It definitely leaves some obsessed with some acts while they ineptly try to equivocate between those & the orientation.The only thing Marv ever unpacks is fudge.
Even as late as 2015, syphilis killed over 100k in a year, and that's *with* a cure in existence. So by his logic, heterosexuality is "harmful to humanity".
Of course the only difference between those two is the tech state of the cure - AIDS can now be staved off indefinitely, but, historically, syphilis has killed FAR more people.
So, again, using his logic, homosexuality won't be harmful anymore once its related STD is fully cured.
If the factor here is determined by the STDs having sex can carry, AIDS has a ways to go before it's in the lead. He never addresses this point because... y'know... this is more about using the issue to foment forum drama than it is any real concern about homosexuality.
Neither viruses nor bacteria give a shit about sexual orientation. They simply find ways to transmit from host to host, whether through mucus membranes or a shared needle or a blood transfusion.
The outbreak in the U.S., in scientific retrospect, started in the injecting drug users. There was an overlap with the gay community, and when it started amplifying there, the gay community became outspoken activists, something that injecting drug users weren't inclined to do. It was incorrectly labelled a 'gay' disease; it never was just a gay disease. Scientists knew that all along, only idiot homophobes still call it a gay disease after all these years.
And after all these years, that still pisses me off.
