Anti-HIV, not Anti-gay

The “letter” below was a response to a certain “clueless” person who continues to whine “unfair!!” and wrings her/his hands recently in another discussion forum (not a blogsite). People continue to wring their hands thinking Kokonut Pundits bloggings are all about gay bashing in the attempt to paint me as “anti-gay.” If I were, I would certainly let you know about it. However, this is hardly the truth.

People continue with their whinny attitudes falling prey to their own “victimhood” mentality by playing the professional victim again and again on what I write is “unfair” rather than subscribe to the popular notion that everybody has an opinion.

It’s ludicrous to watch people who would read my blogs and turn around and accuse me falsely while at the same time and proclaim “Ima victim of his persecution!” Get real. And so it comes down to this. I have no choice but to spell it out to those who are absolutely clueless who have not kept pace with my blogging from the beginning. Either that or they have a severe case of selective reading. Some changes were made in the “letter” below to address the broader audience here.


1) Please, folks, don’t you tell me on what to do or say in my blog. If you have an interest, for example, on obesity and the health problems associated with it, go ahead a blog about those issues. HIV spreads and multiplies. Smoking and obesity problems do not spread virally. Or provide porno blow by blow description about your fantasy life, go ahead. Or match your educational equivalent starting with the letter “F”. I have my own interests that I cater to and one of them is about the spread of HIV based on risky sex practices or lifestyles that would contribute to the spread of HIV. These types of behaviors helped contribute to the world epidemic spread of HIV by folks of all persuasion. Are people still blind about that?


2) What I address is the consequences of having a risky sexual lifestyle regardless if a person is homosexual, heterosexual, bi, trans or what have you’s. I don’t care what people do in their own bedrooms. It’s their bedrooms, not mine. However, that doesn’t mean I am not allowed to comment about the spread of HIV (or STDs), unborn babies, the virtues of abstinence, faithfulness or a one partner/spouse. But, hey, if they want to have multiple partners knowing full well about the risk of HIV and end up contracting HIV, the fault lies with the person who made the decision to engage in such a risky proposition. People need to take responsibility of their own actions and say “mea culpa” and be a man, so to speak. Accountability is one thing. Blaming others (e.g. “stress”) is to deny their own responsibility. No one forced anybody (aside from rape) when it comes to consensual and informed sex. Learn to accept the consequences of your actions.


If I want to address that having a single partner is much, much safer than having multiple partners, I’ll do it:

If I want I’ll address the virtues and merits of the ABC method I’ll do it despite the fact I mentioned that I’m supremely confident we’ll find a cure for AIDS someday but provided a caveat:

If I want I’ll address how many gay people refuse to face the stark reality of HIV risk when many of them are unaware that they’re infected, I’ll do it:

If I want to address risky practices that can reduce life expectancy whether it’s sky-diving, smoking or playing tag with a grizzly bear I’ll do it:
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2005/06/homosexual-life-expectancy-shrinks-by.html

If I want to I’ll congratulate the GLBT group for starting a persecution awareness campaign on Islamic countries that commit atrocities against homosexuals, I’ll do it:

Even now, the GLBT group is starting an awareness "campaign" on this practices in Muslim-run and government controlled countries. Good for them. Count yourselves very fortunate to be living in America.

If I want to express the ludicrousness about “gay” courses or those who purposely chase after HIV so they won’t feel “left” out I’ll do it:

If I want to express that a one partner system would make sense rather than engage in risky multiple-partners I will:
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2005/02/nyt-screams-alarm-about-new-aids.html


If I want to express that I feel that abstinence is a doable goal I’ll do it:
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2005/02/survey-saidthe-abstinence-only.html


If I want to show the myth that Reagan never done anything about HIV I’ll do it:

And, now, if I were to cite HIV and abstinence studies, AIDS deaths, and what not, how does that make me “anti-gay”? How would reporting today’s news about the spread of HIV or the success of abstinence in Uganda constitute as an “anti-gay” motive?

Would reporting on the number of Americans with HIV now over 1 million (more than at the height of the HIV “epidemic”) in a news release yesterday by the CDC be constituted as an “anti-gay” stance? Hardly.

People, stop wringing your hands and accept the fact that HIV is one bad dude. None of my blogs commenting on HIV, abstinence, health studies, faithfulness or a one partner/spouse concept are about bashing gay. Hardly, please remove your heads out of the sand.

What I bash is on lack of common sense by people who engage in risky sexual practices. Granted, they can do whatever they want and justify their actions when it comes to consensual and informed sex. Once a person gets HIV, he or she can only blame him/herself.

Now, I don’t wish HIV/STDs on anyone. I never did. I have no desire to do so. AIDS is a horrible result caused by the HIV virus that can ravage the body. I don’t jump in glee when someone dies (e.g. old age, disease, heart attack, accidents, etc). Neither do I jump in glee by those who contract HIV, melanoma, Alzheimer, or cancer just because I dislike a particular person because of his or her political views and beliefs in America. People who do that are simply mentally sick people. They resort to their own breakdown on logic by lashing out death wishes or go about “high-fivings” upon hearing deaths of well known personalities because they “deserved it”. Or proclaim "good riddance." WTF??

Sick. You know that. Other people know that. But many people just don’t want to admit it.

Now, you can debate me but calling names or wish deaths upon people not politically agreeable to you is not a sign of an intelligent person.

But mark my words, continue reading future comments and you will see people continue to smear me as “anti-gay” solely because of my political view and beliefs when in fact I'm "anti-HIV."
