Recently, both the New York Times and USA Today reported on the first outbreak of AIDS among American college students. These students were disproportionately black and from the Southeastern United States. The information was revealed at an AIDS conference in San Francisco held in February 2004. The facts in themselves are disturbing: not only do black men (who have sex with men) make up 88% of these new college student AIDS cases, but a third of these men also have sex with women.

I believe Walter Massey was moreso refering to the verbal, physical, mental, and (out of context) scriptural gay bashing that takes place OFTEN in the BLACK CHURCH. Dont sit back and act as if you care about these LGBT men and women. And regardless of what you or anyone else who shares your veiws determines to be sin, its your duety to FIRST love God, SECOND love yourself, and THIRD to love your neighbor! ...you must have a true revelation from God to have substance in your words, and if there is no revelation then you have a duety to hold your silence! and contrary to popular opinion, what i eat dosn't make you sh*t! to each his own so, mind your business. Pss. IF YOU REALLY CARED, you would have helped me when i told you about being sexually assulted but you didn't so screw you and your opinions!

@Prince. What!? "...its your duety to FIRST love God, SECOND love yourself, and THIRD to love your neighbor!..." That doesn't make any sense. Where did you get that from? Certainly not the Bible, which it sounded like you tried to quote. Ummmm....sure...? "...you must have a true revelation from God to have substance in your words, and if there is no revelation then you have a duety to hold your silence!..." Where in the heck did you get that from? Your world view sounds a bit off. You're pulling definitive statements with out any substance to support your view. Don't let your offense to what somebody did or didn't do keep you from making a substantive argument.
