explain the details man. C'mon.....you've put so much thought into the ethical theory behind
Last attempt: T If the answer is no then everyone should just shut up...hetero is okay, cousins are okay, polygamy is okay, bi is okay; gay is okay, 13-year olds are okay, and one or one-hundred-at-a-time are okay, et. al. However, if a society decides that certain rules about who does whom when and where is functional and perhaps even necessary, all that is left is to decide is Van & Katherine Jenerette
Bug chasing isn't exactly a huge movement. What would you have said BEFORE the almost completely trashed Rolling Stone article?
Bug chasing may not be huge but it surely shows some homosexuals are just that much more confused. They are so caught up in their sexual behavior they appear to be mentally unstable.
You mean, that you know of.
I find it quite bizarre as well that anyone would seek out such a disease.
"The Rolling Stone article was probably wrong on the 25% figure but not the fact that some homosexuals chase after a deadly disease."
Not probably. Definitely wrong, even as a ballpark figure.
"Bug chasing may not be huge but it surely shows some homosexuals are just that much more confused."
Well, I have to half agree with you. I think anyone who attempts to contract such a thing is delusional.
"They are so caught up in their sexual behavior they appear to be mentally unstable."
Well keeping in mind that this only applies to a small number of gays, I think the question is why they seek it. I haven't seen the documentary, but I suspect it has something to do with the politicization of AIDS since it is mainly known as a "gay disease".
Not every report I've read states the 25% figure is definitely wrong, but probably wrong, which is why I used it that way.
From the article:
"And that's the whole intent, especially for gay men, because they don't discuss it at all," Hogarth says. "The HIV rates in this country are way up. It's way up in the black community. It's a waiting avalanche that's waiting to come down. A lot of people don't test anymore, so you need for them to get sick [for the infection to be discovered], which takes about 10 years. And that's not the truth. We have to start telling the truth. And that would be the best thing that could come of [the documentary]--that people would start talking again and become aware of the risk."
And that's why I want GLSEN and other groups out of the schools. Not even the gay community is talking about the severe health hazards of the gay lifestyle, yet we have GLSEN in the schools and gay groups saying it's okay to be gay without a single reference to the severe health hazards.
No I don't, but until extremely recently we didn't know of any reports saying that gay men chased HIV. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
"Not every report I've read states the 25% figure is definitely wrong, but probably wrong, which is why I used it that way."
Ok, well my anecdotal experience is telling me that 25% is completely out of the park. That article makes Jayson Blair look like a credible journalist.
"And that's why I want GLSEN and other groups out of the schools."
You want them out of the schools for not telling people that promiscuous, unprotected sex is dangerous? That's true for everyone.
"Not even the gay community is talking about the severe health hazards of the gay lifestyle"
You mean, the severe health hazards of promiscuous, unprotected sex.
"have GLSEN in the schools"
First of all, show where GLSEN is "in the schools".
And you won't find any mentally stable person chasing after a deadly disease.
Ok, well my anecdotal experience is telling me that 25% is completely out of the park.
You're probably right. The 25% figure is probably wrong, but the main story line of the Rolling Stones article and the Acting Up article is that there are some homosexuals chasing after a deadly disease. The film documents this tragedy.
We don't have heterosexual groups in the schools telling kids to try dangerous sex acts or that it's okay to try dangerous sex acts without discussing the severe health hazards. We don't have heterosexual pride parades. Heterosexuals don't base their identity on their sexual behavior.
AIDS is a gay disease, and one of the goals of the film is to get the gay community, and perhaps others, talking about it.
You're being intellectually dishonest here. GLSEN is definitely in the schools and you know it. Did you even try looking at the GLSEN site? Click here for a Google search, if you dare.
creating safe schools for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender peopleBut no, they're not in the schools. </sarcasm>
GLSEN Encourages Teens In Anal SEX "Don't give up."
That goes without saying.
"We don't have heterosexual groups in the schools telling kids to try dangerous sex acts or that it's okay to try dangerous sex acts without discussing the severe health hazards."
I had sex ed not THAT long ago, in hyper liberal NJ. It was hardly a homosexual indoctrination effort. In fact, they mentioned that some people were homosexual... and that was IT.
"We don't have heterosexual pride parades."
Of course not. Heterosexuals don't have a history of being discriminated against.
"Heterosexuals don't base their identity on their sexual behavior."
Why would they? They are the majority. Still, people who base their ENTIRE identity on anything are boring. Most gay people don't do that.
What exactly are you including to mean "IN" a school?
Those pushing the gay agenda base their identity on their sexual behavior. That's really sad. And I want it out of the schools.
What part are you objecting to? Safe?
Anyway, READ the site... GLSEN itself is not involved with schools. They have recommendations on reading material and information about how students can start gay/straight alliances.
How does that make them part of any particular school?
I just was made aware of this thread via:

I generally don't post to old threads, but I'll make an exception here, to place something in the record:
Anyone who thinks GLSEN is benign can put "fistgate" in a search and have their eyes opened.
