Tia... as always, you deserve a response.
You are correct in stating that female homosexuals have lower than average STD rates, but my stance has always been on health issues affecting male homosexuals.

There are still a large number of people worldwide who oppose "gay marriage", not on health grounds, for most of them are quite unaware of the official statistics....but on grounds of religion, or family structure, etc.....their views are just as valid as those of people who believe in "equality"
