The quoted section of your post is not in my #12 which you answer. Perhaps you answered the wrong post?
Personally, i don’t give a rip over where the disease starts, stays or ends up. i simply want to see it CURED.
Think you meant to reply to #9
between being gay/bi and intravenous drug use, i’d put it at, what, 94%?
Smart move. They weren’t fooling anyone anyway. This USA200 bug is making AIDS look like a back-bencher anyway. Moving through the gay community now, and kills quicker.
We obviously don't know the same lesbians, LOL.
Some of the ones i know are real cuties, and some could stop a runaway train, same as any other population.
A new, more extreme strain of MRSA. MRSA is a bacterial infection highly resistant to antibiotics. USA200 has a high resistance to those antibiotics that still have some effect on the more common MRSA strain.
MRSA is something you used to only find in hospitals. Now the beast is loose, and you are seeing it anywhere there is lots of physical contact - HS football players catching it from artificial turf. Wrestlers in IC and Prep competitions are catching it, etc.
USA200 started cropping up in SF, Mass, NYC and other areas of high homosexual population concentrations. Totally downplayed in the MSM, but the CDC is starting to freak out, because the same sort of epidemiological patterns they saw with AIDS is manifesting with USA200, only way, way faster.
The CDC statistics back you up completely. Also, half the cases amongst women are from injection drug use.

At these queer parties I'd ask those (mostly drunk) queer guys how it could make sense for them to put their thing in another guys north side and then put the poop covered item in their mouths. They never ever seemed to like that question or answer it either. They'd always start talking about "love" and "being together" and such flowery stuff. Then they'd look at my 16 year old self and try to get me to join up and be queer too. When they tried that and touch me I found they don't like it when you throw them up against a wall either. Except for the one big guy with the leather chaps outfit on. He liked to get bounced off things and I was happy to help him out.
Other than the queer part they were some of the funniest and happiest guys you'd ever run across. Until you got to know them (man they like to chatter!) and then they were not real happy and mostly kind of messed up in the head.
I'm pretty sure a lot of those guys came out of their mommies wired up wrong. Maybe like instead of getting the thing where a guys head says "nice front" or "nice rear" when he sees a gal? Guys know what I mean. That's just something you are made with and there is nothing you can do about it. It appears to me that with these queer guys at some point nature made a mistake and instead their head says "nice Bob". Or Ralph or whoever.
I'm sure glad that didn't happen to me. In fact, when those queer guys would get to kissing each other on the lips at the parties I mentioned above it made me queasy sick in the stomach. I just can't watch that. I don't know why but that's just the way I am.

ok, you said your friend’s dad got ‘confused,’ then that gays are ‘born that way.’ was the dad born that way? did he stay gay? I can’t speak for all, but most of the gay men I know had absent or bad fathers. I think some go gay to have close male relationships they missed out on. A lot of lesbians also, and many were victims of sexual abuse, especially the ‘lipstick’ lesbians. The breakdown of the family and no fathers is contributory.
You’ve never heard the term “tea room” or “gay bathouse”? When I lived in SF’s SOMAR distict in the mid 80’s, there was a parking lot next alley over that every weekend hosted 10-20 gays against the board fence performing oral sex while a row of cars with 12v spotlights trained on the scene watched like some demented drive-in movie. This could be seen from many houses surrounding the lot. Neighbors with families who illuminated the parking lot with yard lights mounted on their houses had their car windows broken, homes vandalized or suffered phone harassment. Eventually the lot owner was forced to install flood light illumination and the problem moved elsewhere. Anonymous public sex is a core gay institution.
I highly recommend the aforementioned book, And The Band Played On, for anyone who dares to be clued in on the finer points of homosexual practice. Shilts’ reporting pulled no punches. When I read the book, it was so frank I did not suspect that Shilts himself had AIDS, which he later died from. WARNING...GRAPHIC...Read about men in private bathhouse rooms lying on their stomachs next to a can of Crisco, “taking on all comers.” Read about ‘fisting’ and the “prime taste treat” of ‘rimming’ which will give you a nice case of giardia from ingesting human waste. It is not for the faint hearted or weak stomached, but it will wake people up to reality. HBO made a good but sanitized movie version. Shilts was a brave man who chronicalled the outbreak and the deathstyle that wrought it.
