Homosexuals were literally dying in the streets of San Francisco, according to David Horowitz in his book Prodigal Son, when the AIDS epidemic broke out and they still fought against closing the 'public bathhouses" which offered anonymous sex through holes drilled in boards. Is there any person in the free world today who doesn't know that unprotected sometimes violent homosexual intercourse with a stranger often results in an incurable disease? Doesn't everyone understand that sharing body fluids with a stranger is like dancing with a cobra? Yet they still do it and clinically insane I.V. drug users still share dirty needles with strangers. Maybe it's a death wish.
Well it's actually insanity. My point in the OP was how can be expect the insane to regulate their insane behavior in order to protect the general population's health in this epidemic? That's how the CDC has done a collosal-FAIL.
The reason the CDC is refusing to act appropriately, which would include teaching all kids in sex ed that anal sex is forbidden unless they want to die, is because of PC reasons. This allegory of The Emperor's New Clothes has gone on to such absurd extremes that we now have the CDC taking "actions" that puts the public at risk because "The Emperor's Clothes are so pretty, dontcha know..."
No, gay men have been pointed out by the CDC's own research money as in a "pervasive" 'epidemic" that shows they are mentally ill with many other co-morbid symptoms...and histories of being molested as boys. And every flunkie psychologist knows that children who are molested often act-out sexually. Grow that into adolescence and we find promiscuity and HIV infection. And this neatly falls into place with the new and escalating numbers of young men coming down with HIV from gay sex. They aren't going to self-police. The loonies cannot treat themselves.
And the problem is that they are crossing this epidemic over into the hetero population at large. While the CDC does nothing. Or worse than nothing. Their "plan" is no plan at all. But in announcing it's a "plan", they gain the public's complacency so there won't be an outcry.
