Here is something to "teeter on the edge of hate speech".

http://www.avert.org/usa-statistics.htm

United States HIV & AIDS Statistics Summary

"It is estimated that more than one million people are living with HIV in the USA and that more than half a million have died after developing AIDS."

On a pie chart it shows that 61% of males get HIV from male to male sexual contact, 9% get HIV from male to male sexual contact plus injection drug use.
-------

Those concerned Graceland faculty members don't want the young people to know that. Oh, the truth teeters on hate speech.
