Op-ed: Zachary Quinto, Check Your Privilege on HIV

There are things a lot worse than infectious viruses. I suspect that when the *equality* Ideology/era is done...it'll prove to be every bit as bad as any virus.

Mud on the evolutionary wall.

My father died of an AIDS-related illness. My mentors knew Spencer Cox while he was in college. My friends are on New York State's task force on AIDS. I frick activists.

Isn’t any consensual sex that isn’t for procreation, by definition, recreational sex? Even some sex that has the potential for procreation is recreational — hell, the whole reason sex feels good is because biology wants us to frick ourselves into perpetual existence.

that is kind of an ironic argument coming from a gay person. don't go too far down that rabbit hole, sir

the pure fear of progressives to avoid having to face actual consequence of individual decision making is just insane. that's all that this op-ed does...try to promote the narrative that engaging in risky behavior is not a factor in exposing yourself to the risk itself. the author is trying to turn this into a "them" v "us" scenario with gays v. straights, b/c it's easier to blame a self-created "privilege" than to admit that the behavior generally discuss is risky, but the behavior of that social group is simply riskier

basically, he wants to live in a world of the risk of a straight male when he is not a straight male. he's stomping his feet and whining that it isn't fair that his preference in sexual behavior is riskier, because he fears that admitting it is different means it is...well different.

i'm pro gay rights and i think the anti-gay marriage belief system is bankrupt. however, this argument is just as bankrupt. if you're a gay man, engaging in sexual behavior is risky. engaging in promiscuous and unprotected sex is VERY risky. if you're upset about this fact, then do what quinto suggests (minimize your risk by engaging in sex with partners you know to be free from HIV, which means monogamous relationships, or always use protection)

Stopped reading after that. It's clickbait. Oppression Olympics.

Self reflection is a good thing now and then. Luckily no single person is the lone voice for the gay rights movement....some just have vastly bigger soap boxes than others.

but male-male gay sex is a very risky behavior and that is a scientific fact

This is true. Practice safe sex and live a healthy life. I don't see a problem with that message.
