So even Muslims know it is wrong.

If Muslims see homosexuality as wrong, do they see something you can't see?

Aids can be passed through other means, vaginal or oral sex, but it's primarily passed through anal sex. So, no, heterosexual men don't contract aids as easily. I'm sure you are not classifying a bi-sexual person as also heterosexual.

I wonder if I'm supposed to be abbreviating?
But there is still a large risk of heterosexuals being able to contract it. If you are afraid of the HIV virus being in the military, then you need to make sure that no one that serves can possibly contract it. It is the logical solution to your ideas.

To selectively ban one group of people from serving, just because they have an elevated risk of contracting it, is discrimination.

Next, you'll be wanting to ban heterosexual men that have unprotected sex with prostitutes, or heterosexual men that have anal sex with heterosexual women, because they have an elevated risk of contracting HIV. Where does it end?

I never said it was right Coadie. I know soldiers who are living with girlfriends and quite a few that regularly cheat on their wives. None of that is "right", however, I'd not deny them their right to serve in the military.

Yes, there is a risk, but larger toward homosexuals. We simply need to screen them and they shouldn't be admitted if they test positive and they should be discharged if they test positive while in service. That goes for both homosexuals and heterosexuals. I think we already agreed on that.
