Fucking moron.
It turns out that Frey has a longstanding theory that sperm extrude a "burning" enzyme that's only neutralized when the sperm meets an egg. When sperm are running around loose in somebody's anus, they burn everything and cause AIDS. According to Raw Story's David Edwards, Frey said:
It's more about sodomy than about pigeonholing a lifestyle. When you have egg and sperm that meet in conception, there's an enzyme in the front that burns through the egg. The enzyme burns through so the DNA can enter the egg ... [But when the] sperm is deposited anally ... it's the enzyme that causes the immune system to fail. That's why the term is AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
As a science fiction fan, I like this theory. But I feel like it needs to be fleshed out more. I'm curious about what happens to all the sperm that don't meet up with eggs during vaginal sex. Also, I would like to know whether swallowing sperm after oral sex causes ulcers.
It's actually possible that Frey learned about this theory from his son Mike, who offered this testimony against gay marriage last year.

It's because every time he's had sex, the woman has cried out in agony, except when his wife really, really wanted to get pregnant, then she kept quiet. Wack job theory thus easily explained by one simple fact: he is lousy in bed.

Before running for office, his biggest political success was helping Michele Bachmann dismantle the Profiles in Learning program in Minnesota, which was designed to promote higher standards in education by requiring minimum competence in skills like basic reading, writing, and math for all graduates from state high schools.

Later in the video, the narrator repeats what Frey told Minn Post almost verbatim: When sperm enters the digestive system, it is quickly absorbed into the blood. It is the enzyme in the sperm that causes the immune system to fail. AIDS stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

Neither Frey nor his Republican opponent, Jim Nash, were able to clench their partys nomination earlier this year, which means the men will battle it out in a primary scheduled in August. District 47A is heavily Republican, which means that, if he can beat Nash, Frey has a very good shot at actually being elected.

And you probably don't want to know.
(And here we all thought it was just about sticking notes in the "pigeonholes" of old-fashioned desks.)

(43,049 posts)separate his feelings about homosexuality from his odd health theories. i.e. it's OK to be homosexual, just don't do certain dangerous acts.
Doesn't make any difference what we think-- it probably works for his district.
