Study finds US gay men becoming less promiscuous Not only is marriage for homosexuals about equality, it now appears more lives could be saved. This is no surprise really. If you treat people as equals and not as second class citizens, the over al morality goes up. I'll await the ridiculous fire storm from the right on this study.............
OP, have you taken a statistics class ... just curious if you know about statistical bias.... Go ahead and call me a name, I know you are prepared to attack anyone who challenges your post.
So....you've reached the point where you admit that the male gay life is full of increased pathology across many metrics? Hope so. That's reality, Baby!
Yes...monogamy can only be achieved via the state acknowledging, licensing and lauding benefits on "marriage"
Just plumbing the depths of your bias and/or rejection of reality. So far, no hint of acceptance of the truth. Carry on.
If they're riddled with increased pathologies, it's much more difficult for me to accept them as equal.
RWers are riddled with increased pathologies, but I will extend them the same rights as everyone else. Thank you for demonstrating your bias and/or rejection of reality.
There is no need to attack you or your post...simply because you haven't said anything to refute the OP.
Hardly. Study shows that when you treat homosexuals as equals and extend the same rights, the 'morality' goes up. mod edit>>>PA
I still don't believe that many gay people really give that much of a (*)(*)(*)(*) about marriage. It's just cat string theory. They only want it because somebody else doesn't want them to have it. Legalize it tomorrow and you'll get an initial celebratory boom and then a gradual tapering off. Within 10-15 years time, nobody will care. Few will bother getting married. It's not about equal anything. It's just about having something to feel angry about. It's the entire MO of everyone on the left. They always have to be fighting for something in order to feel validated.
Please get back to us when homosexual men are NOT the "league leaders" in EVERY STD, including,and ESPECIALLY HIV/AIDS, with the possible exception of chlamydia. Then let us know when their drug/alchohol abuse rates are close to those of the general populace. Until then, your DESPERATE attempts to pretend that the homosexual male lifetstyle is NOT a public health nightmare, which incurrs MASSIVE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE, is nothing more than your standard nonsense.
The fight for same-sex marriage transcends the left-right political spectrum. Why would few gay people bother to marry? Would you say the same for the straight population? You come up with these assertions but there is no evidence to suggest they are true. It is about being treated equal. Why wouldn't you be angry about that and why wouldn't anyone try to change that?
"Equal"= SAME RULES for EVERYONE. Gay marriage is about "special exceptions" for a FEW= GLARING 14th Amendment violation.
The gay population is smaller than the straight population, meaning the likelihood of contracting an std is higher simply because there are less potential partners. Think of it this way: you have a city of 100 people and a city of 10 people. If one person in each city gets sick, the city with 10 people will still have a higher percentage of sick people. Its basic mathematics--it has nothing to do with homosexuality.
Prohibiting gay marriage grants special exceptions to heterosexual couples while excluding homosexual couples. Homosexual couples are not treated equally under the law. That is a violation of the 14th amendment. To twist it the other way around is nonsensical.
Wow. What an amazingly ridicuous attempt to mitigate the insane, deadly gay male lifestyle. It has EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HOMOSEXUALITY.
What is ridiculous about basic math? What about what I said is false? Plugging your ears and shouting "wrong wrong wrong!!!" does not make something wrong.
You realize that you can't turn opinion into fact just by yelling right? Its basic math. A higher percentage will always occur in a smaller population. Anyway, I would think some of the RW of this site would be championing the strengthening of relationships, and the drop in promiscuity. Or does that only count for straight people?
Dead horse is dead. When you build your argument starting at point B instead of point A, you stack the deck in your favor. Because you are starting on a faulty premise. Before addressing such concepts as "equal rights," one must first produce evidence that people are different and thus being treated differently. This is starting at point A. Which the same sex crowd always insists on skipping.
No. I asked you to acknowledge your implied admission that gay males currently are riddled with pathologies. That's all. mod edit>>>PA response to deleted PA
I think its good that number of partners have dropped but you can't scientifically correlate that to the marriage factor. It sounds like they didn't even ask if the subjects were married. It would be very sad...if married gays had 2.3 partners as opposed to 2.9.
