How did you come to that conclusion? An overwhelming portion of HIV/AIDS positive patients are male, around 40% of the total carriers homosexual. How many people do you think are gay -- 100%? Insurance companies do not want to cover homosexuals, especially male, due to their risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.

If your going to quote statistics show were your getting them

you do know that straight guys do get drunk and occasionally have sex with eachother? So that statistic isn't entirely accurate. It does just say male to male, which doesn't just include people who are actuall gay.

Oy.. I have 100 people, 10 of which like the color blue. 4 of this subset has red hair, out 10 red-haired people overall. Thus, 40% of the red-haired people like blue. The remaining 90 all have brown hair, 6 of which like the color blue. 7% of the brown-haired people like blue. Overall, 10% like blue, 6% of them brown-haired, and 4% red-haired.

Sorry -- I had to run to class, and didn't have time to quote a source, so I made my number conservative. :(

Draupner: I'm not arguing with your statement about men getting drunk and having sex with other men. Think about this, would you have sex with someone if you got drunk if they were gay and you were not? Sure, but I (yes me) would not have sex with a man if i were drunk... just a thought. So your statement about the statistics can be very off. What % of americans get drunk and have sex? Hell i don't know. Probably alot. But for the most part its your fault for getting drunk and getting the AIDS and the fact that most AIDS is spread through male-to-male sexuality. I in my opinion, don't really care about gays. Now about gays getting married, what LE said, the thing about saying "my wife" or "my husband" isnt normal. There will always be gays and there will always be straights, but why would gays want to get married? Then I think about how would straights want to get married? Well they love each other no doubt, but is there more behind this than we think. Like everyone has been saying about the marriage benefits and such. Could this be the reason the gays want married? Who am I to judge what they are thinking and what their intentions are? I, myself, am straight. But my opinion on gays overall is: dont flirt with me and i wont argue with you being gay.
