Is homosexuality scarier than HIV/Aids?

The missus has found something worthy of her time and attention on local TV, a 20-episode drama series titled "By My Side" that is endorsed by the Health Promotion Board which runs public service advisory during almost every commercial break that preaches fidelity. 

All is good that TCS is not showing some atrocious period dramas with people in outlandish drag costumes but what got me thinking and blogging on this are the lessons that I have "learnt" from this series:
1. Never tell anyone if you are HIV-positive and/or have Aids;
2. And more importantly, homosexuality, specifically being gay, is a greater evil than Aids and infidelity combined. 

Here we have a government agency endorsed TV drama series on prime-time television advocating fidelity, safe sex and education of HIV and Aids (that it cannot be transmitted through food or superficial physical contact) while homosexuality warrants the weight and power of Section 377A's retention to keep in check. 

I shall not repeat what has been said pertaining to homosexuality. 
You get very good and interesting reads on YawningBread and Mr Wang on this and other issues.
