The recent report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shows an "alarming" rate of STDs among homosexuals.
The government report admits, "While anyone can become infected with an STD, young people and gay and bisexual men are at greatest risk."
In fact, syphilis infections among homosexual men have seen such a massive increase that the government report calls the gay syphilis statistics "troubling."
"Men account for more than 90 percent of all primary and secondary syphilis cases," the report states. "Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for 83 percent of male cases where the sex of the sex partner is known."
The official government report explains that it uses the acronym MSM, "men who have sex with men," because that phrase "indicates the behaviors that transmit infection."
"It's time for policymakers and pundits to acknowledge and deal with the elephant in the room: engaging in homosexual behavior can be very dangerous to one's health," Peter LaBarbera, founder of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), told LifeSiteNews.
The CDC says fully half of MSM who have syphilis are also infected with HIV. If not treated, syphilis causes visual impairment and stroke and increases the chance of catching or transmitting HIV.
"If such overwhelming evidence pointed to any aberrant behavior other than homosexuality as so extremely high-risk, there would be a full-scale government-corporate mobilization urging people not to practice that behavior – or even leveling sanctions against it," LaBarbera pointed out. "Yet homosexualism is celebrated, and promoted – even to young children.
"How tragic and ironic that politically correct politicians and cultural elites are aggressively promoting LGBT agendas, when it is the very living out of those immoral lifestyles that is linked to disease," LaBarbera concluded.
Syphilis rates are concentrated primarily in the gay community, with homosexual men constituting nearly 83 percent of the syphilis cases reported in 2014.
"The fact that 83% of new male syphilis cases are found in the tiny segment of the population (probably less than 4% of all males), who are men who have sex with men, should be setting off major alarm bells," Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies for the Family Research Council, told LifeSiteNews.
"High rates of STDs among men who have sex with men are not a surprise, given the fact that many of them have large numbers of sex partners and engage in the particularly dangerous act of anal intercourse," Sprigg said.
"Unfortunately, the mainstream media appears to be ignoring this finding, because they cannot figure out a way to spin it without reflecting negatively on homosexual conduct itself," Sprigg commented.
Sprigg noted, "The sudden jump in syphilis rates in the last few years, however, demands an explanation. Mark Joseph Stern of Slate may have offered one with the theory that the effectiveness and increased use of PrEP medications for HIV may be having the unintended consequence of reducing condom use in this population, thus increasing their vulnerability to other STDs such as syphilis."
"PrEP," or "pre-exposure prophylaxis," refers to the use before sex of antibiotics and other medications that make the transmission of HIV less likely.
Sprigg concluded, "The latest data only reinforce what pro-family groups have been saying for decades – the only 'safe sex' is sex that is saved for a monogamous, sexually exclusive lifelong marriage."
The government explains the high rate of STDs among homosexuals by attributing it to "individual risk factors," including "higher numbers of lifetime sex partners" and "higher prevalence of STDs."
The government report additionally attributes high STD rates among homosexuals to "homophobia and stigma."
“Unfortunately, your Obamacare dollar will be preferentially spent on those infected through their unnatural acts with multiple partners, but granny won’t get that shiny new stent because the funds won’t be there...”
If they have an antibiotic resistant strain of a disease no amount of money will help. You may be right about granny not getting a stint but Resistant strains of VD will wipe the immoral hookup culture.
The government report additionally attributes high STD rates among homosexuals to "homophobia and stigma."
So people who do not approve of homosexual sex are responsible for homosexuals engaging in sex with other homos and transmitting nasty sexual diseases?
This is such a patently stupid statement that only a government official could think of it.
The federal government is run by idiots and staffed with even more idiots.
Let 'em all rot away.
Therefore they issue orders for straight people to have STDs.
I can’t believe the CDC event admits it

The homosexuals are providing the very petri dish to develop such strains.
Alarming, troubling...predictable, expected.
We need to recognize monogamous heterosexual relationships as microagressions against these “victims”, and pledge to support their perversity in all ways.
They "have gone full psycho!
That's like attributing the increased risk of diabetes and heart disease among the obese to cacomorphobia (fear of the obese) and the stigma of obesity.
Many Christians have allowed the teachings of the Scriptures to become twisted in order to make them handy admonishment for anyone who refuses to “help” those who commit grave sins and evil to escape or mitigate the consequences of their actions. I can find no Scripture that instructs me to do that. We are taught to flee evil that we ourselves not be ensnared and to have no fellowship with those who practice unhealthy and unholy behavior. And yet, our education system is teaching our children to accept and even embrace such as normal and healthy, even in the face of so much proof to the contrary.
I think the primary hidden reason for Obamacare, was to provide coverage for HIV+ men. With treatment, HIV can be suppressed for many years -- at a lifetime cost of $379,000 (in 2010 dollars). Without expensive treatment, the gay community will see the die-off they were experiencing in the early 1990's.
But, eventually, a strain of HIV will mutate and be resistant to all current treatments. This strain will then spread all through the gay community as fast as the original strain of HIV spread.
It’s naturally symptomatic of an aberrant immoral lifestyle.
Free love isn’t free.
They self-selected for extinction. I have no problem with that. I am nor sure why they do since they are all about ‘science’ and Darwin.
They are unfit. That’s not me making some new discovery or ‘homophobic’ comment. It’s their own belief system. I just happened to notice.
They abuse drugs (poppers) to loosen their sphincter muscles and then abuse more drugs to forget about the whole ordeal.
gee. I guess I appreciate the information, but I think you told me waaaaayyyy more than I really ever would need to know.... :0)
Next thing you know, they will say that we should encourage homosexual marriage to cut down on the multiple-partner tendencies of homosexuals!
Most of the homosexuals that I know, are in “open” relationships, because most homosexuals are always all about their sex-life, PERIOD!!
But, hey, let’s act like it’s something else, like homophobia and astigmatism that causes these people to go out and have sex with just about anyone willing to have sex...even when in a relationship!!
So true. I noticed "Judge not lest ye be judged yourself" in a Metallica song and realized that every heathen knows that verse. I started calling it heathen verse 101 and Christians who don't know the bible very well are beaten about the head and shoulders with it.
With the selling of baby parts I started considering the decades of debating my parents about EVERY SINGLE Democrat issue that they defend. Democrats are on the wrong side of the bible on EVERYTHING and 2John came to mind:
9 Whoever transgresses[d] and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
And this from lovey dovey John ;-)
I've decided to avoid even being around Democrats anymore.
