Thanks for saying this.... as someone needed to!

Just another article for the Christian Terrorists to cherry pick from to brow beat the GLBTQI community....

Mind you, I'm not blowing shit to the OP for posting the story, as I think we all should be well informed about the information floating around about us, and our lives... But I mean really..... did the author only ask his friends how they dealt with being sexually bored? As of course, they will all have the same answer.....

Ask a group of haters how they feel about Queers, and see if the answer deviates by much......

Birds Of A Feather, Flock Together...

Amen! queerart Jan 2012 #16

Doesn't the word "rarely" in the quote indicate that it's not 100%? MNBrewer Jan 2012 #20

Rarely assumes that monogamous gays are an extreme minority. Fearless Jan 2012 #24

I think studies bear out that "monogamy" IS in the minority. MNBrewer Jan 2012 #28

That's not true. closeupready Jan 2012 #29

I can't post a link to it. MNBrewer Jan 2012 #32

You asserted the claim, so the burden is your's to substantiate it, not mine. closeupready Jan 2012 #35

See post 34 MNBrewer Jan 2012 #36

That study does NOT support your claim. closeupready Jan 2012 #37

By doing what? MNBrewer Jan 2012 #38

Alright, then MNBrewer Jan 2012 #39

That STILL does not support your initial claim. closeupready Jan 2012 #40

My claim was that most long term couples aren't monogamous MNBrewer Jan 2012 #43

Wrong. The data shows most DO agree to monogamy. closeupready Jan 2012 #44

Wrong MNBrewer Jan 2012 #45

No. The data do NOT show that at all. closeupready Jan 2012 #46

What they said the agreed to was not what they were MNBrewer Jan 2012 #47

ok. I'm done here. You're wrong, but there's no discussing this with you, IMO. closeupready Jan 2012 #48

I have to respectfully disagree. Fearless Jan 2012 #30

How many of those "monogamous" couples really were? MNBrewer Jan 2012 #33

In the second linked article. MNBrewer Jan 2012 #34

To which I add Fearless Jan 2012 #42

This is something often not spoken of in our community. It's an "elephant in the room." Behind the Aegis Jan 2012 #6

in my early years i considered my self a failure for either straying myself or xchrom Jan 2012 #7

And there are still many, to this day, who try to shame you for it. Behind the Aegis Jan 2012 #8

i think part of it was a kind of finally surrendering to being Gay. xchrom Jan 2012 #9

I think you are exactly correct. Behind the Aegis Jan 2012 #10

Lol! - yeah - I didn't want to be misunderstood. Nt xchrom Jan 2012 #11

It's true. We're like two halves of the same thing. HillWilliam Jan 2012 #27

"... he smells really, really good." LOL, yes, that's always a plus. closeupready Jan 2012 #26

I don't have any problem with open relationships. Not sure why closeupready Jan 2012 #15

IMO, this makes it sound like being gay is all about the sex theAntiRand Jan 2012 #17

You "don't follow the logic"....???? Yes, sex is logical, therefore these couples must be following closeupready Jan 2012 #18

BWAH! HillWilliam Jan 2012 #23
