These people are a disgrace to homosexuals everywhere, and I certainly hope no one here is stupid enough to think that most homosexuals would ever want to be infected with a disease that would waste away their bodies after 10 or 15 years.

The Politically Correct Gestapo will go absolutely nutso with this story.

I want to build viewing stands and control the snacks concessions.

Stupid article. Not even close to believable. Who but the gay community would know better what someone with HIV goes through. Nobody would choose that way to die.

This isn't the first time I've heard of this. Dunno if it was true or not,but apparently, it was/is in vogue for HIV activists to be HIV+ and some were actively seeking the disease so they would not feel like hypocrits or so they could be more empathatic, or some such nonsense.

I hope it's a lie. Not only are they throwing their own lives away, they're damaging the entire struggle to control and eliminate this disease.

If true, and hopefully this gets it back ON topic, I think that it's an expansion of the culture of the victim that has arisen over the past few decades... It's more noble (and socially rewarded) to be a victim than to be a responsible non-victim. We've got folks who vehemently claim that they couldn't defend themselves, etc. - that isn't all that far from this...
