Tell you what,

You give me a straight answer as to whether we can deduce from the AIDS figures that homosexuality, unqualified, is by its nature an unhealthy practice, and I'll make the effort to find the post to which I have referred.

Your apparent avoidance of the question is puzzling.

I'm not asking you if you think it is unhealthy, I'm asking you whether you think the stats support a view that it is unhealthy.

If so how.

The intent of my question by now is pretty clear so I wouldd appreciate a straight answer.

By the way, heres another parallel tobe going along with.

Reading a book on a cliff face is dangerous. But this does not mean that literacy is unhealthy.

Reading a book on a cliff face whilst using the appropriate safety precautions is much safer.

Likewise, unprotected sex between homosexuals in the UK is risky, but this does not mean that homosexuality is unhealthy.

Sex between homosexuals who use appropriate safety precautions is much safer.

Interestingly,

unprotected sex between heterosexuals in the UK is risky, but this does not mean that heterosexuality is unhealthy.

Sex between heterosexuals who use appropriate safety precautions is much safer.

The common factor in all three unsafe examples is a lack of concern for safety.

The common factor in AIDS sufferers is also a lack of concern for safety.

Not homosexuality.
