Why isn't the gay community accusing the medical community of being homophobic?
The Sexually Transmitted Disease Information Center of the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control don't have anything good to say about anal intercourse or homosexuality. They go into graphic detail describing the deleterious effects of the gay lifestyle. So how come nobody is calling the medical community a bunch of bigots or homophobic? Is it because scientists and the medical community aren't as vocal as the religious communities?
People like to say that there's no victim or that homosexuality doesn't hurt anyone, but the medical community says just the opposite.

Check those medical sites out yourself. I didn't say just homosexual anal sex. Those diseases aren't discriminating against just homosexuals.

For your information, I have gay friends. The one's who are actively gay seem to have more problems(one's dead, another's insanes, and one is incontinent), than the one's who aren't.

Case controlled studies repeatedly show that the highest rates of HIV, hepatitis, herpes, syphilis, and human papillomavirus occur in gay men.Methicillin-resistant staphyloccocal skin infections are also extremely common in gay men. Most of these diseases are associated with the sexual practices of gay men. The medical community is not saying that anal sex or oral sex "cause" these diseases. Men who have these diseases infect others through sexual intimacy (just like you would get the flu if you were intimate with someone who had the flu). If they engage in heterosexual sex, they infect women who in turn can infect other men who in turn can infect other women of men. AIDS-related disease are more common heterosexual populations in Africa and Asia and more common in the homosexual male population in the US and Europe. This is called epidemiology --the study of how infections are transmitted within population groups. It has nothing to do with gay bashing. Most gay men know well that they can prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases by practicing safe sex.

"describing the deleterious effects of the gay lifestyle"
This is a lie. Medical journals say that anal intercourse has a higher risk of infection than vaginal sex; that is it. They do not try and preach that being gay is wrong. In other words, your conclusion is biased, not based in reality and just shows your own blatant homophobia.
EDIT: You're a sad lying little scumbag, kid. Firstly, if two of them are dead and insane, they're hardly actively practicing ANYTHING. Incontinence has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality either, and that's a pathetic stretch. Oh, and I note you've backtracked that at first the medical community spoke out against homosexuality in general, but when you're called on it they just speak out against anal sex being practiced by anyone? Pathetic. You're a worthless little bigot and it's fairly easy for everyone to see.
Because everything the medical community says about the STDs in the gay community are all factual. Every thing say has lots of evidence to back it up with. All the christians do is attack gays for being different and claiming their "all loving god" hates them and they're gonna burn in hell for not being like them. The christians are bigots because they take some long passed down story book and try to shove it down everyone Else's throat while the scientists use facts that can be proven. I don't care if they tell the truth and say they're right but when you say opinion and claim to be right that's where draw the line.
You're making it up. :D The first link is a search of the STDIC of the JAMA. I checked for your claims and found no articles as you say.
Medical sites advocate safe sex and monogamy as two ways to reduce disease, and say nothing about the partners or specific practices.
The CDC lists "the stigma of homosexuality" as being one obstacle to prevention, since it makes men more likely to have secret multiple partners. That's the greatest difficulty it describes in control and treatment. Second link.
Edit: FYI, your gay friends probably wouldn't say you were their friends. Especially if they could read that...
no longer all of it's seen so. in simple terms because of fact a majority of the investment could circulate in for learn against the community (thinking that the powers that be help prepared homophobia in the society), would not end the small, yet very in a position and ordinary portion of the scientific community working complicated to disprove improper claims that tarnish clone of the LGBT community.
