[quote]5. HIV and AIDS. This doesn't so much have to do with equality, but it's still an important issue. HIV and AIDS disproportionally affect gay men, and this has been a major issue for the community since the 80s[/quote] This is due to the promiscuity which runs rampant in the LGBT community. As somebody who struggles with homosexual attractions, I can tell you that lust plays a bigger factor than actual romance. Therefore it is not uncommon for members of the LGBT community to seek multiple partners. Therefore the transmission of STDs is a lot more rampant.
