FRC to sheeple: Be afraid! Foreign gay athletes want to give you AIDS!

On the "know your enemy" principle, I held my nose and signed up for the Family Research Council's email alerts. Their latest diatribe has them rousing their followers to "protect public health". Now that's ironic, coming from the stop-the-cervical-cancer-vaccine-because-sex-should-be-deadly crowd.

Bush Administration needs to put public health above political correctness
March 15, 2006 | Refer a Friend

Imagine my surprise when I learned that the U.S. Government has granted "Designated Event Status" to the 2006 Gay Games to be held in Chicago this July. The "Gay Games" are an event known as much for after-hours sexual activity as for on-field athletic competition. In fact, on the official Chicago Gay Games web site just as much emphasis is put on "entertainment" as on the event itself. This entertainment includes links to bathhouses and clubs where illicit and illegal activity is allowed.

Special foreign visitor status comes with privileges for the several thousand who will travel to the U.S. - a federal blanket waiver that permits non-U.S. citizens with HIV/AIDS to enter the United States to participate in or observe the Gay Games. Those travelers are eligible to apply for a single-entry B-2 travel visa that is valid from a week before the quadrennial event until six days after the closing date. The tragedy is that there are Americans who may well be infected with a deadly disease as a direct result of this most unwise decision. Why should this administration feel the need to bow to the politically correct crowd?

Please contact the Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman within the Department of Homeland Security. Ask the office to revoke this almost unprecedented waiver. Human lives are at stake.

Bush Administration needs to put public health above political correctness

Sincerely,

Tony Perkins
President

P.S. The Department of Homeland Security needs to hear from tens of thousands of American about admitting HIV-positive tourists to these irresponsible "Gay Games." Help us flood DHS with messages against this unwise and unnecessary risk to public health.

I think that this is the event they're trying to shut down.

2. Well....

I daresay it would be difficult to contract AIDS from the aforementioned gay athletes unless one engaged in the aforementioned after-hours sexual activity with them. Really Tony, it's not that hard. Use protection if you're worried. :eyes:
