My, "Proof too that it is all BS that homosexuals are not denied marriage 'rights'",

should be,

"Proof too that it is all BS that homosexuals are denied marriage 'rights'".

Wn Trevor,
I've heard Gays give that explanation, in person before, I don't buy it, it's a cover up and when you dig deeper and get to know them better there's always something there, childhood trauma, family dysfunction and lifestyle factors which influenced their decisions, even if at a subconscious level.

Families also play a part I've known two sets of brothers where the older sibling has been sucked into the Gay life in his late teens and then drawn the younger brother in while they were still in puberty. My friend Stuart told me while he was drunk one night that he'd been raped at 13 when he sneaked off to a party with his Gay older brother, two other men I know were drawn into the life by their Gay older brother and have both had violent and chaotic lives as Gays, ironically the older brother is now married to a woman and has a young daughter. All, as in 100% of the bisexual men I knew in my twenties are now either married with kids or have settled down with a woman, and note that during that decade almost all the males I knew and worked with in hospitality were not straight.
AJ Phliips,
The "latent homosexual" slur is just another myth based on Freudian pseudo science, it's statistically improbable as this article explains:

It doesn't help to refer to every homosexual person as "gay" - only a minority makes a big deal of their sexual orientation and those who do not should feel offended by that dubious title.

The main feature of the gay lifestyle is the accent on sexuality and body-looks: which gender(s) one is attracted to is only secondary.

I found the following in dictionary.com, which I like:

8. Older Use. sexually unrestrained; having loose morals: In the 1930s movie, the baron is referred to as “a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies.”.

So while there is nothing wrong about homosexuals adopting children, I think that it's not a good idea for gays to be in custody of children, regardless whether they happen to be homosexual-gays or heterosexual-gays.

Yuyutsu,
It goes back further than that, the "Gay life" was slang for the street life of the inner city, the world of hustlers, prostitutes and criminals and yes, the homosexual couples I know of with children are all Lesbians but to my knowledge they don't have anything to do with the Gay milieu. My old uncle lives next door to one of the very rare male same sex couples who have kids and they are so non Gay in outlook that he goes over for a beer with them of a night, they don't have any Gay friends either and moved way out to the country to raise their adopted kids.
