Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
To add to my last post, the common view on various websites that I have visited since I last added to this thread is that women are more than twice as susceptible to HIV transmission as men during unprotected heterosexual sex.

So for an average of 1 chance in 10 to be achieved, it follows that women have somewhere between a 1 in 7 and a 1 in 6 chance, ccompared to around a 1 in 14 to 1 in 16 chance in men.

This means that gay men, who have a 1 in 3 chance of being infected during unprotected sex, are not anything like 50 times more likely to catch Aids from unprotected sex than women, but in fact just over twice as likely.

So not only are the arguments against the "homosexual lifestyle" flawed, but on analyisis, the statistical assertions about the risks faced by homosexuals are incorrect too.
