That is a value of the secular humanists. It isn't a value of my culture.

Never learned that God hated when I was a Christian. It was alway God loves you , Jesus Loves you etc. Are you Muslim by chance?

If there is a god... he/she must hate you!
Any god I've heard of does not hate. You are one of the problems in this world with that attitude. I sure hope your kids grow up to learn better then what you teach them.

Put all the homosexuals on island one and all the lesbians on island two and in a few generations the islands will become dead. Neither produce anything and that is not natural or a standard considered normal.

Despite that they should be allowed in peace to work and so forth. To have access to children's minds? No IMO!
Isn't your example rather illogical?

Put all heterosexual men on one island, and all heterosexual women on another island, and assuming they don't have boats, those islands will be dead too.

What religion are you? Because you certainly aren't a Christian.

Being gay is ok with the flying spaghetti monster (the one true god, or was that the visible pink unicorn?) so no need to worry.

As I have pointed out, ad nauseaum, on this very forum, gay men make up only half (more or less) of the total homosexual population. AND, I'd note, gay WOMEN have the lowest rates of disease of all orientations, including heterosexuals.

Perhaps everyone should be a lesbian??

STDs among lesbian and bisexual women
Can women give other women STDs? Yes.

source

There is a misconception among health care providers and women themselves that lesbian and bisexual women have little or no risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STD). This myth is fueled by the lack of reliable studies of STD transmission in these communities.

In fact, the risk of STD transmission between women varies significantly depending on the STD. Herpes, HPV (genital wart virus), and bacterial vaginosis are transmitted fairly easily between women during sex. HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, and chlamydia are much less likely to be transmitted--the risk is low but it is still possible.

The majority of lesbian and bisexual women have (or have had) sex with men, and all STDs are easily transmitted from men to women during intercourse. Often STD do not have symptoms, so it is possible for a woman to have become infected years ago and to still harbor the infection.

It is important that you share your particular sexual history with a GLBT-friendly health care provider who can advise you of the appropriate STD screening tests for you. All women, including lesbian and bisexual women, need to receive regular Pap tests.

HIV

Often people worry more about HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) than about any other STD. HIV is transmitted when infected sexual fluids or blood enter another person's bloodstream.

There are little research specifically concerning woman-to-woman transmission of HIV. It has been documented in several studies that women who have had sex only with other women, and have not used intravenous drugs, are at low risk for HIV. Although there are case reports of woman-to-woman transmission through oral sex or shared sex toys, this is an uncommon transmission route. The risk of exposure to HIV in menstrual blood is not known, but could provide another means of transmission between women.

Women who have had sexual contact with men, which includes the majority of women who identify as lesbian, have a higher risk for HIV. Women who have had unprotected sex with gay or bisexual men, or men who have injected drugs, are at an especially high risk.
