This is how hate organises and vies for credibility. Keith keeps repeating that I have not brought any data since the last published ones to the debate and thinks that is wrong?

He tries saying I am playing down the gay prevalence when I quoted the latest PHE data even before he did. I did say that the heads up preliminary figures for the final quarter of 2012, which in NHS Speke is actually the first three months of 2013 indicate that for the year, the gay sexually acquired statistics show a small drop which should put them just below rather than just above the 50% of all positive tests. Keith uses this to call me a liar who has a subjective opinion.

Interestingly, I don't have opinions on such matters. I wouldn't be of use to anyone if I applied a prejudice to my deliberations. In any event, sexual health is a very small part of what I involve myself in. Although when a doctor working in sexual health contributed to the debate, he got the same snide comments and dismissal as I did.

No. Keith uses the word subjective. In his direction I use the word bigoted. His cherry picking of the HIV picture is almost as bad as the disgusting fool behind Akenaton, who thinks we are all as thick as him when he uses figures for one country to suggest criminalising lifestyle in another.

His latest hate, saying that gay people get together for sex rather than love is all you need to read. The best way to see his evil intent is to do no more than repeat his own words. Disgraceful.

Luckily, society has moved on. I am rather proud of living in a country where another social barrier has come tumbling down. Just got ethnicity, disability and socio economic barriers to address now.

Did you know there are more openly gay conservative MPs in the house than all the other parties put together? Another sign that bigotry is dying. The death rattles seem to be a bit loud, that's all.
