Do you support same-sex unions? How it is even relevant?
Less than 1% of all U.S. adults are in a same-sex marriage LGBT Americans Married to Same-Sex Spouse Steady at 10%
Meanwhile,
In 2020, male-to-male sexual contact accounted for 68% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States and dependent areas. In the same year, heterosexual contact accounted for 22% of all HIV diagnoses.
Overall, the practice pf sodomy has (historically) resulted in a greatly increased incidence of other infectious diseases and effects besides HIV, from Meningitis to premature death. Which diseases includes Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis A and B, HPV, Syphilis, HIV to Meningitis and body dysmorphia and eating disorders and recently Monkey pox. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men have accounted for 83% of primary and secondary syphilis cases where sex of sex partner was known in the United States. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men have been found to be 17 times more likely to get anal cancer than heterosexual men. (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7138a1.htm)
Vanderbilt University Medical Center states: Men who have sex with men and gay men are at increased risk for certain types of chronic diseases, cancers, and mental health problems… #1: HIV/AIDS. #2: Anal Papilloma #3: Hepatitis #4: Substance Use #5: Depression and Anxiety #6: Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) #7: Prostate, Testicular, and Colon Cancer #8: Alcohol #9: Tobacco #10: Body image problems and obesity. (https://www.vumc.org/lgbtq/key-health-concerns-msm-men-who-have-sex-men)
Anal cancer is particularly one of the diseases that is far more prevalent among MSM than other population groups, being diagnosed in about 2 people out of every 100,000 people in the general population. In contrast, it is estimated that MSMs that are not infected with HIV are 20 times more likely to be diagnosed with anal cancer. HPV is present in approximately 65% of HIV negative MSMs and 95% of MSMs who are HIV positive. Anal cancer is caused by the same strains of HPV (Human Papillomavirus) that cause cervical cancer in women. (https://cancer-network.org/cancer-information/gay-men-and-cancer/anal-cancer-hiv-and-gaybisexual-men)
Related to this is that,
The risk of becoming infected with HIV during condomless anal sex is 10 to 20 times greater than condomless vaginal sex. Because the rectal lining is only one-cell thick, the virus can more easily reach immune cells to infect. (https://www.mtnstopshiv.org/news/rectal-microbicides-fact-sheet)
Also, multiple studies [2017] have found a rise in unprotected sex among men who have sex with men. (https://europepmc.org/article/med/32332483)
Also reported, "People living with HIV in Canada had eight times the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other non-AIDS-related dementia as their HIV-negative counterparts, and they were diagnosed 12.5 years earlier [which in part may be due to more medical attention], according to an analysis published in BMJ Open.
They also had higher rates of several other age-related chronic conditions....Antiretroviral treatment has been associated with kidney damage and cardiovascular disease, and viral hepatitis and alcohol use—both common among HIV-positive people—can cause liver disease." (https://www.poz.com/article/people-hiv-diagnosed-dementia-13-years-earlier)
Even when their disease is well controlled, people with HIV can develop aging-related conditions such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, kidney and liver disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive impairment decades ahead of their HIV-negative counterparts, and
their life expectancy is significantly reduced.)
And a new study shows evidence that "HIV-positive people are at an increased risk of age-related diseases such as some cancers, frailty, osteoporosis, kidney disease, and neurocognitive disease. Researchers think that it is the HIV itself that accelerates the aging process by 14 years, rather than medications used to treat it."

Well, until I saw his picture, which is where I got the confirmation, I had no idea what he looked like. However, the moment I saw his picture I was pretty sure that I was correct. Then I saw the blurb that confirmed beyond the shadow of doubt. I saw you had already posted his picture, so I just added the confirmation piece to your post. If it wasn’t you that posted the picture, then to that person’s post.

I posted his picture ... he just looks queer.
Your research into his “marriage” confirms my suspicions.

Perhaps the older one has gotten midnight fondling visits.
Absolute insanity when we allowed them to raise children, in my opinion. Nothing but a form of child abuse, or at least a strong possibility of that becoming the reality.
