However gays are not the only group of people who are at increased risk of disease and cancer, take smokers for instance. How does that change the fact that everyone is equally entitled to be treated with the same dignity and respect that our culture values? Why should gays be treated any differently just because their lifestyle has some disadvantages? Surely they can make an informed choice about their own lives and manage their risks just as anyone else.
Don't even get me started on what Muslims are susceptible to;
Rickets - Muslim women are at great risk of rickets due to lack of sun exposure. And there's no shortage of sunlight in the Middle East and North Africa, let's be real.
Dehydration and starving - fasting in one of the hottest parts of the world and that month-long festival is falling in summer at the moment, very fucking clever.
Depression - people who drink moderate amounts of alcohol and have healthy sex lives are shown to be less depressed.
Self-flagellation among Shia Muslims - don't need to say any more on that.
And this one is worried about gay men and their rectal cancer. Tidy your own house before you comment on mine.
That enough for you?

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
