CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Not familiar with what CPR is short for. Is it something grossly inappropriate? A "eeew" gay sex practice or something?
Anyways, I just don´t seem to understand how the sexual orientation of the person makes any difference in case he´s unconscious or otherwise in need.

You don't know what CPR is? Assuming your serious (I thought pretty much everybody knew what CPR is):Not familiar with what CPR is short for. Is it something grossly inappropriate? A "eeew" gay sex practice or something?
It's short for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and is a method used when people stop breathing and/or their heart stops.

Thanks! (And thanks, Monica!)
Does applying this procedure put an unconscious homosexual to a greater risk than an unconscious heterosexual? I don´t seem to get the connection between emergency management and the sexual orientation of the victim.

No problem. Actually, I am really amazed how patient everyone here generally is with non-native speakers.I didn't know that. Sorry, that's just a bit of unconscious ethnocentrism shining through.

I believe it was in response to all the negativity pointed towards homosexuality on this site. I think the OP meant to see how far one's prejudice could go and if it was so intense to the point they'd refuse to help an unconscious homosexual simply for fear of HIV/AIDS or other personal prejudices. Thats just what I got from it anyways, but I could be off a bit in my assessment.

Exactly. There is some sort of rusty nail on the closet door handle which pricks you when you try to come out and gives you aids. Don't even have to have unprotected sex with another man.

The risk of a CPR provider acquiring a communicable disease is felt to be very low. The only PubMed reference I could find is pretty old--from 1998. But it states up to that time, only 15 cases of a communicable disease transmitted via CPR had been reported. And mostly bacterial infections. There were 3 cases of HIV, thought to be due to cutaneous exposure (likely needlesticks.) No cases of Hep B or C, or CMV. (I would expect that there'd be some risk of oral herpes simplex from mouth-to-mouth respiration, but it's not mentioned.)

Do you have any studies of how many cases of The Gay have been transmitted via CPR? It would be interesting to know.

May all beings have happiness and its causes
There are of course three major dangers to consider:
1) All gays have AIDS...coming even close to them gives you the disease, which of course wouldn't exist otherwise, because it is a gay disease.
2) Gays might be aroused by waking up to you puttng your mouth against theirs. They think about nothing but sex, because they aren't normal human beings but depraved animals. If they regain consciousness they'll try to rape you.
3) As well as AIDS, you could always catch the Gay. Given that gay people are always recruiting others to join their chosen perversion, any sign of affection to another of the same sex (let alone a gay one!) could lead to catching it.

You're likely most at risk of catching a cold while giving mouth to mouth to anyone- or herpes simplex, if the victim has an active cold sore. But then, the victim is also at risk of catching something from you.
If you haven't been trained in resucitation techniques and CPR, it's pretty easy to find a free or cheap course most places, and they will teach you all kinds of other useful emergency aid, like the Heimlich maneuvre (for choking on an object), how to treat children and infants (gently, they break easier than adults) who've stopped breathing, what to do about seizures, heavy bleeding and more.
Everyone should have this training. It doesn't take long to learn and chances are, unfortunately, good, that you will find a use for it someday, most likely not on a stranger but on one of your nearest and dearest.

I posed this question on another site, and two people said that instead of giving CPR, they would pray for the individual's soul. 
As for helping them, don't care what their skin color or sexual orientation may be, as that doesn't determine what qualifies one for eligibility for first aid. Being a human is enough.
