aha just do as you said before, don't try to reason with him, i agree with this 100% 

 

@Sapphi This is nothing to do with being "homophobic" its to do with low risk infection of the blood and higher risk infection of the blood and Homosexuality leads to a potentioal Higher risk of blood infection...so COMMON sense would be to take more precaution in dealing with higher risk of blood infection

Can you please explain to me how 'homosexuality leads to a potential higher risk of blood infection'?

I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that aids/HIV is highers amongst homosexuals....

or are you about to prove me and everyone else wrong?

or are you just going to call me a homophobe now?

The fact that HIV rates are higher amongst homosexuals doesn't mean that homosexuality leads to a higher risk of HIV infection. That's like saying that since crime rates are higher amongst black people, blackness leads to a higher potential of becoming a criminal (something which is obviously an aberration).

Promiscuous sex is what leads to getting HIV (the more sex partners you have, the higher your chances of contracting a STD).
