I'm assuming this is your PC way of referring to STDs (it may not be, in which case, I apologize and you can ignore this comment). I learned this in high school health class: Anyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, education level, economic status, race, creed, etc., can contract STDs provided that they engage in sexual activity.
Unless HR is finding a way to hire only virgins, then providing coverage to gay employees and their families would not raise said company's health insurance prices.
