Oh give me a break... The issues you posted are not enough reason to disagree with homosexuality because they have nothing to do with a person's sexual preference, (except for the specifics of how such things come to be) They occur in the heterosexual world too.

HIV? AIDS? Hepatitis?The only reason this is as big of an issue as it seems is the fact that homosexuals aren't targeted enough by sexual educationy stuff. Many don't realize that safe sex should be practiced even when there's no risk of pregnancy. Rectal cancer? Same goes for heterosexual females and ovarian cancers, cervical cancers, and the like. Mental illness? Depression? Suicide? All because they can't be accepted by society. This is not their fault.

Pedophilic stuff? The problem with pedophiles is not their sexuality. Other mental issues, especially the need to feel powerful for whatever reason are to blame. I think that should be pretty clear to an individual of your intellect.

Erosion in ecclesiastical and societal expectations of long-term monogamous relationships and cheapening of the institutions of marriage and family? Please... Hetersexuals are taking care of that all on their own. And hey, maybe if gays were given the right to marriage there'd be a better chance of their having such relationships. Back to the cheapening thing, if a person allows anyone else's actions to decrease their values on such things like marriage and family, the problem lies within that very person. My homosexual friends don't make me view marriage and family as less sacred, and they still wouldn't if someday they received equal rights. If anything, that would make me raise my values in family and marriage because I would know everyone has a chance to have them both, making them both more precious.

Sexual-identity confusion? This is only an issue for children whose parents try to drive into their poor little brains that homosexuality is wrong, so if the son or daughter does feel like he or she might be gay, then they'll wonder if something is wrong with his or herself. A child raised in a home of open-minded parents will accept and embrace whatever their sexuality is easier.

Those making their opposition to homosexuality are seen as the equivalent of racists? That's because they are equivalent. Segregation/"separate but equal"/denial of rights. History is repeating itself. Heck, people even Biblically defended denying African Americans civil rights.

If I sound angery, it's because I am. More like really frustrated, but meh. It really is a pity that you won't be replying anymore.
