CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' (OF CATCHING AIDS)

Last month saw California decriminalise knowingly infecting another person with HIV. It is, in effect, now legal there to give another person a death sentence through sexual intercourse. The two chief proponents of the bill were Scott Wiener and Todd Gloria, both of whom are open homosexuals and Democrat politicians. The former is also Jewish and the latter a confused jumble of several different races, including Alaskan Indian tribes, Philippino, Dutch and Puerto-Rican. One notes the higher tendencies towards homosexuality of people from such ethnic backgrounds. Weiner's purported reasoning was that:

 

Legislators passed a number of laws three decades ago, at the height of the HIV epidemic, that criminalized behaviours of people living with HIV or added HIV-related penalties to existing crimes. These laws were based on fear and on the limited medical understanding of the time. In the decades since, societal and medical understanding of HIV has greatly improved. Effective treatments dramatically lengthen and improve the quality of life for people living with HIV — treatments that also nearly eliminate the possibility of transmission. HIV is a public health issue, not a criminal issue. These felonies, which treat HIV differently than all other serious communicable diseases, stigmatize people living with HIV and discourage people from getting tested and into treatment.
