Under scrutiny your logic falls apart. First, there are many species that engage in same-sex mating. (see below)
Second, in Africa, the majority of AIDS cases are heterosexual. What's more, if gay people are monogamous, then there is no chance at all of getting AIDS. The AIDS virus is very good at exploiting the practice of having multiple sex partners, not a particular sexual orientation. To use your model, it would seem that it is "natural" to have multiple sex partners, I think both of us would reject that.
And you reference to children simply shows a bit of unfamiliarity with children. Children frequently find affection between adults (even their own parents) nauseating. What generally happens is that children have picked up on the parents revulsion toward gay people very early on. Children then reflect back something they've learned even before they were able to express themselves in language. Children who grow up in communities where straight and gay people interact freely and without judgment show none of your prejudice.

Actually, direct blood to blood contact such as occurs when sharing needles has the highest risk in spreading HIV. The spreading of HIV through anal sex has nothing to do with sexual orientation, blood to semen contact has a high chance to infect anyone with HIV. Also, lesbians have the lowest instance of infection of all groups of people.
To label something as natural, you first have to define natural. There are many meanings of the word natural but I think that "existing or formed in nature" is a definition that applies here. This said, are you aware that homosexual activity has been documented in several hundred species, besides humans, including insects and plants? Since this is true, I don't see how can homosexuality be considered unnatural.
Also, your child analogy doesn't really make sense. First, studies have shown no correlation between exposure and acceptance of homosexuals and sexual experimentation. In fact, individuals raised by homosexual parents have only about the same instance of being gay themselves as those raised by heterosexual parents. Second, many people today are accepting of homosexuals but are not homosexual themselves.
Lastly, unless you are living naked in the wilderness, hunting for food, you have no business arguing that something that isn't "natural" is wrong. Simply by posting this on here you have done something that nature did not intend.

In actual fact, HIV is a virus which is passed through the practice of UNSAFE SEX. The virus on its own doesn't care whether the person is homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual - it just goes where it can (through the transmission of certain bodily fluids).
Unfortunately, homosexual men are regarded as a high risk group because they tend to have more sex than their heterosexual or bisexual counterparts. There are also a lot of homosexual men who practice unsafe sex, and combined with a higher sexual output - makes the probability of catching a STD within the group more likely.
On an individual basis, there are some homosexual and bisexual men who do take precautions, and these individuals are much safer than a heterosexual individual who doesn't take precautions.

In western countries HIV was originally seen as an illness affecting only gay men or IV drug users. This is no longer the case. 99% of infections are amongst heterosexuals, about half being women, and with about 14 million AIDS orphans (end 2001, UNAIDS). In the US and Europe over half of new infections are amongst heterosexuals.
There is a common misconception that anal sex is practised almost exclusively by gay men. This is certainly not the case. An estimated one third of gay couples do not include anal intercourse in their lovemaking. About one third of heterosexual couples try it from time to time.
It is thought that about 10 per cent of heterosexual couples have anal intercourse as a regular feature of their lovemaking. In absolute numbers, more heterosexual couples have anal sex than homosexual couples.

more heterosexuals contracts aids than homosexuals.
Gay men are not unnatural. And not all gays have anal sex. Many heterosexuals haven anal sex too didn't you know?
No, when a child sees two men kissing nothing will happen. it won't make him gay. he might experiement but it just wouldn't be "turning gay" just experimenting.
you're a fool, no one can turn gay or be straight. it's not a choice. you are a defect in my sight.

Nothing's natural anymore, so why worry about it? The food we eat and the drinks we drink are not natural, EVERYONE living past 30 is not natural (survival of the fittest ring any bells??). The world is not a natural place anymore.
And why would someone tell their child that two men kissing is natural? All they need to say is that some people are attracted to the same sex, they can't help how they feel.
Condoms are not natural, and neither is the pill! Not everyone has sex to reproduce, they have sex cos it's fun! Now let us gays have our fun. We're not hurting anyone.

You are a deeply misguided person.
Point number one. You do not 'contract' AIDS. A person is said to be suffering from AIDS (or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), when that person has become seriously and in most cases terminally immunocompromised as a result of the HIV virus (which you can obviously contract).
Point number 2. Gay men do not contract HIV from each other 'more easily' than straight couples. A homosexual or heterosexual person can only catch HIV from someone else who is already infected with HIV. It does not occur spontaneously. You are right in saying that anal sex does increase the risk or transmission if unprotected sex is adopted but vaginal sex is almost as infective as both the walls of the vagina and anus are equiped to readily take up the virus. If fact HIV is predominant amongst heterosexuals in the 3rd world.The vast number of people on this planet infected with HIV are in Africa and they are mostly heterosexual. HIV is only really significant amongst the homosexual community in the developed world.
Please get your facts right first and don't use this service as a means to spread your ignorant vitriol

it really is a delusion, yet one depending on the mechanisms of sexual transmission. it truly is for adults ears, ideally: anal sex regularly motives harm to the rectum, to the purpose of tearing of the tissue causing micro- or macroscopic bleeding. If the course to an infection is as effecient as actual fluid (semen) to actual fluid (blood) transmission, the effect is the AIDS epidemic contained in the gay male community that prepare anal sex. it might want to also be spread by oral sex if the "receiver" has an open sore in his mouth or throat, besides the actual shown reality that it truly is way less probable. In Africa, in spite of the indisputable fact that, there's a significantly better transmission of the virus from adult adult males TO the females, also using mechanism of transmission. an same component is likewise happening contained in the black community in united statesa., regrettably. the only reason that you imagine that gay adult adult males are better probable to have HIV/AIDS is that there are better cases of it in gay adult adult males, or there became contained in the rustic. The gay community, to its tremendous credit, has fought again with a vengeance and is now the chief contained in the wrestle hostile to the spread of HIV/AIDS contained in the US.
