HHS Secretary Makes No Mention of Homosexuality in Speech on AIDS
cnsnews.com ^ | Penny Starr

Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that gay and bisexual men comprise “the only risk group in the U.S. in which new HIV infections have been increasing since the early 1990s” and make up 53 percent of all new HIV infections in the United States each year, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius did not mention them in a speech she gave about the disease.

Sebelius delivered her speech on Wednesday as part of the Obama administration’s commemoration of the first reported incidence of HIV/AIDS some 30 years ago.

On June 5, 1981, the CDC reported the first cases of the new disease, found in five homosexual men in Los Angeles, two of whom had died by the time the report was published.

“We are here to remember those we have lost to this pandemic and to honor those who fight against the virus and for a cure,” Sebelius said on Wednesday. “We are here to mark the gains we have made over the last 30 years and to look ahead with hope and purpose at the next steps we must take in our fight against HIV/AIDS.”

“The story of the first three decades has been one of great commitment, discovery and collaboration,” Sebelius said. “But it is also a story of enormous uncertainty and terrible loss.”

This is the only issue where the sodomites don’t demand attention.

She won’t mention them because you can’t piss off a huge junk of Barry’s donor base for the campaign.

Well, you don’t want to hurt feelings, you know.

Telling truth could be hurtful!

Oh no! I have a right not to be offended!

OMG.

“We could cut HIV infections in half overnight if men would simply quit having sex with other men” isn’t quite PC these days. The truth is not allowed anymore.

“commemoration of the first reported incidence”

WHAT THE?

Why dont they celebrate the first person cured?

gee...it’s almost as if they are trying to build a new “protected” class...

They are now pushing for people with HIV to be able to donate blood...

Insane.

And non-gays that get AIDS can trace their AIDS back to a fudge-packer.

WE have homosexual perverts harassing kids daily, and openly I might add, with their promotion of their deviant lifestyle and setting the kids up for pederastic advances. Imagine if you were in grade school today and you are forceably required to listen to perverts who consume feces during acts of rimming and felching. Perverts who are the #1 vector for the spread of infectious diseases telling kids about their healthy, normal lifestyle.

Here is a list of what many doctors refer to as “Lavender” diseases. They occur with extraordinary frequency among male homosexuals.
Anal Cancer
Chlamydia trachomatis
Cryptosporidium
Giardia lamblia
Herpes simplex virus
Human immunodeficiency virus
Human papilloma virus
Isospora belli
Microsporidia
Gonorrhea
Viral hepatitis types B & C
Syphilis

Not always, but yes, there are those who don’t seem to care about their contaminated blood going into the blood banks for others to use. In Africa, however, not so much.

Trust me, they do in Canada, because they want a cure, and blame society for discriminating against them as a reason for disproportionate contracting of the disease.

And Obama’s admin won’t mention Islam when speaking of terrorism, Mexico when speaking of illegal immigration, or of culture when speaking of the failure of public education.

What do you expect from them?

Actually, non-homosexuals who get AIDS are overwhelmingly IV drug abusers, who get it from dirty needles. But if you go way back to patient zero, yeah, you got a homosexual at the scene of the crime.

Gone from staying in the closet; coming out of the closet and now displaying “pride” in their perversion.
