Today, the gay community is facing another crisis that we’re not talking about and that elected officials are once again ignoring. Scores of gay men are addicted to crystal methamphetamine. The drug, which can change the chemical composition of the brain in chronic users, is extremely addictive. And just like during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 90s, resources are paltry, government support is virtually nonexistent and an aura of denial surrounds the crisis.
Gay men are more likely to try meth than straight men. 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.
My best friend was rejected by his family for being gay and beaten in the streets of his hometown in Mexico. He had to flee to the United States for refuge. As he grew older, he became more and more desperate to belong to a community. He sought out men on gay apps, and ended up falling for a handsome young man who was addicted to meth. He fostered my friend’s addiction. The initial drug use was about acceptance and remaining relevant in an overly sexualized culture. Now, despite recent interventions by me and other people, my friend is overcome by the daily ritual of obtaining and using crystal meth. He’s a different person than the one I’ve known for over 25 years.
There are many stories like this. The truth is, using meth can create a twisted sense of camaraderie among users.
Hookup apps like Grindr make finding meth — as well as men to use it with — fast and easy.

So if we were are part of a religion that engages in a practice that was the mode of transmission in 93% of new HIV cases among male youth aged 13 to 24 , and accounted for 82% of diagnoses among males inn general , and approx. 70% of all new HIV diagnoses , and 2 out of every 3 diagnoses in the United States , despite only representing approximately 4% of the male population , then we would be the victims of those who do not want to promote or foster it?
In addition to which is the financial cost shared by all taxpayer which has been going for decades: https://peacebyjesuscom.blogspot.com/2019/10/negative-effects-of-homosexual.html
God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified - and only condemned homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
They have to drug themselves to quiet the screaming of their soul as they debase themselves, but of course this asshole blames it everyone else.
Do you mean to say that irresponsible people should be required to take responsibility and suffer painful consequences for their own stupidity? Tell me it isn’t so!
Oh the great manatee!

Not one dime of my money if i had a choice. Not another dependent class.
Lots of people around here die real young or have lots of problems. Lots of obits for ones born from the 90s and earlier. Always made out to be much more than they ever could be. Sad.
Good riddance.
We have seen pictures of gay pride parades, it is all about sex. Lewd behavior, nudity even children are brought to these parades which is a form of child abuse. I once saw a photo of a New York gay parade, at one side there were several people holding a huge banner with the letters NAMBLA, which stands for the North American Man Boy Love Association. Don’t be surprised if the LGBT becomes the LGBTP for pedo. That’s next. They have tried to sneak it in by attempting to lower the age of consent. They also try to normalize it by saying it was acceptable in some other cultures such as ancient Greece.
So....in order to steel yourself so you can stick your willy in another man’s hairy poop chute you have to drug yourself with meth and Viagra. You’d almost have to conclude that it ain’t natural.
I’m old enough to remember when meth was the drug of choice of rural white America, and the media didn’t give a crap.
My usual response: Awe, that’s so sad. Hey what’s for supper?
Bingo! Exactly. Once HIV drugs started to eradicate “the symptoms” they now feel free to ramp up ass sex again. And now to look sexy, they are becoming meth heads. Sorry but if your gay, you need to repent to Jesus. For some reason, that’s never an option if your gay. Guess they are to busy rebelling against God and destroying Christians. I’ll pray for you, but you are right, the sympathy train is over.
As mom would say, “The pretty boys are just different”. This is just a long series of bad choices. Starting at pre pubescent and continuing. This decadent life style takes years to develop and is a downward spiral.
Well many gays and lesbians are sexually abused by an older homosexual and this starts them down a wrong path, it messes up their sexual identities. Many gays have their stories about the first times, and they are basically rapes/sex assaults by an older homo or lesbian.
“THEY are ashamed of THEMSELVES. That’s why they hide it...until they’re so twisted and far down the road that heir shame dies...”
In the OP, the author puts it this way: “...many gay men still struggle with discrimination, violence and our own internalized homophobia”
Our own internalized homophobia, he says. What is that but knowledge that they are doing what they hadn’t ought to do?
Meth is really nasty stuff. Not that I think it needs a big government solution, but I do feel bad for these people.
No pun intended?
Meth is very addictive....changes viewpoints. Practically speaking...ya got hedonistic...compulsive homosexual sex addicts on a mind altering substance. What could go wrong? Live by the sword...you die by the sword. Very sad to watch whole groups of people just killing themselves while their lifestyle is tolerated and even celebrated.
If more homosexual men are dying from using meth, it’s because of the homosexual culture, which encourages drug use.
NEWS FLASH: the gay community has no self control NEWS FLASH: the gay commu......
There you have it: To truly enjoy anal sex you must be totally fried. I don’t doubt it. Yuk!
CHOICE is GOOD!
Leave folks alone!!
