My post to you hit the wall, when the admin moderator freaked out, and now I forgot what is was about, except that it was about a gay couple, both highly successful professionals, church going, "married" in a ceremony by a rogue Episcopalean priest with family and friends in attendance (they did the wedding dance ;)), with two adopted kids, whom, so far as I know, don't engage in any risky behaviors when it comes to their health. One size does not fit all.
Yeaahh thanks for reminding me what it was we were discussing. I was about ready to start posting corn bread recipes again.....
My point is, gays engage in enough risky behavior to lower their life expectancy 20 years.
We've heard the anecdotes about the smoker who lived to be 98.
And we also know that such is the exception, rather than the rule.
Now, look at the gays who cause public health hazards - and IMO those are a large percentage of gays. They ignore years of AIDS education. They engage in drug abuse and high-risk sex.
But we cannot criticize the gay lifestyle, can we, without risk of being labelled a bigot?
