Setting aside questions of Biblical morality, O'Reilly seems blind to the detrimental effects of the gay lifestyle - the severe health hazards that accompany homosexual activity, the high incidence of drug and alcohol abuse, and the dramatically shorter life span of homosexuals as compared to heterosexuals. Without massive and expensive interventions of modern medical technology, the "gay" lifestyle would quickly extinguish itself through self-destruction. As for the issue of protecting civil rights, it seems to me that it is gays who threaten the rights of others (Boy Scouts, etc.) as much as the opposite. The Scouts only want to run their own organization, but gays want to tell the Scouts what to do. Show me a gay activist, and I'll show you a fascist.

O'Reilly seems blind to the detrimental effects of the gay lifestyle

CBS News | AIDS: Deadly Ignorance | July 8, 2002 23:22:37

BARCELONA, Spain, July 8, 2002
(AP) A study of young gay and bisexual men in major U.S. cities found that more than three-quarters of those infected with HIV - including 91 percent of blacks - were unaware they had the AIDS virus.

The finding, presented Monday during the first day of scientific sessions at the 14th International AIDS Conference, is a worrying sign that the epidemic could be in danger of accelerating again in the United States.

The study indicated that ignorance of infection among HIV positive gay and bisexual men was twice as common as previous estimates, which were based on HIV tests results of people entering the military or jobs that require screening.

The survey, conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "helps explain, at least in part, why many young gay and bisexual men in the United States are becoming infected," said Duncan MacKellar, who led the study.

Researchers surveyed 5,719 men aged 15 to 29 at dance clubs, bars, health clubs and street locations in Baltimore, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Seattle from 1994 to 2000.

Of the 573 who tested HIV positive, 440 - or 77 percent - had not known they were infected with the virus. Around half of those men hadn't been tested in the past year and half were having anal sex without condoms, said MacKellar.

Another CDC study presented at the conference, which examined anonymous blood samples of 40,000 high-risk patients of all ages, found that the rate of new infections for gay and bisexual men was nine times higher than for women and heterosexual men.

Other CDC research linked psychosocial health problems such as depression and drug abuse to higher HIV infection rates and large age gaps within homosexual couples to a higher propensity to engage in risky sexual behavior.

An excellent,concise and cogent analysis of the reality of homosexuality.

Not one unbiased person with an IQ over room temperature could fail to understand the significance, seriousness and imminent societal suicide built into the current "politically correct" cultural response to the issue of homosexuality.

You should send it to Fox News and to Mr. O'Reilly with a cover that says,"you will not be able to refute this so for the sake of America,deal with it,we will be looking forward to the program."
