Since 1981 this has become a prevailing thematic. Libraries, newpapers, and the 'net can help you gather information. But the truth is this and this goes for every reader here: 1. If it seemed to be heterosexuals spreading this, what you say? 2. If one day, you woke up in your town, Earth and found out lepers moved in and it was spreading, what would you do? To me, blowing off church and state, I say we need to educate to full extent. Right now, there is a new and power packed new viral contaminant and a mutated virus that has killed 5 men in the US as of this date. As we know, there are only a few ways to get AIDs. If we can keep this from spreading like wildfire, we all need to stop squabbling back and forth and DO something. What can we do? Do we need to begin in elementary school, junior high, or higher? Let's just say we have a bunch of lepers. Does anyone want that horrid neurologially passed disorder? No. Do you want the plague to resurface? No. So, what do we do? I know this answer. If a flood of lepers both homo and hetero, NO BODY would want them around if it CAN spread. If we say no we aren't like that, then we LIE. I say educate, demonstrate and get it where it begins first. In human body contact. I'd gladly step aside from the pack if I knew I'd wind up killing half of them. This is about confrontation, fact finding and statistics and NOTHING ELSE. How many times have you been upset because someone infected you with a cold virus? WHAT will we do if no one will step up and say we will STOP (and I don't give a hoot whether it's gays, hertero's or needle junkie AIDS). The fight isn't about being healthy any more. It's a cat fight about human rights. Fine, then. You have it, you get married and go over here with that person because we the government in an effort to save thousand more and to reduce the deficit, you go over here to this colony. The lepers can go over to theirs and the plague people and everybody else with a passable chronic problem! That WAY WE PRESERVE THE HUMAN RIGHTS! TREAT EM' ALL THE SAME. AND IF I GET IT, I WILL MOVE IN, TOO!! It's ALL about rights and not disease control.

Most of the "states" are choosing independently whether to allow homosexual marriage or not. George Bush uses this as a ploy to gain popularity with the "religious right". Most homosexuals will live together if a bill is passed or not. But that's not really the issue, the issue is giving this group of people the same rights as everyone else in America has. As far as the AIDS question. AIDS did first show up in homosexual men, later it was found to be passed on just by unprotected sexual contact, for YEARS it showed the highest percentage of AIDS carriers were homosexual men, then the truth hit the fan. The statistics were WRONG, the reasons it was showing so high in the Homosexual Population was due to the fact that they were the ONLY ones being tested. Since that time the National Health Organization have learned a few things. Right now there is a rising trend for heterosexual teenagers to be the highest group. (teenagers have a tendency to think nothing will harm them, it's just their mindset) and the parents aren't helping with their bigoted notions that only sexual deviants will catch this. As for your statement that homosexuals aren't religious, that just isn't true. I'm not really sure where you heard that, but it's a TOTALLY FALSE statement. The religious right loves to throw up parts of the bible that make the statement THEY want heard. Then discount other parts of the bible. Most against homosexuals is pulled from Leviticus where it says its a shame for a man to lay with another man, but one verse down, it speaks of an unmarried woman having sex and she should be killed. Most of the bible thumpers (as I like to call them) will drag out the one verse to condemn something they find distasteful and ignore the other because IT pertains to them. Truthfully you should read as much as you can about both sides before coming to a conclusion.

Your post contains plenty of jumping to conclusions and misinformation.
- It muddles the distinction between getting married and sexual relations. One does not require the other. If that is really his concern, does he somehow think it is going to stop people from having sex if he fights the fight against gay marriage?
- You say that gays do not believe in religion. This is a sweeping generalization, and is not necessarily true. It is definitely not true in many cases.
- You say that homosexual relations will make AIDS spread like the flu. AIDS can also be spread by heterosexual sex (and other means like intravenous drug use) as well, if the people involved are not being careful and smart. So while yes, homosexual relations could make AIDS spreadlike the flu, so could heterosexual relations. Which again, has absolutely nothing to do with marriage.
What is it exactly you want to scientifically prove? That homosexual sex can spread AIDS? I doubt that is in dispute. Of course it can. As can heterosexual sex. As can intravenous drug use and sharing of needles. Notably, I've never known anyone to get AIDS by taking part in a wedding ceremony. But that is where lots of people seem to want to focus their energy, when practically speaking the issue of gay marriage is much more an issue of legalities and accounting. I suspect most gays in America today wouldn't care if they could technically be married if they had domestic partner benefits comparable to marriage.

George Bush is a homophobic a$$ who is controlled pretty much by the fanatically religeous right....first of all, Bush will fail in his efforts to ban gay marriages, and if you look at the statistics on aids throughout the world, more heteros are passing it on than gays..but then again, why look up any research, you seem to have made up your own mind based upon the propaganda you've already read. one can only hope you're not old enough to vote, there's enough people out there already who don't think for themselves.

Aids is spread by ignorant people having unprotected sex, not homosexuality. The biggest increase in hiv cases is actually heterosexual teenagers followed closely by heterosexual women. Makes you wonder what is really happening, doesn't it. get tested, and use a condom every time and don't do iv drugs. GET EDUCATED! That's the only way to prevent the spread of the disease.

How is banning gay marriage going to stop the spread of AIDS since marriage usually means sex only with your mate? Banning sex among people who are not married would be more effective than banning gay marriage.
If Bush wanted to stop the spread of AIDS he should allow US funding of condoms programs in Africa and start more harm reduction programs in the US.

Get your ignorant mind out of the 80's. Anybody who has sex can carry and transmit HIV. And banning marriage isn't going to stop anyone from having sex anyway. Go suck on a Bible
