Under UK law it is a criminal offence to knowingly pass on communicable diseases. Has been for a long time. Having unprotected sex when you know you are HIV + is already a criminal offence. Many people have been convicted over the years. So that part of your argument is as badly researched as it is respectable.

Registering yourself as being gay is a good idea. If you happen to be angry at war reparations and a ridiculous Austrian has found a way of ridding society of its ills.

So.... This hate of gay people. Bad experience? People are born innocent apparently and dubious parts of their makeup can normally be attributed to trauma.

This is an interesting link regarding our perceptions of what % of the population is homosexual:

Great question!...Because the wannabe political jerks, are using them, and over-hyping the significance, and building their case on bad science.
That's the short answer..but the truthful one.
It's not genetic, but behavioral...but the wannabes will argue till they're blue in the face otherwise.
It is a breakdown of the nuclear fabric of society, which they promote, and frankly, a tempest in a teapot, which they exaggerate to no end. Maybe it's a way of showing off how 'liberally minded' and 'hip' they are..but really, who cares?
If we get too far into it, another thread will be screwed up with our local defender of homosexuality, to excuse his irresponsible behavior, in his younger and reckless days.....and I'm hoping we don't go there, AGAIN!!..(so I won't name names) being as this thread is about 'Reinforcing respectful 'boundaries'.
BTW, Akenaton, for a long time has posted stats, and many from the CDC, only to be shouted down, and called exaggerated names, blasting his character...none of which has been true...and it's from the usual moronic ideologues, who promote sexual permissiveness, wishing to resurrect racial baiting, want higher taxes, limited freedoms, on a crusade to eradicate any mention of anything resembling 'God' OR Spiritual, and favor a massive big brother/nanny-state government, hate anything to do with Israel, (which ironically is more tolerant of homosexuals than their counterparts in the Mid-East), and more than often, are so contradictory, it's staggering to the imagination that they can even wake up and dress themselves.
What I think it really is, is that a lot of the present political movements originated in the backlash to the industrial revolution, so that is their point of reference...and they are trying to belatedly apply it to today, is in a backlash to the technological revolution...and they're absolutely lost!...so they scream, piss and moan about anything traditional, and do more screaming, pissing and moaning, accusing anyone who doesn't go along with their semi-literate diatribes, as being some sort of hater, bigot, homophobic, misogynists...or whatever their frustrations can't wrap their brains around!....

Oh well, I'll stop now, trying to keep in mind that this thread is about, 'Reinforcing respectful 'boundaries'.

Now watch, all the frothing, foaming, blatherers, will fill up cyberspace with their histrionics!
Go for it!!

The figure may have been published. The figures in the plural are also published together with the success through intervention figures that GU services should be proud of. Clamydia remains a national issue amongst younger people and HIV still has a hot spot in certain wards of some inner cities that are a concern but as HPA states, stigmatisation leads to cluster communities.

Interesting that a hateful disgusting lowlife can look on a website but not read what it says.   I have no issue with that. My issue is his insistence on perpetuating the problem by continually stigmatising a section of society on the basis he either doesn't like the idea of being fucked in his arse or didn't enjoy it at the time. Difficult to see which but the result is the same. A dangerous viewpoint that would if shared by others drive a section of the community further away from integration and increase the health issues which can if not practiced safely transmit one of many STDs.

Pink News the other week reported, according to HSJ that a poll of readers showed over 50% were celibate and of the rest, safe sex was practiced by all those responding. Not a universal study granted, but just that alone makes sweeping statements over all gay people for health reasons disingenuous.

In the meantime, unprotected sex by teenagers causing Clamydia is on the rise.   Luckily I suppose, anybody with an interest in public health knows the target. Those with an agenda pick their targets and therefore do not influence those responsible for tackling the issues.   

I have tried to point out issues to Akenaton. He is a lying disgusting piece of filth and is incapable of debate. What price respectful boundaries now?

GfS - I am pretty sure you got the wrong idea about the question from SJL. Let me backtrack.

Story - US Adults, in the main, vastly over estimate the gay population.

Question was - Now, why do you think we overestimate like that?

You then go off on one about 'them' promoting the breakdown of society and wanting to be seen as liberal.

I am pretty sure that your rant does NOT answer SJL's question although I am sure she will comment for herself (Sorry if I got the gender wrong, SJL) The overestimation of this portion of society is, more than likely, brought on by politicians and media wanting to demonise gays. The exact opposite of what you say. If they wanted to promote the gay lifestyle and show that it was acceptable then, surely, they would present the REAL figures which show that the percentage of gay people is so small that it could never be a threat to the 'nuclear family' or 'fabric of society'.

Now, I don't know if you misread the question, misread the article or just wanted to have a go at someone on here. I suspect the latter but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Now, do you really believe that alternate sexualities are such a threat or are you just making noise?

Because the thought that his (Muskrat's) whole premise is biased on a political ideology, rather than FACTS, and his alter-ego is attached to it, he needs to project onto others, his brain-lock.
Akenaton's figures are not his own...he didn't make them up, so rather than admit that Ake might have a salient point, he is instead painted by the political ideologues as being a bigot or hater. It's a hat trick from the 'so-called liberal's' playbook.

In respect to reality, homosexuality depends not solely on whom a person wants 'to spend more time with', but rather, if a person is having sex with the same gender person, and that includes pedophilia, with the same sex, as well.

2. Akenaton is lying and his figures are from his head. He grabs a figure from statistics and twists it to suit his agenda. And his agenda is not for decent society.

Your post above by the way is as bad. Homosexuality describes choice. Your post above precludes you from being taken seriously.

Why are they affected by such huge rates of sexual disease?
Is it because they are extremely promiscuous? If so have you ever wondered why they are so much more promiscuous than hetero's?

Do you think that there is something intrinsic to male homosexuality, that makes their behaviour so much more risky and unhealthy?

Do you think they should be given help with their problem.....or left to rot in a La La land of inclusion and outreach?

"Homosexuals and the "homosexual lifestyle" are hugely over-represented in the entertainment media....." ake

I have a theory (in support of which I have neither fact nor research. lol) that may account for that phenomenon.

As it happens, I am straight. However I have a number of gay friends, of both sexes. In my experience, gay people tend to be introspective and bright and talented far beyond the general population, imo. My gay friends are articulate and aware and insightful; as I said, they tend to be introspective and pretty much know what is going on inside and around them.

Have I mentioned talented? Just about every gay person I know - and everyone of my gay friends is talented in more than one field. They paint, they play music, they write.

See where I'm going with this? I don't find it surprising that the gay population is heavily represented in the arts, and that includes the movies.

Presumably many have given up on this thread. That's a pity because challenging those who wish tiers of society need to know they don't go down well with respectable people. We seriously have a proposal here to force gay people to register and be forced to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. The other 92% of such infections and sources appear to be of no concern to bigots. Probably to do with ideology and agenda.

Now you have set off a train of thought, Musket. How about compulsory testing for religious people? There is a survey, I think it was in the same publication that others have quoted, that stated that those with blind faith were more likely to have life threatening mental illnesses than anyone else. What is more, they are contagious and they try, purposely, to contaminate everyone else! If we force them to be tested, say once a week, maybe on a Friday, Saturday or a Sunday, to see if they still have that blind faith we can make sure that they are kept away from respectable folk!

Sorted!

Interesting how "the usual suspects" can't seem to leave this topic alone. Obsession, perhaps?

Attitudes serving a defensive function, helping the [homophobic] individual to reduce painful emotions and feelings (e.g., anxiety) that are triggered by gay people or homosexuality. These feelings may occur for a variety of reasons, possibly including the person's own psychological conflicts related to sexuality or gender. The defensive process occurs largely outside of the individual's awareness.

I think you are probably right in your theory Ebbie, and there is no doubt that they are over -represented....some are very talented, but some play on the stereotype.
A large percentage of our young folk take a lead from what they see on TV and that includes the pantomime homosexual.
All is a distraction from the serious matter at the core of male to male sex.....some of the most talented performers ....like Freddy Mercury,Elton John, for example, led the most hedonistic lifestyles.

Dave...You were quite annoyed when I misread your post and assumed that I thought you to be without a social conscience.

How do you expect me to say nothing in reply to the disgraceful insults dealt out by Ian, when his threadbare argument developes holes
I just borrow Ebbies "stiletto" occasionally. Or a little of Mr McGraths wit?

Only disgraceful insults?

I must try a little harder. I am only trying hard to vilify one twisted old bigot. You manage to pour scorn over 5% of the population and upset the sensibility of all decent people.

Not in your league.

Ebbie: " "Homosexuals and the "homosexual lifestyle" are hugely over-represented in the entertainment media....." "ake

I have a theory (in support of which I have neither fact nor research. lol) that may account for that phenomenon"

Here Ebbie and others...who seem to gloss over a link posted by 'SJL'.

Just in case you gloosed over it...or IGNORED it, for IGNORANCE sake!

Ah, lies, damn lies and statistics. HIV infection rates have been steady for over ten years. But that bald figure doesn't tell the story. There has been a far greater uptake of voluntary screening in that time, coupled with major advances in testing. So the apparent steadying of the infection rate could actually mean that true infection rates have declined. *Sigh.*

GfS- 14 Aug 13 - 01:41 AM- A brilliant analysis- I would also factor in the role of the media and entertainment industry, along with the politicians, to explain this phenomenon of perception.
(Dave, your logic is skewed. They ARE hyping it and that is what accounts for our inflated perception of their numbers).

Don't forget that the 5% is overrepresented in the entertainment industry compared with the general population and that plays into the hype as well, making what is a fairly unorthodox lifestyle seem ubiquitous and mainstream. It is being actively promoted to the population at large.

And when you see such a small percentage of the population exerting such a powerful sociopolitical influence, you realize that far from being a downtrodden minority, they are a special interest group with connections to the elite ($$$). Even when a majority votes down same sex marriage as in Proposition 8, it gets reversed by the courts. Somehow, it gets done.

GfS made another astute observation:

"a lot of the present political movements originated in the backlash to the industrial revolution, so that is their point of reference...and they are trying to belatedly apply it to today, is in a backlash to the technological revolution."

Modern feminism is a case in point. It is clearly a backlash of Victorianism which was the zenith of oppression for women. ..

Nobody gloosed over it moron. Why should anyone believe Brent Bozell?
Were you aware that's who CNS News is?
If you weren't you are sloppy.
If you were, you have just disproven your own constant protest that you are not a right wing tea potty shill.
Which is it?
