MN Republican bases economic agenda on theory that sperm enzymes in anus causes AIDS

A Republican candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives repeated a false theory this week that AIDS was caused by sperm enzymes entering the anus of another male.

Bob Frey, who cites his work in helping Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) to defeat a “profiles in learning” education program as a major accomplishment, told the MinnPost that his opposition to the “gay agenda” was about the “financial impact of that agenda.”

“It’s more about sodomy than about pigeonholing a lifestyle,” he explained. “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 Frey said that it was a different story when the “sperm is deposited anally” because “it’s the enzyme that causes the immune system to fail.”

1. Stupid and baseless

1. No scientific evidence for such a claim

2. Globally AIDS is a heterosexual disease; man to man transmission is a global minority of cases

3. Lesbians? Aren't they part of the "gay agenda"?

4. Heterosexual couples engage in anal intercourse on a more frequent basis than many would believe

5. Gay male sex is not just or maybe not even predominantly anal sex. Gay male sex is as broad as heterosexual and includes oral, manual and other forms of sexual stimulation

6. HIV and AIDS related costs in the U.S. as it relates to the gay male population have plummeted as the costs of heterosexual cases, especially among men and women of color have skyrocketed

Once again they just spew talking points without regard to facts.
