You are a stubborn cuss, which I respect. As such, you have repeatedly said that those of us in favort of extending the civil rights of marriage to the gay community are ignoring the concomitant HIV/AIDs problem.

Quite the contrary. There is no doubt AIDS/HIV is a problem. It just has absolutely no reasonable hard-coupled connection with whether or not minorities should be discriminated against.

No-one claims cancer-victims are discriminated against because they get radiation therapy. But if you tried to deny them the right to marry, you'd be facing serious charges of bringing back extreme eugenics. A really bad idea. I trust the parallel does not escape you.
