There are medical complications beyond the usual stds. Because such a high percentage of the gay community has aids, even with a condom it's a big risk to take.
What if someone played it safe, though? There's a chance of contracting something nasty no matter what your sexuality is, and no matter who you are sleeping with, really, does that mean that all sex should be looked down upon? And how exactly is allowing homosexual marriage going to make this problem worse?
What "medical complications" beyond STDs are there?

Well I don't know. However the act of sex between two men does not serve any purpose. It is not an act of love, but of pleasure. So because it does not always have the consequences of pregancy it often becomes as lethal as drug such as cocaine. I use death to mean spirtual death.
Homosexual sex serves no purpose? At first I thought you were referring to the idea that it doesn't produce children, which we've talked about in this thread, already, but then you go on to say that it's not an act of love. How is it not an act of love? I mean, given, there are a lot of times when it could just be an act of animal desire, the same is true of heterosexual sex, it doesn't differ much from that, but why do you think that homosexuals can't "Make love" as it were? How is it that they aren't capable of using that physical act to express their love for one another, in the same way that a heterosexual couple does?
And why is it a spiritually deadening thing? You'll have to accept that very few people subscribe to such a harsh interpretation of your particular scriptures. I find sex to be a very spiritual thing, when I'm being intimate with someone I care about, I always feel a little closer to heaven. You're going to have to shift your paradigm a bit, and realize that matters of spirituality are pretty arbitrary and different from person to person. What you see as sin and evil could be another persons vision of perfection.

Also it is confusing what God meant by the law given in the old testament. Did he expect people born gay to become celibrate or marry into the opposite sex?
Why should it matter what god said about it? Make up your own damn mind. If you can't find the reasoning behind gods supposed opinions then don't bother following them, live a life according to how
you perceive the world, not how others have told you to behave.

I don't think so. The movement attempts at making people endorse this activity as normal. They've done a pretty good job. If you go back just 50 years, your see a huge difference in opinion. However there has not been any huge medical break throughs at proving that gays are born gay.
Yes you're right, the gay pride movement tries to get people to endorse homosexuality as being normal. It's seeking acceptance in society. What it is not doing is saying that anyone should become a homosexual, or even that people should give it a try before they knock it, or whatever. Also there is not evidence to suggest that homosexuality is a choice, and in practice it seems very much as if it's a factor that is set at birth, so what exactly is the point that you are trying to make?
