Sancho You might not agree but try and be a little honest and stop denying the obvious

'For example, one 1982 study mentioned in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the anal cancer rate for homosexuals is way above normal, maybe as high as 50 times normal.1 And a 1997 New England Journal of Medicine study again drew attention to the "strong association between anal cancer and male homosexual contact."2 (The reason for the connection is that the lining of the anus, as opposed to the much thicker lining of the vagina, is only a single cell in thickness, tears easily, and thus is an easy point of entry for viruses and bacteria. J Anal sex frequently results in damage to the anus and rectum.

Another study found that: 1) 80% of syphilitic patients are homosexual; 2) about one-third of homosexuals are infected with active anorectal herpes simplex viruses; 3) chlamydia infects 15% of homosexuals; and 4) "a host of parasites, bacterial, viral, and protozoan are all rampant in the homosexual population."3

Another study found that: 1) amoebiasis, a parasitic disease, afflicts around 32% of homosexuals; 2) giardiasis, also a parasitic disease, afflicts 14% of homosexuals (no heterosexuals in the study were found to have either amoebiasis or giardiasis); 3) gonorrhea afflicts 14% of homosexuals; and 4) 11% of homosexuals had anal warts.4

Another study found that anorectal sepsis, a potentially toxic bacterial infection, is 4 times more common in homosexual than heterosexual men.5

And other studies have found abnormally high rates of hepatitis B infection,7 hepatitis A infection,8 prostate cancer,9 colitis, enteritis, proctitis, and proctocolitis10 in homosexual men.

In 1997 a writer for the pro-homosexual New York Times noted that a young male homosexual in America has about a 50% chance of getting H.I.V. by middle age, that many homosexuals have abandoned "safe sex" in favor of unprotected anal sex, and that the incidence of gonorrhea rose 74% among homosexuals between 1993 and 1996.11

Your analysis fails to take account of the increase in heterosexual anal sexual practices. Are you suggestion that heterosexuals who practice anal sex are equally anti-family and diseased? If so, what is your solutions. Should we all become lesbians as most lesbians do not practice anal sex?

Also, your link between homosexuality and disease is flayed as it does not take account of at least half the gay community, ie, lesbians who do not practice anal sex.

Just a side issue. If homosexuals, as is frequently suggested, should keep their lifestyles in their bedrooms, I would hope that heterosexuals would return the favour. That means no heterosexual content on television, movies,in magazines. This would also mean no heterosexual public kissing or holding hands etc. The argument that I don't care about homosexuality as long as it is kept in the bedroom is a ridiculous argument. Unlike, heterosexuals, many homosexuals relationships are not 100 percent defined or shaped by sex. Just because most heterosexual relationship are based on sex (which seems to be the case from the ridicules notion of 'keep it in the bedroom')does not mean that all homosexual relationships are. Hence, there is so much more homosexual relationship than just sex so how can it be confined to a bedroom?

'Your analysis fails to take account of the increase in heterosexual anal sexual practices. Are you suggestion that heterosexuals who practice anal sex are equally anti-family and diseased?'

It is obvious that it is totally unnatural and perverted to practice anal sex of the homosexual variety or any other. In prison they refer to such participants as dogs. You fail to show the link to studies showing how anal sex leads to the spreading of disease is flawed. You introduce other issues and deny the obvious. Anal sex is unhealthy and a great spreader of disease. I grant that lesbianism does not spread disease as does those practicing anal sex. Lesbianism is however a perversion all the same. Some padeophiles claim their urges are 'natural'.

Your observation that heterosexuals should keep their lifestyles in their bedrooms is interesting. It is true that the sexual 'revolution' of the 60's opened the gate to every perversion under the sun. Homosexuality is the end result of generations of people who have failed to honour marriage vows. That is why society has only itself to blame for the current epidemic in child abuse, homosexuality, fornication and adultery. We have generations of people with no self control and who are so controlled by their lusts they can't hold a family together.

It seems that because so many have failed in family life they now are only to willing to destroy other families. Instead of repenting and turning to the only One who can forgive them they go from worse to worse. Pornography is not only viewed by many but also promoted in order to entrap people in their lusts Unfortunately morals are learn't from the TV rather that from God's Word.

If anyone is interested to find out where the gay lobby is trying to take us, they can refer to the thread "Canada 1984 the Gulag of inHUMAN RIGHTS" and see just how full of anti-Christian, anti-Jew, anti-critic hate and intolerance the gay movement is.

Each step toward more legal recognition will result in more bullying and intimidation of anyone critical of their views and lifestyle.

Sweden convicted a pastor of a hate crime, for using language not much more colorful than used in the Bible when describing homosexual behavior
when preaching in his own church.

Fortunately the European Commission on Human Rights (thus far) caused the Swedish appelate court to overturn this horrible conviction.

It does not change the fact that the homosexual lobby will increasingly seek not 'equality' but power and a huge legal stick with which to beat its opponents insensible.

The real danger for non homosexuals who have trouble with such behavior is just like when the Unions have 'their people' in industrial tribunals.. they can determine the outcome irrespective of the law itself.

Kipp asks 'what is your fear of gay people'? simple.. it is fear of oppression and marginalization,victimization, and discrimination.
Then the legitimate fear also of a devient and unnatural behavior being taught in schools as a normal and legitimate expression of human sexuality, is also abhorrent.

Homosexual behavior and acts are unquestionably on a par with any devient sexual behavior, but being adults and consent is used to justify it. Nothing can justify it. But for those who are burdened with such desires, the brain chemistry is not set in concrete, and unless you believe that a paedophile who claims he was 'born' that way cannot be helped, (and thus made lawfl)you should hold hope for personal renewal

"'what is your fear of gay people'? simple.. it is fear of oppression and marginalization,victimization, and discrimination."

After millennia of doing these things to us, it's not surprising that you fear we will do it to you.

Rest easy, David. Sexual minorities seek equality, nothing less and nothing more.

Living in a society where all minorities are treated equally will make you and your children safer.
