I got your point, and I still say it's retarded. Not all, not even the majority, not even a significant minority of gay people are the sexually devient, bed-hopping whores you paint them to be. Supporter of gay rights my Fat French Ass.

Non monogamous hetrosexual couples aren't currently sitting on top of the religious conservative's 'agents of satan' list either.
So was Galileo. Why are you getting skiddish just because a few people (and not exactly the brightest of all people) disagree with you.

Out gay men and women on the other hand have to expect that if their life style choices are made public, socially (outside of the gay community) or professionally, that they will be forced to defend them, and likely as not will still experience victimisation, discrimination and prejudice because of those choices.
Gay people can take care of themselves. Perhaps if people like you weren't so damn concerned about the feelings of homosexuals they might start being seen as people in the eyes of the masses. No one likes being pitied.

I'd suggest that monogamy is unquestionably far less common in the gay male community then in the hetrosexual community.
No, it just gets more attention. It isn't weird when a straight person changes partners. I doubt there is a real difference between the number of parters straight people have and the number gay people has.

I'd suggest that while there is the possibility that this statement is subject to factors of visibility and that the lack of polyamorous long term commited relationships in hetrosexual couples is a matter of discretion, I'd suggest that thats almost as likely as Elvis being alive and well in Alpha Centauri.
Suggest away. All you like.

Gay women I'd suggest are more subject to debate. Anecdotally my experience is that monogamy is less common among gay women then hetrosexual couples. But its not even close to the dynamic differences in sexual practices while in commited relationships seen among gay men.
I must be around the unexciting, not fucking everyone within arm's reach gay crowd then.

Jade dolls/fucking machines? no. No their not. Dynamically different in relationship and sexual practices? Fuck yes they are. The gay activist community has a long tradition of failure to critically assess the negative implications of their actions. Their ideals are noble but their methods are often less then politically astute. Equality for relationship recognition, regardless of sexual preference is a very important thing. Politically? Gay marriage isn't a smart political agenda.
I'm sorry you're so jaded about this. Just because it's a stupid political agenda doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.
And if realism are truely jagged cliffs then I happily throw my styrofoam boat of idealism into it. Because without the idealists the people never have a reason to get anything. A small group of sufficiently motivated people is the only thing that can change society.

/marching for gay rights since '95
My mother is gay, I've been marching since I was a wee child. And in that time I've learned one important thing you seem to have missed. And it isn't homosexuals are gay people. It's homosexuals are people. Mature people who can take care of themselves, regardless of whether they can or cannot marry.
Do you believe that Jerry Falwell with develop the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes and go on a killing spree at the courthouses where all the gay people are dressed in skimpy leather outfits?
In gay marriage is granted what do you honestly think will happen? The poor gay people will find themselves married to someone that they'll grow to dislike? OK, they get a divorce, and enter into their next marriage a little bit wiser. That's how things go; because, people learn from their mistakes. There's no "OMG Scandal" though you might hear it in a general way on Fox News (Gay divorce rates climbing, are illegal drug use and pagan rituals to blame???!!!1 More at 11.). Things will continue, the world won't end. Do you have such a dim view on a person's ability to adapt? Or just a gay person's ability to adapt?
