AIDS is a gay disease!

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi told the closing session of the second annual African Union conference on Saturday that Africans who are "straight" need not fear the Aids virus.

Speaking through a translator, Gadhafi drew some laughter with his reference to Aids only affecting homosexuals. He said Aids was being used by business "as trade to build up their wealth". "Don't try to use Aids as trade. All you have to do is observe the rules. If you are straight, you have nothing to fear from Aids," he said.

...and just when we were starting to get the idea that AIDS wasn't a gay disease, Moammar Gadhafi adds insight letting us know that it is indeed a gay disease. Thank you Moammar!!

I know that many people would love to think that it is those Godless homosexuals who is solely responsible for AIDS. Sorry folks, it just aint true. What is true is that we ended up getting most of the blame for the current situation of AIDS. That's tragic because in the first place, it simply isn't true. Secondly, while we are so busy pointing fingers at who cause all of this, AIDS has spread out of control. Now, the focus is on Africa. Below, I've given the first known sources of AIDS and the theory of its' origin. It never did come from gay people and spreading propaganda to that effect is just wrong.

Origin of AIDS
1926 - Some scientists believe HIV spread from monkeys to humans between 1926 - 1946. Recent research indicates HIV most probably first jumped from chimpanzees to humans as early as 1675 and didn't establish itself as an epidemic strain in Africa until 1930

1959 - A man died in the Congo in what researchers now say was the first proven AIDS death.

1978 - Gay men in the US and Sweden -- and heterosexuals in Tanzania and Haiti -- begin showing signs of what will later be called AIDS.

1980 - Deaths in US -- 31 (includes all known cases 1981 and before)

Not that it serves to prove anything, but this last point does give me a bit of satisfaction. When Ronald Reagan was President of the United States, he never once uttered the word "AIDS" in public. Not once. Why? Simple - because it was not a problem of "mainstream America" while he was president. The problem, in his view belonged solely to the homosexuals, a very unpopular group at the time.
1990 - Ronald Reagan apologizes for his neglect of the epidemic while he was president (US). He said this to AIDS activists at that time who promptly shouted back to him "...just go away and keep doing exactly what you have done, NOTHING! You had the power to make a difference, and you chose not too."

Global statistics on AIDS

Total number of AIDS deaths since the beginning of the epidemic until the end of 2001:
Total 21.8 Million
Adults 17.5 Million
Women 9 Million
Children <15 years 4.3 Million

Total number of AIDS orphans since the beginning of the epidemic until the end of 2001:
Total 14 Million

AIDS really isn't a gay problem - it never really was. In the United States, people have long wanted someone convenient to blame it on. The gay community made an easy target for that. Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, it ravaged uncontrollably. Where were we then? Now, all the sudden, President George W. Bush is very concerned about AIDS, almost overnight. Our President, just like Moammar Gadhafi is using AIDS as a political tool. The two are NO DIFFERENT!
