Surgeon General Nominee's Homophobia Documented


Towleroad has a link to the complete anti-gay paper drafted by Dr. James W. Holsinger, Jr., Chimperator Bush's surgeon general nominee, andsubmitted to the United Methodist Church. For those who would like to read for themselves the trash put out by this nut case see: http://websrvr80il.audiovideoweb.com/il80web20037/ThinkProgress/2007/holsingerpaper.pdf
According to this bigot, gays are walking disease factories:

"From the perspective of pathology and pathophysiology, the varied sexual practices of homosexual men have resulted in a diverse and expanded concept of sexually transmitted disease and associated trauma. Four general groups of conditions may be encountered in homosexually active men: classical sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, infections with chlamydia trachomatis, syphilis, herpes simplex infections, genital warts, pubic lice, scabies); enteric diseases (infections with hig gel la species, Campylobacter jejuni, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis non-A, non-B, and cytomegalovirus); trauma (fecal incontinence, hemorrhoids, anal fissure, foreign bodies, rectosigmoid tears, allergic proctitis, penile edema, chemical sinusitis, inhaled nitrite burns, and sexual assault of the male patient); and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (“AIDS”)."

How this guy ever got to hold responsible positions when he is obviously a religious lunatic has to make one wonder why no one ever looked into his crazy beliefs before. As I asked previously, why didn't Bush just nominate a witch doctor??

Oh the things I could say, but I'll be good and just sit on my hands and roll my eyes, and wonder about the state of the world in this day and age.
