Unless you are a gay man isn't this what you are doing yourself though?

except that I am not saying that the vast majority of gay men behave in a certain way (ie. most gay men enjoy cottaging and sexually harrassing other men). Also, I have read a fair bit of queer theory, and am technically a member of the 'gay community' (I can't seem to find the community centre :S ) and the guff they are saying about lesbians and female sexuality leads me to suspect they are talking out of their arses.

technically gay isnt that like slightly pregnant

I missed the bit about cottaging and sexually harrassing other men, I thought he was just talking about promiscuity and emotional detachments from phsyical activities. But I didn;t read it all I guess.

Didn't say 'technically gay' I said 'technically a member of the gay community'. Big difference.

The problem is that it's just a guess made by people who are outside of that group based on anecdotal evidence.

do you wan to dig up stats always seems kinda dull

most gay rights advocates I've known have been very much,

we want the same rights as you, doesn't mean we want to be like you

Though others have pointed out it was normal technical issues and not the upcoming Olympic Gaypocalypse.

Laughing out loud

Speaking from experience...most straight are a little wary of gay men, it conjures up subconscious fears and in extreme cases can lead to what we call gay bashing.
One of my closest friends in my teenage years was a gay lad and the crap he had to put up with on a daily basis was unbelievable. He even got stoned once ( the non pot type!) and of course I was shouted at for having a 'queer' boyfriend, shows how ignorant the prats were ...but yep, the gay guys I knew and I knew loads at the time, were promiscuous, very sexually competitive but ultimately looking for someone to love, like everyone else.

I don;t think Godot said he was 'wary' I read it that he had a lot of gay friends, was comfortable in their presence and they had related to him some of the activities he described. I could be wrong. But yes generalising per se is not a good idea, it's a broad sprectrum this humanity after all.

The straight men I knew at the time, and some since, best to only ever talk from experience...that's why I put that disclaimer first!

All very reasoned and intelligent arguments.

I actually met a gay once.

Beautiful creature, I loved how he nuzzled me.

Hated how he shat in a box of gravel in the kitchen and left dead birds on my bed.

My advice is if you have troubles with a gay then feed them bits of salmon in cream.

They love it!

Lets hope you didn't have him neutered!
