if a man holds a party and has a threesome with 2 other women, no one is going to use the word "lifestyle" to describe it. But replace those women with men and they will.

"Lifestyle" is used for those who have more than one wife all the time. (even if they are simply wives in name only). They even use the word to describe themselves.

While Bryan Singer is a very intellectual, rational, and polite person, he is also a sex crazed, compulsive, out of control maniac.
Do I know if he's raped this kid? No. But what I do know is he has used his talent, power, and money to manipulate, pillage, and destroy the dreams of young boys.
He's slept with probably thousands of young men and boys throughout the years. Now, some were probably gold diggers, some wanted a thrill to be with a "celebrity", some were probably rent boys. But there's no doubt a large number of young actors, maybe even straight ones, who were promised roles by him and were taken advantage of.
This is hardly unique to Singer, but it's a huge problem in Hollywood.
Look at Brad Renfro, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman. Just three examples and the living one is a mess. Two out of three are dead. All were molested and raped by Hollywood executives.
The problem just isn't Singer. He's created a mini empire of middle aged ephebophiles, some who don't have a penny to their name but latch on to his, that troll the greater LA area for young meat from small town USA to take advantage of.
If any of you on this site have children aspiring to be in Hollywood, don't send them to LA. Don't bother. You're better off sending them overseas to war. At least that's an honorable cause. What good is it to send your good looking son or daughter to LA just to be used and spit out by some sleazy exec?
Trust me, they're far more likely to get used by a Bryan Singer type than actually make it anywhere.
Good to see Singer is getting some exposure and punishment. It's only the tip of the iceberg for a far bigger pandemic. The pervesion of Hollywood.
Yes, you may say it goes far beyond Hollywood. Of course it does. But there's rarely an industry as powerful and perverse as Hollywood is. You won't be seeing this, for example, in Big Oil, Tobacco, Cars, Defense, etc.

How is killing people a more "honorable cause" than getting and giving orgasms?
Giving and getting organisms by plying young people, often underage, with drugs and alcohol is better than fighting terrorists? Okay.
Fighting terrorists, my eye. We are the terrorists.
I wouldn't support "plying" anyone with alcohol or drugs to get sex, but you know, sometimes people who want to have sex do choose to include alcohol or drugs in the experience, which is a different matter.

We arent talking about swingers and people with multiple wives. EdwardA was talking about gay people in general, not The Director. Simply being gay. Thats the problem with both of your logic, and exactly why you are proving my point. The word lifestyle isnt applied to heterosexuality unless you are talking about the extremes and yet, its applied to all gay people regardless of the amount of partners.
Also, People on this site complain all the time about "political correctness", yet when when you get called out on it, all of a sudden, its being touchy over a word. pot meet kettle.

I'm not wrong about anything. You said it was only applied to those who are gay. As shown that isn't true. Now if you wanted to argue that people generally do this towards those who live outside of the general norm, I would agree with that but it's not necessarily a bad thing unless you are too touchy.
Friends of mine are always out camping. Out on the rivers with their kayaks. Fishing, rock climbing. They live an outdoor lifestyle.
Can some use it as a veiled way to try and offend? Sure, but if someone leads a "gay lifestyle" it's probably something based in a generalization but certainly not automatically a bad thing.
