YOUR SEXUALITY

[HairOfTheDog]

AIDS human beginnings may have been in the gay community but it is not at root a gay disease. It is at root a monkey eating/fucking disease.

To call AIDS a gay disease in 2014 is pure self delusion. It is a sexually transmitted disease that is rife among heterosexuals in many parts of the world.

To say “if it wasn't for promiscuous queers none of this would have happened” is bullshit.

Not one person in this thread characterized AIDS as a "gay disease". Not one.

In the course of discussing homophobia, Maggot said there was a lot of fear when the AIDS epidemic hit the scene in the 80s. True.

You brought the term "gay disease" into the equation in pointing out that the disease affects other segments of the population as well. True.

sally acknowledged that it affects other segments of the population and groups that have unprotected sex are at greater risk than those who don't and the male gay community, predominantly, was the hardest hit and is where the disease spread rapidly. True.

Aussie latched on to your statement about it not being a "gay disease" and went on about how drug users and sexually promiscuous people of all races and orientations are most likely to spread the disease; which no one had disputed, and she implied that acknowledging or discussing homosexuality's role in the proliferation of the epidemic was somehow wrong or stupid or whatever. Then she asked for scientific data and facts and got them, scientific data showing that homosexual men still account for the majority of those newly affected by the disease in some regions - as of a couple of years ago - with African American males being the largest subgroup of the newly infected in the US; scientific data released by Unicef, WHO, and UNAIDS.

So, yeah, it's bullshit for anyone to claim that AIDS is only a "gay disease" or that it wouldn't exist were it not for homosexuality, in 2014. No one here said such a thing, but I don't doubt that there are some people in every region around the world who still think that way. And, no one here addressed or claimed to know the root of the disease in this thread before your post above, so I'll leave it with the monkeys.
