Foolish statement re stats on new aids cases. The number of aids cases in straights versus gays is meaningless given that there are 95 straight people per gay so if 1% of straights gets aids the number is huge even compared to 50% of gays. You are using stats to perpetuate a lie,,that straight people are equally at risk of aids. That is a clear political try to make Aids "our disease" rather than what it is,,a plague among gays and IV drug abusers with a few straight people caught in the crossfire from other reasons. Your reasoning won't work here.

If you think there are only 5% of the population that would be considered gay...then you are just not living in reality :)
I will let you believe that though...if it helps brighten your day :)
Heh...
The comment does stand...more straight people are getting and spreading these diseases than gay people.
