Explosion of Sexually Transmitted Infections In London's Gay Community
Brietbart ^ | 24th september 2014 | Andre Walker

Posted on 09/24/2014 12:01:46 PM PDT by Mount Athos

London's gay community is facing a sexual health crisis as a result of "worsening" awareness of the dangers of unsafe sex. Whilst gay and bisexual men represent less than 4 percent of London's population they are responsible for 84 percent of syphilis cases and 65 percent of gonorrhoea cases in the capital.

A new study from Public Health England (PHE), reported on by Pink News, suggested that around a quarter of all reported cases of sexually transmitted infections (STI) are diagnosed in gay men.

Diseases like gonorrhoea are not the only infections being reported in the gay community. The bacterial infection shigella flexneri – which causes diarrhoea – is common, as is lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV).

The report also warns of the dangers of "chemsex", the practise of taking drugs during a sexual encounter. Participants in chemsex are often less careful when it comes to using condoms, as they are high during sex sessions.

The drugs used in chemsex encounters include: crystal methamphetamine, GHB/GBL and mephedrone. The use of these drugs are much higher in the gay community than elsewhere in British life. All of these drugs are considered highly dangerous by doctors.

Dr Yvonne Doyle, regional director for PHE London said: "The worsening of sexual health of men who have sex with men is despite evidence that they are increasingly aware of and accessing services.

"High numbers of MSM are taking risks with their health by not using condoms consistently and as a result we are seeing rises in a whole range of STIs, including HIV."

It had been hoped that policies like same sex marriage would have encouraged the gay community to be less promiscuous. This report suggests that the impact of this policy has been very limited in sexual health terms.

My take, or opinion, regarding those who hanker for “marriage equality,” is that they cop out in calling aberrant behavior what it is, and do so out of fear. They do not want to invite scrutiny of their own pitfalls.

“You call me out on being homo? Oh yeah? Well look at your own life and get back to me when it’s perfect!” So it’s the old “I’m okay, you’re okay” fun ride into the delusion that we are not accountable both to a Creator and to one another.

Now, the Creator is well able and willing to overcome all these maladies, as easily as a camel can pass through the eye of a needle. After all, He has called all into being and sustains it to this very moment by His Word. So . . . if these aberrant snots are hired in at the last hour and I see them in the new creation, there will be absolutely no complaint on my part. “Please, O Lord, let them go in ahead of me. Save them by the same mercy you have given me in Christ.”

4% of London population is homosexual? Why so many, since it’s only 1.6% of USA population.

The Media continually hides the truth about the perverts so much that they
believe their own ignorance. Promiscuity is what Homo's are all about married or not.

Three-Five partners a day isn't unusual for the fanatical pedophile
homosexual deviants in society. There's a reason they were placed in
mental wards, and their buggering made illegal.

I am no language genius, but if one engages in this behavior, that makes them no longer a hetrosexual. They are bisexual or homosexual.

I don’t think it is hard-wired like that. You can be solely attracted to blondes but have a brunette now and again. The idea we are born with a sexual attraction is moronic.

in 1993 an Australian study of 14,000 self-identified gay men revealed:

50% of respondents had over 100 different partners

15% had over 1000 different partners

Well,for starters think "a passageway that routinely comes in contact with TP".

I never said anything about being hard wired or born with it. Only that one cannot participate in homosexual activities and call oneself a heterosexual.

It's always instructive to read "syntopically" on these subjects.

At the Pink News site, read all of the related headlines at the bottom of the article:

"London clinic provides ‘slamming kits’ for gay men using hardcore drugs"

"Comment: Why is drug use higher in the gay community?"

"Public Health England: 'Gay men disproportionately affected by ill-health'"

"Cases of Gonorrhoea up 26% for gay men in England"

I guess insanity feeds on itself.
