In Randy Shilts history of AIDS, And the Band Played On, he tells the story of an Air Canada steward named Gaëtan Dugas, who suffered from what Dugas called gay cancer and infected 40 people or more with HIV. He was, Shilts wrote, Patient Zero. Modal TriggerDugas, through his extensive travels and unrepentant, unprotected sex even after he was diagnosed, undoubtedly helped spread AIDS. But was he the man who brought the disease to America?
In the new book, The Chimp and the River: How AIDS Emerged from an African Rain Forest (W.W. Norton), author David Quammen says no.

I'm hepatophobic. Queer waiter? Can't stay, bye.
So, you're saying it was a dead chimp.
In 2011, in the United States, MSM accounted for 79% of 38,825 estimated HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 years and older, and 78% of infections among all newly infected men. .- http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/gender/msm/facts/index.html

In 2012 the U.S. fertility rate was 63.0. the lowest rate on record since the since the government started tracking the fertility rate in 1909. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr62/nvsr62_09.pdf
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.
Wait...Reagan caused the AIDS epidemic by not funding enough money to stop AIDS...
I have it on good authority from the libtard media, loony tunes progressives and the velvet mafia.../ S
“A gay friend died in Baltimore in 1975/6. He suffered from IDS for about 4 years. This was 5 or more years before AIDS was officially diagnosed in this population. Since then we have suspected he was an early undiagnosed case of AIDS.”
By my time in grad school in the late 70s, we were getting reports of the rapid increase in Kaposi’s sarcoma - the gay cancer - and a large increase in immunodeficient diseases, also in the gay population. These followed the pattern of disease transmission, but also might have been caused by something in a shared lifestyle. Some were even postulating that the immunodeficiency was being caused by an autoimmune reaction to semen.

It's likely that in addition to other theories, there was a homosexual-tourism to Haitia short flightwhere young Haitian boys were vulnerable to dollars.
"An international war of words broke out: U.S. newspapers suggested Haitians brought the disease to America and linked HIV to Haitian voodoo rituals. Haitians said homosexual American sex tourists brought AIDS to their country. The stigma was so severe that Haitians in the U.S. couldn't get work or sell their homes..."

That is what the Liberians are saying about their ebola plague. Bush’s fault.

And Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the first of his Tarzan books in 1912 -— close enough for me to worry about those nights Tarzan was away from he and Jane’s tree house. :))
Does it REALLY matter how now?
HOW will it END???
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
Things like this happen when you monkey around!
"Me Tarzan; you Jane" should have fixed the problem BEFORE it started!
