I can only imagine how excited you must be that you can leave your life of celibacy (which obviously you were frightened into) once a cure is found for one of the diseases that come with same sex buggery.
Being that God won't be mocked, don't get your hopes up too high.
Sinful behavior was here long before I was born, and it will be here (most likely...unless Jesus returns in the next few decades) long after I leave this life to spend eternity with God.
BTW, are your scientists working on ways to cure many of the other diseases and disorders that come with the homosexual lifestyle?
Take for instance this 52 year old bisexual (the "B" in the LGBT etc etc etc acronym) who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge due to depression (wait, I thought homosexuals in "gay friendly environments" didn't get depressed?).
I would advise you to examine the medical data within the last year or so. "Some" is "Most".
Those who have become infected with HIV/AIDS (the vast majority being homosexual and bisexual males) are still dying from "HIV-related opportunistic infections and diseases":
People with advanced HIV infection are vulnerable to infections and malignancies that are called 'opportunistic infections' because they take advantage of the opportunity offered by a weakened immune system.
A partial list of the world's most common HIV-related opportunistic infections and diseases includes:Bacterial diseases such as tuberculosis, MAC, bacterial pneumonia and septicaemia (blood poisoning)Protozoal diseases such as toxoplasmosis, microsporidiosis, cryptosporidiosis, isopsoriasis and leishmaniasis. Fungal diseases such as PCP, candidiasis, cryptococcosis and penicilliosis. Viral diseases such as those caused by cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex and herpes zoster virusHIV-associated malignancies such as Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Different conditions typically occur at different stages of HIV infection. In early HIV disease people can develop tuberculosis, malaria, bacterial pneumonia, herpes zoster, staphylococcal skin infections and septicaemia. These are diseases that people with normal immune systems can also get, but with HIV they occur at a much higher rate. It also takes longer for a person with HIV to recover than it takes for someone with a healthy immune system. When the immune system is very weak due to advanced HIV disease or AIDS, opportunistic infections such as PCP, toxoplasmosis and cryptococcosis develop. Some infections can spread to a number of different organs, which is known as 'disseminated' or 'systemic' disease. Many of the opportunistic infections that occur at this late stage can be fatal.

Keep in mind that 50,000 people annually are infected with HIV here in the US. Homosexual and bisexual males are disproportionately represented in that number. Also keep in mind that 16% of those infected with HIV don't know that they have it and that 32% are diagnosed late in their illness.

"Pumped themselves full" is actually "Take 1-3 pill". Which is probably less than the amount of statins and lisonopril you take per day for your cholesterol and high blood pressue.
That would be 1-3 more HAART pills than I take DR. Surely you're not implying that these pills are a cure all for other conditions that homosexuals males are afflicted with? (syphilis, gonorrhea, as well as the above "opportunistic infections and diseases").
Once again, your projections are wildly off. I was not frightened into anything. I lived through the entire breadth of the AIDS epidemic, only entering the celibate life in my middle age. Fear had nothing to do with my choices. If I do ever leave a celibate life, it will be for different and hopefully loving reasons. Unlike you, my life has never been defined by fear.
Paraphrasing the words of my good friend Sandy:
"You must have not been a real homosexual" (me thinkz that DR gave his boyfriend a handshake instead of a kiss if he lived through the AIDS epidemic).
Being that God speaks far more harshly towards those who are judgmental, hateful, and unkind than he ever did about homosexuals, you have far more to worry about from God than I.
Have you been fitted for a millstone yet?
Matthew 18:1-6
Hopefully synthetic biology and gene therapy will provide many cures for organic diseases. Even if they do not, everyone dies, so whats your point?
Diseases caused by buggery are considered "organic diseases"?
Why not just recriminalize homosexuality and get these people the help that they so desperately need?
