Puts me in mind of the scripture that says "they will be given over to depraved minds."
I saw some of these guys interviewed a few years ago on a news magazine show. They were so pathetic. I felt terribly sorry for them. It was like they didn't belong anywhere, and getting sick would bring them into a community or something. They would get some attention and be cared about.
I just thought about them being someone's son...that some mother could be watching her son on this show. Very sad.
It makes me doubly thankful that I have 4 normal, healthy adult children.
There was a time that I didn't think that both of my boys would live to adulthood - they fought all the time. Now they are the best of friends at age 30 and 31
Getting help by finding Jesus would be better alternative yet.
Don't get too sentimental about them. They get very generous disability pay from the state if they are too ill to work, subsidies for apartments, free drugs and medical care. Lots of gay doctors in a place like San Francisco will certify anyone who's HIV positive as too sick to work.
Also, many gays abhor the idea of getting old. It's ALL about looks to them, you know. Once a gray hair or wrinkle appears, the "fems" go into emotional tailspins. Why live?
"They were so pathetic. I felt terribly sorry for them."
Don't waste your energy. They neither seek nor welcome your sympathy.
"It was like they didn't belong anywhere, and getting sick would bring them into a community or something."
It is for them a part of the homosexual("gay") identity.(Thereby putting the lie to the claim that "AIDS is not a gay illness.")
"They would get some attention and be cared about."
Not by you. Only by their fellow disease vectors.
Sorry, but these organisms live in a different world than normal people. You don't have a clue about them. I have a glimmer only because I have worked with them off and on for years...
