99, I can't understand/believe you're comparing homosexuality to such things as prostitution, pornography, phone sex, etc. Honestly, what is the link? How do you think homosexuality even remotely causes as much 'harm' as pornography and those other things? Homosexuality doesn't cause harm at all.
Homosexuals have no control over how they are, just as heterosexuals can't control how they are either. It's as much 'choice' as how tall you are or which hand is your dominant. So how can some people possibly hold others accountable for what they can't control?
Most people eat meat, but there are vegetarians who refrain from doing so. Little weird, little different, no? Should we kill or treat the vegetarians differently because they're not going along with the majority?
Some people eat dead insects. Little weird, little different, no? Should we kill them or treat them differently because it defies most people's tastes - most think it's disgusting? It's a good source of protein actually. Can't say I've tried any but hey lol. For some cultures/areas, insects are valued like cheeseburgers to America.
So is being a vegetarian or insect-eater wrong?
Look around you. Our friends have characteristics and talents that are similar to and different from our own. Some things, I'm sure you'll find, seem outrageous to us, and we conclude that we'll never do such a crazy thing, or find it extremely strange and 'abnormal.' "Bloody hell, you enjoy jumping off cliffs in the summer?" "You really did win that eating contest with 50 hot dogs...?" "You seriously spent 30 hours straight trying to beat that game?"
Anyone pay attention to the Guinness Book of World Records? Really, take two seconds to check it out, see what you find:

To say the least, some of those records granted are quite "out-of-the-ordinary." But it doesn't make them wrong. It makes them unique, with a distinct sense of identity.
I know you said it was okay not to answer these, but I will.
These cause children and their families to die by starvation and other things, because society won't let them get what they need due to some prejudiced people holding them back. They turn to desperate measures just to get some food into their bodies, otherwise it's another cold night by the dumpster - maybe someone will throw away their unfinished meal.
I understand that this scenario doesn't apply to all, but it applies to some. And there aren't just female prostitutes, you seem to be forgetting this. What of those who pay these prostitutes too?

No. My son or daughter has the right to live out their own lifestyle. As a parent, my job is to prepare my child for the world and teach them how to survive and lead a respectable life. A good parent wants their child to be happy. If another man makes my son happy, or another woman makes my daughter happy, I'm perfectly alright with that. Just let my child be happy.
Of course not. I'm independent and have my own set of thoughts in my mind. But then I must ask the question - do you say that homosexuality is wrong because most others say it is, and you want to avoid a controversial argument or the possible chance that you'll be viewed as a 'lover of homosexuals' and 'soft-hearted'? (I.e. QuicksilverD has already said he doesn't like homosexuals in part to women viewing him as "more feminine.")
Alright, these few questions just scream sexist. You're downright downgrading women, saying they're just apathetic and throw away their lives. You don't know their story, you don't know the reasons behind what they're doing and why they do it. A little girl doesn't grow up with the ambition of stripping and more for horny men. There's a lot of potential in life, but there's also a lot of discrimination, oppression, and injustice.

If someone close to me resorted to being a prostitute, I'd try my best to help them into a more successful and healthy environment. Being a prostitute is dangerous after all, what with STDs and violent temporary partners. Homosexuality though, offers none of these dangers, therefore I don't feel the need to intervene. It's their life, and they may do with it as they wish. It's their choice in the end - how they want to live out their life. I can't make decisions for them, it's not my place to. Again it comes down to the question of happiness.
*sighs* Again, sexism. Why be so closed-minded?
