Indian health minister statements caused loud reactions from Indian gay rights groups and the other activists who said these kind of statements return India to the past. Activists say that the homophobic comments do not help their country in the fight against AIDS. 2 and a half million of Indians are infected with HIV, that is the biggest HIV positive population in the Asia. Opinion that homosexuality is a disease imported from the West is very common in conservative India and I don’t know why this statement comes as a big surprise.

there are no advantages in being gay, you will gain nothing from being gay, you will not benefit society in any way from being gay.
it is basically pointless and a waste of life to be gay, so I just dont understand why they do it.
however, homosexuality is not imported from the west, it exists in every society but the west are encouraging it more than any one.

This is so silly and people who don't understand homosexuality are hilarious.
It's ALWAYS been here. There have been homosexual people since the beginning of time. But they were outcasts and they knew it. They hid, lied to themselves and others to cover their secret (made taboo by the puritans among them). Today, they are coming out. They are tired of hiding and faking. All over the world, homosexual people are staking their claim to this life, which they deserve just as much as the rest of us.
It SEEMS like there are more gay people today because they are not hiding any longer to please you. They are not keeping themselves hidden away in a dark, quiet place so people won't laugh at them, ridicule, hurt and kill them. They are taking a stand for their place in the world. Claiming it. And I support them 100%.
It may look like the gay population is growing or that there's a 'movement' of some kind, but it's just their refusal to fake it that you're seeing.
What you're seeing is a continuation of the mantra: We're here. We're queer. Get used to it! Or don't get used to it. But it's happening whether you get used to it or not.

Are you serious about these ridiculous statements?
If a child is glued in front of the TV; being bombarded with these, in your face, gay acts...can the child just brush them off and "forget" about them? How much does that play on that young brain's psyche?
Here's the BIGGEST problem i have with the 'gay' community.....THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PEOPLE THAT AREN'T GAY.
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME!
SIN IS SIN!
What i have seen, over the past 20 years, is a rise in single moms...and gay people.
...
I was also raised by a single mom..
When i was in high school...there were hardly any "gays"...and if there were, NO ONE knew. Not because they were 'in the closet'
These boys have a STRONG girlie side to them...

How much does television affect the mind of a child? Or, does it have absolutely NO effect? I mean, we all know what it does to adults, how it brainwashes...so...what does it do to children?

All this crap about 'gay rights' and being homophobic is nothing more than NWO propaganda to destroy the family. I REFUSE to believe that SUDDENLY...everyone is 'coming out'. How do you 'come out' when you don't even know who YOU are, yet? BS!!! Homosexuality is a SPIRIT being spread throughout our planet....just like fornication, and adultery. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers..SPIRITUAL HOSTS of wickedness in heavenly places..."
If the 'gay' community wants to be 'recognized', then have some RESPECT for the heterosexual community. We dont HAVE TO accept your perversion, just like we DONT HAVE TO respect those that leave their children, to be raised by a 'single mom''; which was also designed and created by TPTB!
What i have seen, over the past 20 years, is a rise in single moms...and gay people. When i was in high school...there were hardly any "gays"...and if there were, NO ONE knew. Not because they were 'in the closet' but because they didnt PRANCE AROUND...like little girls. IF someone in school was 'gay'...it didn't show. Now-a-days...it seems like EVERY guy has that 'sweetness' about him....especially the younger generation. These boys have a STRONG girlie side to them...and i'm CERTAIN...they weren't born that way! How do i know? 20 years of observation. Anyone that grew up in the 80's can look at their yearbook, and see how many guys were 'gay' or even acted 'gay' or how many girls were lesbian. I can only recall 1 maybe 2...and that's MAYBE.
And please, get out of the game of 'deny ignorance' when you're still plugged up into the matrix....aka...television. How can you say, 'deny ignorance' while watching the most ignorant form of entertainment ever created? Give it up already! You sound like a brainwashed NWO puppet!

How is being gay any more or less of a waste of a life than being straight, bisexual or celibate?
So you're saying that Socrates, Alexander the Great, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Alan Turing, James Baldwin, Andy Warhol, Walt Whitman and Tennessee Williams lived wasted lives?
Oh well, you probably don't know who any of these people are anyway.
More generally on India: recently calls were made to ban a book in Western India that for suggesting that Gandhi may have had a gay affair, or at least a very significant crush on a German man.
