Jeff, did you read any of these sites or just do a quick and dirty Google?

If you read them then you would find out that the leading cause or drug abuse among gays is the lack of social acceptance and the pressures that it causes. (Back to gay bashers and homophobes).

Gays have a drug problem. Uhh, so do professional athletes, straights, alcoholics, priests and police. Alright I can see why it so bad that gays have it, but not the others. Ohh, wait, your not saying it's OK for the others too. Well, then just lump gays in with people who have a drug problem. No more, no less.

Risky behavior is personal choice. That includes all risks, even if it has a high disease risk. Unprotected sex is the number one cause for teen pregnancies and the spread of STDs in the heterosexual community (by the way, did you know that the largest growing population of newly infected HIV is heterosexuals). Why are you singling out gays for this activity?

Now let’s touch on the claim that gay relationships are unstable. Do you mean more unstable than heterosexuals? Want to try getting figures for that? I thought not. The pressures that gays face are much greater than heterosexuals face for their relationships (many studies of this) and yet they still do better. I know those nasty homos are getting more sex than you, but so did most of our sports stars (who had boasted about 10,000 women laid?). Why aren’t we trying to stop them nasty sports stars?

As for parenting, I suppose the views that Rick has posted about gays are prime examples of good parenting leading to tolerance and acceptance? Not hardly! No, you can protest about how “gays are throwing it in your face” and that “your views need to be respected”, but it all comes down to intolerance and bigotry, mostly hiding behind the face of religion. What hypocrisy! If parenting was so great, then why do we still have bigotry and hatred?

All of these proposed arguments highlight only one thing, your intolerance and bigotry.
