replied Deekers. Deekers, I am providing the link above that was given in this thread, presumably to show that gay marriage was condoned in the early Church. I would have words to address that, but are not germane to our discussion.
I only cite that link now because of your claim that gay people now are expressing their sexuality in finding lifetime mates.
Whereas that may be in some ways and when it is done, considered a newer expression of homosexuality, I do not believe that the homosexual promiscuity you claim to be archaic does not exist. And in fact, I would say that if polled, most homosexual sex occurs outside the boundaries of a once-in-a-lifetime relationship.

| Yes, I've heard that some form of commitment ceremony was conducted for people of the same sex in the early Church. I haven't studied that myself, so I also have no words to discuss it.
I didn't say that homosexual promiscuity doesn't exist. I said that the promiscuous lifestyle of some gays are over-represented in studies done by right-wing groups on gay male sexual behavior. When they're polling gay people, they don't seek out all the couples who are staying home watching TV, having dinner with friends, or spending time with their children. They do their polling at the bars and clubs in large cities where the gays are easiest to find and identify, and where of course the lifestyles are going to be more promiscuous. It's not that there aren't promiscuous gay people; it's that most gay people aren't as promiscuous as religious leaders and politicos would have you believe.
As I said, if you wanted to know about the sexual behavior of the average heterosexual, you wouldn't only go to bars and clubs to find out, would you?
And I would say that if polled, most heterosexual sex occurs outside the boundaries of a once-in-a-lifetime relationship as well. |
