It was inevitable, really. As men age their prostate naturally enlarges and, as the prostate is the reciprocal “pleasure organ” of anal sex; well, you get the picture.
The AARP surely does.
The American Family Association has just started a campaign against the AARP. They have a special form on their website you can sign to resign your membership in AARP to protest. The following is excerpted from the AFA website:
Page 38 of the July/August AARP bulletin contained an article titled “Pride Is Ageless” which announced AARP’s plans for “advocacy efforts in the LGBT arena.”
The article stated “AARP has created a new online home for the older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.” The page links to news stories on such hot topics as same-sex marriage, gay adoption and the repeal of the military’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy, as well as articles on personal finance, travel and other issues of interest. In addition, the site clarifies AARP’s positions and advocacy efforts in the LGBT arena.
I wonder if the AARP will have special legal counsel to help the 40% of gays who either have AIDS or are HIV positive to get the $650,000 in Social Security medical benefits to treat this disorder, above and beyond all the other medical expenses incurred as we grow older?
How does the AARP feel about the fact that the federal government has spent more on AIDS research than all over diseases combined?
I guess the AARP doesn’t mind a special campaign to benefit the 0.25% of seniors who are gay (at least that’s the percentage in the general population).
I hope you are offended by all of this. I hope if you are a member of the AARP that you will resign or at least express your opinion.
It’s the right thing to do.
