More notably, we see how you are exercising a double standard. A heterosexual can have an "average of one new partner every four months since his 18th birthday," and it doesn't cause you "alarm," even though that rate will ultimately result in him having had 100 lifetime partners by age 60. Gee, when it's homosexuals reporting 100 lifetime partners, you give it red ink and proclaim it evidence of a pathology... but when it's straight guys doing exactly the same thing, it's "no cause for alarm."

I notice you're willing and eager to extrapolate when it suits you. However, as you may or may not be aware, there is this tendency among heterosexual men to be less sexually active as they grow older. Someone who had one new partner every four months at the age of 18 might settle down and get married at the age of 25, for example.

"Herculean?" I think you're being overly dramatic. Of course, that doesn't matter, because that study is from a single place (SF) at a certain time (long, long ago), and has no relevance to today.

Whoops ... there goes your inclination to extrapolate. I guess it doesn't suit you to apply the same logic to your chosen minority.

Your "incarcerated samples" tell us ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the general population. NOTHING AT ALL. Understand? You cannot point to people in prison and say: "this is how EVERYONE acts and thinks." It's ABSURD.

It's clear that the implications are either way over your head, or you're having that problem with extrapolation again. Put very simply, gays make up 2-3% of the general population, but they make up roughly 30% of the population that's incarcerated for pedophilia. Doesn't this appear to be just a bit disproportionate to you?

It doesn’t matter how many little tidbits you dredge up, you are still referring to only a minority of the population, PLUS you are ignoring the fact that the exact same or similar behaviors are clearly evident in the non-gay community as well.

Yes, but in vastly smaller proportions. A significant distinction that also appears to be sailing right over your head. This is what baffles me about these gay apologists. You are clearly enamored with your own intellect, and you obviously touched all the bases during your jog around the public education circuit, but you completely fail to grasp any argument based on extrapolation and disproportionality.

What we are seeing is your ongoing failure to demonstrate the pathological nature of sexual orientation… a failure that is still not surprising considering that sexual orientation is NOT a pathology. Your own citations, outdated and selective as they may be, ALL demonstrate that non-pathological homosexuals exist, thereby disproving your assertion of universal pathology.

Here we address another aspect of the argument that you have completely failed to grasp: cumulative effect, or the "chipping away" effect that I mentioned in Post #358. We see multiple pathologies appearing at rates that vastly exceed the rates in which they occur in the heterosexual population.

Individually, all these little raindrops don't mean much but in the aggregate, they are a flood that destroys the levees that have been built by gay rights activists and their puppets in the APA. Either you're feigning ignorance, or you really have no reasoning skills.
