http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=939436A United Nations Aids agency complains that homosexuals, drug users and prostitute don't seek help because of laws that criminalize their practices.
Michel Sidibe of UNAIDS is quoted as saying it is unacceptable that 85 countries still make homosexual conduct illegal, but Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), does not accept that thinking.
Peter LaBarbera"They've got everything backwards," he contends. "Rather than have a campaign - for example an anti-sodomy campaign, an anti-prostitution campaign, an anti-drug abuse campaign that targets the bad behaviors themselves - instead they target countries that are trying to implement conservative policies that target homosexuality."
In compatibility with his logic, Sidibe suggests that laws against the immoral behavior be changed.
"Mr. Sidibe is just completely confused," LaBarbera notes. "He says that in states where there are not repressive laws, HIV is contained. Then he goes on to express shock that more than 50 percent of infections in the United States are among homosexuals. So he contradicts himself."
Homosexual behavior is not illegal in this country, but the AFTAH president believes the answer to the issue is to launch an all-out campaign to educate people and change the behavior that results in infection. That is what reduced smoking in this country.
