Gays faced with new STD strains
By JACOB GOLDSTEIN

In the past five years, without much fanfare, a syphilis epidemic has emerged among gay men in South Florida and around the country.
Nationwide, rates of drug-resistant gonorrhea have risen rapidly in gay men.
And a rare form of chlamydia has spread among gay men in Europe, moved to Canada and New England, and may have made its way to South Florida.
Syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia are all curable, but they can be painful and, if not treated promptly, can cause long-term damage. And having a sexually transmitted disease makes it much easier to contract or transmit HIV.
The rise of these diseases follows the return of high-risk sex in some parts of the gay community -- and an increase in new HIV cases among gay men

It's 1980, all over again, IMO. Of course the radical homosexual lobby will blame Bush for the explosion in new STD's and HIV, like they did Reagan, and not their selfish, hedonistic, and promiscuous ways.

FYI: South Florida is home to the only city in America (Wilton Manors, Broward County) with an all-Gay city council.

Another contributing factor (to "gay" health issues) that is rarely mentioned in the LSM is the fact that male homosexuals are among the biggest users of crystal meth.

Homo-perversion aside, I wonder what percentage of normal (hetero) folks who waited 'til marriage to have sex have STD's?

"sounds like a self correcting problem."
Sounds like you're wishing death on large numbers of people. Culture of death strikes again?

It strikes me that STDs are God's or nature's way of telling people to stop screwing around.

If the newest trend keeps up, they'll have to be worrying more about dying than trying to get married to each other.
