My opnion is based primarily on the good of the individual. I dont think any gay people would choose to be gay, and I think people would generally be happier and more fulfilled in life with a conventional relationship and family. Despite widespread political correctness and social pretence, homosexuality can never duplicate the features and strengths of a heterosexual relationship.
Ther would also be wider social benefits - HIV would essentially disappear in the west, for a start. (In western society, the disease affects gay men almost exclusively).
Not all, but many gay people I encounter on forums, websites generally, the media etc seem to be in a constant state of anger about something or other. Often it is because someone has aired a different opinion to theirs, especially if it is about gay "marriage" or "gay families". I dont think its healthy or constructive to be constantly angry.
I do not regard this opinion as being controversial, not even slightly. Many babies are aborted because of tiny imperfections, (and ones which can be fixed medically), such as a cleft-pallette or haired-lip.
Judging by this, I certainly think some people would abort, if they could prove their unborn child would turn out gay, so obviously many people would choose to prevent homosexuality occuring if they could.
Why do theists have it in for the gays? They aren't doing anybody any harm.
About HIV, lesbian sex is the least likely of all to transmit the disease so do they have an out or would you get rid of them too?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
