I found this interesting report by the FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL:
Some startlingly honest quotes from researchers who have studied the health of homosexual men were published by a "gay" newspaper in Michigan last week. Speaking of one study at a conference of the American Public Health Association late last year, former U.S. Centers for Disease Control researcher Ron Stall, Ph.D., M.P.H., said, "You had a syndemic [interconnecting epidemics] situation going on among a group of men, 80 percent of whom were college graduates, three-quarters of them were white, who were living in some of America's richest zip codes, and yet they had a health profile that looked like they were living in a favela [hillside slum] in Brazil." The gay newspaper article blamed these health problems not on the choice to engage in homosexual conduct, but on society's "homophobia." Yet that "homophobia" obviously wasn't severe enough to keep these men from getting college degrees and earning enough to live in "America's richest zip codes." Another CDC researcher, Richard J. Wolitski, stated that homosexual men report being victims of childhood sexual abuse at "rates that range between 12 and 37 percent [which is] much higher than rates for other men, which typically range from 1 to 4 percent." And those who "came out" as "gay" at an earlier age were the most likely to have had "forced sex before they were 18." Isn't it time we acknowledged that a cycle of sexual exploitation, not homophobia, is the source of these harms?
I mean... how does one person's disagreement of opinion with another inflict disease and STD's?

Blinded by Desire?
I just came across an article reporting on the rates of sexual promiscuity among universities in the UK. What's striking is that the article and the first lines state that those who have the most sexual partners have the worst results in sexual experience.
A survey from one of the country's top universities has revealed students who have the most sex get the worst results.
The online study published in the student magazine Varsity asked over a thousand members in various colleges at Cambridge University in depth about their sex lives.
It revealed students at poorly-performing colleges are more likely to be sleeping around.
And I think this is tied to the skyrocketing amount of depression, use of anti-derpresants and suicide in universites. Could all this scientific evidence lend to suggest that in fact we are not created for more than one sexual partner?
What irks me most about the article is that going on down through the article, the author obviously doesn't take this view. He goes on to celebrate the types and styles and locations of sexual perversion that is taking place.
The Bible clearly tells us that we were created for one life-long partner in marriage, to bring about and raise children who fear Yahweh and follow His ways, not their own.
"For this reason a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh (not twenty-three)." (Gen. 2:24)
