I dont have it in for anyone, downbeat. I am only answering the question as posed by the OP.

They do themselves harm.
1 in 5 gay men in the USA has HIV, it rises to 1 in 2 in Frisco.
1 in 20 gay men in the UK has HIV, it rises to 1 in 10 in London.
Just to be clear - HIV is an incurable diease which requires daily medical intervention, if the infected person is to stay alive.
(this daily medcal care costs taxpayers a fortune).
The anti-viral drugs used to prevent HIV becoming AIDs are so aggressive that these themselves can (and do) actually cause death (via actue pancreaitis).
No-one talks much about HIV these days - a remarkable turn around from the very scary (and rightly so) health campaigns of the 1980s.
The reason no-one talks about it badly anymore is that, if homosexuality is to be normalised, then so too must HIV - because the two go hand in hand, as the figures show.

I didnt say I "wanted to get rid" of anyone. I only answered the OPs question. For a start, I do think many people would abort if they knew their unborn child was gay, and so if homosexuality could be prevented - thus preventing abortions - they that is obviously a good thing. The needless destruction of life is wrong.
You are right that, due to their physical bodies, Lesbians are not nearly as effective transmitters of HIV as are gay men.
However, there is a different set of health issues which goes along with Lesbianism, though I think its probably fair to say that they are not as equally serious as HIV, for the individual or society.
