Perhaps this wouldn't be a problem if we didn't have so many positive gay role models.

Baloney! Aids has been a problem for years - are you dense? A role model does not cause Aids.

Every person knows about Aids by now. Whether there are gays in the public eye or not does not change a thing.

Looking for someone to blame are you?

Every person knows about Aids by now.

Especially gays. Yet they continue to spread it. And the rest of us continue to pay to clean up after them.

Who is responsible for this modern-day plague? Gays. No need to get snippy about it. The truth stands on its own.

A role model does not cause Aids.

A straw man is easier to knock down, isn't it.

From Will Bishop-elect Robinson and his male lover be tested for HIV-AIDS?:

In our effort to remove the stigma of having AIDS, have we created a culture of disease? We all see the ads for HIV drugs. They illustrate hot muscular men living life to the fullest thanks to modern science. Other ads show couples holding hands, sending the message that the road to true love and happiness is being HIV positive.

Positive role models have to accept some of the blame for the current situation.

I believe it is impossible to present a "positive immage" to a lifestyle that most consider to be an unnatural perversion --- whose practitioners flaunt their obsession with perverted and uncontrolled sex, and demand that we consider them as "normal"..

They are not - and I wiil not consider them normal...

Nor, will I become concerned about their AIDS related death rate until they show some alarm and responsibility for it themselves -- and behave accordingly.. I think we already focus too much attention and tax dollars on AIDS, with a resulting negative impact on illnesses that kill far more INNOCENT citizens.

The ONLY Aids victims deserving of sympathy - are those infected innocently or by actions by others....

Aids is the ultimate proof that IRRESPONSIBLE actions have deadly consequences. Semper Fi
