WOW... that was a BRILLIANT statement! I suspect you did what I did - a quick Google to see how bad the situation really is. I found a number of places where gays propose that successful marriage involves an "open marriage", and they recommend that hetero marriages would work better if we did likewise.
The reason you don't think the percentage really matters is that it doesn't benefit your perverse worldview.

What kind of sick planet did you come from?
The fact remains, fm, much as you would like to ignore it, that OVERALL, homosexual sex, particularly male/male, has significantly more risk factors than heterosexual sex.
Look up "the dirty little secret in 'monogamous' homosexual marriages."
Here's a sample....

They call them "San Francisco relationships."
A term coined by the local gay community, it's defined as two men in a long-term open relationship, with lovers on the side.
A new study released this week by the Center for Research on Gender & Sexuality at San Francisco State University put statistics around what gay men already know: Many Bay Area boyfriends negotiate open relationships that allow for sex with outsiders.
After studying the sexual patterns of 566 gay male couples from the Bay Area for three years, lead researcher Colleen Hoff found that gay men negotiate ground rules and open their relationships as a way to build trust and longevity in their partnerships.
"I think it's quite natural for men to want to continue to have an active and varied sex life," said 50-year-old technology consultant Dean Allemang from Oakland, who just ended a 13-year-open relationship and has begun another with a new boyfriend.
"I don't own my lover, and I don't own his body," he said. "I think it's weird to ask someone you love to give up that part of their life. I would never do it."

In her study of gay couples, 47 percent reported open relationships. Forty-five percent were monogamous, and the remaining 8 percent disagreed about what they were.
As you can see, those open relationships are not counted as monogamous relationships. In fact, there are about as many monogamous relationships as there are open relationships. Sure, I'd say there are too many open relationships and not enough monogamous ones, but monogamy doesn't seem to be nearly as rare among the LGBT community as you depict it to be.
