A steep jump in cases of two deadly sexually transmitted diseases in the UK has been found among homosexual men, a new study says.

Figures from the Public Health England (PHE) indicate the increase in cases of syphilis and gonorrhea among homosexual males rose considerably higher than that of the general population, prompting health experts to say the problem must be a public health priority and that this is likely just “the tip of the iceberg.

The PHE study showed a total jump of 33 percent in cases of deadly syphilis, and the increase among homosexual men at 47 percent.

Cases of gonorrhea climbed by 19 percent overall, with that number escalated to 32 percent in men who have sex with men.

“The sexual revolution was sold with the promise that people could have sex without consequences,” Family Research Council Senior Fellow for Policy Studies Peter Sprigg told LifeSiteNews. “The current high rates of STI’s show what an empty promise that was.”

“We can see now that it is a myth that there is no difference between homosexual and heterosexual relationships,” he said, “and it is a myth that growing acceptance of homosexuality will lead to a reduction in high-risk behavior.”

My sympathy for gays dying of self-inflicted disease disappeared when they applauded the latest Supreme Court ruling. Trample my God-given rights, in particular the right to the free exercise of religion (and restricting that exercise to mere debate is trampling that right), and I’ll shift my sympathy to those more deserving. I still won’t applaud as they infect each other and die, but there are limits on how many causes I can care about. Klan, communist, North Korean dictator, and gay mafia disease or deaths will not make my list.
