The federal government spent $432,000 to study gay sex apps. I never knew that gay sex even required an app; I always thought two guys, a tub of vaseline, and a big bottle of tequila was all that was needed. But apparently:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent nearly a half a million dollars studying gay hookup apps such as Grindr. The government awarded $432,000 to Columbia University to interview gay men who use GPS dating apps and determine whether it increases their likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behavior.
Gay sex between men, by definition, is "risky sexual behavior." I apologize in advance for getting specific about it, but gay sex usually means anal sex between two (or more) men, which by far is the #1 way to catch AIDS. Because of the inherent disease factor of feces and ease of tearing of skin within the anus, anal sex is also a great way to catch hepatitis.
Men who engage in anal sex have an increased risk of contracting hepatitis C virus because fragile tissues of the anus are more likely to tear and bleed. There doesn’t have to be a lot of blood to pass on the HCV virus. Even microscopic tears in the skin that don’t appear to bleed can be enough for transmission.
If the government wants people to stop catching AIDS and spreading hepatitis, it has to persuade men to stop having anal sex with other men. Legalizing gay marriage, and teaching the joys of gay sex in schools, books, and movies, won't do it.
The project conducted interviews with 60 gay men who had used mobile apps to meet sexual partners

Can no one stop the madness???
They are scrubbing Obama’s name off all the sites.
Of course they had to actually use the apps to see which worked best
And to think the NIH could have used this money for something useful. Like say...CANCER
I REALLY HATE THIS GOVERNMENT!
If you want to study the mating habits of the limp wristed cockatoo do it with your own money, no one else gives a damn.
RE: Abstinence always works.
Ahh but Obamacare pays for contraceptives. Just ask Sandra Fluke.
RE: Can no one stop the madness???
LIBERAL LOGIC: It’s only $432,000, not even a drop in the bucket when you compare it to our TRILLION DOLLAR BUDGET. CHEAPSKATE !
Who writes these idiotic spending appropriation amendments into bills? And who is NOT making a stink about it.
This type of grant for “make-work” worthless “research” is nothing more that a pay-off to the liberal academic community for their support.
Elections have consequences.
