Your argument against female homosexuality seems vacuous at best.

I've never given it much thought. Surely the human costs are the same going either way. Lower life expectancy, a succession of partners, greater exposure to AIDS and other STDs, the unconscious feelings of living an empty, lonely life. And so on. Can you suggest some others?

I made a deliberate effort to avoid religious or moral arguments against homosexuality. Many people will reject those arguments, because they don't have the same moral code. However, I could make those arguments if I so desired.

Actually, you might want to check this out. Lesbian women have a very, very low incidence of STDs of any kind, and AIDS is almost non-existent in that community, lower than in the general heterosexual community. As for feelings of emptiness and loneliness, you'll find that in all walks of life. It's part of our culture these days. Just sit and answer a crisis hotline phone for a few months and you'll hear lots and lots of stories from heterosexuals about loneliness and emptiness.

Fact is, lesbians are not harmed by their sexual preferences, and you won't find any statistics that indicate otherwise.

So, what's your objection to female homosexuality?

The only problem with your argument is not very well developed.

Just stating that lesbians have a lower life expectancy is not an argument; it is just your opinion which might not reflect the facts.

Similarty, claiming that lesbians have greater exposure to AIDS and other STDs for doing the same thing that straight males do every day in this country stretches credulity.

And the lonely life is just another opinion disguised as fact.

My only objection to female homosexuality is of religious nature; since we probably agree on the religious angle, there is no need to post it.
