MRSA Outbreak Among 'Gays'- Let the Whitewash Begin

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Nonetheless, Berger’s dodgy rationalization perfectly encapsulates the strategy employed by both the homosexual lobby and the rest of his media cohorts.  They can’t possibly be this deep in denial, so the cover up must be intentional.      

Still, the actual study left little room for rationalization.  It determined that the spread of MRSA, “among men who have sex with men is associated with high-risk behaviors, including use of methamphetamine and other illicit drugs, sex with multiple partners, participation in a group sex party, use of the internet for sexual contacts, skin-abrading sex, and history of sexually transmitted infections.”

Ultimately, the study warned that, “Having male-male sex seems to be a risk factor for [MRSA] … The infection frequently manifests as an abscess or cellulitis in the buttocks, genitals, or perineum, and male-male sex was a risk factor.”

The study found that this behaviorally related “[MRSA] epidemic probably started in San Francisco and has been disseminated by the frequent cross-coastal travel of men who have sex with men.”

It all boils down to this: The human body is quite callous in how it handles mistreatment and the perversion of its natural functions. When two men mimic the act of heterosexual intercourse with one another, they create an environment, a biological counterfeit, wherein disease can thrive. Unnatural behaviors beget natural consequences.

The medical community has known for decades that homosexual conduct, especially among males, creates a breeding ground for often deadly disease.  In recent years we’ve seen a profound resurgence in cases of HIV/AIDS, syphilis, rectal gonorrhea and many other STDs among those who call themselves “gay.”

But don’t take my word for it.  Ask one of their own.  Prolific author and homosexual activist, Jack Hart:

“Many sexually transmitted diseases occur more often among gay men than in the general population. Several factors contribute to this difference: Gay men have the opportunity to engage in sex with more people than do most heterosexual men, and some practices common among gays — especially rimming [anal-oral intercourse] and anal intercourse — are highly efficient at transmitting disease.” (Gay Sex: A Manual for Men Who Love Men, Allyson Books, 1998, pp. 212-213).

Still, don’t just take Jack’s word for it:

“The same patterns of increased sexual risk behaviors among men who have sex with men … have been driving resurgent epidemics of early syphilis, rectal gonorrhea, and new HIV infections in San Francisco, Boston, and elsewhere,” concluded the MRSA study.

So finally, I ask this question, and it’s a troubling one indeed:  What can one say about the character of organized political activists and mainstream journalists who would intentionally place a deceptive political agenda above the health and well-being of Americans, including members of their own community? … Who would choose to deliberately quash valuable medical information which might save lives simply because it creates a setback to narrow political ambitions? 

I know what I’d say, and it sure ain’t nice.

• Gay, lesbian, and bisexual orientation was associated with an increased lifetime frequency of use of cocaine, crack, anabolic steroids, inhalants, “illegal,” and injectable drugs
• Gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth were more likely to report using tobacco, marijuana, and cocaine before 13 years of age

A study of 394 self-identified bisexual and homosexual adolescents in the seventh to twelfth grade who participated in the 1986-87 Minnesota Adolescent Health Survey found:
• The proportion of younger respondents (defined as 14 years of age or younger) with a history of sexual abuse was almost four times greater among girls (14.9 percent) than boys (4.1 percent)
• None of the younger boys and 42.1 percent of the younger girls who reported a history of sexual abuse discussed the abuse with someone
• 30.7 percent of older girls (defined as 15 years of age or older) compared to 16.7 percent of older boys reported a history of sexual abuse
• 54.5 percent of older boys and 45.8 percent of older girls who reported a history of sexual abuse had never discussed the abuse with anyone

• Bisexual/lesbian respondents reported approximately twice as great a prevalence of pregnancy (12 percent) as either unsure or heterosexual young women (five to six percent)
• Among respondents who had been pregnant, 24 percent of bisexual/lesbian respondents reported multiple pregnancies as opposed to 10 percent of heterosexual respondents and 15 percent of those unsure about their sexual orientation
• Bisexual/lesbian respondents (33 percent) were as likely as their heterosexual peers (29 percent) to have ever had penile-vaginal intercourse, while those unsure of their sexual orientation (22 percent) were less likely to have engaged in penile-vaginal intercourse
• Of the respondents who had ever had penile-vaginal intercourse, 62 percent of bisexual/lesbian young women said they had first done so before the of age 14, as compared to 45 percent of heterosexual respondents and 46 percent of those unsure of their sexual orientation. However, this difference was no longer statistically significant when controlled for self-reported history of sexual abuse.
• Among sexually experienced respondents, bisexual/lesbian women were significantly more likely to engage daily or several times a week in penile-vaginal intercourse (22 percent) than their heterosexual peers (15 percent) or those unsure of their sexual orientation (17 percent)
