I agree it`s difficult to imagine this as a choice , but millions of unmarried people around the world are celibate.
In 2008, men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for 63% of primary and secondary syphilis cases in the United States.
This is from 4 % of the population
Men who have sex with men are 17 times more likely to develop anal cancer than heterosexual men.
Health checks to see whether your partner has "given " you something.
The apparent feeling of shame even though it`s legal and encouraged and protected to be gay.
The need for IVF treatment to produce a child ( without an accompanying dad )
Having to parade around the streets , calling yourself " proud " .
Demanding everyone else on the planet concurs with your chosen sexual activity.
ETC ETC.
No I`m sorry, this doesn`t add up as a sensible lifestyle.
Again, in a smaller size of potential sexual partners sexually transmitted diseases will be far more likely among that population just by default. (Also got anything more recent? Like this decade?) There are far more factors at play than just men having sex with other men. Lack of contraceptives, rape, junkies, lack of knowledge/education about safe sex, complacency (reliance on medical science instead of being proactive) men of all sexual orientations just being more sexually aggressive by default etc. The fact that you leave all this out and simply apply a causal link to a specific sexual orientation is quite dishonest, really. Isn't it a sin to bear false witness? It also shows how sloppy one is when trying to interpret scientific data. And I say that as an idiot layman myself!
Men who have sex with men are not gay or bisexual men necessarily. It's a specific phrase sex researchers use to encompass a wide array of sexual orientations and other variables.
And again, the stats are reversed for GAY WOMEN. Using your own logic it actually makes more sense to be a lesbian than a heterosexual female. Less chance of a STI!
Just because it's legal doesn't mean there's no stigma.
Surrogacy exists, you know? And many dads are very much involved in IVF treatment. Because it's often used for
heterosexual couples. That and you sort of need a sperm donor for the process to work in the first place. IVF is not immaculate conception!
There is no such thing as a "gay lifestyle." There's gay people who live their lives, though. And to be frank, I know far more sensible gay people than straight ones.
