Believe it or not, all of the answers said that if a country’s population was 10
How could having 10
A given population as in for a country?
It is first of all most important to point out that gay men themselves suffer worst from most from these largely self-imposed conditions, a suffering so profound that it almost moves you to tears. Compassion is essential. Nevertheless, there is a cost to society. Some of these issues may be caused by discrimination (see the high teenage gay male attempted suicide rate), but there is a cost to society no matter what causes it. Some of these problems would lessen with increased acceptance of gays, but others would linger or possibly even worsen. The question comes up whether gays pay for the costs they bring to society. Many gays seem to have above average intelligence for some reason, especially gay men. Gays seem more artistically talented than straights. More gays than straights seem to get college degrees, in particular gay men. Gay men seem to earn higher than average wages and are disproportionately employed in high paying and prestigious professions. I am always hearing about a homosexual, often a gay man, who is contributing something noteworthy and exemplary to our society such that it mentions a media notice. Obviously, gay men contribute more to the tax base per capita than straights. So gays, especially gay men, offer considerable benefits to society, not flowing from their homosexuality but from other aspects of their lives. I have not discussed lesbians here because I know little about them, but I doubt that they impose serious costs on society other than reduced lifespan. However the question rises whether gays pay for themselves. Despite their excellent contributions to society and their higher than normal tax contributions, I still do not think that homosexuals pay for themselves. The question then arises about whether the rest of us should be willing to carry a small burden for our gay brothers. Personally I feel that at
Honestly, even when you get to 1
Homosexuality in society seems to be one of those things, like many things in life, that is best in small doses.
It’s sort of like weed. It shouldn’t be illegal, but it shouldn’t be condoned by society.
The bad effects of both are well documented.
Yeah no shit. Quit promoting it! I mean if they got wired up that way and can’t help it, we need to treat these people equally, and it’s wrong to treat them badly. On the other hand, trust me that it’s way more than just the 2% of the population that are gay men who are running around screwing guys. A LOT of guys who are not even gay at all do this sick shit, and they don’t have to either. They’re doing it by sheer choice.
Also gays recruit and convert. They prey mercilessly on very goodlooking young straight men. For these young straight men, society is like a minefield full of these damned pests. It’s really nightmarish. I’m done with gay men. They tried to fuck me and brainwash me into thinking I was gay one too many times. I don’t want to deal with these pests anymore. I will give them equal rights, but they need to stay the Hell away from me and get the Hell out of my life.
I don’t dislike them because they are gay. I dislike them for what they did to me 1,000 too many times. I dislike them for their chosen behavior. Pests!
Bottom line is for straight men especially very goodlooking young straight men, gay men are a plague.
The whole gay thing – like the other “identity politics” stuff – started out as a righteous anger against years of abuse. Nonetheless, it went “amok”
People heeding to the demons of “whatever goes” – are not following good advice.
But, honestly, straights – in their pursual of lust – can approach the same depravity.
Not really. Straights as a group are not nearly as depraved as gay men. Women just don’t put out like gay men do, which is actually a good thing!
