But in answer to your previous question (How come they get so much "air play" then I wonder) - it's because gay rights is still very much a hot button topic.
The Civil Partnership act was hotly debated, so was the Equality Bill and then so was the Marriage Equality Bill.
Aside from this, the subject of same sex adoption will (and has) generate a huge amount of debate.
This is the reason why gay people get 'so much air time'. It's because there are issues surrounding equal treatment which many people (including gay people) will have a view on.
The same no doubt happened during the 60s in America due to civil rights (why do the blacks get so much air time?) and in the 10s in Britain due to universal emancipation (why do the women get so much radio time?)

What would be accurate is this:
"Homosexuality is dangerous to society, when everyone becomes gay and penises and vaginas cease to function properly".
In that hypothetical situation, there is a danger to society. However, as homosexuality is not common enough to pose any threat to human existence, I think that it's safe to say that it's not a danger.
Think of it this way - a teaspoon of Ribena dropped into the River Avon is not going to make everything taste of blackcurrant, right?
Therefore it's not accurate to say that Ribena is a danger to the taste of water in the Somerset region.
