By 2013 the researchers project that the total population of HIV-positive people attending NHS services will reach 78,370 and that in 2013 HIV treatment and care services will cost between £720 million and £758 million. But this would increase to as much as £1,065 million when the cost of social and community care was included.

Also, the number of new cases of HIV has actually fallen, however, a cause for concern is the increase in the number of new cases among men who have sex with men, and now accounts for approximately 50% of all new cases of HIV.

There's something that for a while has irked me slightly about the way you post, Equanimity.

I know several people have claimed you're Zek. I had no dealings with Zek back in the day so I'm not in a position to comment directly on his post style or identity. So far I've resisted passing any comment at all on the matter. However you do have this habit of typing material that sounds like it's been written by a man trying to understand how a teenage girl thinks and would therefore type. The result frequently being some grotesque parody of femininity; the vacuous and brain-dead kind of 'Barbie logic' you'd might expect to find on the Disney channel.

Which brings us back to the accusations of being Zek, a person allegedly trapped in a gender twilight zone. Maybe I'm way off the mark and you're just a women with an unfortunate habit of posting trite and saccharine nonsense.

Or maybe that's just how Sausage Barbie rolls?

Hope you're not too annoyed.  "Gay bashing" and homophobia in general is ridiculous subject matter, at least as it's being presented here.  To me the obvious "answer" in this mess of trolls and unfortunate ignorance is that it's just fine to love who you will.  And when I say love always wins in the end?  It's true.

As much as we pretend otherwise, it's human nature for love to win out over delusion and hate.  Much as interracial love was once taboo and is now largely celebrated the world over, homosexual and even polygamous or open love will eventually be accepted as normal and the homophobes will go down in history as the misguided bad guys.  You can't stand up against natural human love and expect to win.  The most you'll do is prolong the inevitable.

If believing and trusting in love is trite, then I'll be your unapologetic cliché

Nope.....like a special ops sniper you hit your mark right between the eyes with deadly accuracy. Confirmed kill

Hey MISTER moderator....save us the hippy trippy feel good rhetoric that has ZERO practical application in the real world...and go do your fuckin job. Scroll back and witness there is still PI in this thread....remove it, or else further the notion of how utterly useless and incompetent you are in your position.

It has been discussed and taken care of, though maybe I should remove it for being spam.

I opened the last page of this thread and assumed I'd accidentally opened some shitty tumblr

[equanimity]

it's human nature for love to win out over delusion and hate.

If the opposite were true, the human race wouldn't have lasted this long.  Most of us are the result of individual acts of human love.

you mean like rape?

Even though I agree somewhat with that. There are bacteria and viruses and other very "loveless" life forms which are much older then the human race and will most likely outlive us without the need for love,

Plus, if it truly was "human nature for love to win" we would live in Utopia and not in Reality land were people kill out of joy and greed. We'd just all love each other which is clearly not the case in the real world.

The progress you described is nothing new either. Many empires had more open minded views on sexuality and love then the modern western world. Look at India today and you'll see a bunch of sick shit on every corner. The same goes for China.

Much as interracial love was once taboo and is now largely celebrated the world over

Interracial love is nowhere "celebrated" let alone all over the world. Maybe in some hipster cities in the US and Europe but the rest of the world hates that shit.

That's just wishfull thinking on your part.

I especially like how it is implied that if we are not 100% accepting of faggotry, that we are 'homophobes'.

HIV is obviously a legitimate concern both in the direct deaths it produces and the societal burden imposed by those who have it. The higher frequency of HIV among gay men also can't be ignored. But I suspect what you want to say is more than "aids is bad, gays have aids". If HIV just didn't exist would you consider homosexuality perfectly permissible?
