WTF! Talk about not reading what I wrote!
All I was saying is that you can't say gays are 100% responsible for the spread of HIV. There's plenty of straight men that are helping with transmission.
You want statistics?

...Of the approximately 52,000 reported rapes in 2003 - comprising a statistical calculation of 147 rapes per 100,000 of the population - about 21,000 or almost half, were perpetrated against children under the age of 18. This shocking figure is indicative of the appalling fact that between 58 and 60 children are raped on a daily basis in South Africa, with a significant number of these children aged 12 and under (Smith, 2004). The true extent of this horrific pattern of sexual violence is much more disturbing when it is taken into account that various estimates by credible organizations and NGOs estimate that only one in 20 incidents of rape are actually reported to the police...

...Pervasive throughout South Africa , as well as other parts of Africa and the developing world, is a belief in the myth of the so-called “Virgin Cure,” a belief which, in essence, means that having sexual intercourse with a sexually inactive girl will cure infected men of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases or STDs...

If you opened your eyes, you'd realize that there's bigger things going on in the world than whether or not 2 people in love (regardless of gender) can marry.

The myth of the “Virgin Cure” has a rich and culturally diverse history stretching back to 16th century Europe and beyond. A more contemporary example can be found in 19th century Victorian England, where, despite the strong socio-cultural emphasis on sexual morality, religiosity, rectitude and family values, there was a widespread belief that sexual intercourse with a virgin girl was a cure for syphilis, gonorrhoea, and other STDs.

And what, pray tell, was the dominant religion religion in Europe then? Yeah...that's what I thought.
