It most definitely can.
No, I don't think it can be. I really don't.

That actually backs up my argument since you just admitted that you're not describing a gay lifestyle - you're describing a male lifestyle.
Which is why I think you need to meet more gay people or maybe it's that you've already met them but didn't realize it since they didn't make their sexuality their lifestyle.
Certainty doesn't do much for the truth. You're describing a subset of gay men and the lifestyle of a subset of gay men does not equal a "gay lifestyle" particularly since it is the same type of promiscuous lifestyle had by subsets of straight men and women.
No, I don't think it can be. I really don't.
If he found the gay yellowpages and dialed at random and chose a few hundred names then maybe
I am opposed to normalizing what is obviously abnormal for just one group that is different than the norm, merely for financial benefits. Ive said this more than once a single male or female loves their mother father sister brother just as much and cannot pass on their social security and cover their mothers or fathers with their health benefits. Neither should homosexuals.

Homosexuality and SSM is against my religious beliefs, I don't believe that one is born gay or has no control over becoming gay, and I have not seen any scientific study to prove that wrong.
I don't believe homosexuals are "eveil" or "disgusting" or any other derogatory name anyone would assign them. I believe they should be treated with the same dignity and respect as any other person.
Yes it was a mistake, I don't know why you are having trouble believing me.
I don't think the gays who based their entire lifestyle on their sexuality are all that different than the Christians who based their entire lifestyle on their religion.
How do you know? Or are you just guessing because you think you have an all knowing in to my life?
No I do believe you.
Now answer the question!!! j/k lol
That doesn't matter. Homosexuals are asking for a right that no-one else has, because they are homosexuals.
I don't believe anyone can know enough to have a large enough sample. All are experiences are limited to where we go, who we know, what circles we travel in. I can think of no cases where personal experience has ever been considered enough to answer a question like this.
"supposedly black"? Who are you, Colin Powell? :lamo :lamo :2razz:
My personal pole may not be as accurate, but it also does not mean it is not correct.
Source? Here's mine:No, I am describing a gay life style that a much larger per capita group lives than in heterosexual circles.
A prevalent stereotype about gay men is that they are promiscuous and are either unwilling or unable to have enduring or long-term relationships. However, several surveys of gay men in the United States have shown that between 40 percent and 60 percent are involved in a steady relationship.[34] Research also suggests that a slightly higher proportion of lesbians than gay men may be in steady relationships.[35][36] A 2007 study reported that two large population surveys found "the majority of gay men had similar numbers of unprotected sexual partners annually as straight men and women."

Then you admit it isn't a "gay lifestyle", it's a "promiscuous lifestyle".Blackdog said:I don't need to meet gay people. I work with them, live around them and I don't care who they sleep with. This does not change the disgust I feel for the life style among those I mentioned.
And the problem is that saying "gay lifestyle" equates being gay with a lifestyle. There isn't a "gay lifestyle" because gay people live differently.Blackdog said:See this is what I mean. I am describing a majority subset or not. I read the surveys and live around em. I am not blind. I know what it is and how they portray themselves.
I never said gay men= equal gay life style or anything close. I said a majority not all. I suppose this was also a mistake?
Interesting comparison. This works against the contention that gay people don't see their sexuality as being any more important than straight people do.
Let's not talk about your personal pole...or did you mean poll? :mrgreen:

Oh no, not when marriage becomes nothing more than a legal contract.
Let me ask you a few questions.
How do you know I was always a Christian?
How do you know every place I have lived in my life?
How do you know everyone I have encountered in my life?
BDBoop's true color = green.
So if I use conservpedia you will accept that?
Nobody was "always" a Christian.
Can you say you have lived in a community with a significant gay presence and that you have befriended them and seen this so called lifestyle with your very own eyes?
So could you specify what exactly it is mean by "that lifestyle" and what is so "repulsive" about it.
All of my conservative Wikipedia using and contributing friends would be shaking their heads right now.So if I use conservpedia you will accept that?
Source?Ahhh no. One in the same for far to many.
Sure, since it's just the same as saying "far too many straight men and women life an immoral and repulsive style of life". You're describing promiscuity, it's pretty simple.OK so if I said: Far to many gay men live an immoral and repulsive style of life." You would be OK with that?
