Oh god, don’t go back down the AIDS route. Have you read any of the past posts? The Majority of people living with HIV/AIDS are STRAIGHT!
The total number of people diagnosed with AIDS in the USA is over one million. This total increases by around 40,000 each year.
Around 48% of all people diagnosed with AIDS were probably infected with HIV through male-to-male sexual contact, while people exposed through heterosexual contact comprise around 18% of the total. Since the beginning of the epidemic, the number of heterosexual infections has increased dramatically. According to CDC estimates, heterosexual contact led to about one third of new AIDS diagnoses and one third of new HIV diagnoses in 2006.

Most of it is in Africa and its due to third world conditions. Poor education, poverty, lack of education, and no contraception. You like to drag those numbers in because it obscures the truth.

Sally Kerns was talking about America. So the numbers for America are the right ones for this discussion. Your need to avoid reality by muddying the water shows you know your case is weak.

The historical data presented today in this thread overwhelmingly established that Sally had reason for her comments.
“Studies show, no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted for more than, you know, a few decades.” – Sally Kerns.
“I honestly think it’s the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism” – Sally Kerns.
“They are going after our young children, as young as two years of age, to try to teach them that the homosexual lifestyle is an acceptable lifestyle.” – Sally Kerns.
“If you have cancer in your little toe, do you just say that I’m going to forget about it since the rest of you is fine? It spreads! This stuff is deadly and it is spreading. It will destroy our young people and it will destroy this nation.” – Sally Kerns.

Can someone please show me actual evidence of any civilisation not lasting because it embraced homosexuality?

Strawman argument. We said homosexuality is a symptom of a degrading society. It didn't cause the Fall of Rome but it was a indicator of a collapsing family structure. Just like the homosexual agenda in the USA is an indicator of the fall of America. We are following the pattern of Rome. Sally was right.
Even before cultural decay was apparent, a man named Dr. Carle Zimmerman wrote a book called "Family and Civilization" in 1947. He reviewed the decline of multiple civilizations and empires and found eight patterns of domestic behavior that signaled the decline of a civilization:
1) Marriage loses its sacredness; is frequently broken by divorce.
2) Traditional meaning of the marriage ceremony is lost.
3) Feminist movements abound.
4) Increased public disrespect for parents and authority in general.
5) Acceleration of juvenile delinquency, promiscuity, and rebellion.
6) Refusal of people with traditional marriages to accept family responsibilities.
7) Growing desire for and acceptance of adultery.
8) Increasing interest in and spread of sexual perversions and sex-related crimes.
Why Western civilization must learn to procreate or perish
Civilization depends on the health of the traditional family.
That sentiment has become a truism among social conservatives, who typically can't explain what they mean by it. Which is why it sounds like right-wing boilerplate to many contemporary ears.
The late Harvard sociologist Carle C. Zimmerman believed it was true, but he also knew why. In 1947, he wrote a massive book to explain why latter-day Western civilization was now living through the same family crisis that presaged the fall of classical Greece and Rome. His classic Family and Civilization, which has just been republished in an edited version by ISI Press, is a chillingly prophetic volume that deserves a wide new audience.
You seriously think there is a homosexual agenda?
