Respected Medical Journal Claims "Homophobia" Causes AIDS

Here's one for the strange-but-true category. The long respected and authoritative British medical journal, the Lancet, has just released a study that claims that “homophobia is a key driver” of AIDS. Moreover, the Lancet is apparently taking the additional step of calling on governments to decriminalization and de-stigmatize homosexual behavior as a means of combating the spread of HIV.

Seriously, we couldn't make this one up if we tried. The Catholic Family And Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) in Washington D.C. has just issued a report on a new series of papers, “HIV in Men Who Have Sex with Men”, recently published by the Lancet which apparent delve deep into the cause of HIV and AIDS.

According to Stefano Gennarini J.D. with C-FAM: "The health experts claim that homophobia is a key driver of the HIV pandemic among homosexuals, especially black homosexuals. But while the experts cite data showing how laws and culture can be barriers to access HIV services and information, there is no data showing that the expansion of special rights to persons on the basis of their sexual and identity preferences has had any effect on their HIV infection rate, or overall health."  Read the rest of the story here.
