[Alas Babylon!]

How can anybody say that smokers, drug abusers and heavy drinkers should pay higher premiums but not homosexuals who engage in unprotected anal sex with strangers?

I know it sounds horribly vulgar, but that is the particular behavior we're talking about.

It is particularly dangerous given AIDS and other venereal diseases.

It’s ridiculous, but homosexuals are a protected species for some reason.

Hey, there's a cultural thread among the packers who are proud to have "the bug" and consider it a status symbol. We are supposed to just shut up and subsidize them?

We should be especially offended by this arrogant display of entitlement, and oppose it.
