Sleazy gay men who just want boys

This article contains graphic true language of the sinfulness of homosexual sin. I have to thank Michelangelo Signorile and other gay writers who have come forward in the  Huffington Post,  and elsewhere, in response to the discussion of Dustin Lance Black 's relationship with a nineteen-year-old boy. After decades of false pretenses, they have at last come clean with the American public, and admitted that the gay movement cannot succeed unless taboos against man-boy sex are at last knocked down.  I had tiptoed around the issue until this week. I had been attacked as "anti-equality" and "anti-gay" for over a year, even without bringing up what I knew about the rampant pederasty ( sex between men and teenagers, as opposed to pedophilia, which is sex between men and children.) Even as my defense of children's rights made me vulnerable to charges of conspiring with evil homophobic rubes, I was holding back an even more difficult dimension of my opp

Vancouver seeks to stem rising tide of syphilis among gay men

Image
VANCOUVER,  - In response to syphilis rates among Vancouver's homosexual/bisexual men having reached epidemic proportions, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) has launch a new campaign aimed at stopping the spread of the highly contagious disease by distributing more condoms. In what the  Canadian Press  describes as a "cheeky internet and poster campaign," Vancouver Coastal Health's " Health Initiative for Men " focuses on " What's trending in Vancouver?" The VCH campaign answers its own question, "how do I protect myself?" by responding, the "regular use of condoms." In June, Vancouver Coastal Health and the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC)  issued a warning  that syphilis infections in homosexual and bisexual men have soared to their highest levels in more than 30 years in the Vancouver area. According to the warning, 2012 saw 371 new cases of syphilis reported in British Columbia. Eighty

‘Epidemic’: HIV rates, already sky-high, continuing to climb among gay men, warns CDC

A  fact sheet  released at the end of June by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warns that HIV rates, already at epidemic proportions, are continuing to climb steadily among men who have sex with men (MSM). "Gay and bisexual men remain at the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic," says Jonathan Mermin, the director of the CDC's division of HIV/AIDS prevention. The CDC notes that while homosexual men make up only a very small percentage of the male population (4%), MSM account for over three-quarters of all new HIV infections, and nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of all new infections in 2010 (29,800). "Men who have sex with men remain the group most heavily affected by HIV in the United States," the fact sheet states. US News  reports  that if HIV infections among men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to rise at the current rates, more than half of college-aged homosexual men will have HIV by the age of 50.

Syphilis rates at ‘epidemic proportions’ among Vancouver gay/bisexual men

VANCOUVER, June 10, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) and the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) have  issued a warning  that syphilis infections in homosexual and bisexual men have soared to their highest levels in more than 30 years in the Vancouver area.  According to the warning, 2012 saw 371 new cases of syphilis reported in British Columbia. Eighty percent of those cases were diagnosed in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, which stretches from Metro Vancouver northward along the coast to Bella Coola , and were confined almost entirely to the male homosexual community. According to VCH's syphilis infection records, the disease was almost non-existent in the early 1990s, with only 3 infections, mostly associated with female prostitutes, reported in 1993. By 1997 the number of cases rose to 22, and then exploded as the disease shifted to the male homosexual community in the early 2000s. According to the  Public Health A

Recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on HIV infection in the United States reveal some disturbing trends concerning gay males or, in CDC terminology, “men who have sex with men” ( MSM ). In recent data the CDC estimated that 61 percent of the 48,079 HIV infections diagnosed in 2010 occurred through male to male sexual contact.(1) According to the CDC data, sexual contact and injection drug use are the predominant means by which HIV is transmitted. The CDC data on HIV diagnoses came from forty-six states and five U.S. dependent areas. 29,194 new HIV diagnoses in 2010 were linked to male homosexual contact where no injection drug use took place. There were approximately 4550 HIV male diagnoses linked to heterosexual contact. Injection drug use was involved in 5481 cases. Women contracting the HIV virus through heterosexual contact accounted for approximately 8,800 cases. 47 HIV cases came from sources other than the four listed. Included i

The study, carried out by researchers from the UK Medical Research Council 's Biostatistics Unit, examined whether increases in testing rates and antiretroviral therapy coverage corresponded to the control of HIV transmission in the UK's population of men who have sex with men ( MSM ) since 2001.  They found that despite an almost four-fold expansion in HIV testing in MSM (16,000 homosexual men in 2001 to 59,300 in 2010), a reduction in the average time-to-diagnosis interval from
