This fearmonger is one of the speakers at the GOP convention:

He claims to want to help kids, but he goes way beyond the typical BS about gays supposedly conspiring to convert straight kids. "I’m not in the mood to play with those who are trying to kill our children."

Remeber, according to Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, the gays made God mad so he blew up the Twin Towers.
Sorry, the gays AND the feminists AND the American Civil Liberties Union.
Just to point out some facts.
1- The life expectancy reports that argue that homosexual males die in their 40's has been discredited. There are no accurate reports concerning homosexual versus heterosexual life expectancies. You can imagine that finding statistics might not be easy.
2- AIDS, or the "plague", as you put it, in the US and Western Europe affects 1.5 million people. The primary transmission source is sex, heterosexual OR homosexual, and then IV drug use.
3- The largest AIDS problem is in sub-sahara Africa with 35 million infected. HETEROsexual transmission is, by far, the main source of transmission. Women are the most at risk. 3.5 million people are infected each year.
AIDS is not a gay problem. Its a disease and labelling it as a homosexual plague is just making a horrible problem worse.

But one must look at the *rate* at which homosexuals are afflicted with AIDS versus the rate at which heterosexuals are. Homosexuals comprise but a small percentage of the population.

I was responding to Hessian's association of gays with the "plague" of AIDS and the misrepresentation of life expectancies. I admit its a bit off-topic from the original post, but follows a theme of homophobia. Labelling gays as child killers is absurd in the extreme.
As for the facts about AIDS infection rates:
- More than 95% of new HIV infections occur in the developing world, with a global infection rate of 15,000 per day or 440,000 per month. 90% of those infected are not aware of their status. (GSK)
- Avert.org: In 1999 rates for heterosexual transmission overtook homosexual transmission in the UK.
- The largest number of AIDS cases and highest rates are in Sub-Saharan Africa. The largest transmission rate is among heterosexual women. The largest means of transmission is heterosexual sex.
- Indonesia is next for rates. There, needle-sharing is the largest, although these stats are skewed because the total number of cases is small, so fewer numbers are needed to result in large change percentages.
- In the United States, the largest increase in rates for a minority group was in African-Americans. (UNAIDS)
- Gay and bisexual men in several Western European countries and Australia account for the majority of new infections in those countries.
- Of new infections among men in the United States, CDC estimates that approximately 60 percent of men were infected through homosexual sex, 25 percent through injection drug use, and 15 percent through heterosexual sex. Of newly infected men, approximately 50 percent are black, 30 percent are white, 20 percent are Hispanic, and a small percentage are members of other racial/ethnic groups (CDC)
-Of new infections among women in the United States, CDC estimates that approximately 75 percent of women were infected through heterosexual sex and 25 percent through injection drug use. Of newly infected women, approximately 64 percent are black, 18 percent are white, 18 percent are Hispanic, and a small percentage are members of other racial/ethnic groups.(CDC)
-Men who have sex with men account for 5-10% of all HIV cases worldwide. (UNAIDS)
So the rates depend on the area. Globally, homosexual sex is not the highest means of transmission, due in large part to the massive epidemic in Africa, where heterosexual sex accounts for the majority. In the West, homosexual transmission rates are higher. The point, again, is that labelling AIDS as a gay disease is not helping to treat or eliminate it.
