By the way. The paper forwarded for publication here was a meta paper of many similar papers too. NICE guidelines for treating sexual orientation anxiety specifically preclude looking for promiscuity as a symptom. In any event, what the hell has that to do with gay people getting married? If we were pathetic enough to see equality as a medical necessity anyway, marriage and civil partnerships combat the (non existent) promiscuity the papers refer to. It is all well and good observing a phenomenon such as length of time a relationship lasts in a particular demographic. It is wrong however to make conclusions based on prejudice as such papers do. Short term relationships through lack of society acceptance are very different to the odious "let's find someone to fuck" fantasy that seems to keep Akenaton interested in the subject. Considering decent people accept gay relationships in the same way as mixed race now, (it wasn't always the case there either) bile from the likes of Akenaton will become less until one fine sunny day, it falls quiet forever.
