No, I do not agree with this statement. Having said that, there is a higher prevalence of certain Sexually Transmitted Diseases in the LGBTQ+ community because they have been marginalized and faced with discrimination that impedes their access to STD education and healthcare. Despite their disadvantage though, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people should have the same access to medical care and resources as anyone else. So no matter who you are or what orientations you may be attracted to – everybody deserves safe sexual practices and access to the necessary health resources when needed.

I do not agree with the statement that gay people are more likely to have STD. This statement implies that there is something inherent to a person's sexual orientation which makes them more prone to contracting a sexually-transmitted infection, which is categorically false. In fact, research suggests that both straight and gay couples are equally likely to engage in unsafe sexual practices, and both groups can benefit from comprehensive STD prevention strategies.
