What is it with these freaks that compels them to swathe themselves in other people's religious symbols?

What a load of crap! I've been married for thirteen years and I resent the gays who tell me that they are much better at relationships.

[Devil_Anse]

I was going along, reading this article, when suddenly it struck me how absurd all this is--as I remembered ever so long ago, sitting on a French Quarter balcony late at night, and hearing two men, clearly a couple, having a heated argument which grew until weapons (bags, shoes) began to be brandished. Louder, louder, louder, more obscene, and then the police finally got there, several bruises and one broken window pane later.

Then I remembered the sad lesbian lawyer I knew way back in about 1985. She'd used to be the Number One of one of my bosses, who was also a lesbian (obviously); but she'd had to extricate herself from the relationship b/c the other woman battered her severely more than once. And yes, "extricate" was the word she used.

I know of a few other incidents, too. In one of which a gay man was shoved against a glass pane by his lover, and ended up cut badly enough that he had to go to the hospital and get stitches. On the bright side, those two are still together and seem to be doing much better.

Obviously people don't go around bragging about stuff like this. And obviously, there are many male-female couples in which this occurs--heaven knows, we hear about them ad nauseam. Notice, however, that on one of the tabloids this week, they are featuring the dirt on fights that Roy & Siegfried have had during their relationship. Congrats, Roy & Siegfried! You've finally arrived! The media are beginning to treat you like heteros--airing your dirty laundry, and generally acting like what you do is somehow unnatural. Ain't being in the mainstream great, guys?

This certainly hasn't been what I've witnessed. The gay couples (male) that I know have very violent relationships.

Gay, lesbian couples can teach heterosexuals how to improve relationships: U of Wash

This is from "The Onion", isn't it?
(standard rhetorical comment on freakin', unbelievable stories/headlines).

But seriously, IIRC, both James Dobson ("Focus On The Family"; www.family.org) and other
Christian groups have had the bad manners to cite studies from (secular) scientific
journals and newspaper articles that show that even when gays are offered "gay marriage"
as in The Neatherlands, we find that the "marriage" lasts on average 1.5 years.

Of course, trying to explain the statistics of an institution to
someone with a gay agenda is just about hopeless...none so blind but those
who will NOT see.

Marriage between one man and one woman has always had problems...but as Churchill said about
democracy vs. all the other governmental models:
It beats all the other systems that have been tried.

[VOA]

"Gay and lesbian couples are a lot more mature, more considerate in trying to improve
a relationship and have a greater awareness of equality in a relationship than straight
couples," said John Gottman...

Because they know that their "marriage" won't last nearly as long as a real (1 man -- 1 woman)
sort of marriage. They're like the "Avis Rental Car" of marriage...they KNOW they've
got to try a lot harder. To keep their fake deal afloat.


"I think that in 200 years heterosexual relationships will be where gay
and lesbian relationships are today," said Gottman, who now heads the Relationship
Research Institute in Seattle.

I'm sure some M.D.s in the thriving metropolis of Sodom agreed...but their opinions
somehow just didn't get written down...

""Gay and lesbian couples are a lot more mature, more considerate in trying to improve a relationship and have a greater awareness of equality in a relationship than straight couples," said John Gottman, a University of Washington emeritus professor of psychology who directed the research along with Robert Levenson, a University of California, Berkeley, psychology professor."



Um. This is pure falsehood. My studies in sociology during college were clear - the highest levels of domestic violence is in gay couples.

"Gay and lesbian couples are a lot more mature, more considerate in trying to improve a relationship and have a greater awareness of equality in a relationship than straight couples"

"I think that in 200 years heterosexual relationships will be where gay and lesbian relationships are today"

"Straight couples start a conflict discussion in a much more negative place than do gays and lesbian couples. Homosexuals start the same kind of discussions with more humor and affection, are less domineering and show considerably more positive emotions than heterosexual couples.

Gay and lesbian relationships seem to be marked by what Gottman calls "the triumph of positive emotions over negative emotions."

"Another interesting thing that emerged in conversations the couples had was that gays and lesbians are more honest ... Same sex couples talk about sex, and are more mature and honest and less fragile in talking about it."

Gays and lesbians may be more competent at having a mature relationship.

To sum it all up: Homosexuals are superior to those antiquated "breeders" ...

"Gay, lesbian couples can teach heterosexuals how to improve relationships"

Another tactic to legitimize unhetero relationships. It could work. A gay man might show a hetero wife how to unleash her feminine side and a lesbian might ...
Naw, it won't work.
