But I will anyway. (1) Unprotected sex between men has a higher rate of transmission than unprotected sex between men and women. This is known. Protected sex between men, ie. correctly using a condom for anal sex, has the same low risk of transmission as protected sex between a man and a woman. There are other reasons that you haven't thought about: the gay community is smaller than the straight community and in small societies this is even more true. Hence, there's a lot of sharing going on in the gay community which could help see the virus spread. This is not a GAY issue per se, it becomes an issue of population size within the gay community. (2) Being in the closet does not mean you sit in a corner and not have sex, hoping that laws are repealed so you can finally experience gay life! Being in the closet means you have tons of sexual encounters with men while having sex with women and cursing gays and quoting the bible to anyone who would listen. Laws and an oppressive society that force men to go in the closet also force them to maintain double lives on the downlow so sit and think about that -- your woman may well have slept with a few gay men. Scared? (3) Once again, the unprotected gay act "spreads the virus more easily". The same protections that exist for straight people exist for gay people too. Condoms, monogamy and regular tests make sex between men and sex between women equally as safe. Triv, you are talking out of your ass on this one.

I don’t think that World AIDS Day should be use as a cloak to legalize the gay act, because the gay act spreads the virus more easily.

The article itself admits that "substantial transmission" occurs between men who have sex with men, and it is for the reason i stated. In other words it is more easily spread between MSM, than men who have sex with women. Randy, there are men out there who are in the closet on this issue. If any laws are removed against homosexuality, some of these guys will join the rank and file. Asha Singh, what do you comprehend me as having said? Dorian, i’m quite for real.
