Gay groups challenge HIV criminalization laws

[Katzndogz]

And that's bullshit...they (gays and anyone who is knowingly infected) may as well be allowed to wield a butcher knife and stab another without consequence.

You have just become an anti gay homophobic bigot.

Congratulations.

Hate speech! You have to tolerate us

Not at all.

That's a highly partisan and incorrect conclusion to draw from what she said.

She wielded a metaphor or analogy with considerable skill.

An HIV virus can kill you just like a butcher knife... it's just that the HIV virus takes longer.

She spoke truth - not hatred - and I didn't see one iota of 'phobia' nor 'bigotry' in what she wrote in that single sentence.

As a matter of fact, she referenced gays or anyone else who is infected - she was actually broadening the range of disease-carriers to take a bit of heat OFF the gays in this instance.

But you appear to have an 'agenda' on this topic that puts you into 'attack dog' mode a bit more quickly than I would have thought reasonable.

But that's just me - I like to rumble - and I could be wrong, so you can't go by me, either, I suppose.

Oops. I am trying to multitask this morning...I still stand that if a person is fully aware, and does not tell that he/she is HIV+ and knowingly infects another should be prosecuted to the fullest extent, and the public made aware of WHO he/she is by name and address...and should be made to register as a sex offender.

They are prosecuted for attempted murder, or murder if the person they infected dies. That's the law they want to repeal.

But I think that is a good law. If you have sex with someone knowing you are HIV positive and didn't tell them, you should be charged with murder when they die.

So why are gay groups wanting such laws repealed noomi?

I don't see any people saying it should be okay to have sex with someone without telling them if you have an infectious disease...

Wow, a thread like this realy brings out all the homophobes trying to rationalize their hate.

The first question I have is, did anyone ever get charged or convicted of spreading AIDS after these laws were passed?

I'm guessing not many.
