You would be better off to be against bad parents, than to be against gay parents. Gay parents have to work a lot harder to have children in a lot of cases - especially since many of them adopt.

Unlike most heterosexual parents.

All I have to say to people who participate in Bi-Sexual or straight up GAY acts, is they better be very careful.

Yes, they should be careful during sex. Just like heterosexual partners.

The whole lifestyle to me is beyond comprehension and I myself think gays and lesbians as merely unconformists to society.

You are entitled to your opinion. I think people who make up words are unconformists. There are a great many things beyond my comprehension, but for most of them I have an intellectual curiosity where I try to fight my own ignorance. Especially if I want to have an opinion about them.

Have you ever known anyone who has HIV? and is currently dying as we speak? Its an awful disease to have, ive seen mothers crying, because there sons were not careful and possibly not open about their gay lifestyle (the person im talking about came out of the closet roughly a 1 year before he was diagnosed). It withers you away to nothing, destroys your life. He cant eat, he is just waiting to die, he is going to die, time is not in his favour.

That is very unfortunate. HIV / AIDS is a horrible disease, and you have my sympathy for your friend. We can only hope a cure will be found soon.

That said, are you suggesting that he caught AIDS just because he was gay? Because the disease can be transmitted any number of ways regardless of sexual orientation. If it was sexually transmitted, it certainly was probably due to having unproteced sex, not being gay.

What scares me the most is that a every day average joe (you and me) and easily get it too, from GIRLS. I was somewhat uneducated on the subject for a long time, and now know that there are people that go both ways, and to me it just isnt worth the risk.

It is good that you have decided to educate yourself about the dangers of HIV and Aids. Because, as you know, everyone can get it. And not just from sex. While it is prevalent in the gay male community, it certainly isn't exclusively there. Lots of exclusively heterosexual people have it.

Some have only ever had 1 partner. Some have never had a partner. Some are children infected by tainted blood.

Bottom line? We all have to be careful. Being gay or straight has almost nothing to do with it.

Its really scary, and I think if we as canadians promote the gay and bisexual lifestyle, HIV will become even more prominant now, more then ever.

Unsafe sex promotes STD's, not being gay. And how is allowing marriage "promoting a gay lifestyle?"
