AIDS rate for homosexuals climbs; data called 'astonishing'

AIDS rate for homosexuals climbs; data called 'astonishing'
Dec 2, 2004
By Michael Foust

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--New statistics showing that homosexual men make up 44 percent of all new HIV and AIDS cases underscore the fact that homosexuality itself is unnatural, a prominent leader in the ex-homosexual community says.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data Dec. 2 showing that the number of newly diagnosed HIV and AIDS cases has increased 11 percent among homosexual men. The data spanned a four-year period ending in 2003.

Despite the fact that homosexual men make up only 1 to 2 percent of the population, they nonetheless made up more than 40 percent of the new cases, the data showed.

Tim Wilkins, head of Cross Ministry, Inc. -- a Christian outreach to homosexuals -- called the data "astonishing."

"If homosexuality was normal and natural, you would not have a disease that spreads as ravenously as this does," said Wilkins, who is married now but once was involved in homosexuality.

Homosexual activists responded to the news by calling for better education and prevention -- for instance, the promotion of condom usage. But Wilkins said the problem can be found in homosexual sex itself. Men were not made to have sex with men, he said.

"All of mankind is physiologically heterosexual -- that's just a fact," Wilkins said. "One hundred percent of the homosexual community is physiologically heterosexual.

"We can throw more and more money, bigger budgets, bigger programs, more education [at the problem]. And we see that education is not correcting the problem at all."

For years, studies have shown that homosexual men are prone to promiscuity. A University of Chicago study released in 2003 found that 61 percent of homosexuals in Chicago’s Shoreland area had more than 30 sexual partners. Perhaps just as telling, some two-thirds of same-sex "marriages" in Massachusetts have involved lesbians -- underscoring, pro-family leaders say, the notion that homosexual men are less prone to commitment.

"[The CDC] statistic obviously shows a pathology that indicates an abnormality," Wilkins said. "From a Christian perspective we would call it sin."

Such statistics should result in the scientific community re-evaluating its position on homosexuality, Wilkins said.

The Christian church, though, should not respond by saying, "I told you so," Wilkins said. Instead, the church should respond with compassion.

"We can't allow sin in any form to repulse us from reaching out to people who are hurting," he said. "As horrible as AIDS is, it can be -- and I believe it is -- an opportunity for the church to reach people who are broken."

I think the CDC had a sexuality survey that came out in 2000 or 2001 that showed less than 2% were homosexual.

Strangely, this was apparently the first major survey since Kinsey's flawed reports. Everyone just took his figures and accepted them at face value.

Something like the figure of 10,000,000 homeless that a social services worker and homeless advocate in Washington D.C. named Mitch somethingorother later admitted he simply pulled out of a hat to dramatize the problem. Soon it became received wisdom and was quoted worldwide.

" the tissue in the rectal area is thin and rips easily, exposing tiny open capillaries"

exactly,Lady, exactly.....

the rectum was not meant to be used in such a fashion,as a lifestyle, repeatedly.....

its the sex act itself that homosexuals practice that makes them disease prone.....

a word about "cocktails".....there is some question now whether they really work as well as they hoped, so if I were a practicing homosexual , I wouldn't be counting on that.....

I am not "astonished."
That's a fact.

If that's the attitude behind a big chunk of the infections, I have a really hard time justifying the expenditure of (more) gargantuan amounts of tax money into curing them.

The issue goes beyond money for a cure. I found this trend to be outrageous. Lately, you can read talk in the gay community about strategies for getting insurance coverage for plastic surgery procedures to conteract the effects of protease inhibitor drugs. The effects, termed lipodystrophies, cause accumulations of fat around the shoulders (buffalo hump), abdominal area (protease paunch) and fat loss and redistribution from the face resulting in wrinkles and tell-tale hollow cheeks. They have lobbied mightily to get tumscent liposuction, Retylane "cheek-filler" injections, and hormones reclassified from elective (they pay) to necessary (you and I pay). None of these expensive procedures are necessary for health, its just that its really hard to successfully cruise for sex in parks and the baths with a hollow gaunt face and Quasimodo hump. So lets all cut funding for childhood cancer and diabetes research and be inclusive and tolerant for the plight of gay dance club wallflowers everywhere.

With so much talk of AIDS infection being a "badge of honor" among gays, the hunchback, paunch and corpse-like face should really turn 'em on, shouldn't it?

How can people read statistics like this and still believe that AIDS is caused by a contagious virus named HIV?

If AIDS were caused by a virus that could be passed by sexual intercourse then it would spread like wildfire in the heterosexual community. The simple fact that it hasn't and won't has nothing to do with the good practices of heterosexuals and everything to do with the fact that HIV is not the cause of AIDS.

This has been obvious since at least the late 80's. I am amazed that the HIV=AIDS fiction has any legs left.

Agreed...one must consider the types of sex involved, screen out the more risky behavior/practices, one should just hope to be spongeworthy.

But they tell me it's a disease that is now primarily spreading in the hetero population.

Remember all that garbage from the media and the gay groups? All intended to portray the "We are not the cause" or "Our activities are normal, after all it's just an alternative lifestyle" agenda.

Your guy Mohammed Ali Al-Bayati is right on the mark.

The original advocate of the HIV does not cause AIDS theory is certainly Dr. Peter Duesberg. His books and papers would persuade anyone who is rational and takes the time to actually read him with an open mind. It is nice to see that there are others willing to fight the political correct HIV=AIDS crowd and tell the truth about AIDS.

Here is a link to an early Duesberg paper:

We are spending more money to find a cure for this PREVENTABLE disease than we are on cancer and heart diseases.


An excerpt from 'The Homosexual Lifestyle is Costing You Plenty!'

The 1998 Federal Budget includes $4.746 billion for AIDS funding. That is a $465 million increase over the 1997 Budget. That is more funding than all forms of cancer combined!

Federal Money (your money) Spent per Death:

AIDS/HIV:
$39,172
Diabetes:
$5,449
Heart Disease:
$1,056
Stroke:
$765

(Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 1996).

So much for the freedom loving, smaller-less intrusive government conservatives, huh? By the way, I want a detailed report on what went on in your bedroom last night.
