Homosexuality is a contagious disease caused by mental trauma (usually molestation).

Sorry, John, maybe that was the case in your unfortunate experience, but that's not a scientifically supportable assertion.

According to the "Gay report" (Unfortunately I've not been able to find an online version and the book itself cost over $40) 73% of homosexuals have molested children under the age of 18.

The "Gay report"? What is this "Gay report"? Statistics like that are marketed to the true believers of the anti-gay crowd who will accept it at face value without any kind of critical examination. If you have a conclusion to support, there are statistics somewhere to support it. I don't believe any kind of cite of statistics like this without a hard look at who did the study, their study methods, and their affiliations.

The greatly increased risk of child molestation by those who also practice homosexual behavior is enough to outlaw this deviant behavior by itself.

You assert incorrectly that homosexuals molest more children than heterosexuals. But logically, if we outlaw homosexuality (nevermind how we could go about that!) because homosexuals molest children, then we must also outlaw heterosexuality Heterosexuals also molest children.

You're letting your passion overtake your logic.

read scripters database. The data overwhelmingly supports my contentions here.

The "Gay report"? What is this "Gay report"?

Jay, K., and Young, A. (1977). The Gay Report: Lesbian and gay men speak out about their sexual experiences and lifestyles. New York: Summit.

Both authors are 'gay' men. more detail can be found but I'll let you look for yourself. I can't force you to learn

You assert incorrectly that homosexuals molest more children than heterosexuals.

Read scripter's databse. Or read CDC numbers on molestations. Over 30% are same-sex molestations. yet 'homosexuals' comprise only 2-3% of the population. Looks pretty clear that 'homosexuals' molest more than non-homosexuals do (on a per capita basis)

But logically, if we outlaw homosexuality (nevermind how we could go about that!) because homosexuals molest children, then we must also outlaw heterosexuality Heterosexuals also molest children.

Molestation is illegal and should be prosecuted to the extreme whenever proven. Since the odds are far greater that someone who practices homosexual behavior will also molest homosexual behavior should be outlawed (this is not the only reason however, just one of many).

Heterosexuals on the other hand have an incidence of molestation that is in the noise comparatively. While every population will contain some aberrant individuals every person who practices homosexual behavior is aberrant. You're letting your passion overtake your logic.

Logic says that you shouldn't use an exit as an entrance. Logic states that two men (or two women) cannot reproduce and hence what they are doing is unnatural. Logic states that a person known to perform behavior which is highly concurrent with molestation cannot be trusted
