Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) make up 2 percent of the U.S. population but are the group most definitively affected by HIV, with 63 percent of those newly infected by HIV representing this group.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly “Morbidity and Mortality” report shows that among persons newly infected with HIV in 2010, 63 percent were men who have sex with other men. Among Americans living with HIV, 52 percent were MSM – and a significant number of men with HIV are not receiving treatment.
“Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2 percent of the United States population, yet are the risk group most affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),” reads the Sept. 26 CDC report. “Most gay and bisexual men acquire HIV through anal sex, which is the riskiest type of sex for getting or transmitting HIV.
“Having more sex partners compared to other men means gay and bisexual men have more opportunities to have sex with someone who can transmit HIV or another STD. Similarly, among gay men, those who have more partners are more likely to acquire HIV.”
Just one in two gay or bisexual men who have been diagnosed with HIV receives treatment for the virus, and only 42 percent had achieved viral suppression.

Bump.
Reason enough to ignore them, and refuse to give them any more “anything”, that is not already stated in the Constitution.
Well there goes the entertainment industry.

It’s 98% that make up the 48% vs. 2% making up the 52% - in other words, minuscule by comparison for all other behaviors across the board.
MSM is about as safe and logical as putting the gas pump into the exhaust pipe.

God created man and women uniquely compatible and complimentary, and they alone are joined by God in marriage, with opposite genders being specified by both Genesis and personally by Jesus Christ. (Gn. 2:18-24; Mt. 19:4)
The Bible only condemns homosexual relations - by design and decree, in principle and by precept - and never sanctions them wherever they are manifestly dealt with, and the injunctions against them are part of the transcendent and immutable moral law. (Lv. 18:22; Rm. 1:26,27)
However, some of the first Christians were likely former homosexuals, (1Cor. 6:9-11) and there is room at the cross for all who want the Lord Jesus over sin, and believe upon Him to save them who died for them, and rose again. And who thus are baptized and follow Him, to the glory of God.

A copy follows....
"Anna Salter reports that 38% of women were molested before the age of 18. 16% of men make the same claim. There’s also a claim that it’s 1 in 4 girls, 1 in 6 boys thrown around."
Thanks for getting back to me... I've never been accused of being a cleaver fellow but... using your figures it would seem that homos being, what, 5% of the population (roughly) leaving 95% being straight, and considering that 1 in 4 girls as compared to 1 in 6 boys being abused would mean that queers are, by FAR AND AWAY more likely to be child molesters then straight folk.... That is assuming boys on girls and boys on boys... Am I wrong..?? I had two grandmothers (born in the late 1800's) that were married at 14 years old.. Both married men in their mid 20's... Back in those days it was quite common... Nowadays you can get arrested for that sort of thing But, it goes without saying.... Boys on girls is the natural order of things.. whereas boy on boys is a perversion of nature..... Yes..??
Once again the fool takes the stick an whacks the hornets nest..!
If 2% were gay. That means for every 100 people, that 2 are gay.
That flies in the face of your “25 men” figure.
If 2% of the POPULATION are gay/bi MEN;
AND roughly 50% of the population are FEMALES;
Then 1 in 25 MEN are gay/bi.
I agree that the presentation of statistics in the article could be more clear.
Go to Craigslist and look at Casual Encounters. Don’t click on anything with a pic.
