It is more imporant to make allowances for social custom to slow this pandemic then it is to worry it will lead to marriage between gay and lesbians.
Every additional infected person endangers - and costs - this nation. I would rather see gays and lesbians stick to one partner then to sleep around.
And the only way I see that happening is if there is the social incentive of some form of sanctioned social bond between these people.
Less of a culture of "sleeping around" in this sub-culture makes it less likely bi-sexual men will bring something home to their wives.
I am not saying my suggestion is perfect, but anything done to cut the rate of spread of HIV that works seems to me to be worth doing.
This "pandemic" is a self-inflicted result of their deviant lifestyle. It affects so few people who are not gay, IVDA, or promiscuous. I think we should cease treatment of AIDS and then see how many people continue to put themselves at risk. They are only spreading it among themselves, so let's just let them die off.

I think this solution would cut the spread of HIV, don't you? Is this worth doing? I sure like it a lot better than your idea.
Disclaimer: I don't really advocate this method. I only suggest it to prove a point.
Come on. Homosexuals can get 'married' in certain churches (like the Unitarian Church), they can have their 'unions' in Vermont, etc. At the end of the day, NOTHING prevents them from committing to be faithful to one another. But they don't. They are highly promiscuous, and (for homosexual men especially), their lives revolve around promiscuous sex.
