Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    Statistically, it's true. AIDS and such.

    Bullshit. What about Syphilis? Al Capone died of it. Lots and lots of straight men had their brains rotted by a disease transmitted sexually. Bacteria and viruses just don't care -- they are not capable of caring -- they are only capable of reproduction in favorable environments, some of those environments are sexually related, some straight, some not, and some both ways. To point out HIV like some kind of sign, is sort of like an obese man bitching about people getting fat eating cake, while he stuffs cookies into his mouth.
