Gay Rights vs. Common Sense

By: American Decency Staff

By Chris Johnson I wrote last week about some of the social arguments against “non-discriminationâ€Â laws. But there are not only many legal arguments against pushing homosexuality onto our culture, but there are perhaps even more medical reasons against the gay lifestyle. Why would a government which claims to seek to “save lives and protect peopleâ€Â through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) want to encourage behavior which keeps a deadly disease like HIV thriving?The CDC recently released a report which was based on HIV testing of 8,153 homosexual men. The findings revealed that 19% of the gays in the study were infected with HIV and of that number, 44% were unaware of their infection. A 2006 CDC study estimated that of the 56,000 new HIV cases just in that year, 53% were the results of homosexual activity. The other means of contraction were heterosexual relationships and sharing needles for the use of drugs, which, incidentally is also more frequent in the homosexual community A CDC official, Amy Lansky, estimated at an HIV prevention conference in 2009 that the incidence of AIDS in homosexuals was 50 times higher than in normal sexual relationships. Just to wrap that all up, 1 in 5 homosexual men currently have HIV, although almost half are unaware and thus not being treated. In 2006, over half of the new HIV cases were in homosexual men. Finally, the risk of contracting AIDS is 50 times higher in a homosexual relationship than in a heterosexual relationship. Thebody.com, which calls itself, “The Complete HIV/ AIDS Resourceâ€Â also reports that anal cancer is a very serious problem among homosexual men. 35 out of 100,000 gay men will develop anal cancer. The rate among straight men is 0.9 out of 100,000. Surely, an activity that is that deadly and destructive is frowned upon by our watchful government? Anyone who's even heard the word “newsâ€Â knows that's not true. From the court's overturning Proposition 8 to President Obama refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, from countless local ordinances like the one in Holland that was recently rejected to the removal of the “Don't Ask, Don't Tellâ€Â policy, government at every level is trying to force acceptance of this disease ridden lifestyle onto its remaining moral citizens. “But,â€Â the argument is, “you can't get in the way of love.â€Â Throughout the entertainment world, gay and lesbian characters are cast as smart, stylish, admirable members of society who are in faithful, loving relationships with their soul mate, who just happens to be the same sex as them. I know this is hard to believe,  but what you see on TV isn't necessarily true. There's a reason deadly sexually transmitted diseases thrive in the homosexual community. The Agape Press reported on a survey released by a homosexual newspaper, The Advocate, in 2006 which revealed that the 28% of the gay men surveyed had had between 51 and 300 sexual partners in their lifetime. Another study by University of Chicago professors and reported by the Baptist Press revealed that over 60% of gay men in Chicago had over 30 sexual partners, with many having over 60. 55% of gay men in Shoreland, which the story calls the “gay centerâ€Â of Chicago, have an STD. Yet another report said that the average homosexual relationship lasts 1.5 years and includes around 8 sexual partners outside of the main relationship. And that, in the words of Paul Harvey, is the rest of the story. ============================================= We encourage you to register for ADA’s summer event and join with us in this rare opportunity to hear from one of the premier voices in the pro-family movement.
