    I agree with this completely. I just often see HIV infection as a way people use to demonize homosexuality. I think it would be best (for people who choose) to demonize high risk behaviors instead of a sexuality.

    I am in no way saying you (or others) are demonizing homosexuality, just having a conversation.

      It's only a matter of time before HIV, or whatever the new virus will be, results in the complete banishment of sexual intercourse, and the only way to create life is through a test tube.

          Fair enough. Appreciate the dialogue. I don't agree with demonizing folks on either side of this or other issues.

                      If it was at a Catholic College, or at any college where the doctrinal statements say its a no-no (BYU or Liberty come to mind), then yes, for the simple reason that the speaker should never should have been invited in the first place.

                      The same could be said if you had Jane Fonda give a keynote at a VFW convention. Somebody would raise holy heck.

                        It's called the golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules.

                            Hopefully no one would think of trying to dictate to this gal who/what she can or can't marry.

                                My definition of marriage... being with the one you want to be with for the rest of your lives. For good and for bad.

To put it another way, if MNS ever gets any, he'll appreciate the experience on a far deeper level than the rest of us did when it was our first time, simply because he's gone far longer and failed far more than we ever did.
