I made some comments on a LGBT website on the Publix PrEP story.
This is what I learned in the last 24 hours.
HIV is not a gay disease but not covering PrEP is homophobic.
That my insurance which costs me $250/mo on the family plan and pays $15 for birth control means gay people are subsidizing my condom free sex life. So, I should have no say in a gay person who pays $125 in individual premiums getting $1,300/mo in PrEP.
It’s fair to pay for PrEP foe years on end because gay people pay for health care coverage for our kids for years too.
“Live and let live” does mean “you have to pay for my lifestyle.”
PrEP is like gay reparations for what Reagan did to the gays back in the 80’s.
Because I disagree with the gay community on PrEP (I said over and over that I’m fine with Truvada for post exposure treatment but using it pre exposure is like taking Tamiflu every day during flub season) I am a stupid, ignorant, homophobe from bad breeding, with no education, and I should “educate myself.”
My wife, my kids, and I all “deserve” HIV.
I’m just a “breeder” and a troll and gay people’s lives none of my business, even in I have to pay more because of it.
What they don’t seem to know is this. Y cousin died from HIV. Technically from the HIV strain of pneumonia, but still. He caught HIV during an anonymous hookup on South Beach. Believe me, I know all about the gay culture of Miami Beach. Some of it is truly disgusting. Hint: don’t go into a public beach bathroom after dark.
I still don’t think that PrEP is worth the cost.
It will only encourage more gay men to say “you don’t need a rubber, I’m on PrEP.” How do I know? Because there are already gay men who say “you don’t need a rubber, I’m on AZT.” Because the myth is that you can’t spread HIV if your viral load is low exists.
What I learned is that there is a left wing part of the LGBT community that is the gay equivalent of BLM. They hate straight people and you have to pay or be broken because they are historical victims.
I don’t care who you have sex with. It’s none of my business. I will not be bullied because I won’t agree to pay for your lifestyle.
I have an idea, all health insurance plans should stop paying for birth control pills and will now pay for 31 condums a month for eveyone. When the females complain tell them it was because gay people said it wasnt fair that they got subsidized for a medication preventing a single targeted disease (preagency) and they didn’t. So now everyones healthcare will pay for a universal preventative(condomes).
The resulting female vs gay men flame war should be quite entertaining.
I think it is time birth control goes OTC. It should be like Prilosec, a prescription drug that was so safe and effective it went over the counter. For another 98% of women, this would be easier and cheaper.
Why argue with people whose response you already know? Not just gays, but pretty much everyone down the left side sound like broken records when put to the task, so why bother attempting communication with those not willing to do so?
