Passive homophobia is beneficial to heterosexuals

"First of all very few, if any, diseases are restricted to the non-heterosexual community, and it is not as if all man and woman couples partners are both straight. So those diseases homophobia is 'protecting straight people from, aren't really limited to homosexuals" This is a straw man fallacy. I never claimed that heterosexuals don't contract diseases. My point is, Homosexual behavior is a HIGH HEALTH RISK and so participating in Homosexual behavior greatly increases the risk of contracting deadly stds. "Guess who else was affected by the HIV crisis? Sex workers, Indians, children and infants, Asians, pregnant women, African Americans, and Transgender people" 1. This is a Tu QuoQue fallacy. Your claim does not change the fact that homosexual behavior is a high health risk behavior. 2. Many Transgender people are gay. Just because a gay man dresses like a woman doesn't make him a woman. Here is proof in addition to the links in round one that Homosexual behavior is in fact a high health risk behavior. "The study authors estimate that if receptive anal intercourse were only as risky as vaginal intercourse, HIV cases would fall by 80 percent to 98 percent among gay and bisexual men over five years" http://consumer.healthday.com... "The rate of primary and secondary syphilis among MSM is more than 46 times that of other men and more than 71 times that of women, the analysis says. The range was 91-173 cases per 100,000 MSM vs. 2 per 100,000 other men and 1 per 100,000 women" "While CDC data have shown for several years that gay and bisexual men make up the majority of new HIV and new syphilis infections, CDC estimated the rates of these diseases for the first time based on new estimates of the size of the U.S. population of MSM" https://www.lifesitenews.com... "Homophobia=dislike of or prejudice against homosexual people Disgust= a feeling of revulsion or profound disapproval aroused by something unpleasant or offensive Homophobia is based on prejudice and (in my opinion a petty) dislike of homosexuals. Disgust is not disease avoiding behavior it is disapproval. As seen by the definitions above Homophobia is based on dislike, not 'disease avoidance behavior' as you have so eloquently put it" Here's proof that homophobia is in fact a disease avoidance behavior. Homophobia = disgust Disgust = disease avoidance behavior Homophobia disease avoidance Studies show homophobia is rooted in DISGUST, not fear (olantunji 2001) http://mentalhealth.about.com...
