Discriminatory language in the terms of a christian forum.

So it's a good thing we already have laws against domestic violence and are pretty much united in thinking STDs and self harm are bad, isn't it?

This isn't an argument against homosexuality any more than it would be an argument against clothes: did you know the majority of all of those things occur to people who wear clothes?

Seriously, what's next in free association theater, Lion? Even if your stats were correct- and I doubt it- you've only made an argument against those specific bad things, you haven't gone one inch toward making a link between them and homosexuality, because those things don't always occur between gay couples, nor are they exclusive to them. The majority of rapes are committed by men, but I don't see you advocating the idea that being male is intrinsically harmful: could it be that you have a religious bias informing your opinions instead of facts?

Oh, and while you can't really link a genetic thing like homosexuality to a behavioral one like domestic violence, you can link two behavioral ones, like, say... religion and domestic violence. Care to guess which group has the most intense level of domestic violence by religious beliefs, Lion?

I'll give you a hint: it's the most fundamentalist group.
