Where Do You Stand On Homosexuality?

Same here.

Live and let live. Why should some people (red states) tell others how to get off?

It also explains why there are so many homosexuals in big cities like Chicago or New York.

I wouldn't jump to apply the "overpopultated rats" theory to human beings. Look at India, and China, etc. They have a large population, and their rates of homosexuality are probably about the same as less crowded places. I'm not justifying the population explosion - I just wonder if it has anything to do with people's sexual orientation.

Gay people have traditionally gone to San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, etc. - and many of the gay residents of these cities are not from there originally.

i think it sick but i dont really give a damn as long as a guy doesn't try that shit wit me

:upsidedow

Breukelen, you make valid points. I gave the rat example simply to show that homosexuality is not "unnatural" as some people claim. Whether or not the overpopulation thing applies to humans or not is speculation. Perhaps homosexuality is more common, perhaps it's just less hidden, and perhaps there is simply more media coverage.

Good point on the cities thing, too. I agree that most residents in such areas are not originally from there, I just find it interesting that homosexuals tend to congregate in heavily populated areas, as if they were somehow drawn to them, hearkening back to the lab test anecdote. I meant that comment as nothing more than that--anecdotal.

a good idea of why, is because gay people are outnumbered by straight (that is a fact) so they move to heavily populated cities becasue they know they stand a better chance finding another gay person that they are compatible with there, then if they were in a lowly-moderately populated city...

even if straight-gay were equal, anyone would stand a better chance finding "the one" in a heavily populated area, than a smaller city...

At one time, promiscuous behavior in the gay urban ghettos was the a trend (but NOT with all of them I'm sure). AIDS has curtailed that. The old "bathhouses" are all gone: Bette Midler got a huge start entertaining the patrons of these places in New York, c. early 1970â??s. Barry Manilow was her bandleader at the Continental Baths in the old Ansonia Hotel. Melba Moore, Peter Allen, Cab Calloway, The Manhattan Transfer, John Davidson, Wayland Flowers and many other made the place very successful. There were "straight" places, such as Plato's Retreat, also. All of them, as far as I know, were closed down by the Health Department. I remember "massage parlors" in Times Square, and they are gone also. You can get anything you want here, for a price, but itâ??s no longer out in the open.

P.S. I didn't visit Plato's, or engage in ANY of these activities, lol. I never believed that I'd get AIDS from a woman, but even before that I never wanted to risk getting the clap, syphilis, or herpes. I DID attend a live peep show once - you had to feed tokens in your booth to keep watching. This was really seedy - the girls would stick their body parts (for extra $) through the partition for guys to enjoy. I kind of miss the seedy aspects of Times Square - not that Iâ??d patronize the live shows, etc., anymore (Iâ??m married), but itâ??s a part of New York that will probably be forgotten - except for books and movies. As soon as I get a widescreen TV, my first purchase will be Taxi Driver. Another good movie about the seediy days of NYC is Midnight Cowboy, which I saw when it was released in the theaters. I have the DVD - great movie! Death Wish is another good NYC movie from this period, as is the hard- to- find The Incident,

I was thinking about this yesterday when I was stoned and I thought about how I don't like homosexuals yet I'm not gonna go beat the shit out of one because he or she is gay. Then I got thinking about how alot of people who say whatever floats your boat wouldn't care if they where friends with a gay or whatnot but would have a extreme hate against pedophiles. Well pedophiles are just looking out for what they find attractive shouldn't that be aloud? You might say well even though it may be consensual with the kid that kid will probably have a fucke up life later on because they in fact didn't really want to have sex with a 40 year old man. The same thing could happen to a gay except he couldof been confused sexualy and ended up doing something he will in fact later regret. The same could happen to some one straight. So it would take a perfect world where everybody is ok with everything in order for some one to possibly be sure no one would be hurt in the act of choosing who to have sex with. Since this perfect world will never happen you would think you would want to do what is the safest which would be everyone grab a partner get married and have a amnish life. Now since the world has been *tainted* in a way alot of people could never go to that amnish life because they have seen what they find better and cannot drop it. So you have people doing what they see fit and people saying what that person sees fit is bad and you got law whether it is written or not written. Their is a ton more to it but im tired of writing and im slightly stoned so im not sure if it is written well enough to make sense. Peace

if they are gay, they're gay.

why should anyone give a fuck?

Yeah I've got no problems with people being gay basically whatever turns you on.And my question to those who do have a problem with gay/lesbian is what business is it of yours anyway what they do behind there doors?
