Reason enough to ignore them, and refuse to give them any more “anything”, that is not already stated in the Constitution.

It’s 98% that make up the 48% vs. 2% making up the 52% - in other words, minuscule by comparison for all other behaviors across the board.

MSM is about as safe and logical as putting the gas pump into the exhaust pipe.

The Negative Health Effects of Homosexuality (Classic for Your Files) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3105393/posts?page=72

In 2011, in the United States, MSM accounted for 79% of 38,825 estimated HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 years and older, and 78% of infections among all newly infected men. .- http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/gender/msm/facts/index.html

December 2, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Preliminary results from a Spanish study of sexually-active homosexuals indicates that seventy-five percent are carrying the Human Papiloma Virus (HPV), according to a report by Europa Press. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/75-of-sexually-active-homosexuals-are-carrying-human-papiloma-virus-study-s

A whopping 41% of people who are transgender or gender-nonconforming have attempted suicide sometime in their lives, nearly nine times the national average, according to a sweeping survey released three years ago. http://www.thetaskforce.org/reports_and_research/ntds
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-suicide-attempts-alarming-transgender-20140127,0,3324954.story#ixzz2vRHkyu7v

“nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians overweight or obese. National Institutes of Health (NIH) ” http://cnsnews.com/news/article/feds-spend-15-million-study-why-lesbians-are-fat

In the United States AIDS is fifty times more prevalent among men who have sex with men (’MSM’) than the rest of the population [2009]. CDC; http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/aids-rate-50-times-higher-in-homosexual-men-center-for-disease-control

Nearly 50% of sexually active homosexual men infected with the virus causing AIDS are unaware that they are carriers of the deadly disease [2010]. CDC http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cdc-20-of-gay-men-have-hiv-and-half-are-unaware-of-status

The rate of new HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men (MSM) is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women. CDC; http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cdc-gay-men-over-44-times-more-likely-hiv-than-hetero-men

Add to that the discounted lifetime cost of comprehensive treatment per HIV-infected person being $385,000 (undiscounted cost, $618,900). - http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/45/Supplement_4/S248.full

In 2012 the U.S. fertility rate was 63.0. the lowest rate on record since the since the government started tracking the fertility rate in 1909. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr62/nvsr62_09.pdf

God created man and women uniquely compatible and complimentary, and they alone are joined by God in marriage, with opposite genders being specified by both Genesis and personally by Jesus Christ. (Gn. 2:18-24; Mt. 19:4)

The Bible only condemns homosexual relations - by design and decree, in principle and by precept - and never sanctions them wherever they are manifestly dealt with, and the injunctions against them are part of the transcendent and immutable moral law. (Lv. 18:22; Rm. 1:26,27)

However, some of the first Christians were likely former homosexuals, (1Cor. 6:9-11) and there is room at the cross for all who want the Lord Jesus over sin, and believe upon Him to save them who died for them, and rose again. And who thus are baptized and follow Him, to the glory of God.

I was suggesting that the 2% make up far more than 52% of HIV cases due to people lying to their doctor about either their sexual orientation or their behavior. I suspect the real number is closer to 95% with the rest being IV drug users and those accidentally infected by careless medical treatment.

“So why do the 98 % have to bake them a damn cake?”

I made a argument a few months ago using similar numbers as it relates to "child molestation"...

A copy follows....

"Anna Salter reports that 38% of women were molested before the age of 18. 16% of men make the same claim. There’s also a claim that it’s 1 in 4 girls, 1 in 6 boys thrown around."

Thanks for getting back to me... I've never been accused of being a cleaver fellow but... using your figures it would seem that homos being, what, 5% of the population (roughly) leaving 95% being straight, and considering that 1 in 4 girls as compared to 1 in 6 boys being abused would mean that queers are, by FAR AND AWAY more likely to be child molesters then straight folk.... That is assuming boys on girls and boys on boys... Am I wrong..?? I had two grandmothers (born in the late 1800's) that were married at 14 years old.. Both married men in their mid 20's... Back in those days it was quite common... Nowadays you can get arrested for that sort of thing But, it goes without saying.... Boys on girls is the natural order of things.. whereas boy on boys is a perversion of nature..... Yes..??

Once again the fool takes the stick an whacks the hornets nest..!

If 2% were gay. That means for every 100 people, that 2 are gay.

That flies in the face of your “25 men” figure.

If 2% of the POPULATION are gay/bi MEN;

AND roughly 50% of the population are FEMALES;

Then 1 in 25 MEN are gay/bi.

I agree that the presentation of statistics in the article could be more clear.

Go to Craigslist and look at Casual Encounters. Don’t click on anything with a pic.

You will be educated in why this problem exists.
