WASHINGTON, D.C., September 13, 2013 (_Americans for Truth_
(http://americansfortruth.com/) ) - The above is a graphic from a _CDC_
(http://www.cdc.gov/) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) online
slide presentation
, _“HIV Surveillance in Adolescents and Young Adults”_
(http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/statistics_surveillance_Adolescents.pdf) [1] –
breaking down the
incidence of HIV among young men ages 13-24. In 2011, an astonishing 94.9
percent of HIV diagnoses among teenage boys (13-19-years-old) were linked to
homosexual (“male-to-male”) sex. And 94.1 percent of the cases among young
men ages 20-24 (more analysis below) were from “gay” sex.
With the incidence of HIV among men so closely tied to homosexual sex,
shouldn’t the government and all concerned and compassionate adults be urging
young men and teenaged boys not to engage in or experiment with dangerous
homosexual behavior? And yet, the CDC and other pro-”gay” institutions
(including many schools public and private) are doing exactly the opposite, as
they focus instead on affirming “gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender”
youth as a “sexual minority.”
Feds Fund ‘Gay’ Youth Activist Groups
Another CDC document, _“HIV and Young Men Who Have Sex with Men”_
(http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/sexualbehaviors/pdf/hiv_factsheet_ymsm.pdf)
(June
2012), reports that in 2011, the CDC awarded funds to two homosexual
activists groups — the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (_GLSEN_
(http://www.glsen.org/) ) and the Gay-Straight Alliance Network (_GSAN_
(http://www.gsanetwork.org/) ) — “to assist CDC-funded public health and
environmental changes to help schools and communities meet the health and
medical
needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth.” See this _CNSNews
article_
(http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/taxpayer-money-will-help-homosexual-activists-establish-safe-spaces-public-schools)
on the CDC grant.
With HIV rates growing among YMSM (young men who have sex with men), the
CDC’s focus on building self-esteem among LGBT youth and creating a “
positive school climate” for homosexuals — includes forming “gay”-affirming
clubs in schools — seems disconnected from reality. The aforementioned CDC
report on HIV and YMSM states:
Gay-straight alliances (GSAs) are one approach being used to create safe
and welcoming school environments. Research has shown that in schools with
support groups such as GSA’s, lesbian, gay and bisexual students were less
likely to experience threats of violence, miss school because they felt
unsafe, or attempt suicide than those in schools without such groups.
In the same report, the CDC identifies the behaviors among young
homosexuals that are causing the escalating HIV rates:
A CDC analysis of date from 13 YRBS [Youth Risk Behavior Survey] sites
found that sexual minority students, especially those who identified as
homosexual or bisexual, were disproportionately likely to engage in many
health
risk behaviors, including sexual risk behaviors (such as having sexual
intercourse for the first time at younger ages, having multiple sex partners,
and not using condoms); tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use; and behaviors
related to attempted suicide.
Elsewhere in the CDC report it touts CDC funding for “school health
professionals…to help them understand the needs of lesbian, gay, and bisexual
youth and shape behavioral messages accordingly.” But those behavioral messages
apparently do not include discouraging students from engaging in
homosexual sex.
Elephant in the room
The chasm between the obvious and extreme health risks associated with “gay”
male sex and the CDC’s politically correct, pro-homosexuality mindset
reflects public policy malpractice on an Orwellian scale. “Gay” activist
ideology and assumptions — including intrinsic (many would claim innate) “gay”
/bi/transgender identities — go unquestioned at the CDC. Ironically, the
most direct answer to the HIV-youth crisis — teaching young people NOT to
practice unhealthy homosexual sex — is the one thing that is essentially
forbidden.
All across America, “gay” activists and their straight liberal allies are
advocating “gay”-positive lesson plans and strategies in response to
anti-homosexual bullying. However, while everyone can agree that all bullying
is wrong, many “anti-bullying” programs double as pro-LGBT affirmation
programs. This is troubling because: 1) bullying can be discouraged with
neutral messaging that does not promote “out and proud” homosexuality and
transgenderism; and 2) in the name of “safety,” educators and cultural elites
are advocating a sexual lifestyle that has continually been shown to be
dangerous, particularly for males.
