What homosexuals do together is not actually sex - sex is where two partners physically combine their sex organs; this is actually impossible for homosexuals to do, because their bodies are not physically complimentary like those of heterosexuals.
(It is often called "sex" however, mostly for the sake of peoples feelings.)
Homosexuals get past the fact that their bodies are not compatible by using artificial means. (for example, artificial lubricant to fit a penis where it is not meant to go, or some form of sex toy for lesbians, to make up for the fact that they cannot boast a single penis between them).
This fact shows up the "gay animals" rubbish for what it is. Animals fundamentally lack the capacity to use artificial means to overcome the physical state of their bodies, which is why we will never genuinely identify "gay animals" via them having penetrative 'sex' together. They simply cannot.

Hi apophenia,
Sorry it took a while to repond to your post.
The info you posted is completely erroneous.
The common charge is that it is specifically Catholic (mainsteam Christian) teaching which is responsible for HIV in Africa.
I have shown this is comprehensively not the case, because those affected are overwhelmingly not-Catholic, and so Catholic teaching has no relevance to their behaviour or condition.
For the purpose of this analysis only the identities Catholic and not-Catholic are relevant.

They're both equally compatible in a certain way
No they are not.
Same sex bodies are not sexually compatible, like opposite sex bodies are.
This is a basic fact, one which we have long understood through human bioloigy.
Please stop denigrating established science in order to try and portray homo- and heteorsexuality as being similar.
They are not similar.

Mainstream Christian opinion is chiefly based on biological science, and what it tells us about human sexuality. (ts no surprise to us that the Bible condemns homosexuality, but it doesnt make very convincing argument of its own accord - it just issues a dictat)
