First you say that society has the right to protect itself from harmful diseases. Then do an about face in this thread by supporting same-sex behaviors...

Yet when it comes to protecting the general population from Aids, you're stance on society protecting itself changes. Considering that 3-5% of the US population is gay, and that over half of all new HIV cases come from that segment of people, I'd say that it's quite disproportionate. I don't think the general population should be at risk because of a small segment of people that choose to participate in deviant sexual behaviors.

Aids is one of the top killers for people aged 13-24, basically our kids... yet it's still ok with you all to do nothing about it.

•Every 9½ minutes, someone in the U.S. is infected with HIV. It is estimated that there are over 56,000 new cases of HIV in the U.S. each year.
•It is estimated that 1.7 million people in the U.S. have been infected with HIV since 1981 and approximately 1.1 million Americans are currently be living with the infection.
•Gay and bisexual men account for more than half of all new HIV cases and about 48% of those currently living with the virus.

So what do you advocate in an attempt to stem the tide of the stem the tide of HIV?

For the record, this is a false equivalency considering in the vast majority of cases of being infected with HIV it is someone that was an active participant. The issue with the whole vaccination issue is just being in the same subway car, or being in the same cab after someone got out of it, or even coming into contact with someone that came in contact with someone that came in contact with someone that wasn't vaccinated can cause transmission. But please, continue.
