Do you think it was right to legalize same-sex marriage in the event of HIV being pandemic?
Yes. HIV is not transmitted by marriage. HIV is transmitted by unprotected sex with an infected individual. The majority of gays and lesbians are not infected with HIV. And, a large pecentage of HIV-positive individuals are not gay. People will continue to pursue their own sex lives regardless of whether same-sex marriage is legalized. In fact, marriage actually reduces the number of sexual partners that one has and therefore is helpful in reducing the rate of HIV infection.

Is it right to legalize same-sex marriage while HIV infection is pandemic?
You seem to be laboring under the misconception that HIV is limited to homosexuals and that it is somehow related to same-sex marriage. This is wrong on both counts. HIV is not limited to homosexuals. HIV transmission between heterosexuals is orders of magnitude higher than among homosexuals if you look at actual numbers of new cases. Percentage wise it may be higher among homosexuals but that is misleading when the entire population affected by HIV is considered.HIV transmission should not even be considered in relation to same sex marriage. These are two entirely separate issues. Actually, one might anticipate that HIV transmission between homosexuals would DECREASE if homosexuals were allowed to legally establish long-term monogamous relationships. By legally preventing marriage, promiscuity would be expected to increase thereby increasing the number of sexual contacts and thereby the number of new cases.
