@leatherbear:
LAGOS, Nigeria – A bill originally designed to outlaw gay marriage in Nigeria likely has consequences far beyond its initial scope – criminalizing gay groups and organizations could jeopardize millions of dollars of Western aid geared toward stopping the spread of HIV and AIDS in Africa's most populous nation.
WOAH!! Back the f*** up a second!! Where does the Nigerian government get their facts from? According to Statistics Canada, in 2003, the number of heterosexual females known to be infected with HIV on a worldwide group officially raised above that of any other category of person. This was primarily stemmed from the HIV epidemic in that geographical region, namely the whole part about that geographical region's days of "HIV in the 80's" being what they're living now. It is was also noted that the greatest percentage of heterosexual females infected were located in this general geographical region of the world.
All that being said, the question is this: "How would banning of gay marriage help prevent the spread of HIV when the majority of the cases in that area are in heterosexual females, unless the government is only examining the statistics within North America where the greatest population infected with HIV is in fact homosexual males, or they are otherwise uneducated on the matter and use one of the common myths of HIV as an excuse?"
