Goofus.

Thank you.

That believe it or not is the impartial factor that needs no sides in this debate in order to influence it.

The figures show that whilst the historical incidence and physical risk of HIV puts gay relationships at a high risk, the uptake in both safe sex and participating in screening makes gay people this side of the pond the most responsible and publicly spirited at risk group. I hear of similar screening experience your side of the pond.

Hence the real concern for all groups is lost in the noise of homophobic shouting for ways to persecute people for being "queer." It is still a stain on society that we used to stigmatise and even criminalise people for an alternative take on love and relationships. We see the outcome of pushing natural urges underground with insisting catholic priests remain celibate with disastrous results.

My sharp vitriol at callous fools is not just in order to shout at people, there are good reasons for responsible society to abhor criminal bigotry.
