FIRST-PERSON: HIV 'is a gay disease' [Treat gay sex like smoking]

Baptist Press ^ | 6-20-08 | Kelly Boggs

[DeweyCA]

Treat gay sex like smoking. Lot of common sense in that approach, so obviously the Libs won't even consider it. The Libs just want their perverted sex more than they want life.

[Grunthor]

[Treat gay sex like smoking]

Tax it? Make them do it 25 feet from the door to a public place? Make them show ID before they do it?

[Grunthor]

Forgot one;

Do we look for “truth” commericals about the “magical amount?”

[BenLurkin]

Of course this guy is right — but we are living in the age of insanity.

Classify it as a ‘pre-existing condition’ so insurance co.’s don’t have to cover/pay for treatment.

[PastorTony]

Lawrence v. Texas needs to be overturned and states can then reinstate sodomy laws. The Federal Government has no business setting policy for HIV or any other disease (in fact we need to dismantle the Dept of HHS), so leave it to the states to deal with. If a state, or a local community, wants to make homosexual acts criminal it is well within their rights to do so.

More than they want life, or a political career! Obviously Obama wanted it!

I prefer to treat it like cancer ... or rabies

[Soliton]

This would be unfair to intraveinous drug users too poor to afford clean needles

[TheBattman]

How about surgeon general warnings and advertisements. Something like these:

Warning! Queer sex can lead to HIV, AIDS, and other diseases that will KILL YOU.

Warning! Sodomy is a sin. God doesn’t like sin. Entire cities have been destroyed because of such sin.

Sodomy is dangerous - just ask the former inhabitants of Sodom and Gamorrah!

Or make the health insurance rates and life insurance rates for homosexuality proportional to the risk, as it is for smokers today. If you can’t get health insurance because of the bad behavior, would the proportion of bad behavior go down, as was seen with smoking?

[Graybeard58]

My health insuror sends me surveys and they always ask if and how much I smoke, they never ask if I’m queer. I wonder which is the cheaper disease to die from, AIDS or cancer?

[Varda]

“We knew this way back in 1980!!!”

Exactly, that’s why it was called Gay-related immune deficiency (GRID) until the homosexuals lobbied to change the name. It spread from homosexuals to IV drug users through ta-da! homosexual sex.

Homosexuals can’t be “wiped out”, it’s a mental illness not a genetic condition. They deserve our compassion and love. Which means we should try to stop them from abusing themselves. Good luck with that. Our society wants to believe all sex can be harmless and inconsequential.

[Wings-n-Wind]

PING = 4 LATER

[SlapHappyPappy]

I agree. No more gay sex in restaurants, bars and other public places.

[Lucky Dog]

Homosexuality is defined by behavior, i.e., unless one engages in sexual activity with a member of the same sex, he, or she, is not a homosexual. (The term sexual orientation merely clouds the issue and refers to a “feeling” that is irrelevant to reasoned behavior.)

Any human behavior (not driven by autonomic or instinctual responses) that is not voluntary is, by definition, a psychosis.

Therefore, homosexual behavior is either a voluntary choice or a psychosis.

If homosexual behavior is a voluntary choice, then it is subject to the same types of societal regulations as is any other sexual behavior such as pedophilia, prostitution, polygamy, etc.

On the other hand, if homosexual behavior is a psychosis, then it is validly subject to treatment and possible cure.

Homosexual individuals are incapable of reproduction if they are exclusively homosexual. (If these individuals do not practice exclusively homosexual activity, then, by definition, they can choose not to be homosexual.) By the principles of genetics, exclusively homosexual practitioners would cause such types of individuals to appear in the population at no greater rate than that of other genetic disorders, e.g., Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrom, which prevent their victims from procreating, not the currently observed proportion of the population.

No society, free or otherwise, continuously allows behavior that is excessively detrimental to its citizens or threatens the continued existence of that society. Homosexual practitioners are responsible, either directly or indirectly, for the vast majority of this country’s AIDS infections as well as a huge STD rate. Beyond these negative impacts is the disruption to society of thousands of years of marital tradition and the stability of the basic building block of society, the family.

The Supreme Court grievous erred in Lawrence v. Texas. The principle outlined in this decision essentially is that government has no authority to regulate private, consensual sexual behavior. From a libertarian viewpoint, this seems like a good thing. However, it completely ignores that incest can fit the same criteria as could prostitution. Furthermore, it ignores the Tenth Amendment. Finally, and most importantly, it imporudently allows a behavior to threaten our society.

great post

[kanawa]

Until the recent cabinet shuffle,
the Minister for Health here in Ontario, Canada was a homosexual.
We heard immense amounts about the dangers of smoking
but nary a peep on the dangers of homosexual behavior.

[IronJack]

Very well-written treatment of society's double standard regarding communal behavior.

We're told that the government has the right to require us to wear seat belts, even though we're adults capable of making our own decisions, because the greater injuries that statistically come from not wearing seat belts is a burden to society. Then the same people tell us that regulating homosexual behavior is unconstitutional, that sex between consenting adults is none of our business and the cost to society does not give it the right to regulate behavior.
