Wow crash davis! Saying that about homosexuals is a very uneducated and prejudice statement. I work for a company that extends benefits to homosexuals (and I am glad we do because they are productive members of society) and I have close family and friends that are homosexuals and they are perfectly healthy people who practice safe sex or are in a monogamous relationship with their partner, so I don't think and neither does the rest of the educated free world think that their behavior is irresponsible.

In my personal opinion you don't know a homosexual or nothing about them, instead you are deriving your information from sterotypes and probaby regurgitating the opionion of your uneducated pastor at your local church. None of your quote above is grounded in any legitimate facts, figures or research and you can scour the internet and you will not be able to support anything in that prejudice statement you just made.

Most homosexuals I know take pretty good care of themselves and live a much healthier lifestyle than most of these fat heterosexual redneck republican beached whales buying their beer, soda, doritos and honeybuns down at the Wal-Mart and then piling their extra large butts in their recliners day in and day out smoking their cigarettes. Its the IRRESPONSIBLE life style of people like i just described that cost health plans and medicare money when their fat obese rear ends and their fat related injuries start showing up at our emergency rooms and doctors complaining about pain in their back, trouble breathing from cigarettes and extremeties in pain due to diabetes, not the homosexuals.

So no, I disagree with your bigotted statement at every level, I have no problem with paying for homosexuals to have healthcare because that is not an irresponsible lifestyle to live in 2010. So I guess you are right, I don't have a problem with it.


You really should research better"

"n the United States, HIV infection and AIDS have had a tremendous effect on men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM accounted for 71% of all HIV infections among male adults and adolescents in 2005 (based on data from 33 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting), even though only about 5% to 7% of male adults and adolescents in the United States identify themselves as MSM.1,2

The number of HIV diagnoses for MSM decreased during the 1980s and 1990s, but recent surveillance data show an increase in HIV diagnoses for this group.3,4 Additionally, racial disparities exist with regard to HIV diagnoses within the MSM population. A recent study, conducted in 5 large US cities, found that HIV prevalence among black MSM (46%) was more than twice that among white MSM (21%).5

The recent overall increase in HIV diagnoses for MSM, coupled with racial disparities, strongly points to a continued need for appropriate prevention and education services tailored for specific subgroups of MSM, especially those who are members of minority races/ethnicities."
