Ake, I repeat: you don't know diddly-squat about homosexuals and their "lifestyle." You have your own little fiction cooked up and you keep dipping into that same rancid pot.

I know a fair number of homosexual men, and most of them are in stable, monogamous relationships, whether the law recognizes those relationships or not. They do want those relationships to be legally recognized so they, too, can have the same legal advantages that heterosexual couples enjoy, hence the gay-marriage movement.

There is no more promiscuity among this group than their is among heterosexuals. And what they want is for ignorant and prejudiced people to stop butting into their lives, harassing them, insisting that they are "perverts," and basically treating them like lepers when what they are and do in the privacy of their own homes simply does not affect anyone else.

Even if there are individual homosexual males who do not want to form stable relationships and prefer a life of promiscuity, the same holds true for a lot of heterosexual males as well! Anyone who is not aware of this hasn't been paying attention to the world around them!

What these men (and women) want are the same rights that heterosexuals have, and this is what makes it a civil rights issue.

It's really very simple.
