HOMOSEXUAL LEADER CALLS AIDS: "A GAY DISEASE"
BY ED VITAGLIANO - AFA Journal, April 2008
The head of a major homosexual group admitted for the first time
that
HIV/AIDS is "a gay disease," but added that he believed victory for
the full
range of the homosexual agenda was inevitable.
Matt Foreman , executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian
Task
Force (NGLTF, www.thetaskforce.org), the nation's oldest gay rights
group,
made the statements at the organization's national conference in
February.
Foreman's controversial statement about AIDS surprised even many of
the
conference attendees. He told them, "Folks, with 70% of the people in
this
country living with HIV being gay or bi(sexual), we cannot deny that
HIV is
a gay disease. We have to own that and face up to that."
That simple admission sparked a flurry of commentary from pro-
family
groups like AFA and Focus on the Family. For example, Gary Glenn,
president
of AFA of Michigan, said in a press release: "Despite medical data
identifying homosexual activity among males as by far the largest
single
source of HIV infection in the U.S., homosexual activists have
routinely
condemned conservative and public health organizations for
characterizing
the disease as being predominantly associated with and spread by
homosexual
behavior."
Glenn added that "Foreman should also publicly accept responsibility
for
professionally promoting a lifestyle that's medically associated with
a
dramatically higher risk of domestic violence, mental illness,
substance
abuse, eating disorders, life-threatening diseases such as AIDS,
cancer, and
hepatitis, and premature death by up to 20 years."
