People who usually are homophobic or "don't agree" or "do not support" people attracted to the same sex often associate people who are attracted to the same gender WITH gay sex. The first thing that comes to mind when they hear the word "homosexual" or "gay" is gay sex. Isn't it funny that a man attracted to men can get called "perverted" by a conservative-Christian-homophobe when the perverted is that homophobe themselves when they're often sexualizing gay men. LOL! This got out of hand during the HIV crisis in the 1980s and 1990s when little was known about the deadly virus. HIV/AIDS was very often associated with homosexual men because majority of the cases were of gay men. It was even called a gay disease back then until they changed its name to HIV. The virus affected millions of men who had sex with men, which is why there is so much stigma about HIV/AIDS. A virus or STD has nothing to do with who is attracted to who. It's mainly about having multiple sexual partners or being very sexually active. That's why it's always recommended to limit the number of sexual partners or to wait till marriage or something like that. I feel weird telling just anybody that I'm gay or attracted to men because I don't want people to think that I'm sleeping with every man in town or have them think about gay sex or something sexual in their heads that involves me. That makes me really uncomfortable. I don't like to be sexualized. Personally: I've never been much of a sexual person. I've mainly been very romantic. I can live my entire life never having sexual experiences. I don't really have strong sexual desires, which strongly contradicts what a homophobic would say about a gay man being "perverted" or "dirty" or "full of STDS" or "sexually immoral" or that "homosexuality is lust." I have like 90% romantic feelings for men, and 10% sexual feelings for men. That's it. Nothing sexual or barely anything sexual comes to mind when I have a crush on a guy especially when I had crushes on some guys in high school. I haven't had any crushes on anyone because i don't really have friends and don't meet new people often. The most sexual I can get is if I'm actually strongly emotionally-connected to someone that I strongly love. I can only see myself having sex with someone IF I'm married to them. It's just who I am. It has nothing to do with "sex in marriage is acceptable only" or any beliefs like that. I naturally just can't "sleep" with whoever is available out there. I always found that it would be extremely uncomfortable for me to do. So, whoever is associating a man attracted-to-men with just gay sex or sexual attraction or STDs needs to stop. Just because a group of gay men decide to have multiple sexual partners, it does not mean that every gay guy out there is going to do the same, lol. Not everyone shares the same sex drive or sexual experiences or feelings on sex. And choosing to have multiple sexual partners has NOTHING to do with one's sexual orientation. The reason why gay men are generally more prone to STDS is because men are naturally more sexually driven than women are according to scientific research. So, a group of gay men means there's only men there, and men are very sexually active and driven, so boom! There's where STDS start to come in! And I'm talking about the average man because not every man has the average male sex drive. And a man with an average male sex drive isn't going to just lose control if he does practice self control. Men have more sexual opportunities, get easily sexually aroused, are visually stimulated, have lots of testosterone, and etc. I am not going to explain everything here, so I will attach a few links to reliable, non-biased scientific studies I've read. Homosexual women are the least sexual than homosexual men and heterosexual men/women. Also, STDs affects everyone no matter if your heterosexual or homosexual, or white or black, or male or female. Black and Latinos are more likely to contract STDs than other race/ethnicity groups, but that doesn't necessarily mean that being black or Latino is wrong or immoral or dirty. Some things affect certain communities due to several factors. To think that gay men get STDs just because they are gay is plain ignorant. And again, not every gay man is the same when it comes to sexuality, like me! I am naturally way more romantic than sexual, and the only time I'd have sex is with someone I'm deeply in love with, so someone that I'm married to. That's it. I don't even care about sex. Tired of seeing people on the internet whine about gay men being "perverted" or "sluty" or "full of lust" and apply that to every guy that likes guys when they see a gay guy on the news contracting viruses. It's not 1988 anymore, stick with the times and educate yourselves people! Let me remind you that it is October 2022!
