yes they absolutely do its a proven fact... not but a few decades ago did people think that only gay males contracted sexually transmitted diseases.... cuz well u know... dont listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.... the type of sex that gay males have (i really hope you know what kind) cause many abrasions where a virus can easily spread.... gay males are also know for having many partners because they know they can never have children like that and feel no bond towards the person..... try going on an aids/HIV website, that would probably give a lot and i mean a lot of facts about STDs ...and just something to think about if a man and a man can't have a child, and a woman and a woman can't have a child... how is that right? but whatever.. everyone is enititled to their own opinion.

Mike Savage discusses this in his books as does Bernie Goldberg
Liberalism is a Mental Disease pg 173-180
The Savage Nation pg 109-112
The Enemy Within (7 indexed references to aids/hiv)
Arrogance - see homosexuality in the index

while lesbians are not more likely to contract an STD because there isn't really any bodily fluid exchange gay men are at a higher risk especially if they are having unprotected sex, because with anal intercourse there is a lot of bodily fluids namely blood exchanged...but this does not mean gay people are more prone to them or only gay people have STDs there is just a higher chance at times because of the amount of fluids exchanged

Being gay doesn't mean you're any more susceptable to STDs than straight people. What matters is the # of exposures you have to someone who's already infected. Both gays and straights can be promiscuous.

Has nothing do to with gender anymore or what your sexual preferences are. It all comes down to promiscuity and unprotected sex with lots of partners.

Yes, they are significantly higher. In the 1980's a huge number of gays, in the millions, died from aids. their were several of them for every strait victim.

I guess so. I dont know if its because of multiple partners. You wouldnt think you can get AIDS from the anus but I guess you can. Wrap your twinkie and your chances are you'll stay HIV free.

yes that is a true fact.
the only problem is that if they got married they would be only married to one person and commited to that one person (in theory) so they would not spread their diseases except to their partner.
