I'm fairly tired of all the "those homos are suffering, so let's punish them more" weird backwards logic. As someone else so put it, It's like
purposefully running someone down with a car and then claiming that the streets are too dangerous to walk on. As for the blood policy, I think they
should be talking about behaviours (anal sex, promiscuity, etc) not relative gender.
A previous little list I made:
1) Half of homosexuals, lesbians, have even better rates than their hetero counterparts … so MORE healthy / moral?
2) Promescuity, not gender, is the problem … and trying to discourage or even criminalise open/public commitment / responsibility, not to mention
push sex underground, doesn’t help anyone (hint: including homosexuals). People deamonize what gay kids need most, stable gay couples for role
models, and then try and wipe their hands clean when any dream or expectation of settling down doesnt exist in them as adults.
3) Straight women have sex with guy(s) as well. If a male does the same thing and gets an STD, and you blame it on homosexuality and not promiscuity,
then what of the straight “black women” ‘lifestyle’ of various urban and other areas? Some of the statistics are just as bad or worse … but
somehow I doubt your going to put the blame on race or gender relative to their orientation towards men (and rightfully so, of course … the error is
in people making that same absurd leap with gay men, or even lesbians).
4) A monogamous gay couple has no worse STD risk than a monogamous straight couple. It’s obvious, but people still don’t seem to grasp
it.
