World AIDS Day, the 2020 Census and Andy Amoroso

PositiveSingles: Young Gays and Lesbians Daters Living With HIV Increased by 1.4 Times

Tuesday night, the city gave a proclamation for World Aids Day.

World AIDS Day takes place on the 1st December each year. It’s an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. Founded in 1988, World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day.

Read these stunning stats on those with HIV.

Lake Worth has a substantial percentage of LGBTQ who live here and even has a parade every year, Pride Fest, that features the gay, lesbian population. Lake Worth has a facility, Compass, that brings awareness and help to the gay community. Because of this large gay population, it can effect change in policy.

As if we don't know it, Commissioner Andy Amoroso constantly brings up that he is Gay at almost every public meeting. Two years ago, he and a former commission voted unanimously to ban the practice of conversion therapy on children throughout the city that went into effect on January 20, 2017.

Now he is upset that the Census, that will take place in 2020, left off the count for the LGBTQ community in the final form that was printed and distributed. No previous U.S. Census has ever included LGBTQ Americans. How ridiculous can this get? Count heterosexuals and bi-sexuals too? He wants to be counted like a person of a particular race.

I was told that it was Amoroso who put this Community ID program on the agenda, who packed the chamber with die-hard liberals for illegals and who advocated and voted for a Community ID that basically is for the protection of illegal aliens.

I can well understand having pride in who you are but publicly supporting people who have broken our laws is irresponsible for an elected official as illegal immigration affects all facets of society. In Lake Worth we have the cost of education with some school children not knowing any English, printing in Spanish and Creole, healthcare, public benefits, safety and security.

We have many flavors of stupid here in Lake Worth.Why on Earth should it matter if you are gay or not to be counted in the Census? The LGBTQ community wanted to be treated EQUALLY. Yet at every turn people like Amoroso seem to be demanding SPECIAL,not EQUAL treatment. Quite frankly,it's nobody's damn business,especially the Govt., who I do the two step with behind closed doors!

Each illegal invader costs us citizens $70,000 annually. Keeping them out will give us the funds to build the wall and make our country safer.
Can Commissioner Amoroso put our City and Country first instead of illegal invaders?
