  Go here: urlLink This is to pre-empt yet another stupid internet rumor that's probably going to gain in popularity in the weeks to come. I'm not even going to dignify this piece of crappy reporting by quoting it here. The link is to my favorite advice columnist, Dan Savage.
Dan is as queer as a three dollar bill, pulls no punches when offering sexual advice to the masses, and is a generally entertaining read. Of course, this issue is begging me to get on the subject of sexual orientation, so excuse me while i indulge myself on a rant here: I've come across a lot of gay folks in my day. A lot. University is the prime place to be questioning one's sexuality, along with everything else. University students have a tendancy to question everything; to try and figure out where they fit. Understandable, but common sense should come up and rattle these people a bit. I truly wholeheartedly believe that one's sexual orientation is NOT a choice, but there are a lot of fucked-up post teens who give it a go in the university scene.
In this morass of stupid descisions, there are the folks who feel they just have to stand up and face the music, who have to admit that they are, in fact, gay, and that they're trying to get on wit their lives the best way they can. Good for them. My beef is the promiscuity issue. Promiscuity is wrong, and it's going to hurt people. A few of my guy friends who came out became sluts. There isn't a thing called safe sex, you're putting a piece of latex or sheepskin or whatever between yourself and a disease that will not only kill you, but probably make a lot of other people sick before you even realise you have it, and you're spreading it around. Promiscuity is everywhere, not just in the gay side of things. Sex is used as a weapon, for power, for everything. I could have sold a lot more dishes with just the hint of sex, showing off my body, being flirtatious.
Back home in Hick City, a guy's status is greatly elevated according to how many girls he's been with. (This only goes one way, girls are not cool by having multiple partners. ) I had shocked and amazed people by stating that I would not date a particular fellow because he had been with too many girls. In university, a lot less had changed than I would have liked. Jocks at my school were supplied with bunnies who wanted them.
The more bunnies they had, the more bunnies wanted them. I'm of the mind that homosexuality, in and of itself is no more evil than any other thing. We're all sinners, right? It's the choices one makes that make it evil, or not. Be gay, be straight, be whatever your little heart desires, but be monogamous.
