Here is what is not subjective. Sex crimes are committed more frequently by heterosexual males than homosexual ones. It is a fact, not an opinion.
Not to mention that its all merely opinion, and happened a loooooooong time ago in a smallish Midwestern city.

I've come across a much larger percentage of straight people who feel the need to make negative comments about gays than I have gay people who feel the need to make negative comments about straight people. And when it's gays making negative comments about straight people, more often than not, it's about the fact that some straight people just love to go on about how awful and wrong homosexuality is.

Wow, they couldn't find a better lawyer? Or were you assigned to them for some reason? Seriously...what idiot chooses a homophobic lawyer to defend their gay rights?

This the question that really begs an answer.....
What was the straight attorney for the gay club doing hanging out there?

I worked in a lot of bars during college, and never were the attorneys for said bars hanging out in them.

I should add the STD transmission risk is higher for gay males but puny for lesbians, so the STD transmission argument is a weak one, cause in the end it balances it out.

The problem, really, is men.

I don't know why this is difficult to understand.


If straight women were as open to having sex as much as men wanted them to, then straight men would have sex as often as the gay single male. WOMEN are the gatekeepers of chastity. If there were sex clubs where horny women sat around willing to have sex with men, there would be hundreds of men lined up around the building every single day. If there were places where hot women sat in bathroom stalls, willing to perform oral sex on men through holes in the wall, the straight men's room would have as long a line as the women's bathroom, 24/7. We see glimpses of the possibility of straight promiscuity during events such as Mardi Gras, or college Spring Break.

Straight MEN used to be able to demand it, take it, rape it whenever they wanted (and they did) before women got enough power in society. They no longer can. Righteously indignant straight men can thank their women for keeping them honest.

But I digress.

If social conservatives actually gave a damn about what they consider to be "immoral promiscuity," then they would welcome gay marriage, because it would impose societal pressure on gay males to settle down and find a mate, much like their straight counterparts are often dragged kicking and screaming into domestic-land.

What's ridiculous is judging all gays by what you think you observed as an attorney for a gay dance bar. Give me a break.

I also think it's shameful to represent the legal interests of a gay business while harboring such animosity and deep-seated hatred toward gays. Those gay businesses were either desperate for representation, or completely fooled by an attorney who pretended to have their best interests in mind.

Really? Your conclusion is based on your experience with a gay bar?

Seriously, the complete and demonstrable lack of deeper analytical skills (or fact checking ability --- example, your 20 year old article that sampled one Canadian city), suggests that you were never actually held accountable during your stint as an "attorney" to have coherent and defensible arguments in court.


From most of the anti-homo joe bubbas and holy rollers on this thread, it is expected that it will take them longer to understand a concept, or to think critically (or for themselves and based on logic). I honestly would expect more from a so-called attorney.
