Ian and Steve have political positions and anything which runs contrary to these positions is deemed "unreasonable", "odious" or "contemptible"

This a double misrepresentation and is pretty childish as well.


Regarding the epidemic of sexually transmitted disease amongst male homosexuals, is it not "reasonable" to want that epidemic curtailed or stopped?

You are homophobic because you have made it some kind of mission of yours to single out homosexual men for your severe wannabe policies. You want to curtail epidemics, huh? Well where's your campaign to close down every McDonald's and pizza shop? To ban all processed convenience foods? To outlaw confectionery and sugary drinks? To force everyone to wash their hands after blowing their noses? To screen people for faecal bacteria on their hands as they emerge from public toilets? To ban alcoholic drinks? To make possession of tobacco illegal? To force everyone to take exercise? To punish obesity by law? Any one of those measures would have at least as great a benefit on public health as what you're proposing for gay men. The fact that you are obsessed by that one issue, which you claim to be your target for improving public health, can really only lead to one conclusion. It isn't really public health you're worried about at all. You just don't like gay people, do you?
