	Homosexuality does not hurt anyone?  
	Mabey you would like to explane AIDS.

It's most likely a viral infection, spread by a variety of mechanisms
including sexual contact.  Although the gay community has had a higher
incidence of it to date, cases have been reported among heterosexual
partners of infected individuals.  This in turn raises the likelihood
of eventual spread to the population as a whole, with incidence patterns
similar to other sexually transmitted diseases.

I should stop here, since I've obviously explained it, but that's not what
you're asking.  Instead, I'll ask you a question:  does being a Haitian
hurt other people?  Maybe we should nuke Hispaniola (and take out the
Dominican Republic while we're at it; they're too close)?  If you still
don't see my point, I'll be even more explicit:  when a crime is committed,
do you blame the criminal or the victim?  In the case of AIDS, I blame the
virus, not the sufferers.
