I wonder if Liam Neeson will comment on this in regards to his Kinsey movie.

I believe it's been established as a medical fact that "gay sex" is an especially efficient way of spreading many diseases.

Liberals say (in the context of stem cell research and other areas) that "religion shouldn't cloud the science." Here, it may well be that POLITICS is clouding the science.

Where have I heard about this before. Oh, yes, I remember:

"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-- who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion." (Romans 1:22-27)

Seems that the Roman empire had similar issues.

Let me guess....this disease, too, is Bush's fault...either that, or it was created by a Richard Mellon Scaiffe-funded lab to kill off liberals.

Why the sudden alarm?
This disease has been around for a great many decades.

But what about gay marriage? Isn't that the issue that really concerns gays? This "disease" is just another failure by the Bush administration. It was probably inculcated (like that liberal ivory-tower word usage??) by the Christians.

"You can get really sick with this, but it doesn't present like an S.T.D., and neither clinicians nor patients will be thinking of an S.T.D.," said Dr. Stuart Berman, chief of the epidemiology and surveillance branch in the division of sexually transmitted disease prevention at the disease control centers.

Naturally not - STDs generally involve the genitals. Last time I checked, the rectum was not a genital. When you use it as one, don't be surprised to find things like this showing up. And BTW, rectal cancer is 4000% more likely among anal sexaholics compared to the regular population.

This wouldn't happen if we just let them marry and...huh, they can marry over there? This can't be right! Clearly, it must be Bush's fault.
