Borrowing a line from Blazing Saddles, There is no avoiding this conclusion, this thread is turning into Sh&t.
We can debate like adults if openly gay people should be apponited to top leadership positions in the military, esspecially when the don't ask don't tell policy ended a not that many years ago. But do we really need to go down the path widely accepted at TOS and alow gay bashing here?
By that, you mean the positions held by the vast majority of Americans throughout the vast majority of our history?
I study this issue. I've been studying it since the 1990s, and people have no idea how the wool has been pulled over their eyes relating to this issue. They are shocked to hear an opinion different from what the Liberal media has conditioned them to believe.
Like others here have pointed out in their own lives, I work with gay people, and have a niece who is gay, and none of these people I know fit the pervert profile somebody is trying to broadbrush them with.
And how would you know? Do you go to gay bars or hookups with them? First of all, I will point out that lesbians are very different creatures from male homosexuals. I'm not going to get into it, (at this time) but their behavior and motivation is at the opposite end of the spectrum from queer males.
If you are basing your opinions on the behaviors of Lesbians, you aren't going to be able to apply them to the crazy promiscuity demonstrated by the "gay" males. Queer males exhibit the male sex drive, while queer females still exhibit the female sex drive.
To get an idea of how this works in practice, imagine you are a normal horny young male, and then imagine that you have no moral inhibitions and that there are thousands of beautiful young girls who are eager to have sex with you the first time you meet them. In other words, Females with strong male sex drive, instead of the more normal less aggressive female sex drive.
Well most young males would go crazy. They would be hopping into two or three beds per day for days at a time. They would do this for weeks, until they were exhausted. After a break, they would resume for as long as they could keep it up. (Believe me, I know servicemen who were stationed in the Philippines, and that is exactly what they did. )
So now imagine those thousands of young females were males, with real male sex drive, and that you were attracted to them, and wanting to do to them what the normal males wanted to do with the females. Imagine that, and you will have an idea of what Male "gay" culture is like.
They will literally have thousands of partners in their lifetime. Not 10 or 20, Thousands. Studies of the San Francisco bath houses (during their heyday) demonstrated that they were having on average, 10 sexual encounters per night.
You want to discuss this topic like adults? Let's get into it. I always encourage people to look up reliable sources of information regarding this topic. The reality is far uglier than the fantasy story that has been pedaled by activists and the media. (Same thing nowadays.)
