Thread Name: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
Subject: RE: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
Steve....I dont honestly think that "education" or additional information is the answer to this issue.
I think male to male sex is the problem...it does seem to carry with it a need to participate in extremely risky sexual activity.
To be blunt, sex seems desperately important amonst young MSM without the stabilising effect of children, especially children created by a traditional heterosexual couple; and the family structure which is built up therebye.

Gay marriage is really a bit of a red herring, a cause celebre for "liberals" with too much time on there hands. The only reason it has any prominence is through the support of the arts and entertainment media, which controls how many of our younger populace think...or fail to think.
Also, control of important information, like the figures we are posting, gives the appearance of all being well in the community of MSM....I repeat, very few people are even aware of the desperate situation, thinking that as overall hiv figures are falling, they are also falling in the MSM demographic.
The exact opposite is the case and instead of promulgating the cosy notion that "all is well", "leave them alone", "Lurve conquers everything", we should be making serious attempts to irradicate a disease which has now become an epidemic within male homosexuality.

A degree of compulsion is required if the life sentence passed on these thousands of young men is to be rescinded.

"liberals" would be better to concentrate on the quality of life which can be achieved for homosexuals, rather than loading their shoulders with "rights" which simply ensure that the unbelievably cruel status quo continues to oblivion.
