This is an outrage! Gay men are only 400 times more likely to carry the AIDS virus!

Statistically, more heterosexual women in Connecticut have AIDS than do gay men, he said.

That's because homosexuality is such a rare abnormality in the human population. The rates are much higher among gay men, and this is a terrible (potentially deadly!) misuse of statistics by this no-morals activist.

Of course there are more heterosexual women with it, since there are so many more of them than homosexual men, but it's the rate of infection that's the relevant fact ...since it's only the individual looking to donate being asked this question, not a lottery across the whole state.

This activist is a menace to the public health.
