    Sure. Maybe we should have an 'Aids Awareness' month. Works for Breast Cancer doesn't it?

    Having risky sex is not longer relevant to the comparison. Being gay is different than having sex with someone of the same-sex. Likewise, having gay sex is different than having unprotected, risky gay sex. Only unprotected risky gay sex is the problem.

    clearly the solution is to make homosexuality a crime, punishable by death.

    Like I said, I and others are going to continue correcting you. And nobody is fooled by the reasons you keep doing it.

    Please explain how being gay is different than having sex with someone of the same-sex. In the scientific world, gay men are known as men who have sex with other men. And they're at the highest risk of getting AIDS.

    From the OP link:

    Does it really matter if they call themselves gay or not?

    Nature, "Mother Nature", "Gaia", "Mother Earth", or maybe some of you still refer to the Creator as "God", has ways to remove defects from the population. It is not always as immediately obvious or dramatic as scenes from an old Cecil B. DeMille movie -- and yet -- it works! Surely, dependably, and, naturally....

    Unfortunately for many gay men, AIDS carries out that death sentence.

    Maybe it's time for the gay community to stop demanding and start taking care of their own. How sad that so many young men think AIDS is a disease of the past. Wonder how many older gay men lecture their 'little brothers' on the dangers of promiscuity?

    Yeah, none is what I'd guess, too. :no:

    Yup, this benefits everyone, regardless of sexual preference. Monogamy and marriage are not mutually exclusive though, so in places where gay marriage is not allowed, that is still not an excuse for sleeping around. (I have no problem with gay marriage on a personal level.. you know, the live and let live thing. Not my place to judge.)

    I'd be OK with making them pay an increased health insurance copay just like smokers.

    Sexual orientation is not defined by who one has sex with. By that logic, anyone who is a virgin has no sexual orientation. That is absurd. Sexual orientation is defined by what sex a person has romantic and sexual attraction to. Those attractions can be known prior to any sexual experience. Gay men who do not have anal sex are not at serious risk for HIV whatsoever, which is why "men who have sex with men" is used.

    Nobody is denying that HIV is a problem that especially impacts the gay community, or that most men who have sex with men are gay. My point was related to the comparison another poster made between left-handedness and homosexuality. Having gay sex is not the problem. Having unsafe gay sex is. That was the point.

    Good recommendations from the article:

    Decriminalising and destigmatising these groups would greatly help bring down HIV infections among them, WHO said.
    Promoting condom use, wide-spread voluntary HIV testing, treating at-risk individuals with antiretrovirals, voluntary male circumcision and needle exchange programmes figure among the other WHO recommendations for battling the disease.

    Thx for the explanation. Men don't become gay because they have sex with other men. They have sex with other men because they're gay.

    The only difference between straight men and gay men is sexual preference. Therefore it's impossible to remove that equation from the mix.

    Unfortunately, the number of women becoming HIV+ is increasing as well. I attribute that rise to the popularity of the ole AOL term STR8MM4M

    A lot of married men fool around with other men and bring the results home to their wives. Sad but true.

    I'm just confused, as it seems to have absolutely no relation to what I said.

    Fine. The difference between us is I don't give excuses for heterosexual pedphiles. If they are married to the oppoiste sex I see it for what it is. A cover and a lie.

    I'm sorry Cubed but that simply isn't true. There are homosexual and heterosexual pedophiles.

    You quote an opinion. I'll quote the dictionary.

    Definition of homosexual (n)
    Bing Dictionary

    ho·mo·sex·u·al
    [ ho&#772;&#768;m&#601; sékshoo &#601;l ]

    somebody attracted to same sex: somebody who is sexually attracted to members of his or her own sex


    No mention of age requirement.


    ho·mo·sex·u·al·i·ty
    [hoh-muh-sek-shoo-al-i-tee, or, esp. British, -seks-yoo-] Show IPA
    noun
    sexual desire or behavior directed toward a person or persons of one's own sex.


    No mention of age requirement.


    homosexual
    &#8194;
    ho·mo·sex·u·al
    [hoh-muh-sek-shoo-uhl or, esp. British, -seks-yoo-] Show IPA
    adjective
    1.
    of, pertaining to, or exhibiting homosexuality.
    2.
    of, pertaining to, or noting the same sex.
    noun
    3.
    a homosexual person
    .

    No mention of age requirement.


    And you act as if the scientific community doesn't categorize them as homosexual and heterosexual pedophiles which is completely false.

    The proportions of heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles among sex offenders against children: An exploratory study

    http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00926239208404356

    This is about accuracy pure and simple. I and 99% of the people on my side here do not claim all homosexuals are pedophiles. That's a lie by the far left to defect from the subject. But being accurate about what this man is, is extremely important just as it is when someone is a heterosexual pedophile and in either case, no one should harp on the false life they lived as an adult when they were in fact a pedophile.

    Care to show us where the words HETEROSEXUAL & HOMOSEXUAL are mentioned ANYWHERE in the definition of pedophile Tex?

    I don't really get the point of this thread. Gay men get HIV, so...

    Do you know what a quote is?

    quote
    kw&#333;t/

    noun

    1. a quotation from a text or speech.
    "a quote from Wordsworth"
    2. a quotation giving the estimated cost for a particular job or service.
    "quotes from different insurance companies"

    Here's a pro tip for you: quotes from an OP are germane to the OP.

    I don't think that somebody who makes hundreds of threads about gay sex should be lecturing me about a "rant".

    Psst. Notice the quote?

    I don't care if you care.

    From your source:

    Looks like your own source disagrees with your complaints about the term "homosexual pedophile". Maybe you should take it up with them?

    I bet they probably do, with many more partners.
