In response to President Bush's idea to spend $135 million for abstinence-only education, we get this:

"We should be providing support for programs that actually work," said Maureen O'Leary,
executive director of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association, via e-mail. "We should continue
educating our youth on the necessities of condom use rather than assuming they will never have
sex.

"And if we advocate for abstinence until marriage, where does that leave gay people who are not
able to marry?" she asked.

Ironic. Uganda has cut it's AIDS rate by 50% in 10 years through Abstinence Education. The rest of Africa has been pushing condoms and their AIDS rates are high double digit. Compare and contrast. It is so completely retarded that anal-sex having, penis sucking, semen swallowing homosexuals would complain about something that has been PROVEN to work to decrease AIDS simply because it requires constraints on their behavior. THAT, my good friends, is why AIDS will not go away. Not because we didn't throw enough money or condoms at the problem, but because the spreaders of the disease were not willing to modify their behavior to embrace best proven solution. They want to cry that they are victims of the system, of hetero oppression, of non-acceptance, of stereotypes, of "hate" or homophobes, when in fact, they are only victims of their own behavior and their own refusal to modify that behavior to save their own lives. ( I know AIDS/HIV is not just a queer disease.) Just like the alcoholic crying for a new liver, or the 30 year smoker trying to sue the tobacco company. The alcoholic knew what would happen if he drank too much. The smoker knew cigarettes cause cancer. The homo knows a condom wrapped penis isn't entirely safe to stick in his @#$. To the drinker, the cigarette smoker as well as the pole smoker, I have 3 words:

Too bad.

In the mean time, the rest of us non-gays, will refrain from casual "safe"-sex with or without condoms because they don't appear to offer the same level of "protection" as the gay crowd would have us believe. Thank you very much, but us smart people will abstain.
