i.e. - they're JUST LIKE US.

Folk, as varied, different, screwed up and gettin by, as anyone else.

Course, that gives a new spin to the old turn of phrase "queer as folk" now, doesn't it ?

Just a thought for those who perceive gay men to be so very much more promiscuous than straights: Imagine, if you can, a world where heterosexual men were FORBIDDEN to marry. Don'tcha think they might be pretty damn promiscuous, under the circumstances? Not having the POSSIBILITY of marriage to look forward to, to plan for, well, they might just--oh, I don't know--date a whole lotta people??? Could it possibly be the lack of marriage rights, fueling the promiscuity?

(Who the heck talks about "promiscuity" anyway? What is this, 9th grade health class?)

I'm dating a man with one of those mothers. He has no interest in other men. Though he also doesn't seem absolutely freaked by the idea, as many men seem to be. He often jokes about his gag reflex and other things that would make him a "lousy homosexual" but the main thing that would make him a lousy homosexual is that he isn't attracted to men. No amount of abuse will ever change that, the inclination has to exist at the very least, and I'm sorry but it's kind of offensive to me when the two things are linked. I've had too many people ask me what 'abuse' I suffered to 'make me' bisexual, when really the only thing that makes me bisexual is that the people I happen to be sexually attracted to have been both men and women, and that's all.

Before anyone asks, my orientation has not led to a vast array of sex partners, or group sex, or anything else that so many people seem to think bisexuals just 'must' be getting up to. Some people do those things, some don't, and their orientation doesn't really seem to have an impact on those choices. Promiscuous? Hell, I've only had any kind of 'relations' with four people. Average that out from the time I hit sexual maturity to me turning twenty-four and that's... well, a lot of long dry spells, in reality, and two-ish years per each person, mathematically.
I'm really, really sick of being judged by my orientation, when all I want to find is someone I can love and cuddle for the rest of my life. The fact that 'someone' could be either a man or a woman and probably make me happy shouldn't be some big, screaming deal.

Darn!

I was kind'a hoping that this would be an actual list by a gay marriage opponent so I could finally see what possible reasons they could have for being against gay marriage besides "Well, they're GAY."

Funny stuff, though.

Actually, if you're doing it right... it probably SHOULD be a big screaming deal!

And yeah, I'm not sure you can be "made" gay. You can be "encouraged", maybe. MAYBE.

I just don't care who's sleeping with whom, or who's marrying whom. If anyone can find anyone else in this world who they love and who makes them happy, more power to 'em.

You're looking at it all wrong, Rap - what if it's a bachelorette party for a hot lesbian couple? You wanna be in the middle of that, right?




It's never the hot lesbian couple. Ever.





I think you might have got the wrong Thread AURaptor, I think you were looking for Chris's "fact" verses "truth" Thread.

"... it's kind of offensive to me when the two things are linked ..."

I don't think all men gay men were 'made' that way by their mothers. I have met many gay men who I figured were born that way. The link - between gay-ness and sadistic sexual abuse by the mother - was made by those two men themselves. What can I say ? I figure they're the ones who would know.
