New MRSA strain afflicting homosexuals faces political correctness whitewash, group claims

Aboard the papal plane, Jan 29, 2008 / 04:40 am (CNA).- Some conservative groups are alleging that news of a microbe resistant to multiple drugs and found disproportionately among homosexual men is being suppressed due to hostile “politically correct” reactions, Cybercast News Service reports.
Researchers recently announced the discovery of a new form of MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, an infection that is 13 to 14 times more prevalent in homosexual men than the general population.
“These multi-drug resistant infections often affect gay men at body sites in which skin-to-skin contact occurs during sexual activities,” said Binh Diep, the University of California-San Francisco scientist who led the team that isolated the new strain of MRSA. Their study was published two weeks ago in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Matt Barber, director of cultural policy for Concerned Women of America (CWA), said after “pretty solid” initial reporting of the outbreak, news coverage began to change when conservative groups like CWA began noting the microbe was spread primarily through male homosexual activity.
** “The real story here is the way that the media have whitewashed this outbreak,” Barber told Cybercast News Service. “It is amazing to see what they’ve done with this.”

I went to the Center for Disease control’s website in Atlanta GA and it doesn’t specify homosexuals as those afflicted with MRSA. It says it is most commonly obtained in hospitals in people with weakened immune sytems.

think Matt Barber missed a prime opportunity here to apologize for his rampant homophobic bigotry, his shameful verbal gay-bashing, and his unbridled heterosexism. For goodness sake, the guy was once an undefeated heavyweight boxer — send him to the Lavender Gulag at once! Joking, of course. Matt hits the nail on the head below. — Peter LaBarbera

MRSA Outbreak Among ‘Gays’ - Let the Whitewash Begin

By even reporting on this study the media has ticked off that 500-pound homosexual activist gorilla.

You can’t help but feel a little sorry for Amanda Beck. She’s a reporter from Reuters who was among the first to cover a new study conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, which warns about an outbreak of a virulent, drug-resistant, and potentially deadly strain of Staph infection afflicting certain segments of the homosexual community.

Is there a Vast Anti-Gay Conspiracy? The Homosexuality-MRSA Link

By Peter LaBarbera

Folks, after opposing the homosexual activist movement for over 15 years, I can tell you that there are two issues they fear discussing most: 1) the fact that men and women are leaving the homosexual lifestyle — i.e., “being gay” is not an innate, fixed identity; and 2) the fact that there are manifold health risks associated with homosexual behaviors, especially “men who have sex with men,” as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sterilely puts it.

There is another basic point in this struggle: the secular media are not on our side, and are loathe to write anything that hurts the “gay” movement. They are quite good at covering up negative news about homosexuality (and other non-politically correct facts). So you know something very ”queer” is up when you see homosexual activists blasting the media for alleged antigay bias. That would be sort of like accusing Paris Hilton of being a prude.

Since Americans For Truth first wrote about the gay-MRSA story, followed by Concerned Women for America doing the same, the homosexual lobby — starting with top dog Joe Solmonese of the Human Wrongs Campaign (Human Rights Campaign) — have been outraged … not at the misbehavior among homosexual men that any sensible person could see is implicated in the MRSA study at issue (read the study for yourself HERE), but at US for allegedly calling this the new “gay plague.”

“Try this: do a quick Google search on syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis, anal warts, anal cancer, etc. — combined with the word “gay” — and you’ll come up with a host of articles, some written by pro-homosexuality websites, that implicate homosexual behaviors in the disproportionately high incidence of said maladies among “gay” men.”
