They are clearly not the same, but you first have to make the claim that insurance coverage should be tied to ease of prevention at all, before arguing where the line should be.

I'm not aware of any other risky behaviors that exclude coverage, so this would be a precedent.

I've since come around and now think they wouldn't exclude coverage, but they might charge a different premium. That seems fair.

So are they going to charge premiums for gay people because they have a higher risk of STDs? Seems fair to you?

You wouldn't charge gay people more because that isn't a choice.

Do you think it's unfair that smokers pay more for life insurance?

Pretty much every smoker has higher medical bills. Labelling all gay people as STD risks is a much bigger reach?
