Yup and more often. How many more times do men+ women engage in anal and oral sex?

No, I'm indifferent. I can live with homosexuals. But I do think that homogeneous societies governed by polycentric law would go a long way to restoring some civil harmony.

I don't agree with homosexuality, as a lifestyle.

You must.

Again, where does "treatment" come in?
There is no such thing as a "homosexual lifestyle". Gays in general are no different then straights with the one exception of who they are attracted to. Same average number of partners, they put their pants on the same way, they go to work, school, take a shower, visit their grandmother, spend the holidays with family, go to the movies, dinner, watch tv, etc. etc.

Stop listening to the stereotypes the media likes to push.

They never get it. They can't DEFINE what the "homosexual lifestyle" is, either.


Is it just sex? As if gays who marry and settle down and have kids are living a "heterosexual lifestyle".... and straight people who... I don't know, go to clubs and parades and have sex are living the "homosexual lifestyle?"

Doesn't make sense.

Polycentric laws in homogenous societies are usually not necessary.

Then why did you make an argument FOR those who would be uncomfortable with gays, instead of opposing?

HIV and AIDS in Nigeria

Sub-Saharan Africa HIV & AIDS Statistics

The remainder of your post is not worth responding too!
1. I'm not Nigerian.

2. It would make sense that Nigeria would have a high total number of cases given that it is the most populous country in Africa. However the prevalence rate of HIV is much lower than that in South Africa.

3. Why do you think I should be worried about HIV? I'm a married woman.

It is no surprise that Africa will remain the dark continent for a long time to come.

LMAO, earlier today I opened a couple of negative gay threads and one touched on Nigeria and their gays laws....

Almost all gay responders to my thread said they didn't care what happens to gays in Nigeria or in the rest of the world....

They were only concerned with "bigots in America"

Seems like you are alone in your feelings...

you of course over simplify what was posted.

Many of the posters (gay and STRAIGHT) could have cared less, but many expressed that they would do something if they could, but seeing as Nigeria is not a country that we live in or can make any changes to, the consensous is to worry about what is wrong with our country first.

he isn't alone as evidenced in the threads you started and participated in.

however your trolling has been very transparent.
