Do you know of any reports of heterosexuals chasing after any deadly diseases and who in their right mind would?

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".
