The following statistics compare the rates of disease between homosexual men and the rest of the population. (CDC stands for Centre of Disease Control.)

These figures are particularly interesting given that homosexual men account for less than 5% of the population.

Because the walls of the colon are designed to absorb moisture, those who engage in anal sex (particularly with multiple partners) are far more like to get an STD than those who do not. The stats on the CDC website highlight this fact.

Should homosexuality be allowed in our society? Yes, but it should not be encouraged. Why? Because people have a right to know what risks are involved with any kind of risky behaviour (that's why we put warning labels on cigarette packets).

Does God hate homosexuals? No, He loves all people. But just because He loves all people, He cannot condone behaviour which harms those He loves. Behaviour that harms those who engage in the behaviour is what the Bible calls sin.
