A pastor in Arizona is calling for the mass extermination of gay people.  In a Sunday sermon titled “AIDS-the judgement of God”, Pastor Steve Anderson said that if humanity wants an “AIDS-free Christmas” they should follow God’s biblical command to kill gay people.

Aside from the fact that this asshole advocates people being killed and thinks this would be a good thing (I guess all those icky gays don’t have families that love them), Mr. Anderson doesn’t appear to understand that heterosexual people also have AIDS:

Heterosexuals and injection drug users also continue to be affected by HIV.

Since the epidemic began, almost 89,683 persons with an AIDS diagnosis, infected through heterosexual sex, have died, included an estimated 3,516 in 2011³.

New HIV infections among women are primarily attributed to heterosexual contact (84% in 2010) or injection drug use (16% in 2010). Women accounted for 20% of estimated new HIV infections in 2010 and 23% of those living with HIV infection in 2011^{1, 2}. The 9,500 new infections among women in 2010 reflect a significant 21% decrease from the 12,000 new infections that occurred among this group in 2008².

Injection drug users represented 8% of new HIV infections in 2010 and 15% of those living with HIV in 2011^{1, 2}.

Since the epidemic began, nearly 184,673 injection drug users with an AIDS diagnosis have died, including an estimated 3,723 in 2011
