People this is a time in history you would think that IGNORANCE would be replaced with TRUTH because of all the AVAILABLE RESOURCES on ALL SUBJECT MATTER on the WWW. Even still I hear stories like this by a friend of mine Jeffrey Newman, which reminds me that IGNORANCE is still ALIVE and WELL.

# One AIDS is NOT a PUNISHMENT of GOD, AIDS is a condition as a result of being infected with the HIV VIRUS. HIV is spread through SEXUAL RELATIONS whether it be GAY or STRAIGHT. Which leads me to # TWO it is NOT A GAY DISEASE. The first people to experience HIV were STRAIGHT PEOPLE in AFRICA where the DISEASE is STILL being spread daily. 

HIV is a STD that has NO CURE, just as a person can get HERPES from sexual relations which by the way has NO CURE. Thank GOD for modern medicine that helps keep BOTH in CHECK.

EDUCATION in AMERICA is WEAK and UNTIL we STOMP OUT the STIGMA ATTACHED to SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE and really EDUCATE the PUBLIC these DISEASE WILL CONTINUE to be SPREAD.

The next time you encounter someone's BRAVE STORY about living with HIV I hope you will learn from my friend Jeffrey Newman's Experience that JUDGEMENT is NOT YOURS to push off on someone else. It is your place as a CHILD of GOD to LOVE and PRAY for your fellow man. 

I pray GOD will burn the BLINDERS off your eyes so you can see that HIS LOVE is towards ALL HIS CREATION and it is HIS WILL that ALL HIS CREATION turn to HIM in LOVE and HONOR. You can read my personal story about HIV and the LOVE of GOD in my life here. Blessings and Peace to ALL, Rainbow Pastor David

AIDS IS GOD’S PUNISHMENT! That’s the message of “compassion,” a woman wrote me today, saying she doesn’t hate homosexuals, but it’s what I deserve for being gay.

WTF?! 

Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in 2017 anymore! I could almost hear my inner Julia Sugarbaker screaming, “if God was giving out sexually transmitted diseases to people as a punishment for sinning then you would be at the Free clinic all the time!”

Let me back up for a second, me put this in context. A few days ago, Pantsuit Nation posted my HIV story of the night I almost died. Within 48 hours, my post got more than 22,000 likes and 1,200 comments. And I received some of the most incredibly moving and personal, emails. 

And, then I got this today.

For as much progress as we’ve made in 35 years, I’m still amazed when people espouse such ignorance. Or, in this case, ignorance masked as some backwards-assed judgment about people who are gay, or who are living with HIV. They are NOT the same!

But, I am grateful for emails like this. I don’t see hate. I see a teachable moment.

Fact: HIV is not a gay virus, (he says in his best Julia Sugarbaker voice). HIV and AIDS are non discriminating and can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, religion, race, sexual orientation or any of that, without a morality barometer. It is NOT a punishment against anyone.

There is still so much ignorance and hate. We must educate and work to break this stigma and educate.

We are all in this together!

So, thank you to my misguided and deluded religious zealot. Because of you, a few less people now live in your place of ignorance.

And remember, when it’s your turn to hop in the transport for your trip to hell, please wave as you pass me by. I’ll be the one dancing with all the boys under the disco ball. Yours, I dare say, is much further down, and much, much darker. — Jeffrey, Positivelyjeffrey
