The North Carolina Family Council states regarding the problem of homosexuality and syphilus and other diseases:
{{cquote| In large part, the legitimization of homosexuality has been achieved through efforts that conceal the realities of homosexual sex behind the rhetoric of civil rights, such as the enactment of special rights laws, “safe” school initiatives, and the positive portrayal of gays and lesbians in the media. The message the public consistently hears is that homosexuality is normal, and that homosexual acts are one aspect of the myriad of ways that human beings relate sexually.

Despite its success at making homosexuality appear socially acceptable, the gay rights movement cannot sever homosexual behavior from the serious health risks associated with it and the related public consequences.

Although homosexuality is presented to society as a healthy—and sometimes even superior—alternative to heterosexuality, the truth is that homosexual behavior represents a serious threat to individual and public health. Homosexuality, particularly among males, is associated with dangerous behaviors and increased rates of disease ranging from certain cancers to a long list of STDs, including HIV/AIDS. As recent studies show, many homosexuals continue to engage in high-risk behaviors that ignore the very real consequences to their health and the health of others. The public deserves honest information about the sexual realities of the homosexual lifestyle and the serious health risks that come with it.<ref>http://www.ncfamily.org/FNC/0707S3.html</ref>}}

The Baptist Press reported the following regarding the increasing syphilis rates and the nomination [[James Holsinger]] for the position of U.S. surgeon general (Holsinger earned his medical degree from Duke University; he also holds master's degrees from Asbury Theological Seminary and the University of South Carolina):
{{cquote|[[Matt Barber]], policy director for cultural issues for Concerned Women for America in Washington, D.C., said Holsinger has come under fire for "having the courage to address the compelling medical evidence and multiple studies which underscore the reality that homosexuals can escape the homosexual lifestyle and realign themselves to a biologically and spiritually natural heterosexual 'orientation.'"
Barber, in a June 19 commentary, wrote that Holsinger's 1991 study of homosexuality "placed scientific substance over political correctness by unapologetically demonstrating the seemingly self-evident reality that from a medical standpoint, homosexual behaviors such as male-on-male sodomy are 'unnatural' and 'unhealthy' and run entirely counter to natural human biological design. …
"But facts and logic have a way of running counter to the left's agenda," Barber wrote, "so we shouldn't be at all surprised that there is such a liberal gnashing of teeth over Holsinger's nomination. He has clearly struck a chord on the issue of homosexual behavior and lifestyle, and that chord rings sour among those who don't want to hear it."<ref>http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=25960</ref>}}
