Debate: What do you think about homosexuals? And about homosexuality?
Side: Normal

If you would be so kind, I would very much like to see the specific studies these statistics are being quoted from, and not just the regurgitated babble from a homeschooling manual. When talking about studies, it's pretty important to be given all the date (60% of a sample size of 10 isn't terribly significant, while it would be more concerning if it was say 60% of the population of the United States). Additionally, in reference to your point about the number of sexual partners, honestly I don't see any reason why having a lot is terribly bad. As long as the individuals are consenting, practicing safely and responsibly, it is of no matter to me (and actually it isn't any matter of mine anyway to butt into or judge their sex life).The AIDS victim stastic about the the number of partners is rather telling. Obviously, those who are more promiscuous are at a higher risk of contracting the disease. However, that doesn't mean that those who are demographically similar (i.e. homosexuals in general rather than promiscuous homosexuals) are similarly prone to the disease. As for the "86% of homosexual males use various drugs to enhance and increase their sexual stimulation," I'd have to question the definition of drugs. Are we talking Viagra? Alcohol? Marijuana? Or other harder drugs? I have a feeling it's one of the first three. And on top of that, I would have to put this stastic into perspective by asking what is the percentage of heterosexual male and females that partake in "drugs to enhance and increase their sexual stimulation."Speaking of life expectancy and suicidal risks, I'd have to ask you a question. Have you ever heard of bullying? LGBTQ teenagers (and adults, really) are perseceuted or bullied daily, either in the schoolyard by intentionally malicious upstarts, passively by a culture that uses "gay" as a synonym for stupid, or actively by the various governments and institutions around the world that either make homosexuality a crime or relegate homosexuals to second class citizenship. I wonder if it's perhaps these unique pressures (torments, rather in the extreme cases of suicides) that give rise to the higher likelihood of suicides.I'm sorry, but until you can provide something other than references to an out of date homeschooling manual, you cannot be taken seriously. Also please try to not misquote, misrepresent, or use outdated data. The Kinsey Institute has updated their information. Additionally, after a bit of digging, I found some analyses off the Bell and Weinberg study (from which a majority of your stats are taken). Common critiques (as I alluded to earlier) are that the homosexual sample size was not taken at random (while the heterosexual sample was), the heterosexual data was not given (so we can't really compare the homosexual data and say, "Oh look how promiscuous they are," when in fact, since data wasn't included, heterosexuals may be more promiscuous), and the way the homosexual data was collected was from locations that weren't necessarily the best places to find your average Jane/Joe homosexual (e.g. singles bars and gay baths). Try to do some digging next time.(and here's some more links: http://www.exodusglobalalliance.org/ishomosexualityhealthyp60.php  is probably where you would find the information you would want to throw at me to counter my pointsand here's the Kinsey Institute's updated info: http://www.kinseyinstitute.org/resources/FAQ.html) )
