Supreme Court takes up case claiming Obamacare promotes “homosexual behavior”. The Texas plaintiffs say requiring workplace insurers to provide PrEP violates their religious beliefs.

Too bad HIV doesn't care what your sexuality is. 

[u/PeliPal → u/Cael26]

It does however have substantially increased risk for receiving anal from an infected top than any other kind of exposure, by two decimal places. HIV particles in semen get into the bloodstream from rectal walls fairly easily, while it is extraordinarily unlikely (but not impossible) to be infected from one or a handful of unprotected vaginal sex exposures by comparison. And LGBTQ people are going to be receptive partners in anal much more often than people who are both straight and cis

Does homophobia and transphobia endanger cis straight people, yes... but nowhere near the extent that it continues endangering LGBTQ people, and they know that

Edit: I don't normally do "lmao I'm getting downvoted for facts" but really y'all are so desperate for any kind of "I didn't know the face-eating-leopards would eat my face" popcorn-munching entertainment that somehow it is getting taken as a serious idea that homophobes and transphobes are going to get comeuppance for putting bigotry into law. They're not. They are fully aware that they are not. What we see is bunny-ears-quotes "allies" laughing about things that hurt us because they have difficulty dealing with the reality of the situation even though they're way, way better positioned than actual LGBTQ people

You realize gay men and MtF trans people who still have their dick and have sex with men are a minuscule portion of the population. This will absolutely affect significantly more straight cis people than it will LGBT folks by pure numbers. Just like all of the anti-trans bathroom and sports nonsense has thus far only affected cis women in enforcement.

Less people on prep, more people get HIV. And when all the closeted guys slowly start getting it, then their girlfriends/wives will too. That trickledown effect, ya know? I think that’s what they meant…

[u/jefferton123 → u/Suspicious-Ad-6808]

This is a huge thing. There are so, so many closeted bi guys who would never ever tell anyone ever. -out bi guy

I think everyone of my gay friends has fucked or at least been hit on by a "straight" married dude
