Many. Or 'some'.
'Many' hetrosexual couples also agree to 'open' relationships.
Heterosexuals, it seems, simply do not know how to pick up total strangers in the street and have uncomplicated animal sex with them.
A rediculous, absurd statement. Not made by you, but you decided it wise to quote it.
Hetrosexuals are
more than capable of doing the above.
If you don't know this, then you are living under a rock.
As Australian government statistics have made quite plain, it is homosexual activity which accounts for the majority of HIV cases. More specifically, 94% of people known to be HIV positive are men, and at least 85% of cases of AIDS in Australia are attributed to male homosexual or bisexual contact.
More spin. Thankfully, I can read.
In the first sentence, the term 'homosexuality' is used, with no qualifiers.
In the second sentance, the first statistic mentioned isn't about homosexuality at all.
...it's about MEN.
94% of all HIV positives are MEN.
Then, the second statistic is attributed to homosexual / bi-sexual males.
Again, the common factor not being the word 'homosexual', but the word 'male'.
Homosexual males are - of course - going to be the most promiscous sub-group. That is because MALES are more promiscous, and a homsoexual male relationship consists of two males.
Again - the common factor in promiscuity is MALES. Not homosexuality.
THAT's why you, and your fellow bigots, only ever want to talk about male homosexuality.
Well, some of you recognise the problem. Which is why Cameron tried to take a ludicrous dig at Lesbians too:
Homosexuals more frequently met a violent end from accidental death, traffic death, suicide, and murder than men in general. The 163 lesbians registered a median age of death of forty-four (20% died old) and exhibited high rates of violent death and cancer as compared to women in general.
So Lesbians are more likely to meet an 'accidental' death?!
Traffic death?! (Lesbians don't' have enough sense to look both ways?!) More likely to get 'cancer'?! Are more likely to get 'murdered'?!
I think you may want to provide the actual DATA that backs these ludicrous assertions up bcspace, rather than relying on some 'summary' to inform you.
You'll believe just about anything, it if tells you what you want to hear. This is some of the worst nonsense I've ever seen...
Oh wait - no, I've seen worse. In fact, it's just coming up...
Paul Cameron has demonstrated a disproportionality between homosexuals and the rape and murder of children....
You're still pedelling this same trash I see. Nice.
What part of 'most pedophiles don't care about the sex of the child' and 'most pedophiles are male' don't you understand exactly?
Pedophiles are most often 'asexual'. The 'sex' of the child is
irrelavent. They find the bodies of
children attractive. Not 'male' children, or 'female' children. Just
children. The differences in the bodies of boys and girls at those young ages are far less defined, far less previlent, and not the underlying 'attraction' to most pedophiles.
Until you understand this, you won't understand the subject matter.
But of course, it's not your priority to understand anything.
The most recent twin study (2002), by Bearman and Bruckner, examines for the first time a large, representative sample of twins – both identical and fraternal – for sexual desire. They conclude that no evidence that homosexual desire is inherited: “the pattern of concordance (similarity across pairs) of same sex preference for sibling pairs does not suggest genetic influence independent of social context.”
Genetic does not equal inborn.
Modern studies show direct links between homosexuality and conditions in the womb. That's got very little to do with genetics.
You're behind the research.
And if you were actually intersted in understanding the subject matter, you would know better...
People who are in any kind of homosexual relationship are far more prone to domestic violence with their partners.
...Male homsexual relationships could be shown to have a higher rate of violence than a hetrosexual average, because both partners are male - and therefore both partners are more prone to violence.
The real 'myth' about lesbian relationships is that:
http://lesbianlife.about.com/od/lesbian ... yths_2.htm"Lesbian relationships can’t have domestic violence, because they are both women."Yet again, the word of importance here is
male. Not
homosexual.
Do all the studies you referenced demonstrate that Lesbians have a WORSE domestic violence than the average hetrosexual couple? Or do they show that domestic violence does indeed
exist within many lesbian relationships - to any kind of worrying degree? (Of course ANY and ALL domestic violence deserves the title 'worrying'...)
I'll look forward to your clarifications.
There is much much more including drug abuse, suicide, mental health problems even in areas of the world where homosexuality is considered normative.
Of course, you mean where the countries goverments have passed laws that point in the 'right' direction...
...if you have the studies that demonstrate the complete lack of bigotry against homsoexuals in said countries, please provide them. I've mentioned this several times on MAD, with no reply.
...maybe you can be the first...
Civil unions are legal in this country - the UK. The age of consent is also the same age for homosexuals as hetrosexuals. (Where once it was different).
It's hard to think of any way the UK 'disciminates' against homosexuals anymore.
Yet anti-homosexual bigotry is still very much alive in this country. I see it around me daily.
Oh - and of course Monk is right. Children are not the only reason to get married, as you well know. You can dance around that all you like, but it won't change the fact of the matter.
