节目里说，目前大概有2000万同性恋，有90%会选择跟异性结婚。因为父母逼婚等原因，大部分同性恋会结婚生子。嫁给同性恋，一生的幸福就被毁了。冷暴力，出轨，还有艾滋！

In the program they said that now there are about 20 million homosexuals and that 90 percent of them choose to marry with the opposite sex.

Emotional neglect, infidelity and even AIDS!

Nonsense! Lots of people who have done nothing wrong still get AIDS. Actually, other than being spread through sexual contact, or from a mother to child, or through blood, all other contact is safe. There's no need to worry about hugging, holding hands or having a conversation.
