Homophobia and the new "Gay Plague"

Most people have heard about that new "gay plague"--the new strain of staph infection linked to gay men. Turns out it IS NOT TRUE!
After Linking New Strain of Staph to Gay Men, University Scrambles to Clarify

Turns out, according to the CDC, the disease is NOT sexually transmitted or limited to a certain type of person. It is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact and is widespread among hospitals workers!

Of course, this did not stop the anti-gay bigots from using the recent reports to flame anti-gay hysteria:

Peter LaBarbera, Americans for Truth About Homosexuality:

"Is this not an eerie reminder of the initial stories 25 years ago about AIDS — then called GRID (Gay-Related Immunodeficiency Disease)? It is unfathomable that after that plague, disease specialists and the media are now surprised at the correlation of new infections with homosexual behavior.
Wake up, medical and political establishment: homosexual behavior is unhealthy — no matter how many secular sermons you preach against “homophobia.” Due to liberal political correctness, which treats aberrant — even deadly — behaviors as a “civil right,” we as a society don’t seem to have learned much from the AIDS pandemic."

Concerned Women for America:

"The human body is quite callous in how it handles mistreatment and the perversion of its natural functions. When two men mimic the act of heterosexual intercourse with one another, they create an environment, a biological counterfeit, wherein disease can thrive. Unnatural behaviors beget natural consequences."

Joseph Farrah of World Net (NUT) Daily News:

You’ve heard of AIDS – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Is America’s immune system under attack?
The latest news out of San Francisco is not good.
A drug-resistant strain of potentially deadly bacteria has moved beyond the borders of U.S. hospitals and is being transmitted among homosexual men during sex.
Does this sound familiar? Shades of the 1980s?"

Yes it does sound like the homophobic hysteria the Christian Right spread in the 1980s! They even use the same script from their AIDS press releases! The anti-gay Christian Right will use every opportunity, or invent their own, to dehumanize gay people as diseased and unhealthy. The Nazis taught them well.
