I asked:
Does it present a danger to others in society?"

You stated:

Firstly, there is no fucking argument, just read the latest UNAIDS hiv update! Look at male homosexual life expectancy figures! check homosexual promicuity statistics!(from a reputable source like UNAIDS or CDC)

My response....OK, lets say it does present a danger to permiscious male homosexuals and their unknowing partners....so where is the danger to others in society, including you and me? I see none.

You say:
Secondly, homosexuality is being presented to the public by the legislators as a safe and healthy lifestyle, by changing the definition of marriage to accomodate homosexuals and by making homosexual fostering of young children legal.

I do not see whereunhealthy permiscious male homosexual activity has anything to do with two committed homosexuals (male/male, female female, or others) making a lifelong committment to each other...as those in the herterosexual communitiy do. Both can be healthy and I suspect loving.

BTW, I suspect herterosexuals participating in permiscious behaviour also presents a similar danger.

You say:
Other minority groups which indulge in dangerous sexual behaviour (like incest) would not receive these "rights"and before you say "incest is illegal", homosexual practice would still be illegal if the current health figures were available at the time of de-criminalisation.

My response: I do not see the logic in this. Incest and rape are illegal and socially rejected in most western societies....regardless of who does it.
Again...you continue to lump all homosexual relationships together under one category...It is illogical to do this....and while you may have a case to debate....this gets in the way of thoughtful debate....which it seems you seek.
