The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association, on its Web site (http://glma.org/), offers two surprisingly informative documents: One, “Top 10 Things Gay Men Should Discuss with their Healthcare Provider,” and the other, “Top 10 Things Lesbians Should Discuss with their Healthcare Provider.”
Three quotes from the former: 1) “[M]en who have sex with men are at an increased risk of HIV infection. ... [T]he last few years have seen the return of many unsafe sex practices.”
2) “Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) occur in sexually active gay men at a high rate. This includes ... syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, pubic lice, ... Hepatitis A, B or C virus, Human Papilloma Virus, etc.”
3) “Gay men may be at risk for death by prostate, testicular or colon cancer. ... (And there are) increased rates of anal cancers in gay men.”
Two quotes from the latter:
1) “Lesbians have the richest concentration of risk factors for breast cancer than any subset of women in the world.”
2) “Lesbians have higher risks for many of the gynecologic cancers.”
Perhaps those intolerant, judgmental, censorious and bigoted students who want a librarian fired for having a “case against homosexuality” blog should try to censor the GLMA.
When are the ADULTS in this country who believe in the First Amendment going to put the discriminatory, pro-homosexual fascists in their place? Enough is enough.
