The life expectancy for an adult gay male is on average 40 years less than for a straight male. Roughly half the life expectancy. But try to bring that up in a political debate and you're branded a homophobe/hatemonger/religious nut/etc. That's the problem is that no one wants to debate the issues in a logical fashion. One side wants to begin with the premise that heterosexuality and homosexuality are equal, only lifestyle preferences. The other wants to start from the position that it's a mortal sin and the end of Western civilization. The entire debate needs to be more civil. Just because I disagree that homosexuality is a 'normal' way to live does not mean I'm a hatemonger/homophobe/whatever. One side tells everyone 'we have to be tolerant', yet no one feels obliged to 'tolerate' my viewpoint. Why is it always one side that needs to be tolerated, but not the other?
