Political Correctness Puts Homosexuals at Risk

I’m sure you heard that the “Gay Games” just ended in Chicago. Big doings. Lots of people with “alternative” lifestyles came to town. Big money spent by all around and by sponsors.

This would be harmless enough I guess. These go on every 4 years. 2010 in Cologne Germany. I’m going to get my tickets, (that's a joke man). We have a “Gay Pride Parade” once a year. All the politicos and TV personalities turn out to make an appearance as half or fully naked people dressed as flowers or other things parade down the street. Yeech.

I guess whatever turns your crank is appropriate here. For this old guy stuck squarely in the 50’s this is a bit much.

I think the headline that caught my attention most was one from the Chicago Tribune that reported how the immigration authorities had bent the rules to allow delegates from all over the world to come to the games even though they were HIV positive or suffering full blown aids.

From the Article:

The Immigration and Nationality Act denies visas to anyone with "a communicable disease of public health significance," and HIV was placed in that category in 1987. Only a handful of countries, including Saudi Arabia and Iran, have a similar policy regarding people with HIV.

Of 12,000 participating athletes representing 100 countries, perhaps fewer than 50 will be foreigners with HIV, said Gay Games organizer Kevin Boyer. That is only an estimate, he emphasized, as the decision to divulge health issues--whether allergies or HIV status--to the Gay Games is voluntary.

Some Web sites advise visitors on how to avoid detection by U.S. officials upon arrival, such as by rebottling AIDS drugs in neutral packaging or mailing them to a friend here.

Blanket waivers to the policy are granted for certain "designated events," such as the Gay Games. HIV-positive travelers can try to get a waiver for personal business, but these are much tougher to obtain, advocates report. Immigration officials said they could not say how often waivers are granted.

Ronda Goldfein, director of the AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania, said slowing the spread of AIDS is not about specific people but specific behaviors, namely unprotected sex and the sharing of hypodermic needles.

Many of the sponsors of this event were area bathhouses. Why? What do you think? The gay games were as much about “Party” as running marathons. Let’s just say the gay games were a contact sport.

Here’s the question. If aids mutates into more virulent forms and if those forms are transferred by bodily fluids is the Gay community that remains behind in Chicago now that the games are done being played
A: LESS
B: MORE
at risk of infection by bringing in these new permutations of the virus?

I’m not a homophobe. I won’t insult you in explaining that I have several friends who are of the ilk. (Some of my best friends………..). They are. They are as astonished by the political correctness and tolerance excesses as I am.

Here’s for me where the rubber meets the road. My brother John was a brittle diabetic in the last years of his life. He died at 50. For the few years leading up to his demise he bled easily and profusely. Because of the fear of aids he was treated like a vermin when he bled. It was insulting and painful to see. People knew why he bled but fear of human blood was so rampant. When he bled the Haz Mat suits came out. It’s the same in Schools today.

Even today in a High School football game if you start to bleed (nose) you are taken out for the same reason.

But because they are homosexuals with lots of political clout we bend or break good rules to allow strains of infection on our shores for no other reason that it is politically unwise not to.

Now, when or if bird flu sets in and there are quarantines and a homosexual has bird flu will that keep him off our shores?

I doubt it.
