"I am making this point to emphasize that male homosexuality is a serious physical danger to the participants and the community in which they live, something that cannot be said of females" Not true. AIDS and all sorts of sexual disease are transmitted just as easily by women. AiDS may have began with homosexuals, but no longer is it the only way to get it.

This is demonstrably not true. The odds of a man getting HIV from an infected woman are something on the order of 500-1 per encounter. The odds of a man getting it from an infected man are closer to 3-1. The odds of a woman getting it from an infected man are about 50-1.

AiDS may have began with homosexuals, but no longer is it the only way to get it.

I never said it was the only way to get AIDS. However, there is no "better" way to spread it than through male homosexuality, not by several orders of magnitude.
