denn034: "I cite a statistic about AIDS infections in the US and pakaal counters with an international one. 70% of AIDS infections IN THE UNITED STATES are gay related. Enough said."

You''re saying AIDS infects people of different sexual preferences depending on the country they live in? The worldwide statistic includes the US, by the way, and it disproves your theory that AIDS is a "Gay disease".

You can be a homophobe if you want, but it doesn''t change biological facts. If an infected person has s*x with another person, they will probably be infected, no matter which ***(es) are involved. There''s no sexual preference to this disease, period.

It''s OK, denn, as you''ll never understand it. You failed to counter the argument of encouraging ''coupling'' instead of being single. But your blinders are not going anywhere.

Just like straight marriage does not promote heterosexuality, neither does gay marriage do that for homosexuality.

The lack of sensible thought on this matter is why the Republicans exploit it. ..and the sheep will follow...
