"I treasure human touch..." Oh, how melodramatic. What's amazing is that this guy apparently doesn't see any irony in saying that avoiding AIDS is not "a viable option..."
Mr. Tuller, remind me and the rest of America why we are supposed to care more about your life than you do. I keep forgetting.
I could also, I suppose, limit my contacts to H.I.V.-negative men. Straight people recommend that strategy as if it is a no-brainer.
That's right, we do. If you had a CAT scan along with your HIV test, maybe you would know why -- or, actually, perhaps someone could try to explain it to you.
But they are not confronting a dating pool so full of potential risk. In my city, lots of the gay men I meet are H.I.V.-positive. Thanks to the current crop of medications, many have successfully kept illness at bay and continue to lead full lives.
Giving you all the freedom that you desire to fornicate like rabbits. Yeah, that worked out real well in the 1970's, didn't it?
To reject such a huge number of people out of hand feels wrong, like rejecting someone for having cancer or diabetes. That sort of discrimination, however understandable, long ago earned a name in the gay community: viral apartheid.
Yeah, buddy, it "feels wrong" to reject someone with this communicable disease that you have so much trepidation about, "like rejecting someone for having cancer or diabetes," which you can't catch.
Well, that does it. Not only is homosexuality abnormal, it rots your brain, too.
What perverse, friggin' nonsense! How utterly sick.
Dementia secondary to AIDS can be the presenting complaint.
