Logical,
From the report:High Rates Of Sexual Promiscuity
Dr. Maria Xiridou published a study in a 2003 edition
of AIDS, which reveals that homosexual couples
in Amsterdam engage in what can be called
consensual infidelity.
Dr. Xiridou was studying the spread of HIV among
homosexuals in The Netherlands and found that
HIV was spread more rapidly among homosexual
couples who considered themselves to be in
“steady” relationships. These couples failed to
engage in “safe sex” and were involved in 6-10
additional sexual encounters outside of the primary
relationship each year.
quote:More willful ignorance on your part. The argument that homosexuals "have every right the heterosexuals have" is simply false. Using the same logic, black people had the same rights as white people wrt interracial marriage.
Your assumption that simply because a person is a male homosexual that they would want to be married and yet not want to fulfill the marriage vows is simply not credible. There are many, many examples of long term monogamous gay couples.
However, since those couples do not support your desire of showing that homosexuals are not worthy of marriage, you just ignore their existence.
Black people do have every right for marriage if it is One man and one woman. Marriage by definition is between one man and one woman.
According to reliable reports, Homosexuals make up somewhere about 1.3% of the population. According to studies cited here, over 80% have had or have between 30 and 60 different partners. By many studies, those #s about the amount of partners is low. Some studies show 100's of partners for many homosexual males.
So in view of this, you are asking society as a whole, to throw out established principles of marriage to placate the alternate lifestyles of less than 1% of the population. Moreover you want the federal government to force this change on the other 99% of the population, and you say you are not for "special" rights, all the while, over 80% of the people who get these new forced rights, are not the least bit interested in them as they prefer a lifestyle of multiple lovers.
