Homosexual, in particular **** sex, is much more of a risk.
It has more to do with two penises than it does an ****. Guess how much of a chance Brenda has of giving Darlene an STD when they do it up the butt with Brenda's brand new new strap-on?

Your 70% figure is radically inaccurate using CDC data. The majority of the following number crunching comes from the following tables: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/basic.htm#exposure
16,749 cases out of a total 34,271 cases in 2007 were from MSM. This is 49% of the cases. I'm going to project this 49% to the 468,578 people who are "currently living with AIDS" as of 2007. That gives 224,917 people with AIDS solely from MSM.
The fastest site I found with U.S. population in 2007 is http://www.prb.org/pdf07/07WPDS_Eng.pdf. This gives the U.S. a population of 302 million. 4% of that number is 12,080,000 people.
Out of all gay people given the percentage you chose, approx. 1.08% of them have AIDS.
I'm aware this isn't the best reasoning. In addition, you probably meant to discuss transfer of HIV rather than cases of AIDS. Franky, if you don't care to know the difference, I don't care to do the math for that as well. The point is still there. AIDS and HIV are not running amok among gay people. Very, very few people with respect to the entire U.S. population have AIDS/are infected with HIV. Very, very few gay people with respect to the entire homosexual U.S. population have AIDS/are infected with HIV.
I know it's fun to thrown numbers like 4% and 70% around without having any idea what you're talking about. Unfortunately some simple math and research shows your premise as drastically faulty. Give it up already. Find a different one.
HIV is also more likely to spread from male to female than female to male. Probably has something to do with *****. Maybe we should mandate men to store sperm at the tender age of 15, and then castrate them to save the world a lot of trouble.
Tell that to Haiti.
Any sex has a direct connection with the spread of HIV. Your thought process goes haywire from "People who have sex without knowing if their partner is HIV+ are likely to get HIV." to "1.08% OF THE GAY POPULATION HAS AIDS. AND IT ACCOUNTS FOR 48% OF ALL AIDS CASES. THEREFORE GAY SEX SPREADS HIV."
No. Not at all. If anything, getting married would encourage homosexual couples to stay monogamous, thus decreasing the chance of one of them getting a partner who is HIV+.

Notice how regular heterosexual sex isn't considered a transmission category while male to male sexual contact is?

High risk heterosexual contact is primarily people who are sleeping with hookers.

So yes homosexuality, specifically male to male, does appear to have a direct connection with the spread of aids. And this behaviour should not be recognized as anything other than a deviant one by the govn of the people.

Is the percentage of gay men who have HIV most likely significantly higher than the percentage of straight men who do? Hell yes. Should the blood be tested anyway? Hell yes. If our concern is false negatives, then we should be worried about any blood being donated. HIV isn't only transmitted through MSM, and trying to use these numbers to make a good point is an exercise in futility.
