Keep in mind they’re sophists so it has to be a well-structured logical argument. I don’t know why I keep arguing with these kinds of people. Disclaimer: I’m pro-LGBT.

Option 1, the vast majority of STI transmission is between m/f sexual partners.
Option 2, plenty of m/f couples have anal sex so it is either immoral for both or for neither.
Option 3, not all gay couples have anal sex, plenty just do oral and some don’t even have sex, plenty of ace people out there.
Option 4, condoms work well and really do prevent the spread of STIs.
Option 5, what about lesbian sex? They are also homosexual but don’t have penises, so is anal sex not an option for them?
Option 6, what right do we have to judge other people’s sexual preferences and activities? You are allowed to drink, smoke, and eat unhealthy foods, not to mention people refusing the vaccines for covid and influenza, so even with things that kill a lot of people every year we let you do it, so what makes anal sex for men different?
Option 7, what about pegging? Can anal in an m/f relationship involve penetration of the male? Is that the same or different to the gay men situation?
And lastly, option 8, if they get to say gay anal sex is immoral then what stops gay men from saying exercising power over a community based on unsupported claims is immoral? If their specific religion is correct then all others must be someone scamming or lying, so that must be immoral, right? If not, how and why?
Don’t forget that there are many STI’s that are more rampant among heterosexual populations that homosexual ones, like Gonorrhea. Somehow that is always either overlooked or forgotten. HIV itself was mostly initially spread among heterosexual populations first, it only took off in the gay community in the USA more quickly than it did the straight population.
