The Impact of Homosexuality on a Family

Karl and Judy Schowengerdt share the story of how their son's homosexual activity led to a diagnosis of HIV, and his early death as the result of AIDS. They live in Iowa and oppose the recent Iowa Supreme Court action forcing County Recorders to issue homosexual marriage licenses, because they know first hand the pain that homosexuality causes within a family.

sympathies over the loss of their child but the logical fallacy that homosexuality led to his death is pathetic... get the stats from CDC about mortality and high risk behavior across all demographics.... it isnt a GAY thing....

@akrno The CDC says that "the rate of new HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men (MSM) is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women." Just for comparison, the CDC says "People who smoke are 10 to 20 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who do not smoke"

ok so this is a good message about the impact of HIV and AIDS. im very sorry to this couple for their loss of their son they obviously loved but homosexuality does not increase the chance of catching HIV/AIDS. unprotected sex does but not homosexuality.

@flippingnational - according to the CDC, men who have sex with men are diagnosed with HIV at a rate that is "44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women."

Type "CDC Analysis Provides New Look at Disproportionate Impact of HIV and Syphilis Among U.S. Gay and Bisexual Men" into a search engine and you will find the report.

I love these backwater morons who think that Homosexual people are any more or less likely to contract HIV/AIDS than any other demographic. *points to Africa* Case and point.

[IFPCAction]

@tlucentefl - "Backwater Morons" like the CDC? Nice.

Not only are homosexuals - homosexual men in particular - more likely to contract HIV/AIDS, when you compare stats from the CDC it looks like smoking is actually a safer activity than sodomy.

Type "What's Worse - Smoking or Sodomy?" into your favorite search engine to read more.

Without a doubt, homosexuality is a choice! There is nothing on record that supports a "gay gene". Even Dr. Simon Lavey, the foremost Geneticist on sexual orientation has clearly stated that there is no gay gene...and he is gay himself! Dr. Camille Paglia, a lesbian scholar has stated: "homosexuality is an adaptation, not a inborn trait." Even if one were to buy into the false notion that people were born gay, to live the life of a homosexual is without question a choice!

@johnnYhomie nice.....I can tell you're a very compassionate individual. We won't return evil for evil....we simply want you to know the truth - instead of the ie you've obviously been told and bindly believe.

[getsomecommonsense1]

@Giefbeef "funny" huh? " Those of us who ARE SURE this is a God....just care about you and believe it's better to tell you the truth, than to let you die in your sin. [we're sinners too - so we know all about it -- forgiveness that is.] No sin is so great it can't be forgiven. If you're engaging in homosexual acts stop - ask for forgiveness - and receive it. We're not "afraid" (homophobic) of you....we care about you.
