I think this is one of those "gay marriage 50 years ago" things. People are going to come up with all sorts of excuses why it's wrong, simply because they're not comfortable with it.

And do you have evidence they were wrong? According to gay activist groups themselves half of all male homosexual relationships are abusive, for example.

Almost all of the evidence I've seen has shown they're wrong. A quick google for statistics on incidences of abuse vs. heterosexual relationships showed they were wrong, and the few sources I've seen (which I couldn't find through my quick google) that showed the opposite where from biased organizations already predisposed against homosexuality.

I could be convinced of the opposite, but that one sentence you gave will hardly bump my prior.
