RIP Jack Kemp

[garbon]

Why should HIV-positive people any additional rights?  Also, given the inherent criminality of homosexuals, it would be a good idea to keep them out of schools.

At the time when there was rampant discrimination against them?

Anyway, I think it would be ridiculous to have medical records turned public.

That's no reason.

It would be better to lock the infected up together, for the safety of the majority.

[garbon]

That's no reason.

That's actually exactly why you would...to protect people who are endangered, simply because of fear mongering.

Majority of gays? After all, the majority was unlikely to be harmed unless they started having unsafe sex with infected people.

Their disease is what endangers them.

Majority of gays? After all, the majority was unlikely to be harmed unless they started having unsafe sex with infected people.

Given that the homosexual community sees great virtue in having AIDS, and due to the danger of homosexuals having sex with women and using injection drugs and passing the disease to the normal people, I would say that they were a great danger.  The infected should have been locked away.

[garbon]

Their disease is what endangers them.

Yes, but that's irrelevant to what anti-discrimination laws would protect against.

I don't think so. Most gays of the time saw it as a scary disease that was killing them off.  I doubt that most of the homosexuals at the time were having sex with women...and while many might have been using injection drugs, the danger there is needle swapping. Are straight people who take injected drugs like heroin...normal?

[Neil]

Yes, but that's irrelevant to what anti-discrimination laws would protect against.

They deserved to be discriminated against.

There were enough homosexuals who had sex with women to spread the disease to the normal population.

[Siege]

This is gay.

Are you going to continue to pick and choose what you respond to?

Why wouldn't I?

As for the issue with the injection drug users, they were just as dangerous as the homosexuals.  Anyone who has ever used an injection drug should be executed.

Indeed, so why did you mention that as a homosexual problem?

Because homosexuals are prone to use injection drugs, and because the disease starts in the homosexual community.

I think I'd say my thread here has jumped the shark, didn't use a condom, and is now suffering from HIV.

Alternately, your thread might have been a hemophiliac and an innocent victim of an untested blood transfusion.  Either way, it's going to die of AIDS.
