HIV AND ALL GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

Social and stctural issu—such as HIV stigma, homophobia, discrimatn, poverty, and limed accs to high-qualy health re—fluence health out and ntue to drive equi. They claimed that should not be associated wh homosexualy any way, shape or form bee this allegedly led to the “stigmatizg and spegoatg” of homosexuals.

IS AIDS A “GAY” DISEASE?

But as evince piled up, the allegatn that homosexualy and HIV/AIDS were unrelated was no longer fensible, and those who nied the nnectn were creasgly perceived as disnnected om realy. However, Amerin urts have thlsly med the Constutn to illicly expand the right to privacy to clu abortn, fantici, thanasia, pornography ― and now, ersatz homosexual “marriage. Organized “gays” have blocked blood screeng for HIV, fought the closg of homosexual bathho, advoted for the legalizatn of both male and female prostutn, shut down ntact tracg and sexual partner notifitn, opposed crimalizg the liberate fectn of another person wh HIV-AIDS, and promoted the e of ndoms, which have a six to eight percent failure rate.

To show how out of touch the mastream media is wh realy, Newsweek Magaze, which has featured AIDS on s ver no fewer than twenty tim, laid the blame for the AIDS epimic at the feet of “homophobia and relig lears steeped moralistic doctre who have supprsed hont nversatn about how to stop . In perhaps the most extreme statement of self-excal, Harry Hay, founr of the first homophile anizatn the Uned Stat (the Mattache Society), acced nservativ of velopg and spreadg the AIDS vis. All of this shows the power of the homosexual lobby as greedily gobbl up every penny n get s hands on for s very small percentage of the populatn, thereby privg lns of others of badly-need assistance.

AIDS: STILL A GAY DISEASE AMERI

But still AIDS fundg climbs relentlsly, bee lawmakers know that if they vote agast any crease, the homophil will stantly brand them as “hate-filled bigots” and “homophob. [4] Acrdg to the Natnal Gay Task Force, screeng donated blood for HIV is “spegoatg” and “stigmatizg” [Journal of the Amerin Medil Associatn, Febary 4, 1983; New Dimensns Magaze, March 1990].
