Passing out condoms basically tells them it's OK for them to
have sex.
Reality check

Clearly they're having sex whether we tell them it's okay or not - we should allow them to at least be safe about it.
On the contrary

So by your thinking, since they are going to do it anyway we should just throw up our hands
and and let them do whatever they want, even going as far
as promoting the prohibited activity by providing them condoms for gay sex? Make them buy their own condoms!
