Dr. Bert Chapman, a professor of Library Science at Purdue University, has finally glommed on to a way to convince folks that gay sex, and the homosexual lifestyle, is immoral. As a Christian, he already believes the Bible deems it so. But what with all this insistence on secular thought and policy making, it’s time to bust out some hard facts that nobody can deny. Namely, that gays and their AIDS plague are causing an economic meltdown as America struggles to survive a recession!
To Chapman, same-sex sex is “morally aberrant sexual behavior.” Which is why he finds it terribly convenient to push forth a few myths about AIDS (“the gay disease”!) and economics. Of course, Chapman, an ardent Rep. Joe Wilson defender, is doing it via blog, a web publishing platform the gays probably invented.
U.S. Government expenditures on this disease have risen from $200,000 in Fiscal Year 1980-1981 to $23.3 billion for Fiscal Year 2008. These figures have increased steadily over nearly three decades and probably exceed $100 billion. When you factor in what countries all over the world have spent on seeking to diminish this disease, without recognizing the morally aberrant sexual behavior causing its spread, we are probably looking at expenditures of over $1 trillion dollars. Think of how much constructively such money could have been spent on public health issues such as improved sanitation, immunizations, and other more worthwhile programs instead of promoting immoral and self-destructive behavior through needle exchanges and widespread condom distribution. The money wasted on AIDS research could be returned to taxpayers or transferred to more worthwhile areas of public health research such as cancer, heart disease, and combating pandemic conditions like H1N1 flu. Our ongoing U.S. political debate over health care reform also needs to factor in the economic costs of homosexual and other sexually deviant behaviors on our health care system in terms of pharmaceutical drugs, tainted blood supplies, and requiring doctors and nurses to treat sexually transmitted diseases which would not occur if people practiced chastity outside of heterosexual marriage and monogamy within such marriage.
Ugh, and then there’s all you homos wanting health insurance. (Sound familiar?)
The sad practice of so many companies and universities adopting domestic partner benefits in a misguided effort to attract employees drives up insurance costs for these companies and prevents them from providing additional coverage to those of us adhering to traditional sexual moral standards. It also requires these companies to pass on the costs of their goods and services beyond normal inflationary trends. Additionally, it also probably makes it more difficult for them to expand their businesses and create additional jobs in an economy coping with near double digit unemployment rates.
And if that weren’t enough …
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The homosexual lifestyle also affects areas such as life insurance, estate planning, real estate, and investments as firms providing these services have to factor in how to treat same sex domestic partner issues into their cost calculations. Guess who has to pay for these increased costs and potentially lower investment returns? We do, regardless of whether or not we approve of the homosexual lifestyle.
We’re going to leave much of this alone, because 1) the idiocy is self-evident; and 2) the blog Blag Hag has already done a decent job tearing apart the arguments.
But it’s always worth pointing out just how opaque the blinders are that folks like Chapman wear. This is a man who, as a Christian, supports an organization that receives tax-exempt status, meaning it’s able to collect unlimited sums of cash without giving anything back to the government. And you know who pays for that? We do, regardless of whether or not we approve of the Christian lifestyle.
Oh, did we mention Chapman was recently seen stomping on Ted Kennedy’s grave?

Since much of that money goes to help AIDS in Africa, where it is a Hetrosexual disease, people that are supportive of charities over there would seem to owe thank you to the gay groups that pushed for more support for AIDS and AIDS charities.
As to this idiots comments “The homosexual lifestyle also affects areas such as life insurance, estate planning, real estate, and investments as firms providing these services have to factor in how to treat same sex domestic partner issues into their cost calculations.

Well fair is fair, I don’t have kids and don’t go to your church but my taxes go to support schools and allow your chuch to have tax exempt status so guess it all comes clean in the wash doesn’t it?

What a fucking moron. Why do they let idiots like this teach?
I propose the institution of a douchebag evaluation before hiring someone as a college professor. If someone is a bigoted asshole, they fail. Quite simple, really.

I feel totally other about this. Thank G-D we got it first! (and I say that as someone who lost a family memebr,a nd several loved ones). I know that little of this will make sense to the younger folk here– but as an old fag, let me tell you: We CREATED HIV treatment modalities, funding avenues for research and treatment, what few political protections we have, etc. All these ideas that are main stream now, like the whole concept of “case management”, support groups for care providers, meals on wheels, HOSPICE. ALL this came from us,or was popularized by us, and the funding came from tip jars, bake sales, and donations at street fairs and parades. the straights? How well have they dealt with cancer? CHV? Birth defects? If HIV had hit them first, it could have been MUCH worse, because they aren’t willing to coordinate on anything. Fags saved the world, I think.

I think all the $$$ spent on HIV/AIDS would have been better spent to have built a time machine so that quack Chapman could go back in time and help Hitler win WWII so that none of this would be an issue! We would all be homogenized, ‘straight’, ‘christian’ and everyone outside of the societal definition of perfect or acceptable would be instantly put to death or put in a work camp until they were dead. AHHHH, neocon fascist pundit utopia! I’m sure that dick has had wet dreams about that idea! People like him and Reps. Foxx and Bachmann are the real terrorists in our country and will be responsible for the deaths of millions if they and their ideals are seriously considered as valid options to common sense and democracy! PLEASE AMERICA, WAKE THE FUCK UP & STOP GIVING THESE IDIOTS A PLATFORM TO SPEW THEIR UGLY RHETORIC!!!!

Because we all know straight people dont get, carry and spread AIDS. Everyone knows that HIV only becomes AIDS when inside of a gay person. Seriously, these idiots line of thought is downright comical sometimes.

You know, I’ve never met a lesbian who had AIDS. Maybe domestic partner benefits should be reserved only for us. These straight people are driving up my insurance rates. Blah blah money money jesus blah.

When I was a kid in the 80s I asked my mom what AIDS was and she told me that it was god’s punishment for gay men. Come to find out she thought I was gay then and just trying to pressure me (though this and other means) into a loveless faux-hetero lifestyle. I hate her.
Schteve
If he’s all for saving money, perhaps he would rather see the even larger sums the military has be better spent. Otherwise his whole economics argument doesn’t even make sense to himself.
Which isn’t too surprising, given that he doesn’t know how some basics of economics work. Why would he complain about companies offering insurance benefits to same-sex partners? The more people that are covered, the more the average price per person for that coverage DECREASES. Idiot.

So, they are saying that AIDS was around before the Bible?
