"his propagation of hate, suggestions of registering gay people, forcing testing and contact tracing, all for no reason at all, contravene the law."

Leaving aside the "hate" Ian.....you just can't help yourself I suppose,..... do you really think that the rates of STD infection in male homosexuals are "no reason at all?"

Your "liberal" answer to the problem has failed miserably. If the epidemic is to be curtailed something more radical needs to be attempted, even if that upsets your "sensibilities". You are unimportant in this context.
Although death rates are falling in association with aids cases, this is purely due to increased testing and contact tracing allowing the disease to be caught early.
Contraction of the disease still means a shortened lifetime of ill health and the unknown effects of huge doses of antivirals; plus the chance of infecting others if un-diagnosed

Don says,


"What has been said is that those of same-sex orientation who do not want counseling should not be forced or intimidated into undergoing treatment."

What has also been said, not by Don,.... is that anyone who says that homosexuality can be "cured" by therapy, is a vile bigoted monster, who should not be allowed a voice in civilised society.(guess who).
