A new, casually transmittable infection a unique strain of bacterial meningitis has cast a pall over the gay night life and dating scene, with men wondering whether this is AIDS, circa 1981, all over again. Seven men have died in New York City, about a third of diagnosed cases, since 2010. And in the last few months, the contagion seemed to be accelerating. It has targeted gay and bisexual men, and nobody knows exactly why.
The citys best hope to curb the outbreak is to vaccinate as many at-risk men as possible, focusing on those most in danger: men who regularly hook up with other men whom they meet at parties, bars, clubs and through apps like Grindr. Dr. Don Weiss, the director of surveillance for the citys Bureau of Communicable Disease, has called it Russian roulette sex, because sooner or later, you are going to come across this organism and be exposed.
The health departments own vaccination efforts at several gay bars have had limited success. Men out partying want to have fun, not be told that they may fall prey to a lethal disease by doing so.

I think I'll apply for a government grant to find a reason. Mid-seven figures ought to do it.
“Viruses that cause meningitis include enteroviruses...”
Enter, o viruses. There, fixed it.
Stars & Strips Forever, Thanks for the reference in your response to reaganut1 which I copied below in case anyone missed it. A look in the Book always gives us the way to live and what happens when we stray from the “straight” and narrow. We are all sinners saved by grace. The homosexual lifestyle is right up there with gossiping, lying, horoscope reading, etc. A sin is a sin and our nation is suffering from our discretions.

The comments are interesting lots of gay men complaining that their lifestyle is being stigmatized. Sodomy and promiscuity are condemned for a reason.
PROVERBS 5:12-13
In the end you will groan in anguish
when disease consumes your body.
12 You will say, How I hated discipline!
If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
13 Oh, why didnt I listen to my teachers?
Why didnt I pay attention to my instructors?

“It has targeted .....”
No, it has not targeted anyone. It is incapable of that. Certain people have made themselves more vulnerable to it.
But that’s not PC!
only seven have died and they’re saying this is the new aids?!?
please. homo-hystericity reaches new heights.
stop all your unprotected anal sex, rimming, fisting, bukkake, and anonymous orgies with any guy that moves, stop bug chasing, and keep it in the pants, and you’ll have a huge advantage to staying healthy.
Yeah. As if having anal sex with someone was “casual”.
Indeed. I figure electrical plugs and electrical outlets will soon be criminalized since they promote “heteronormativity”.
It’s 1981 all over again. We have another ‘doctor’ in the article calling infection “exposure”, as if the disease is simply floating about in the open air and no one can be expected to avoid it. These people are truly sick.
Romans 1:26-27
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
But we're assured by Osama Obama & Pals that "it's just a different kind of love".
Because repeated thrusting upward into the exit chute, where there are lots of tiny capillaries pointing downward that were never designed to handle upward friction, pushes infectious agents into the bloodstream.
And they can say this with a straight face (pun definitely intended).
That this infection seems to be predominant among gay men is probably just a weird coincidence like AIDS. The solution is to pass laws prohibiting the conduct of epidemiological investigations or reporting so that we don’t suspect misconduct on their part, because, after all, it couldn’t possibly be related to their lifestyle.
Lol. I know why.
It’s a shame there isn’t a simple way of preventing all these rampant diseases.
Not ironic at all is the mention of Lady Gaga’s ‘Poker Face’, which is riddled with homosexual innuendo.
Check out today’s movie I posted-

They actually quote those verses, something I never thought would happen in a secular film.
Coming to a school curriculum near you.
