[@ShamiAmourae]

Google "Bugchasing".

[@UnionAdvocate]

Dan Savage was born in 1964. He’s a boomer, not a Gen-X. Gen-X began in 1965.

[@glencora6340]

It's debatable. 1964 is one start date.

[@LaJiahao]

this guys chin I'd absolutely insane! I would throw myself under a bus if I had to look at that in a mirror everyday damn m

[@aslanburnley]

+Razor Jimmy Are you a homosexual?

[@aslanburnley]

Razor Jimmy SO you are one of them?

[@davidhampel8436]

The buzz word among Italian gays is "innuendo".

[@timas4982]

oo oo guys it's absolutely banned

[@josephang9927]

I'm gay, bit I'm sorry: if gays are promiscuous and are not careful, thats THEIR OWN problem, not mine, not of the state, notf others gays, not of God. Same with obesity: you are responsable for it. Even if it is caused by thyroid, you can choose medicine and exercise. You are aware of the harm. Why should I be aware of you not taking care of yourself?

[@aslanburnley]

+Joseph Ang How do you know that it is only their problem? Because you said so? Nice ipse dixit.

[@NotAnotherKuromi]

/+Joseph Ang I agree with the comment about obesity but not aids. It is not only gay people that can catch aids, so it makes sense to get rid of it. What about men that sleep with men & women, do those women deserve getting it? What about a married man that secretly goes & has sex with men behind his wife's back, does she deserve getting aids? Then there are doctors trying to save lives & other people who do not even get it through sexual contact... Aids is an epidemic, so it has become everyone problem.

[@josephang9927]

+aslan Because they don't used condoms. That's the reason I know its their problem.

[@josephang9927]

Dear Sammy, I'm talking aboit the gay community as a whole, not at the individual level. I just say that ON average gays are more IRRESPONSABLE and promiscuous about sex, so they get more sexual desease. This all add up so even innocent gays get deseases.

[@NotAnotherKuromi]

All individual cases add up though, so a lot more people end up being effected than just the promiscuous ones who aren't safe. (Like you, if your boyfriend cheated on you behind your back & caught an STD it would not be your fault.) I was saying that innocent gay people and innocent straight people get aids too. So no matter who is to blame, it needs to be treated/eradicated. Also btw most gay people do not like to be referred to as 'gays'

[@Charlesdeluca]

why he talk about gay people as if they were another species or someone special?

[@aslanburnley]

+Charles Gibson Why do you talk about them like they are part of our species or someone normal? You sound like an advocate.

[@obviouslyblack]

+Charles Gibson Because this video is about the AIDS epidemic, and how it affected the gay population differently from the straight population. Were you paying attention? How else do you suggest he contrast the groups?

[@Charlesdeluca]

WTF AIDS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING GAY THAT'S RIDICULOUS THERE ISN'T A PRE REQUIREMENT SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TO BE GAY TO CATCH AIDS

[@MikeSmith-ve2qu]

But gays did spread it like wildfire.

[@josephang9927]

+Elizabeth Pedroza And what's your point

[@GumbysImperialMedia]

+Elizabeth Pedroza Queerer than 3 dollar bills!

[@He-is-Center]

they have eyes to see but do not see, ears to hear but do not hear. Hear what the spirit has to say (Jesus/God) I saw hell it really exist repent and God will cleanse you of all unrighteousness!

[@JamesRJKR]

+Campbell Dixon What the fuck are you going on about? You crazy bat.

[@He-is-Center]

[@aslanburnley]

+James R YOLO 4 J, YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE FOR JESUS

[@ShamiAmourae]

Google "Bugchasing".

[@EHCBunny4real]

+Odinwolfe Aren't all promiscuous people bug chasing? It's not because of who you love. It's about the number of lovers.

[@Odin50Cal]

+EH CBunny I think it's more about targetting those who are infected and then engaging with them. Not so much the amount of partners, because you can have plenty of partners and avoid illnesses, not with 100% success, however.

[@EHCBunny4real]

Google it. Promiscuity increases your odds on being infected. www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1035336/Record-rise-sexual-diseases-promiscuous-young-adults.html I know Gay monogamous men who never had an STD.
