Maybe that is the sort of thing they are referring to.
Straight people do the same thing. That behavior is not representative of gays as a whole, so why use it as an argument?

Even as a gay person, I too would have found that disturbing, but the guy may have had such an event be his introduction to what gay people 'do' and now thinks it normal or typical. We each develop our sexualities in unique ways, forming them from our experiences and what we're exposed to. If I've learned anything from being gay, it's that none of us has a right to judge. There is no normal, everyone's different.

A few of my friends on Facebook are gay. Truthfully, I know very little about most of them, as most are a "friend of a friend" type. I have browsed the pictures of these individuals and there is most certainly a "gay lifestyle." How many groups of heterosexual men sit in a room ...all with their shirts off...drinking martinis/wine...and performing extreme acts of cuddling and companionship? None would be my answer. But if you're gay, it seems like its almost a requirement. Especially at a party. It's almost like in order to be gay one has to agree to sit on another mans lap if a picture is going to be taken. Or nuzzle up close to another man for a pose. Does gay mean you have to flaunt it with every picture snapped? Is there something inherently wrong with two (gay) men posing in a picture without almost humping each other? And these are just pictures. Who knows what actually goes on with 20 gay men in the room ( I don't want to know).

I suppose one could compare 20 shirtless gay men sipping martinis to a roomful of jersey-wearing heterosexual football fans. But two men high-fiving and two men sitting on each other's laps are two very different lifestyles for sure in my opinion.

I believe there is without a doubt a gay lifestyle based on personal pictures i've seen.

My point is why were Christians singled out.

Maybe it's the thought is that one/some represent all and they were all put in one basket perhaps?
I'm betting that's it.

I've known too many over the years, including my Dad, to know this is so.
Everyone the same? No, but it's there and more widespread than many will admit too.

I have a degree in religion and I'm pretty shy and introverted and stay home a lot watching TV and reading. I keep hearing Christians mention a 'gay lifestyle'. I keep wondering what it is, so that I can learn about it. Being gay is a PART of who I am, like my hair color. It was not chosen. I wish someone would explain to me what they mean by the 'gay lifestyle'. I have never got any specific answers, yet people claim to know what my lifestyle is.
You know exactly what people mean by "gay lifestyle". They are envisioning your sexual life. "Lifestyle" is a euphemism for "OhmyGodIcan'tbelievetheydoTHAT".

people having sex parties, groups of people taking pictures of others cuddling, sitting on laps and drinking all sound like the lifestyle of "young" people out partying. it isn't just gay folks that do this stuff. pictures of a crazy night? straights have pictures like this. these activities have more in common with young single people, straight or gay being sexually adventurous.

Again we have someone categorizing all gays based on a party they saw pictures of depicting gay men in a certain light. Well I guess that must mean all gay men live and act that way....Really? In that case I must think that all straight men must have a problem with erectile dysfunction and need a pill to make it work, since that is all I see on the Boob Tube. And if you ever watch late night television, geez all the straight people are nothing but horn dogs, even during the day there are countless ads for straight dating sites. Is that all that you straights do is flit from one date to another in search of sex and love? Blanketing all gays and lesbians under a narrow minded example is stereotyping us as all the same. I have been to parties with mostly gay men and mostly lesbians and those that were mostly straight. You know what, they were all the same.

OMG seriously? you mean there are gay people who actually live their lives like straight people? there really are gay people who are not promiscuous?

How absurd can you get?

Because you saw something on facebook, there is a gay lifestyle where all gay men sit around half naked drinking wine, and sitting in each others laps...

Sometimes all I can do is shake my head and laugh at the absurdity of some conservative heterosexuals.
