Hehe. Looks like someone doesn't understand what they are reading...

A campaign focussing on gay men is homophobic if not qualified as being proportionate nor in their interest. A health awareness campaign where gay men who use unprotected anal sex are part of the target group for awareness isn't homophobic. If there were a disease, disorder or condition that only affected gay men, then targetted awareness would be appropriate. Focussing on one group where everyone, including you and I could contract it, is stigmatising. Especially as gay men aren't at risk any more than men who read one newspaper more than another*. Only the few, like in any other lifestyle, prefer unprotected penetrative sex, especially promiscuously. I think that figure, which nobody knows, is not worth either the hate from bigots nor the sometimes unrealistic expectations of health pressure groups and charities. Your own cut &paste widens it to the at risk groups Seaham Cemetery refers to.

I know Keith. It is difficult at times eh?

Never mind. If everyone who attended my infrequent lectures defended me, I'd have to start telling the truth eh?




zzzzzzzzzz

*I did read once that more people who are HIV + read The Guardian, whilst those at most risk of CHD issues read The Sun. I stopped buying newspapers years ago.

Don't forget to read this quickly. Either my comments may disappear or Max's host may be asked to remove the whole thread.
