No, your stupidity is showing. You just posted some numbers where you claimed well under 1 million AIDS cases that you attributed to homosexuals (incorrectly, as you failed to mention bisexuals, etc.). You also claimed that 5 percent of the population consists of homosexuals. The U.S. population is about 300,000,000, about 1/2 of which are men and perhaps 3/4 of which are old enough to be sexually active, so you should figure on about 5.6 million gays (adults and teenagers). The number of AIDS or HIV cases from the start of the epidemic (and that includes people who have died), even using the figures you claim to have copied from the CDC web site, accounts for well below 20 percent of the total gay population. Don't try to argue about it. Just admit you are wrong. Your numbers don't add up.
