I can only say that his sexuality is not up fopr discussion, it is a by the wayside point of no direct significance, relevance or impact to the topic.Why do you feel the need to distract from the initial point.Let me answer this question so you can see for yourself how foolish you really are.Allow me to put myself in your shoes.By distracting from the topic you are not only going "me me me me me me me" but also "bla bla bla bla bla". perhaps for once you should stop[ being so selfish and let people do their jobs. This man has recognised that although the government has established policies, there are side effects of such policies and by editing or reconsidering those policies, these side effects can be avoided, such as men who have sex with other men, who also have sex with women. i guess because the women are mentioned, you will now think he may be bisexual, and so what if the man is. Do you have feelings for him, perhaps this is a deep seated romantic attraction you hold for him. i get the impression you will be offended by this, perhaps because it is true, perhaps because you now feel what injustice a comment like the one YOU left, can have on a person. I hope your mind is opened nowe to the reality of life. Stop looking at problems and find solutions. Stop walking in circles and ;living in your own dream world. life does not revolve around your own imagined dystopian future of a society which you probably do not even belong to [gay] and if you do then shame on you for yuour self loathing egotistical comments.show some support or show some silence!Better to have attempted and failed than to have made not attempt at all.Your comment was neither helpful, respectful, insigtful nor interesting, so perhaps the administrators of ythis site should remove it.Perhaps someone like me, who perhaps thinks too highly of their own opinion and i apologise if in fact this is the case, perhaps someone like me needed to leave a comment like this for you, and thats why they didnt remove it.who can say.in life we need to learn to live together and help each other, to shareknowledge, information and love.i respect your views and that is why i have left this comment, to share my view on your view in the hope that perhaps, although it may have been agressive, it may sway your minfd to second guess your own previous statement.i hope you never have HIV or AIDS and are refused treatment. That would be real irony.Or would that just be justice?

As health minister, i would imagine something that requires attention should receive attention.Are you suggesting that the health minister should ignore health concerns which affect an estimated 4.5 million men in the country who sleep with other men [a shocking 86% of these males who have intercourse with other males], and that does not necessarily indicate or imply that these men are faithful to each other and or are only having sexual intercourse with men. And this figure is rising rapidly.These men could easily be sleeping with female partners, they most likely also sleep with prostitutes and who is to say they are using condoms and have access to medical help, exactly they do not, it is illegal to treat a gay man for sexual transmitted disease, and so even straight people could get HIV, which may have originally been transferred from a gay person to a bisexual person and then to a straight person, these men are not only sleeping with men, think about arranged marriages where the man prefers men..easily imagined link of cross infection, and not even imagined, it is happening for real!.Why should the minister ignore one problem in favour of another, the problem wont go away if ignored, it will only get worse.If you think im lying i would invite you to try a physical experiment on yourself as a visual, tangible, realistic display and or lesson to demonstrate the point i am making. This involves cutting your arm with a rusty nail and seeing if it gets better if you do not seek medical attention, in fact try ignoring it completely and focus only on feeding and sheltering yourself and being employed, i assure you if you do not clean it, or treat it you may end up losing use of that arm, if not the whole arm all together. My apologies for the offense, however it was necessary to illustrate that attention should be given to all sectors of health, particualrly the ones of most significance, for what at first is only a cut on the arm, could mean only one arm, meaning your bodily ability becomes reduced. Ie manpower in the country, labour forces reduced, overall trade outputy and export potential is directly affected, adversly, if something of this nature is ignored.Kindly allow your mind to be open to the broader spectrum of possibilities which potentially exist within the confines and surrounds of this topic and realise that all health is interconnected just as the various ministries are reliant, dependant and subservient of each other. I agree there are other pressing health concerns and appreciate your views on this. I do not however perceive or necessarily agree that the minister is attention seeking [perhaps i am ignorant to other facts, which you may have ommitted in your comment], even if he is, its bringing light to matters of importance indirectly, so if he is doing bad, he is simultaneously doing good, and there is no harm in that.One agenda serves another. Politics my friend is something calculated, precise and sure to achieve whatever it desires, you can not fight the system, you simply have to find a way to draw attention significantly in the direction you want it to go.If the society is following like sheep, lead them where you want them to go and they ill do what you want. this is every government around the world.An intelligent person would find a way to m,aniulate the system to get what is needed without a drastic change, and enter diplomacy, tacy, reality and cunning.Let the man do his job. We cant say for sure if it will work or not and in the meantime attention is being given to a subject in great need of addressing.Thank you for leaving a comment which can be debated upon and discussed.Whilst reading over this comment i noticed some points may be offensive to others if not explained and therefore i would like to add that i respect other cultures and traditions which societies have, for example arranged marriages, hopwever in my own soiciety this is not the practice.I do not invalidate these poractices simply because i am not following them myself, however i am simply usoing these examples to illustrate the possibility and in fact the actual occurence and possible avenues by which infection from the gay community can pass into the straight community. Therefore to protect yourselves, protect gay people.HIV is not a gay disease, but it is prevalent in this community, just bear that in mind as well. It did not start with us necessarily and it will definitely not end with us.We are all in this together, so stop fighting each other and lets find a way to save us all instead of trying to save only some, because if you do not protect all, you protect none.

Whilst i recognise validity within the context of your comment, i would like to ask why you feel homosexuality is something which REQUIRES correction.Medically speaking all sciences have shown that genetically it is possible to inherit homosexuality and related tendencies from our oredecessors.Psychiatry, another form of reliable medical information, has also proved that interaction with others and environmental factors can also have an impact on a persons sexuality of way of life.Social factors like peer pressure [arranged marriages is only one example-no offense intended for i realise there are benefits of some kind to these arrangements] can also have an impact.Could you please clarify as i may have misunderstood your point.Many thanks and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment which can be discussed.Frederick Smit

Appreciate the logic in the comment you left, you are saying this issue may not receive appropriate attention as distractions by seemingly more pressing issues may overshadow it and the seriousness of the situation may be lost in mitigation, perhaps swept under the carpet or shelved for future consideration.Who is this soniaji person and what is there role, how do i contact him or her and where can i find information about this if you do not know their direct communication links.is there a site i can visit to obtain this informantion or a number i can call?Appreciate the maturity of your comment. You have opened doors for the international gay community and helped millions of people just by making a humble, but extremely valid point.Our thanks are with you
