[tuesday afternoon]

Anything that encourages gay men to be non-promiscuous is a good thing.

Read this post. We are talking about people with an incredibly distorted view of sex. Read little jeremiah's post 25. They are not interested in being "tamed" or "housebroken." They want to change the rules of the game.

Of course I cannot deny that many if not most gay men behave in this manner. But not all gay men behave this way: many gay men are stay-at-home kind of people. Long-term relationships are not unusual and these are not always "open". The "queer activists" who talk about expanding the rules for sexual behavior and marriage do not speak for anyone but themselves (even if much of the gay crowd believes this); certainly they do not speak for certain friends and colleagues of mine. I may respectfully suggest that you yourself also do not have the right to speak of all gay people in these terms: characterizing gay men as incapable of lasting, true love and as being only interested in sex is an accurate description of many gay men (maybe most gay men) -- but not an accurate description of all gay men.
