Philippines Health Sec. Proposes Warning Parents of Gay Kids About HIV

[William769]

The Philippines' head of health policy is catching heat for saying government workers should survey the homes of gay children to warn their parents that they could contract HIV.

"Parents should rein in their homosexual children and get them tested," Health Secretary Enrique Ona said Friday at an HIV/AIDS conference according to the Associated Press.

Bong Austero of the Manila Standard Today wrote Ona's "abysmal lack of political will to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS is unacceptable." He added that Ona was the subject of boos and heckling at the conference from a group called the Network to Stop HIV and AIDS in the Philippines. One of the activists in the group, Jonas Bagas, said Ona told the crowd that parents should be warned about their gay children's "problem."

First I would tell him to warn all parents of kids to the dangers of HIV then I would tell him being Gay is not a problem, Homophobia is.
