Akenaton: "Dave, my views on male homosexual health rates are based on official figures, not on an irrational hatred of homosexuals.
How can that be stereotyping, unless you think the health agencies are guilty also?
So you think, that the transmission rates are not caused by promiscuity, well what is the REAL cause?"

The real cause doesn't matter to ideologues. Given the choices of hard data, verses a political agenda, the ideologues, both sides, will favor their agendas, and toss the hard data out the window....and then try to crucify any attempt to bring hard data, or real science to the table. They turn their 'issues' into emotionally based attacks.
It is IGNORANCE(as in 'ignoring' the truth) of the highest order, and pandering to people's FEELINGS. It serves NO ONE....except the wannabe activists bullshit egos!
The facts ARE the FACTS...the rest of the nonsense is just nonsense. The numbers don't lie....they are not emotional!
