""Why do you think that to debate public health "encourages bigotry"?
I would have thought that discussion of public health matters was beneficial to society?""

The bottom line is that you will only debate the miniscule proportion of "public health" relating to male homosexuals, and that when asked if your objections would cease on the finding of a positive cure for HIV/AIDS, the best response we have elicited from you is ""There are other considerations"".

This last removes any doubt in our minds that it is the existence of male homosexuals to which you object, rather than the health of the public at large.
