I agree with everything you've said apart from this.
What about all those Heterosexual College kids who don't want relationships and sleep with anything with a pulse? What about all of those heterosexuals who have pay for sex with prostitutes?
I'm not saying that Heterosexuals are worse than homosexuals for promiscuity, but i'd say it was fairly equal on both sides.
I do understand where you're coming from though.
I didn't vote because "Duh" was not an option.
Keep in mind that monogamy is the determining factor, sexual preference is not.
HIV, contrary to popular belief, is more prevalent among heterosexuals. If you sleep with someone who has HIV, whether you're gay or not, you're going to get it.
I think only gay people believe what your trying to sell.

Uh, do some research - plus it's common sense.
If ONE person has no STDs, and their PARTNER has no STDs, and neither of them sleep with anyone else, guess what? No STDs!
HIV does not magically appear out of thin air because of homosexual sex. It comes from sleeping around and PICKING IT UP SOMEWHERE.
First of all, where are your sources and statistics? And most importantly what are the proportions? You can't just make a claim like that without providing a source. It makes you lose your credibility. Here are some well backed up stats:Then explain the problem of HIV/AIDS in Africa. The women who have it and the children they pass it onto.
I can assure you that not every African is gay, and in many places in Africa Homosexuality is legal and in a few countries you can be put to death for being gay.

"Gay and bisexual men have comprised the largest proportion of the HIV epidemic in the United States since the first cases were reported in the 1980s, and that has not changed. They still comprise the greatest proportion of infections nationally." - Obama
“Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2% of the US population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV. In 2010, MSM accounted for 63% of all new HIV infections” – CDC
“1 in 5 Gay/Bi Men Have HIV, Nearly Half Don't Know” - WebMD

Until I read this thread, I had no idea that there still existed people who were unaware that AIDS is primarily heterosexually transmitted in Africa, the continent on which it is most common.

It's hard for me to believe that if God is punishing the gays with HIV, He's not punishing Africa for being...African?
Wikipedia? Really? The other website only talks about numbers who have had AIDS. But numbers without proportions are meaningless when it comes to the scientific question of who's more likely to get AIDS and who isn't. Provide some percentages. For example, the following proportion tells us that actively bisexual and homosexual men are far more likely to get AIDS than anyone else:Statistics: Worldwide

7. STDs
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) occur in sexually active gay men at a high rate. These include STD infections for which effective treatment is available (syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, pubic lice, and others), and for which no cure is available (HIV, Hepatitis, Human Papilloma Virus, herpes, etc). There is absolutely no doubt that safe sex reduces the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, and prevention of these infections through safe sex is key. The more partners you have in a year, the more often you should be screened. You can have an STD without symptoms, but are still able to give it to others.
