In a dramatic shift, most Republicans now oppose same-sex marriage

[Maccabee]

Diseases are spread through multiple sexual contact with multiple partners. However, some sexual activity can and does bring about damage to body parts when not used as intended and that in turn can bring about serious life threatening infection.

As I've already stated, vaginal damage during heterosexual intercourse is also prevalent. Aside from the fact that cis women can experience up to a 73% chance of injuring themselves during sexual activity, if you're truly that concerned about body damage then nobody should ever get pregnant. Plenty of women died during pregnancy, especially back before modern medicine.

If individuals only had sex with their spouse there would be no spread of venereal diseases.

Same for gay couples. Right? If not, why not?

Straight and gay couples may have sex before marriage...or may wait. Right?

People often apply their personal values, opinions, influence to jobs they may perform (examples would include: teaches, lawyers, child advocates, judges, and even parents). This goes without saying.

So your position is that the people who hold those occupations are generally irresponsible? Yes or no? Because that's the point of yours that I was using with those examples.

Your comment only shows your complete lack in knowledge on the subject. Is it really that unfathomable for you to think that maybe gays and lesbians can express love and romance for each other beyond "fishing buddies"? Also homosexuality has existed since even before humans, so it's not anything recent.

Homosexuality and Bisexuality were a huge part of the Grecian fabric in ancient times. Men of nobility took young men as "companions" with whom they also shared their concubines.

Homosexuality wasn't "bad" until some Bishop go caught screwing a novis.

Why wouldn't we act "immature", as you put it, when it comes to sex? We're animals with a strong sex drive. If anything, we should have multiple partners to better our chances of survival.


Why would that be the case? As social animals, we have sex for more than just procreating. We also have sex to create mutual bonds and pleasure.


In what way? Who is defining what is or isn't mature when it comes to two (or more) consenting adults having sex?

Again, how is it backwards?

"Marriage" was a religious invention.

It gave the medicine man or priest control over who was born to whom in the tribe.

That's a lot of power

Significant modes of transmission include injection drug use, mother-to-child transmission, and sometimes blood transfusions. And this would indeed affect straight individuals, but in the US, the most common transmission of HIV is among the homosexual population.

But that doesn't mean that all gay sex results in HIV infection.

Greek Roman societies did look down on it
