The statistics that giovanni is wrapping him or herself in have to include that more women become HIV positive than men.

Ignorance of AIDS and HIV was a huge issue for the gay community years ago in the same way that dirty instruments were an issue in surgery before we understood contamination. Doesn't mean surgery is an abomination to God or any other abstraction.

Said statistics include the shorter relationship time in gay partnerships than heterosexual ones. It would appear that lack of acceptance by society exacerbates fragile relationships.

So.. using statistics, and for once in the guise of a "lefty" whatever, will you and Akenaton please stop spreading AIDS?   It's your poisoning of society against a lifestyle that makes relationships less stable after all.....
