“That said, the evidence of disease and physical harm from aberrant sexual practices is not anecdotal, but empirical. “
HOWEVER, accurate MORTALITY data that is “gay” versus “straight” distinct, is not only NOT empirical, is is nonexistant. THAT, not the health matters, anecdotal or empirical, is the issue.
Not at all. The lack is irrelevant to whether homosexuality is harmful—it is, and given the prevalence of fatal STDs; it can be logically extrapolated that male homosexuality decreases that cohort’s lifespan. It’s only a matter of degree that cannot be determined.
Your argument is literally like saying since we cannot determine the exact number of heroin addicts killed by fentanyl; then we shouldn’t advance any argument against heroin use.
What sense does that make? The issue is never the issue, and the argument is never the argument. The perfect is always the enemy of good.
