Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
A rcent set of Figures is here (CDC Statistics).

2007 data: Whites 12,556
                   Blacks 21,549
                   Hispanic 7,484

Male adult or adolescent:

Male-to-male sexual contact                 22,472
High-risk heterosexual contact                 4,551
of a total of 31,518.


Female adult or adolescent:

Injection drug use                1,806
High-risk heterosexual contactc                9,076
Otherd                96

of a total of 10,977.

This shows a ratio between MtoM sexual contact and hetero male sex of 22:4.4, about 5:1 (not 50).   Note that 22/31 of male cases are from MtoM sexual contact.(70%)

In females, the ratio of high-risk hetero sexual contact is 9 out of 10.9, nearly 95%.

These numbers do not support any of the cut-and-dried arguments in this thread as far as I can see. 70% of males cases come from male homosexual contacts while 90+% of cases in females come from unsafe hetero contact.

Perhaps the moral of the story is "Don't have sex with males no matter what your gender!"
