but I was responding to someone's attempt to make a connection between anti-smoking advocateswith pro-homosexual activists.

I am the one that made the comment, and it was only in response to being compared, as a smoker, to the pro-homosexual activists. It was no attempt to make any connection with anti-smoker advocates to gay adctivists, it was just stating facts in the face of blatant falsehoods.

No. You are wrong and I was not making a "blatant falsehood". I was not comparing smokers to homo-activists. I was stating that smokers, like homosexuals, engage in behaviors that increase the risk of illness. That is not false. You were linking anti-smoking activists with pro-homo activists, engaging in a logical fallacy.
