how Americans get AIDS

LGBTQ icon Larry Kramer has spent the last 37 years warning of homosexuality's health hazards. He's director of ACT UP whose slogan is: "Silence=Death."
Many gay marriage advocates wish Larry would shut his mouth. His message undercuts the image of being "gay and blissful." Folks are uncomfortable adding unsavory elements like this to the conversation.
Do you think lawyers who presented arguments to the Supreme Court included the following?
"Chief Justice Roberts and esteemed members of the Court, while you will hear our efforts to persuade you to legalize gay marriage today, we must be mindful of serious, elevated health risks the gay lifestyle brings to multitudes. We must be responsible to examine medical data carefully ... ."
I don't think so.
King David, Israel's greatest ruler after whom Jerusalem was named, stated, "I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly" (Ps. 40:10).
Did pro-gay marriage attorneys not "conceal" but tell the whole "truth" in presenting their case?
Say it with me: "I don't think so."
***Infuriating, Heartbreaking Story ***
Last year Entertainment Weekly magazine highlighted the "most important, infuriating, heartbreaking movie of the year," Normal Heart, Larry Kramer's story. They cited chilling stats:
60 percent—the percentage of young Americans living with HIV today who are unaware they're infected
36 million—the number of people who have died of AIDS since 1981
Mr. Kramer once addressed the LGBTQ community in New York. He also had tried to kill himself.
"I have recently gone through my diaries of the worst of the AIDS plague years. I saw day after day a notation of another friend's death. I listed all the ones I'd slept with. There were a couple hundred ... I know I murdered some of them. I just know ... several hundred over a bunch of years ... Most doctors do not like to discuss sex or what we do or did. ... One doctor answered me, 'It takes two to tango so you cannot take the responsibility alone."
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control released findings on gay activity. The "love story" doesn't have a happy ending. The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association also underscores their very real, dangerous elevated risks:
HIV/AIDS
Substance and alcohol abuse
Depression and anxiety
Hepatitis
STDs, including syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV and prostate, testicular, oral and colon cancer.
Gay and bisexual men accounting for 75 percent of syphilis
78 percent of all new HIV infections are among males, overwhelmingly gays.
Psychological Reports and the International Journal of Epidemiology report: Homosexuals have a 20-year-shorter lifespan.
Stats can be impersonal and cold but if you've cared for a 30-year-old gay friend until his excruciating death (I later officiated his funeral with his former gay friends) you feel the pain of a devastating, unnecessary loss.
Dr. Frank Spinelli wrote the following in The Advocate, a gay publication:
"My practice predominantly treats gay men. Guess how many texts and phone calls you might receive during any given weekend involving questions that have to do with ... contracting HIV from unprotected sexual encounters? Now take that number and multiply it by 10 if that weekend should occur around Gay Pride, Folsom Street Fair, Gay Days at Disney, or any one of the Atlantis cruises. Welcome to my world!"
Our Declaration of Independence begins by referencing our Creator whom tens of millions believe designed a beautiful natural order for sexuality, marriage and family. Disregarding divinely established standards have brought epidemic STDs on America.
***Charity and Clarity Can Make for a Happy Ending***
Millions believe we shouldn't redefine marriage, opening the floodgates for polygamy, polyamory and pederasty. We should honor it as it has been defined for 5,000 years of Western Civilization (plus honored by every major world religion and 91 percent of the United Nations countries).
The spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being of gays should be all our concern. Should we shrink back from sharing these realities, the result will be escalating death, disease and diminished lifespans.
For attorneys, advocates and uninformed people swept up by the "marriage equality" express, did you see Mr. Kramer's billboards along the way warning "Silence = Death?"
Larry Tomczak is an author of nine books, including a quarter-million best-seller, Clap Your Hands! He is also a cultural commentator through his weekly articles on three national news services reaching 26 million monthly.

I worked with a lot of gay guys in a graphics department. Nice enough, but WOW, the demented sex stories. Can’t type them here.
Well, I can type one lol. guy would meet six or seven or eight others in park, go to hotel. he had HIV, didn’t tell anyone I think.
and that was the saner story.
the problem is, is that there is no girl with the lesser sex drive to put on the brakes. you guys know what our libido is like!! now imagine if the other half of the partnership was the same!!!
I’m still pondering the fact that someone TOLD you that story....
I’ve got a few gay friends and I’ve heard some bizarre stories too. Most I would rather not tell. It is a bizarre and perverse lifestyle.
but you believe me right? lol. I wouldn’t make up a story like that. He sat next to me and I didn’t know what to say lol that’s the NOTHIHG story. the rest..well..you wouldn’t think it was humanly possible, and I’m not kidding
yeah wow!! lol you gotta figure, like I said, both partners with the drive of a guy!!!
It’s amazing how homosexuals almost always focus on the “hatred” of Christians against their deathstyle, when Christians don’t have anything to do with their deathstyle; they are (most of the time in a loving way as well) trying to warn them that it leads to death. Frankly, it’s all about the science; and the science has proven that the chances for a long life in this deathstyle is very small. I know, I’ve seen the devastation first hand.
Larry Kramer wrote a book called “Faggots”. Imagine a civil rights activist writing a book called “ Ni**ers”.
I totally believe you. I have a family member who has shared some stories with me. Very limited because he knows I would not listen and the stories he has told are mostly about others. One was about a girl with rape fantasies. I could not believe a person would place ads and go to such extremes...not to mention how dangerous. People are really sick.
yeah wow!! lol you gotta figure, like I said, both partners with the drive of a guy!!!
One gay guy I know says he’s hooked up with dozens of married guys. In a conversation he said, “Married men are the worst.” I asked what he meant by that. He said they were the worst for relationships. I then asked how many married men he’s been with. I said, “Five .... ten ....twenty .... 40 ... 50 .... 60 ... “ He said more but didn’t care to elaborate further on the number.
If he had been with that many married men, I wouldn’t care to guess how many other gay men he’s been with.
I’ve read that many will have over 1000 partners in their lifetime. I don’t doubt it.
how Americans get AIDS
totally believable.
one gay guy I worked with told me that he has uses for more than half an arm. I didn’t know what to say..complained at one point when one guy brought in a magazine with a gay Jesus, she called me an instigator.
felt like a little bit of a weasel, should have just asked him to not have it showing.
You might as well tell a moth to stay away from the flame. He will only hate you for advising him to do something he cannot do.
totally believable.
We both understand that lifestyle. The media wants to make it about loving relationships but that’s not often the case.
They meet at the gym, parks, bars, the Internet, etc.
I have done so, and it was one of the worst things I've ever seen. My former comment may have seemed cruel, but one of the things I noticed when I took my friend's address book after his death and started calling his friends and customers to let them know he had died was the sheer number of guys who had fled the lifestyle as soon as the AIDS thing hit town and had gotten married and had children.
As the above post indicated, it's not that some married gay or formerly gay guys aren't on the down low. But if they can function in a marriage well enough to stay married and have children, surely there is hope for healing.
My friend had been a strong, 6 foot tall man who restored houses and built all kinds of mechanical things with great skill. To see him reduced to hallucinations before death and and 73 pounds at death was devastating. I will always miss him. We had been like brother and sister for decades.
I worked in interior design in Atlanta in the 80s, I have some stories too. I saw little that I would describe as gaiety, lots of unhappiness, brokeness, and pain under a veneer of pretense and drama.
A lot of lesbians will have huge numbers of partners as well.
