Should we ban homosexuality?

I'm homosexual, but I've never been truly happy about it...well, maybe a bit until recently. Thing is, I hate all the propaganda; I get it, you're gay, why do you need to wear a sign or talk with a lisp? I guess it's all genetic makeup.
When I see what the fuss is all about in Russia, I just feel they're blowing everything out of proportion. Then I am reminded that human rights are actually violated; you see, it ain't east being gay; it's a constant paradox.
I am worried that our society will crumble because of neo-liberalism. Then I read articles like this, and I think ... Well, what if gay propaganda were banned? Well, probably not the best solution, but today it seems society is encouraging everyone to 'come out' which can distort the perception of young teenagers who don't fully grasp their sexuality.
Don't get me wrong, marriage equality for all, but these days it seems we're stepping on straight people (90% of the population).

[HEALTH: What to Expect at Your HIV Test]
It was only fitting that the logo of the Human Rights Campaign would become the symbol of the two gay marriage wins at the Supreme Court last week – on California's same-sex marriage ban, and on federal benefits for gay couples. HRC, the largest LGBT group in the country, had thrown an enormous amount of resources behind the fight for gay marriage. Its "Millions for Marriage" campaign had, quite literally, raised millions.
But while the HRC has racked up win after win on marriage, it may be quietly losing another, harder battle, a battle some say it hasn't fought very hard to win: the fight against HIV/AIDS.
In December 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released startling new data that showed HIV was still plaguing the gay community. While new HIV infections had remained steady in the general public between 2008 and 2010, infections had risen by an incredible 22 percent in young gay men. Gay men represented two-thirds of new infections. And nearly 6,000 gay men were dying of AIDS every year.
The Kaiser Health Foundation recently described the problem of HIV in the city of Washington, where the HRC and many other big LGBT groups are headquartered, as "as epidemic on par with some developing nations."
"Gay and bisexual men remain at the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic," says Jonathan Mermin, the director of the CDC's division of HIV/AIDS prevention. "But HIV is not always at the top of the list of priorities for LGBT organizations." |
You might say, people should wear condoms, but gay guys love to bareback. That's just a fact of life. |

yeah i dont think the so called "gay propaganda" is causing the issues with HIV in the gay community..... i think its a bit more complex than that..... there have also been studies related to psychological effects of HIV stigmatization within the gay community which in turn has led some individuals to seek infection in order to relive the anxiety not knowing if they are infected or not... yeah it sounds pretty ed up.... I think it also has alot to do with the fact that AIDS and HIV aren't the death sentence that they used to be 30 years ago, alot of the inherent fear about the disease is waning.... |
