So you mean to say all of the opinions then about homosexualoty posted by any member- since they're just opinions are also slander?
This logic doesn't fit with what I said, so I will address it another way.
You post statistics about homosexuals....the stats say they sleep around, some of them get hurt doing S+M, get hepatitis C at x rate, are sometimes pedophiles...ok...then say....this is what homosexuality endorses, do we want our kids seeing this?
Do you not see the gaping hole in logic you've hopped over? If you took your list and replaced the word gay with straight and plugged in the stats for straight people, one could make the case children aren't safe with straight people, either. But we know that isn't true. Those stats don't accurately reflect the entire population, and the intentions of most straight people who have children.
You've taken statistics and created a slanderous angle.
A great deal of black people are incarcerated, jail is bad for kids, but we know better than to say black people are dangerous to children in society. We know to look at that troubling social phenomenon for what it's worth, and what it is influenced by, instead of painting the blame on the color of their skin. The same should be done for gay people and their trouble social issues.
Anyway, most importantly, how would a child find out a gay person likes it rough in bed if the parenting you claim is essential is being done? It wouldn't, and it makes this whole "think about the children" thing and your list a clear mark of a fear of homosexuality.
Religion is not a good enough excuse to launch a campaign against the characters of homosexuals on the whole. I don't think having an STD, having multiple sex partners, and being into S+M makes a person dangerous to society.
The missing piece is causation. What do these statistics cause? Seems like that is opinion, and it's not valid as fact.
