I thought that we needed some more politics on Convoginators. IT has been a while since we threw out some facts and stuff for our meandering surfers out there. Heck! I just want to be quoted again.
AIDS is a highly charged issue these days. If you say the wrong thing about AIDS or HIV then you could be labeled as a hatemonger or homopohobe. Well, I don't much care. AIDS affects mostly gay males. It is a fact. I have been looking at the CDC (Center for Disease Control).
In 1980 the first case of AIDS was diagnosed in North America. He was an Air Canada flight attendant named Gaetan Dugas. Dugas was a notoriously promiscuous homosexual who reputedly had sex with as many as 250 partners a year in gay "bathhouses." 250! That is a problem I am sure. By the end of that year, there were 31 deaths in the United States, confined within the homosexual community.
It definitely is true that HIV and AIDS has spread to both heterosexual and homosexuals. Currently, it is estimated that almost 1 million Americans are now infected with the HIV virus that causes AIDS. About 1 in 300. And women account for almost half of all HIV victims.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the majority of the rest of the victims were gay or bisexual men. The CDC report also noted that women are less than half as likely to transmit the disease to men.
The CDC in Atlanta recently released the latest AIDS figures in a report released in connection with World AIDS Day. According to the CDC, new AIDS and HIV cases in 32 states studied rose by 11 percent between 2000 and 2003. Of the 125,800 new victims examined in the CDC study, 44 percent of them were gay or bisexual men. Homosexual men make up less then 1/20th of a percent of Americans. I am pretty sure that we can say that AIDS is more of a gay thing.
I also learned another little fact about lobbies in Washington. Liberals will always talk about "Big Oil" and "Big Tobacco" lobbies, but the two largest lobbies in Washington are Abortion and Gay right lobbies. I don't know about you, but I am tire of "Big Abortion" and "Big Gay", or "Big Homos."
Homosexuals are so gay.
