The first disease with civil rights.

We knew at the beginning that the primary vector was practitioners of anal intercourse.

They should have been isolated then -- before it got out of the pervert population and into the rest of America.

Virus opened door to sex education ... and the deification of homsexuals by the popular culture.

May have opened the door to sex education, BUT the truth about it is not taught. To make it a hate crime to teach the truth is bad policy to the extreme!

WHAT a LOAD of CRAP......Sex Education began in the late 60's/early 70's.....BEFORE ANYONE was talking about AIDS (or probably before it was even known.)

MORAL ABSOLUTES PING

DISCUSSION ABOUT:

How AIDS changed sex in America. Or did it? Virus opened door to sex education

The left still refuses to exist that the best prevention is abstinence, followed by marriage and monogamy. Condoms and red ribbons only contribute to the problem.

Nice to see that we still have a "Presidential AIDS office" defended by the likes of Pat Robertson.

I seem to remember the open discussion of sex in school and in "polite" society in general coinciding with "Get a Piece of the" Rock Hudson's death. Would you believe Prudential didn't use that slogan for five years because of that?

I don't wish to start tinfoil hat conspiracy theories here, but I do often wonder about the origin of AIDS.

"At first, AIDS appeared to be a disease of gay men..."

And, after years of further research, by golly, it still is!

Sex education got going big time in the late 70's and early 80's, even before AIDS became widely known. SEICUS (Sex Education Information Council of the US) had been preparing booklets and movies for high schools. With AIDS however, it began to drift down into the middle schools, and by the early 90's folks were pushing it for Kindergarten. This tracked right along with the media and music working hard to sexualize our kids with sit-coms beginning to push the envelope, and singers like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Prince pushing the slut-puppy look.

AIDS is not about the disease, it is an agenda. If this was about public health there would have been a quarantine, but since it was spread by "protected" classes, that could never happen.
