Yes, it ruins lives, and not solely due to society's labelling. Many of its adherants find themselves in a downward spiral of lessening self-worth and other psycological problems. Far more so than the general population.
Just like rock and roll? Homosexuals have a notoriously high intravenous drug addiction rate. They are notoriously promiscuous, especially the men, with many tallying partners in the hundreds or more. And having unprotected sex with them. They die from these things at alarming rates. Not so for rock'n'roll.

You got numbers for that? I agree with the promiscuity, but the IV drug addiction? Never seen that one. And if they are having sex with each other, and they are knowledgable and consenting, how does that affect you other than making you uncomfortable?
I know plenty of stable same sex relationships. And maybe if there weren't so many homophobes in society, they wouldn't be so screwed up. It is a self fufilling prophecy.
Actually post partum depression if probably one of the most destructive things for women's psychological health. Maybe we should eliminate pregnancy and birth...then they'll feel better about themselves.
And how about Catholic guilt? I think that makes people become alcoholics. Maybe we should ban Catholicism because it sends people into a shame spiral...
This is the same argument over and over again. And just like abortion. A bunch of people not directly involved telling others what they can and can't do.
