I'm not really sure if you've said much of anything, and that's the real issue with that.
I have said a lot and it has been clear to everyone but you. Maybe i should state more obvious thing like you who have provided such gems like "gay men get more AIDS because they have anal sex"
Dear Markosity1973, that wasn't what I meant at all. I mentioned those various ways of communicating to the public in order to explore possibilities for getting the marriage and monogamy issue before the public. Believe it or not, I was trying to assist in turning your hope for gay marriages and monogamy into a reality.
I get where you are coming from in terms of the fear of gay relationships taking over mainstream media.
You've also been shown that your suggestions are as illegal as they are asinine and shallow.

HOWEVER, you cannot accept donations for media + politics and then go spend it on science & medicine; it's illegal. I've said this three times now, and I'm really not sure why you have so much trouble understanding it.

Americans see nothing wrong with campaigns against excessive drinking, smoking, overeating, and not wearing seat belts. People are encouraged not to do things which lead to unhealthy outcomes. Bloomberg ordered a stop to the sale of large glasses of soda. But nobody has come up with a viable campaign, nation-wide and government endorsed, against unprotected homosexual sex.
I honestly think that's because of a reluctance to criticize any homosexual activity. I can't imagine a government saying, "Homosexual behavior is risky. It imposes a disproportionate strain on our health care system. It's an unhealthy life style." But the government will say that for overeating, alcoholism, drug abuse, smoking, etc.
Perhaps, and I'm just guessing, the idea is to try to persuade the public that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, and that it has equal health results to heterosexuality.

To quickly review, and I hope I'm getting it right, gays need to motivated to strive for stable marriage and monogamy. For various reasons, religious commands and social pressures won't supply the incentive. You're thinking about a campaign to make monogamy fashionable and romantic.

Charles, religious commands supplied enough incentive and social pressure to turn homosexual relations into what they were in the last thousand plus years i.e ... in the closet, on the down the low, and with permanence only being a fantasy.
That said, gay men (and probably heterosexuals) will likely always be in a more dangerous bracket than lesbians. It's just the hormonal nature of gender.
