His points: By choosing to be homosexual, they are infringing on the rights of their future offspring that could have been born.
Are you seriously saying that because they don't have children, these hypothetical future children have had their right to live taken away? They don't exist, how can they have their rights infringed upon? Also, gay people can have biological children through the use of a surrogate mother, or they can adopt.

Homosexuals also negatively affect the survival of the society as a whole due to their choice to not procreate.
How? Society isn't in any sort of population crisis- you can actually argue that we are rather overpopulated. We don't need to make as many babies as possible anymore, and plenty of couples choose to have no children at all.

Homosexuals are more promiscuous and more likely to have STDs, and thus they are more likely to spread STDs and affect others' right to health.
"Homosexuals are more promiscuous" isn't true at all. If you're gay, you're not required to fuck a bunch of men. In fact, because gay men have a much smaller pool of potential partners, you could say that they don't have to opportunity to be as "promiscuous" as a straight person. STDs are more easily caught via anal sex, yes, but we have tests for STDs so people can find out if they have a disease and then choose to have no sex after finding that out. Also, if you're having sex with someone you don't know well and aren't even sure if they have HIV or something like that, then that's your mistake.

Lastly, HIV treatment has a large financial impact and as a large majority of cases are from homosexuals, they hold the responsibility.
You can't blame a certain group for it. That's like saying "HIV started in Africa, so the Africans hold the responsibility". How can you blame a group for something like that when most gay people had absolutely nothing to do with it? Also, even if nobody had any gay sex, it probably would've spread anyway- just less fast.

For those interested/know more, I just want to know what you guys think of his points and why? I've already given counters to his first 3 points and I don't know jack about macroeconomics so I can't argue the 4th soundly, I just wanted to hear some other opinions.
I don't think he knows what he's talking about and is just spouting shit he read on the internet/heard from his parents.
