The Lambada report? Never heard of it. Was Ritchie Valens involved?

You can cite your anecdotes, and I can cite mine. People can be judgmental, no question, and not just about homosexuality. But I've found quite a bit of tolerance among most of the saints too.

And I'll add this little zinger as well: sometimes people who come out as gay get hypersensitive to how they are being treated. Sometimes they see offense where either none existed, or none was intended. Heck, I've known people so paranoid about their divorce, or their job loss, or whatever, that they think the WHOLE ward is talking about, when in truth very few even know about it. Don't tell me that doesn't happen with people hypersensitive about their own sexual orientation.

non sequitur with the facts. He has an agenda and it beats anything of truth.

“Survey Finds 40 percent of Gay Men Have Had More Than 40 Sex Partners,” Lambda Report, January/February 1998,...

The following. for example, was published in Lambada:

24 percent of gay men had more than 100 partners.
43 percent of gay men had more than 500 partners.
28 percent of gay men had more than 1,000 partners.
...

I don't get it -- they're saying 40% have had >40 sex partners, but also saying 95% have had more than 100 partners?

You are confusing the Lambda report with the Lambada report.

How are the percentages going up as the number of partners increase?

I wonder how many of those 100s of partners were married men at truck stops? Does this affect your view of heterosexuals?

I wonder how many heterosexuals have had multiple partners? I wonder how much higher this number would be if we didn't allow anyone to marry?

Another pearl from exUte...

Good luck getting a pearl from ExUte. You would have better luck finding them in a sea of rocky mountain oysters.

This would be true of heterosexuals as well if women were interested in sex at the level men are.
