I may not like it, but no one is harmed by the behavior. I'm sure not going to flap my hole on twitter about it.
thanks for the honest answer... but let me tell you what I learned today... read below. I think its time society starts insisting that those who engage in risky behavior always wear condoms... 20% of gays have hiv /aids? half don't know it. syphillis has been re ignited and its resistant? if seems to me if you show gay men kissing each on t.v., the message needs to be balanced with a public health announcement. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/12/Deadly-Diseases-Exploding-Among-Gays The sometimes-deadly disease syphilis is exploding in the United States, with most of the increase since 1995 among men who have sex with men (MSM), according to a new report from the Atlanta-based Center for Disease Control (CDC). As recently as 2000, researchers believed the total elimination of syphilis was within reach. The recent dramatic increases in infections, coupled with the observation that syphilis closely tracks with other diseases like AIDS, have the medical and scientific community deeply concerned. The CDC report considers âthe increase in syphilis among MSM is a major public health concern.â According to the report, âDuring 2005-2013, the number of primary and secondary syphilis cases reported each year in the United States nearly doubled, from 8,724 to 16,663; the annual rate increased from 2.9 to 5.3 cases per 100,000 population.â The report also says that âmen contributed an increasing proportion of cases, accounting for 91.1% of all primary and secondary syphilis cases in 2013.â Most of the increases came from men who have sex with men, which were responsible for 77% of cases in 2009 but 83.9% in 2012, what the report calls âthe vast majority of male⦠syphilis cases.â The report warns that the numbers in the new report are likely far less than the true number because only 34 states and the District of Columbia fully report sex of sex partners. The report raises a particular concern about what it calls âco-infection rates.â âThere are reported rates of 50%-70% HIV co-infection among MSM infected with primary or secondary syphilisâ¦â The notion of co-infection follows closely a report just published by independent researcher Dale OâLeary in the prestigious Linacre Quarterly of the Catholic Medical Association, found at the bottom of this article. OâLeary reports that researchers understand the problems of health among MSM are now so vast and interrelated they are considered a âsyndemic,â a linked set of health issues involving two or more afflictions acting in concert within a specific population. According to the medical literature, among MSM these would include diseases like syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV but also such pathologies as partner violence, drug abuse, and psychological disorders. Treating a single part of this puzzle would not solve the whole problem. The HIV/AIDS infection rate alone is bleak. From 2008 to 2010 the new HIV infection.... more at the link..
And .... those who engage in risky behavior, and if they contract HIV .... yes, they will still pay the same premium as someone who practices healthy choices relative to his lifestyle. More thanks to Odumbocare. Yet they will cost significantly more per year in medical expenses. Risky choices should mean higher premiums for those who choose such behavior. Also, whereas the drafting of an openly gay guy may be news .... photos of him and his 'partner' (by the way, who will be the husband and who will be the wife) are not relevant or newsworthy. Last, WTF were cameras even there? I suppose Mr. Gay allowed that and/or even encouraged it so he could get even more publicity. Probably more publicity than he'll ever get on the field .... if he even makes the team.
Meanwhile, Michael Sam is out with a new commercial for Visa, saying "Judge me for who i am on the field and how i did at the combine" Problem is he had a terrible scouting combine and will more than likely never see the field, and he was the one who decided to make his gayness a big deal. Wonder how much visa paid a career practice squad player for this commercial. Got to give Michael Sam's agent credt, he is a genius for manipulating the mainstream media into getting him drafted, with seven figure endorsements, when Sam will never play a down in the NFL. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/C75q_7TVmCk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Michael Sam had a terrible combine. His 4.9- 40 is very slow for a linebacker and his paltry 17 reps is weak for a DE. He also showed below average athleticism for either position. But as usual with media and advertising, who cares about details?
Ed Schultz thinks gays were the real victims of the holocaust. 15000 gays (If its even true) vs millions of jews. Yeah Ed Gays were the real victims.
