Let alone a thousand gay men.

Let alone a thousand gay men that I find attractive, that also find me attractive, and both of us happen to be available for sex.

I can’t imagine how that could happen. Makes me wonder if their standards are low, or if they never spend any time at home or have any other hobbies, or if they just have an orgy weekend every few months.

I know we’re mentioning phoney “research”, but I’ve met folks who claim to have numbers that high.

He made these wild, unsubstantiated claims that the average gay male drank gallons of urine, ate so many pounds of feces, and had thousands of anonymous sexual partners!

So watch for the religious reicht to spew their perverted take on this survey on every religious program they can lay their dirty fingers on!

That’s not even a fraction of the percentile.
And of course, in as many hetero couples as has been stated already, there likely ARE similar numbers that could EASILY be found in SF as well.

Of course this sampling wasn’t COMPARED to hetero couples.

And if they were, then that would be evidence that gay AND straight heteros tend to do similar things in their sex lives, so therefore no cause for discrimination to either group.

However, I’m really tired of all this ‘research and study’ of gay lives. The scrutiny is ridiculously intense and I think by now, completely unnecessary.
The anti gay don’t want to spend any money on anything like this themselves that would be broad and involve the long term or a wide spectrum of sample subjects.
They can’t be bothered to do the simplest thing, like actually HAVING gay friends, family and colleagues to inform them of who and what gay folks are and their needs.

So lobbing from a distance, extrapolating the narrowest of information from a small sample is enough for them to infer something without any evidence.

There is no reason anymore for gay people to have to be submitted or examined like this.
There doesn’t have to be a year to research what the affects of repealing DADT would be.

There is no need to look at the ‘Swedish study’, but bigger countries like Canada, which shares a great deal of similar values and economic and social strata.
Or the state of MA.

This is no longer an ‘experiment’ but stalling and delays and more excessive demands on the patience of gays and lesbians.

And unless, when ANY of these research articles come out, there is an equal and similar sample of heteros AS WELL, for comparison, I can and will assume that these researchers weren’t the least bit interested in comprehensive study whatsoever.

They seem to be of limited substance anyway, and might as well have not bothered.

I’m curious about how many gay people can or are willing to be counted for the census. Just trying to figure out how many there are and where, is elusive enough.
And the real numbers of gay people out there is certainly disputed by anti gay factions.

What a shame that something so basic is difficult to obtain, but somehow things like this research that picque the prurient interests of the anti gay are much easier to come by.

Just saying.

somehow it is funny to see how those people who pretend to talk about social values are so obsessed with the importance of sex – and seem to forget or at least minimize the “social”.

That argument is flawed on so many levels… I’m too disgusted to break it down for anybody who can’t see the stupidity of that argument.

If, and a big if, it were true that homosexual couples are less monogamous than heterosexual couples…

Wouldn’t homosexual couples become more monogamous if same sex marriage was afforded the same social, cultural and legal status as heterosexual marriage?

How much has the absence of the marriage option impacted monogamous gay dating, courtship… and gay relationships and culture in general?

Would there be as many monogamous heterosexual couples if the concept of heterosexual marriage was not socially, culturally and legally well-defined and encouraged?

Wouldn’t gay marriage encourage monogamy for gay couples just as heterosexual marriage encourages monogamy for straight couples?

OTOH, I can’t disagree with the BP’s headline, this study will likely impact the marriage debate, if only because bigots will continue to misrepresent the findings as long as they can get away with it.

I *swear* these fascists think the Commandment about bearing false witness is suspended when it comes to telling lies about the TLBG community!!
