					<description><![CDATA[&quot;is there something to the idea that gay leaders should be more vocal about promiscuity?â€



Well, Larry Kramer has spoken up about it since the 1980&#039;s. That was the first and easiest case to come to my mind.



But frankly, when it comes to &quot;gay leaders&quot;, I&#039;m not even sure who they would be. I struggle to even name them.  Sure, there&#039;s Matt Forman at NGLTF and Joe Solo-whatshisname at HRC, but that&#039;s like saying they have all the influence in the community of whoever&#039;s the head of NAACP.  And they probably do, which is to say, not much.



I certainly think the idea has merit. But as it stand right now, society does not demonstrate it actually values monogamy among gay couples. People say that because marriage is a stabilizing influence, we need to keep gays from having access to it.



 It&#039;s like anyone else, many people tend to rise or fall according to expectations.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Same-sex â€œmarriageâ€ will never stop gay men from being promiscuous&lt;/i&gt;



You&#039;ve been reading too much J. Michael Bailey.



&lt;i&gt;it will never stop gay men from anal intercourse&lt;/i&gt;



Please, everyone knows marriage kills sex.



&lt;i&gt;Itâ€™s a mindset. You either believe that anal intercourse spreads HIV or you donâ€™t.



It only takes one act of anal intercourse to contract AIDS.&lt;/i&gt;



It does take quite a mindset to believe that a sexual act can cause a virus to magically appear. I&#039;m afraid you left out a couple teensy lil factors: the intercourse has to involve a partner who has the virus, with no barrier to transmission.



&lt;i&gt;We have to get tough on AIDS, and that includes gays. And stop blaming everybody for a virus.&lt;/i&gt;



Or we could get tough on everybody about the virus and stop blaming gays.



&lt;i&gt;If the African bushmen can cooperate with health authorities in the CDC to stop Smallpox, why canâ€™t metropolitan gays cooperate with the CDC or others to stop spreading HIV?&lt;/i&gt;



Well there was the little matter of a vaccine.



&lt;i&gt;Gays have enabled themselves to death. Shut down the bath houses, close down the circuit parties, and stop using pornography.&lt;/i&gt;



Pornography will make the demon who lives in the centerfold (J. Geils lied to us!) give you AIDS. Now THAT&quot;S scarier than a Stephen King thriller. (Well, maybe not &lt;i&gt;It&lt;/i&gt;)



&lt;i&gt;Recognize that freedom comes at a price.&lt;/i&gt;



Such as battling freezer demons and putting up with the likes of you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Same-sex &quot;marriage&quot; will never stop gay men from being promiscuous; alternatively, it will never stop gay men from anal intercourse, the highest risk factor for HIV/AIDS.



Marriage has nothing whatsoever to do with the spread of AIDS.



It&#039;s a mindset.  You either believe that anal intercourse spreads HIV or you don&#039;t.



It only takes one act of anal intercourse to contract AIDS.



We have to get tough on AIDS, and that includes gays.  And stop blaming everybody for a virus.



Here&#039;s a book for you to read, &quot;The Demon In The Freezer&quot; by Richard Preston about the irradication of Smallpox.  It&#039;s scarier than reading a thriller by Steven King - because it really happened.  Buy a copy for yourself for Christmas.



If the  African bushmen can cooperate with health authorities in the CDC to stop Smallpox, why can&#039;t metropolitan gays cooperate with the CDC or others to stop spreading HIV?



Gays have enabled themselves to death.  Shut down the bath houses, close down the circuit parties, and stop using pornography.
