Gnarly Authenticity .’s Reviews > Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay Men > Status Update

Central self serving gay delusion of AIDS era is the idea that gays are merely behaving like heterosexual men would behave given the chance. This is only vaguely plausible if you avoid looking squarely at the facts of urban gay sex culture, which heterosexuals are understandably reluctant to do.

Dont want to be too tough on Rotello, who has taken on an impossible task. With the exception of Ian Young's "Stonewall Experiment" I know of no other tome calling gays to account. But all claims of gay/straight equivalence are false. Passive anal with 1000 partners is not 'reproductive behavior', it's suicide.

" [some doubt] increased sexual restraint could produce a long-term sustainable gay lifestyle, [but] supporting evidence is all around us. There is no sexually transmitted heterosexual AIDS epidemic..." There is no het AIDS because constant claims of equivalence between het and homo sex are false. The compulsive and selfdestructive aspects of gay promiscuity are baked in. Rotello is attempting to square the circle.
