5% - 7% of the males account for 71% of all HIV infections in the U.S.? I'd say that anyone who wanted to make a case that the homosexual lifestyle is associated with AIDS has a good and valid point.
Men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for 71% of all HIV infections among male adults and adolescents in 2005.

Note that, despite what the Learned Moderator would have us believe, the statistics do not speak of 'all HIV infections in the US' but 'all HIV infections among males in the US'.
('men who have sex with men' is just a PC way of saying 'male homosexuals').

I think you are wrong. EVERY child deserves a home
Finally, he could not do it, got a divorce, was caring for his kids, when the mother went off the deep end.
Should those children have had to live in squalor and filth, because their father is gay? Should they have to go into foster care, and possibly be abused physically, mentally, emotionally, or sexually, because their father is gay, and gay people should not be allowed to raise children??
And do you know what children most gay people are adopting?
They are adopting the children that no one wants, because the children are physically, or mentally disabled, OR the are black.
Yes, black.
It DISGUSTS me that there are white couple going out of their way to adopt Asia, European, and Latin children form other countries, and there are children here that need homes too.. but they are the wrong color..
And that just as there are agencies to facilitate the adoption of these foreign children, there are agencies that find homes for black AMERICAN children in other countries.. Because NO ONE here wants them.
who are you talking aobut how about a list of people or some interviews you can post here
But there are gay people willing to open their homes to HIV positive black children, raise them, love them support them, and there are people who DARE to say you cannot have this child??
WHAT??
It is not sexuality that makes someone a fit parent. It is the capacity to love, care, and sacrifice for a tender precious life, and mold them into productive citizens who contribute to society.
That is what my god children are going to be, thanks to their GAY father, and his boyfriend.
Left with their straight mother, I anticipate that they would become less than productive members of society..
But all of this is besides the point.
I said it before, I think that the ad way in poor taste, but the point was that people are BORN gay. They are not made gay.

That should have been "5% - 7% of the males account for 71% of all HIV male infections in the U.S.?" I didn't mean to imply that this included females too. I was speaking only of the male population. I can see how you misunderstood my point. Even with that note, it's still a wake-up call that such a small group accounts for nearly 70% of the HIV infections in males. My point is still valid.

Read also what it says carefully. It says men who have sex with men. It does NOT say homosexual men...
My point being: This statement is a little erroneous.
('men who have sex with men' is just a PC way of saying 'male homosexuals').
BTW, Dbates. Your argument doesn't still stand.
yeah but take a look at who is really responsible for that it not the mother he chose to have kids
who are you talking about how about a list of people or some interviews you can post here
But there are gay people willing to open their homes to HIV positive black children, raise them, love them support them, and there are people who DARE to say you cannot have this child??
WHAT??
i'm playing psychiatrist with this one: interesting choice of names
It is a fundamental RIGHT of EVERY child to have adults who love them, and it doesn't matter if their parents are Adam and Steve or Stacy and Eve.
on that i agree al well
But all of this is besides the point.

Wow! This thread has slipped WAYYYY off track.
That being the case, I suppose I should throw my off topic opinion into the mix.
As far as homosexuality and it's being "natural", being that the act of sex is MEANT for reproduction, I would have to say that it is NOT natural. But, since we humans tend to make sex all about the pleasure, homosexuals have as much right to get it how they want it as any of the rest of us do.

How about just keeping your sexual lifestyle to yourself and not forcing it on other people.

I believe it's a hint on how people are supposed to be born gay/straight, and that it's caused by a chemical imbalance or something like that.
Which is utter b/s, if you ask me - i believe it's more down to how the child is raised than his nuero-chemistry.
