Matt Foreman is the executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and has recently admitted to the public at his organization's national conference February meeting that HIV/AIDS is a "gay disease."
His statement regarding AIDS surprised many of the attendees when he said, “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.”
So now when we, who are not in this lifestyle, repeat this it can't be considered hate speech right? I mean this is not a surprise to the general public. We've been saying this for years and have been told it's not politically correct to do so and that it's hateful to say such things. All along it wasn't hateful...it was truthful.
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.”
Some of the activists are agreeing with Foreman's original statement. Sean Strub, founder of a "gay" magazine said: “What Matt meant was we as a gay community have to take more responsibility for the epidemic. Too much of the (gay) community has relegated the epidemic as some other community’s concern.”
Later on in another interview, however, Foreman said “I don’t blame our community for the fact that MSM [men who have sex with men] still account for nearly three quarters of men living with HIV,” Foreman said. “I hold our government accountable” for failing to deal effectively with the AIDS crisis.
So whose fault is it really? Why is it ok now to admit all this? Does the success of the "gay" agenda, now make this admission possible? He certainly did alot of crowing about the inevitable success of the activists as they have more and more cities and states passing laws in their favor. He went on to say:
“Look at our progress in the percentage of the U.S. population covered by a law that protects people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation – 0% in 1970, 4% in 1980, 12% in 1990, 28% in 2000 and today 52% – over half the U.S. population now has these protections."
Yes, look at that. Are we getting more and more progressive or more and more accepting of sinful behavior? I guess it depends on which side you're on.
The success of wealthy, gay rights activists like Jon Stryker and Tim Gill, who have successfully targeted for removal candidates who refuse to accept the gay agenda, was a highlight of Foreman’s speech. These activists, he said, have “helped fund campaigns to take out bigots and elect pro-LGBT candidates. All of this was done over the well-funded, homophobic attack machine of America’s anti-gay industry.”
Where's the hate speech police when you need em'?
