"Since you have to admit that the majority of men are heterosexual, it would make sense that they account for the greatest number of assaults.What PERCENTAGE of "significant other" assaults are committed by men against men (as in the famous Texas Sodomy case and possibly the death) or women against women (quite ironic when a woman leaves her man and becomes a lesbian only to realize that women can slap someone around too). Might as well give the percent of women who beat men (and I've known some) but don't be surprised if those numbers are under reported because men are supposed to "suck it up and be a man" about it and don't get the support that battered womyns' sheleters get."
Well, this is an intelligent, logical response. I think you point out some great questions. The next thing to ask, after the polemics and emotions are put aside, are these very questions. If it can be demonstrated that the incidence of violence in the gay community is significantly larger than in the straight community, you have to unpack why that is. Are gays more violent? Or as some have asked, "Is it a response to years of marginalization?" (to which I am skeptical). Similar questions are being asked in the African American community.
In both cases, that kind of logical perspective leads to the end question, "What can be done about it?" Does a society accept statistics that say that 1 in every 100 straight men will perform a violent act on a spouse or partner and 3 out of every 100 gay men will, and leave it at that? Or does society have an obligation to reduce the 3 incidences to 1 for parity's sake? And if so, how would one propose getting those other two gay men to not drift or resort to violence. The same line of examination should hold for both genders, all races and both gay and straight sub-groups.
Great post!!
Here's the deal.
SSAD (Same Sex Attraction Disorder) is a deviance from normal sexuality. It is a psychological, emotional, sexual, and spiritual dysfunction. It is not normal, healthy, natural, or good for society when it is promoted as normal.
On the contrary, it is highly destructive for human society to allow it legality or promotion, and if you read what "gay" spokespeople themselves say, their desire is to entirely dismantle traditional morality and the natural family. Their words, not mine.
A much higher percentage of homosexuals than the normal population abuse alcohol and drugs, molest children, commit 'partner' abuse, have mental/emotional problems, are suicidal, and other miserable habits.
Medical science proves this, every religion in the world condemns same sex acts as immoral, and even Chinese Taoist philosophy states that same sex acts (espcially male on male) cause aggression, anger, illness, and psychosis.
Got it?
Are nerds marginalized? Why aren't they violent?
