"So once again I say that "human rights" are not universal, but conditional on our behaviour."

No quarrel with that, Ake. It would be irresponsible for an agency to place a child in a foster home with a drug addict or person with psychiatric problems, and possible with an elderly couple who, no matter how well-intentioned, might be too infirm to properly care for a child.

One must consider the rights of the child, which include the right to be raised in a safe and nurturing home.

But—

". . . if the health statistics for the practice of homosexuality are studied, it will be found that the practice is at least as dangerous as drug addiction, citing poor life expectancy and high risk of psychiatric and physical health problems."

Not true for the kind of stable relationships that legalizing same-sex marriage would (and does) encourage. It is promiscuity, whether among gays or straights, that accounts for the health risks you speak of.

And if you want psychiatric problems, let me introduce you to a woman I am acquainted with who was lesbian for most of her life, until "cured." She used to be fairly happy-go-lucky, but after her "cure," she is one of the most chronically angry and unhappy people I've ever met. But, by God, she's not a lesbian any more! She'll beat the crap out of you if you suggest otherwise. She's very sensitive about the matter (a little denial at work, perhaps?).
