Gay Men Are Dying From Another Crisis We’re Not Talking About. No one’s grappling with the meth crisis.

Someone living a barren and hedonistic lifestyle will be tempted to do drugs. What do they have to lose? If male homosexuals are celibate and avoid endangering themselves and others, they are less likely to use drugs.

[Ancient Man]

And I’m supposed to be concerned, why?

[Responsibility2nd]

If you really wanna save gays - then support Conversion Therapy.

Or make Sodomy illegal again. Criminalize homo marriages.

[humblegunner]

Yes, we must save the homos from themselves.

What would we ever do without them?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The New York Times, continued:

"The Trump Administration, with its anti-LGBT policies, has cut funding for LGBT groups by over 50%, contributing to the crisis in gay men dying. The burden of blame definitely goes to Mr. Trump and his white supremacist, right-wing Christian supporters."

They have meth fueled orgies where uninfected men purposely have sex with infected men.

I’m not interested in saving them, I don’t care.

[goldstategop]

Who cares? AIDS is so 80s. What’s next? A Baywatch reboot? Spare me.

[o-n-money]

It’s the government’s fault for anyone’s meth use?

[DoughtyOne]

I have no more or less concern for the abusers of Meth, that happen to be homosexuals.

I would urge everyone to avoid Meth, but then that’s just me.

[goldstategop]

Its all Trump’s fault. Impeach him!

[A_Former_Democrat]

Always “victims” with tons of excuses

Never perpetrators

[Enlightened1]

Actually President Trump has been talking about this going back to the 2016 campaign.

New York Times is so hateful of President Trump they do not even realize he has been going after Meth and other illegal drugs.

[datura]

My give a damn is definitely busted.

[calenel]

Er… are gay men addicted to meth being singled out and discriminated against relative to straight mail meth addicts? “Scores” doesn’t seem like a significant number relative to the overall problem.

[PGR88]

One explanation for this could be that gay men struggle with acceptance in ways straight men don’t have to. Growing up gay, and being forced to keep that a secret for fear of family rejection or neighborhood bullying can create huge insecurities and issues with intimacy.

Once again, their self-destructive behavior is everyone’s fault but their own.

Blame accepted.

signed...

white supremacist, right-wing Christian supporter.

 

[mumblypeg]

Oh, dear. Another self destructive lifestyle habit we weren’t aware of (because we don’t do it because we’re bigots) but we’re to blame for it and now it’s our job to fix it for them...because us being bigots is what causes them to indulge in self destructive habits...

Did I get that right?

[goldstategop]

Meth epidemic 2.0 software. Attempting to reboot. Press any key when ready...
