A ban on sex between men should be introduced in order to help prevent the spread of AIDS

I would like to extend my thanks to Draxxt for posting such an impassioned and comprehensive rebuttal, or perhaps I should say "response" - I don't want to give any militant gay rights activists reading this the impression that I am mocking the afflicted with butt-related puns! Furthermore, I accept the definitions my opponent provided. His observations, on the other hand, were a bit spurious but I'll let them pass for now and instead deal with them as part of my main arguments. So, to address my opponent's first contention that the majority of AIDS victims live in sub-Saharan Africa and there are roughly equal numbers of men and women who have the disease. This may be true, but the reasons are as follows: 1 – Until the late 19th or early 20th Century AIDS was confined to non-human primates in Africa but then one day (presumably) some dirty nonce went into the jungle and bummed a monkey, contracting the disease in the process and subsequently spreading it amongst the human population of Africa where it has had a longer time to develop than in the West. http://en.wikipedia.org... 2 – The availability of condoms in Africa is limited and even where they are available men are often reluctant to use them for religious reasons. 3 – The political classes in Africa attach little importance to educating the population about the danger of AIDS. Indeed, when he was President of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki consistently refused to accept that HIV leads to AIDS and claimed not to know anyone with the disease, even though South Africa actually has the highest number of AIDS sufferers in the world. http://news.bbc.co.uk... 4 – Sexual promiscuity is culturally acceptable in many African tribes which means there is much more opportunity for AIDS to be spread around the female population by bi-sexual males. My opponent's second contention that a ban on homosexual sex would lead to a ban on heterosexual sex fails on two counts: 1 – Despite my opponent's claims to the contrary, I provided proof in R1, and further evidence is provided herein below, that gay men are far more likely to contract AIDS than normal men and that's why they must be targeted. 2 – Heterosexual sex enables the most vital function of the human race to be performed – that is reproduction. The anal antics of homosexual gentlemen, on the other hand, are purely recreational - one man taking another man up the ‘Gary Glitter' serves no biological function whatsoever and, as we know, while it can result in deaths it can never result in the birth of a new human life. Moving on, I was interested to learn that my opponent is friends with Elton John. Interested, but not surprised. Elton John loves hanging around with young men, as the embedded YouTube clip demonstrates. ;) Coming back to the prevalence of AIDS in men of homosexual persuasion (who persuaded them, I don't know) Centres for Disease Control and Prevention established that the primary transmission of HIV (which leads to AIDS) in the United States was through "male-to-male sexual contact". http://www.cdc.gov... This is why AIDS used to be known as "Gay-Related Immune Deficiency" (GRID). However, the gay mafia and their apologists in government and the media didn't want homosexual men to be stigmatised by holding them responsible for this monstrous pandemic and insisted in changing the name of the disease to disguise the truth. http://www.avert.org...# This is rather similar to the way the fat refuse to accept that the fact that lazing about gorging on junk food and guzzling beer and sodas all day is the reason they are overweight. Instead they claim they are just "big-boned". Funny how very few "big-boned" refugees you see fleeing famine-ridden countries though, isn't it? In conclusion, until gay men and their fawning lackeys in the Government and the media stop denying that gay sex is primarily responsible for the spread of AIDS, nothing can be done to stop it. Surely, it is now high time that the politicians woke up and smelled the coffee and realised that the lives of innocent people are more important than the right of homosexual gentlemen to bugger each other? In short, they must duly introduce legislation to outlaw gay sex, at least until a cure for AIDS is found. Thank you. http://www.youtube.com...
