I once met a gay man dying from AIDS in Seattle in the 90's. That's all I have to say about that.

That's like saying that all drivers are bad because some die in traffic accidents. Come to think of it...

Seriously though, heterosexuals aren't immune from HIV, so what exactly is your point? That makes no more sense than arguing that African Americans have a higher rate of HIV, therefore being African American is wrong and/or illogical and harmful.

I assume this supports your belief that lesbianism is superior since they have the lowest rate of infection among all orientations. I can understand that, but not everyone can be a lesbian.

Great point. Also, lesbians have the highest rates of monogamy, so you'd think persons who are truly concerned about STIs/public health would actually favor lesbian relationships.

The gay man I met in Seattle in the 90's was dying from AIDS. He didn't think anybody cared about him.

You still aren't addressing the issue posed to you. Lesbians have the highest rates of monogamy, and the lowest rates of HIV. So, by your logic wouldn't lesbian couples be considered superior to the two other couplings?

Define your criteria for "logical". Much human behavior is not really logical, so I am not sure this is a good way to judge homosexuality. It is simply another aspect of human behavior. Since statistically, about 15% of the human race are either practicing or non-practicing homosexuals, it probably even falls within the bounds of normal behavior.

Is it harmful? I have not seen any evidence that it is other than the fact that there is a lot of illogical hate and scorn being directed at gay people, which must be hard on them.

Reading some of the other posts on this thread, it seems you are anti-gay. If so, just chill out about the whole thing. Evolution will select against any genes that are associated with being gay since they are not being passed on. But this is a new thing - it used to be that prejudices forced gay people to remain in the closet and engage in sham marriages. They had kids and their genes would be passed on. It is no longer the case that gay folks have to remain in the closet, so if you are anti-gay, you should actually embrace gay marriage as a way to sweep those genes from the gene pool.

I can't answer that question because I am not a homosexual or a lesbian. The gay and lesbian community is an alternative lifestyle. Whatever makes them happy in life. Lesbians have known for quite some time they are extremely vulnerable to female seduction by another alluring woman.

OMFG! I've read some senseless statements on these forums, but that's one of the most pointless truisms I've ever read!

Yes, lesbians are vulnerable to seduction by other women. Heterosexual men are vulnerable to seduction by women. Heterosexual women are vulnerable to seduction by men (to a lesser degree). And homosexual men are vulnerable to seduction by other men. Oh, and bisexuals are vulnerable to seduction by both men and women.

So, I ask you again, what is your point? Because I'm still not seeing it. Virtually none of your posts seem to have one.

Eventually you might even grow to have one or two as a friend, and then you would see why it seems so petty and hateful for people to go out of their way to make sure they never find any happiness in their life.

Take baby steps. There are a lot of "gay starter friends" out there that won't freak you out. Just nice dudes that are like you in almost every respect, except who they love. Trust me, you'll get over your hatred if you give it a chance.
When did SuperSoul say he "hates" homosexuals?
