Actually, having unprotected anal sex does.
A clean, gay man in a monogamous, committed relationship with another clean, gay man really has no fear of contracting HIV no matter how much "acting" gay he does.
too bad so many of them are not clean or in committed relationships
true. "being gay" doesn't. "acting" gay does.
If you are not a citizen of Sodom than you have nothing to worry about. Being that the city was destroyed 4000 years ago I don't think anybody here is a "Sodom-ite." Why a man 239 years agowould have much of an opinion or address people from a town that was destroyed 4000 years ago I don't know but someone started a thread about it.
duh, is it likely that anyone not sexually active will get AIDS or syphilis?
Don't be obtuse.
Another attempt to stir up sh*t by a known homophobe. This is getting boring.
Yeah...if only there was some sort of cultural institution which promoted two people forming a lifelong, committed relationship which we could utilize to incentize gay men to form lasting, committed relationships.
I'm not. Sodom was a city, "sodomite" is an inhabitant of the city of Sodom. I have never been to Sodom, I am a Houstonian i live in Houston. Don't be ridiculous if you want to talk about homosexuals don't reference the citizens of Sodom, as i can tell they are all dead.
I am not Roman, Greek, Indian, Italian, or a sodomite. Where is Sodom? How many people live there?
The OP was obtuse. As if I am from Sodom.
1. Smaller population. Things get around quicker within a smaller group of people.
2. Anal sex. HIV is a blood borne pathogen and anal sex creates tears in the anal lining that leads to areas for infection.
3. Lack of societal incentives for lasting, monogamous relationships. Without marriage and the norms associated with it, gay men have no cultural incentive to overrule their natural impulses.
4. Lack of sexual education. Whereas most schools teach at least some heterosexual sex education, very few to none teach anything about homosexual sex or the risks from unprotected sex.
5. A lack of concern with pregnancy. Given that gay men are not concerned with impregnating their partner, they are less concerned with using protection like condoms.
6. Stigma. A lot of men who are not out due to fear of losing their family support, job, etc. engage in risky sexual behaviors and do not seek testing.
7. Stupidity. Some men simply choose to ignore the risks they pose to their own health and the health of others.
Or was that not a real question?
If you don't like the term "sodomite" (and I don't blame you) that's one thing. Ignoring the history of the the term as a reference to homosexuals, however, is being obtuse.
Whatever dude.
too bad so many of them are not clean or in committed relationships
Now, my discussion of Sodom and Gommorah:
So everyone knows, Sodom and Gommorah was not about homosexuality at all. It was hospitality and protection. God punished those two cities because they were inhospitable, including towards his two angels that he sent. The "sodomy" that he was referring was NOT homosexuality, but was RAPE. The homosexuality misinterpretation comes from the fact that the angry mob wanted to rape (male homosexuality) the angels that visited Lot. This was a very common method of humiliation that was used at the time, especially amongst Pagans towards their enemies. During this time period, we had a patriarchal society, so, with the men in charge, humiliating and intimidating them was more effective. God's warning is that sodomy... RAPE, especially homosexual RAPE, is sinful... hence his destruction of those two cities where that practice occurred. The story says nothing about consentual homosexual behavior.
As I've said 1000 times.
Founding Father Worshipping is very unhealthy.
I've reposted this before. Here is the actual translation/understanding of where the word "sodomy" came from:
sodomy is about homosexual rape used to intimidate. It's not about homosexual behavior. Dumb misnomer that has been presented for generations, causing the word to by used incorrectly.
I think if there was a little more sex ed geared to homosexuals these numbers would drop, but the second we mention that the screaming from the phobic people drowns out any sense that is made.
Yeah, all i remember is being made to watch one of those vids where doctors go into the schools and answer the kids' questions. One of them asked about something gay related and the video suddenly cut out, then resumed after that part was over. Yes, that was SO informative and helpful to the self esteem, and totally worked to keep the gay away.
true. "being gay" doesn't. "acting" gay does.

Some gay men are expressly promiscuous, this is reality, the lesson here, don't be reckless. Oscar pretends the lesson is don't be gay, but he admitted if you are not promiscuous your likely not going to be at high risk for AIDS or syphilis. So really it comes down to promiscuity. I am willing to bet that people no matter their orientation are far more likely to become infected based on the frequency in which they exchange sexual partners. Oh wait that was a fact that I learns in my forth grade health class.
They also believed women shouldn't vote,
Take the time to read John Adams letters to his wife on the issue.
