I've said this before, and once again (why do I feel like a broken record?), homosexuality itself isn't deadly. Promiscuity is. The fact is, all committed and/or protected relationships have an extremely reduced correlation with STDs; gay or straight. If you cite stats, you're probably citing stats on gay sluts. Well, the same thing happens with straight sluts. There are gay committed relationships out there; countless examples, and when you examine their stats, they're as good as straight.

I don't claim to be smarter than any deity. However, I do claim to be smarter than some of the text writers (humans) that did their work hundreds or thousands of years ago. Do you eat pork, ham, bacon, etc? If so, it's against the bible's teachings. If someone chops off your junk, you're not allowed in heaven. If some deity sends me to some kind of hell when I call bullshit on that, then fine. I'll at least be the one being moral and/or ethical. The bible has over 400 contradictions, and that's just looking at one religion.

Your experience with gays must be limited reality. My experience includes dozens of gays that I've worked for plus family (one of which is a very close family member at age 39 and two other more distant relatives in their 50s), none of which have a single STD that I know of.

Finding love and happiness isn't all that hard for the gays I've known. It even appears that they've been just as successful as I have been. As a matter of fact, every gay I know over age 25 is in a committed relationship, and every angry-and-alone person I know over 25 is straight.

Finally, sex is not at all the primary motivation behind being gay, unless you're willing to concede that sex is the primary motivation of being straight. It just doesn't make sense otherwise.
