i understand that you think so, but i don't think it's acceptable that such an important organisation thinks so too.

Nerdanel, was that to me or to Lief? I think we all may have cross-posted.

US statistics from www.avert.org about how AIDS is contracted (2003):
Men (315,113) 58% were men who had sex with men (MSM) 22% were injection drug users (IDU) 11% were exposed through heterosexual contact 8% were both MSM and IDU. Women (88,815) 63% were exposed through heterosexual contact 35% were exposed through injection drug use Children (1,998) there have also been many surveys trying to establish what portion of the population in the US is homosexual... the studies are fairly detailed, with some guesswork, but the numbers come in at around ten million (with about 3 million of those living together in committed relationships)... this means that only 4% of all homosexuals have AIDs... so while it is certainly more common in homosexuals, calling it a "gay disease" is quite inaccurate

btw... it is interesting to note that the safest form of sexual relations, as far as HIV contraction is concerned, is actually between two women

I know just about everyone who reads this post is going to disagree with me about homosexuals or lesbians being more promiscuous, and their experience of knowing these people leads them to believe that way. My experience with homosexuals and lesbians leads me to believe differently. It's a difference that's due to different experience, and I don't think anyone will make any headway continuing to converse in this vein.

I'm surprised this thread's discussion has so far slipped past the mods, or whatever, since it turned from a venting thread into a discussion about AIDS. Which is a very interesting discussion, don't get me wrong, it just seems like it deserves a thread of its own.
