I worked in the prison system for 28 years. Homosexual behavior occurs because it's what's available. There's also alot of masturbation. Sex in prison occurs sometimes as power or control.

There are some inmates who are smart and many who are well below average IQ. There are some inmates who are mentally ill. The Cal system is the largest mental health system in the owrld. We don't use state hospitals so much any more. Regardless of the inmate's mental state some of them will "rape" another inmate if they can. I don't know stats, but based on my career, I don't think there's a lot of inmates having sex.

There are no correlations studies I know between homosexual behavior in prison and mental health.

Your post reminds me of conversations we would have with inmates. They would rape another inmate and when we would ask if they were homosexual, they would get angry and deny it. These are people with wives and girl friends. We were actually trying to get them to stop by embarrasing them. Sex drive is a powerful thing.

All that said, I see no connection to being able to get married. You say homosexual sex isn't "right." I say, it's not your call or place to impose that believe on others.

I am curious where you stand on sex between siblings, parent-offspring, human-animals and children? Just wondering where you draw a line, if any? You seem to follow the ancient Roman line of thinking and law where sex with anything was permitted and male homos often had catamites. I do appreciate your comments about the prison system and thank you for your service.

The percentage of prisoners who go queer because that is the only option is higher in some demographics and lower in others but still rather low overall.

As you said, it's also used in rape but that is more likely simply to abuse or degrade (and the predators indeed enjoy that) but that behavior too is more common in certain demographics in prison.

I don't think anyone has the right to tell homosexuals they cannot be homosexual but we are free to deny them special consideration, not allow them to indoctrinate our children, and hold them responsible for when their behavior is destructive on themselves and society as a whole.

The past 40 years has seen a one-sided encroachment of their culture on mine and to my knowledge I have not stripped one right from them they did not already not have.

The loud homosexuals want acceptance of their sexual habits plain and simple and they are projecting that neurosis on the rest of us. I would prefer they simply enjoyed it privately. That's all homosexuality is: about sex...sex that most heterosexuals find repulsive at best.

But you're right...they should be able to enjoy that...just not foist it in the rest of our faces if we don't want it.

btw....there is a lot more to all this than just what I'm opining...it also tends to encompass ideology, militant feminism, school policies etc
