The truth is that any "risky activity" can be made far less risky given education. No-one is denying any of your statistics, though you do have a habit of doing that time-honoured thing of presenting the ones you imagine support your case. Let me shock you and tell you that I don't give a damn whether gay people are more promiscuous than anyone else. So what? Are you saying that promiscuity is immoral or something? If so, where's you line in the sand? How many people per annum can you shag, and how often, before, in your eyes, you qualify as "promiscuous"? It's just another of those tendentious terms innit, ake, like bubonic plague or incest, thrown into the mix. A means of tarring gay people. They are promiscuous. They act like incestuous people. They bring us gay epidemics.

So, whaddya think? Do you think that a well-funded programme of education, in schools and in the wider community, no vicars, no moralising, full of no-holds-barred practical advice on safe sex, would reduce the infection rates of those diseases you're so scared of? What are you frightened of? I've been blissfully wed for 36 years and I watch my kids grow up into brilliant adults, never thought I was ever even vaguely gay, but I'm not scared! Why are you? Don't you get out much?
