Negative Side Effects of Practicing/Endorsing Homosexuality:
-An increase in serious health problems (disease including but not limited to HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and rectal cancer; substance abuse; mental illness, including depression and suicide attempts) and hence a siginificant decrease in life expectancy.
-An increase in the incidence of same-sex pedophilic and adult-adolescent sexual activity.
-Significant erosion in ecclesiastical and societal expectations of long-term monogamous relationships and thus a further cheapening of the institutions of marriage and family.
-The annihilation of all societal gender norms, which in turn will normalize the most bizarre elements of the homosexual movement (transsexualism, transvestism) and increase sexual-identity confusion among the young.
-The public, political, educational, professional, and legal marginalization of any (by organizations and individuals) who make known their opposition to homosexual behavior, as the societal equivalent of racists.*

1) Actually, the most at risk group at contracting HIV / AIDS are introvienous drug users. Homosexuals, through a lot of education (not school based though) have turned around, and they are now just as, if not more, less at risk than Heterosexuals. And I don't find this hard to believe. Heteosexuals are so much more apathetic (most!), as they aren't 'required' by society to keep on their toes about everything. Another irony of society.
2) Ugh! This is what I hate MOST about Homophobes! They seem to think that Paedophilia and Homosexuality are the SAME thing! But they're not! There are more Heterosexuals engaging in paedophilic acts than Homosexuals.
3) Marriage is over-rated. At least, in todays society. And you only have Heterosexuals to blame. Homosexuals WANT to be able to have marriage, therefore one can only conclude that it is Heterosexuals who undermine marriage and the family - as they are the only ones ALLOWED to do it.
4) About the sexual-identity confusion. That's been there for as long as time. Everyone here knows that you've had at least one homosexual thought, it is natural, especially during adolescence. No need to deny it, it's on par with saying you've never touched yourself in a sexual manner. Societal gender norms changing? Change is inevitable, I'm afraid. And it will change, the process has been there for decades, only becoming less subtle as time moves on. As much as I hate to say it, the Media is, for once, doing something right - promoting Homosexuality in a non-biased way. They provide both for and against arguments if you look deeply, but the positives are usually more endearing.
5) It's the same thing. Only in context with the world today. Any open minded person with a tad of empathy could place themselves in a black's shoes, and see the same discrimination.
