Using your supposed Seattle figure to represent the entire country is unusual. I don't know anyone from Seattle who will admit that Seattle is typical of the country in any way at all. :-) A fact for which we are probably *both* grateful. :-) Our gay and lesbian populations are higher in the more progressive cities on the W Coast because our greater tolerance for diversity inspires many of them to move out here. There are probably some towns in the midwest and the south where there are no (surviving) homosexuals. (OK, it's probably not really as bad as that sentence suggested) Hey! We enjoyed some Seattle weather July 4th weekend in Virginia Beach. Reasonably cool (well for short periods), clouded over, rainy, a little fog. I kept look for the Gould tug... Well...it looked like Seattle weather...but the water temp was nearly 80F. |

80 degreee water?! Good grief. The *air* seldom gets that hot in any "proper" climate. :-) |

I wonder if the fine citizens of 'Key West' or 'South Beach' know about Dr. No and his phobias? |

"Harry Krause" wrote in message ... John Gaquin wrote: "Harry Krause" wrote in message I still cannot figure out why the Fundie Repugs believe "same-sex marriage" is a threat to heterosexual marriage. You can figure it out, Harry -- you just claim you can't. Perceived threat to any individual heterosexual marriage is not the main issue. The issue seems to be what you might call the fabric of society. In one or two Scandinavian countries (can't recall which, and don't have the data in front of me) which have legalized and accepted homosexual marriage for 2 or 3 decades, the incidence of marriage in general has dropped precipitously. Some 60% of first births are now to single women. So? Are you saying the drop in marriage results from allowing gay marriage? If that is the case, perhaps gay marriage isn't deviant, eh? Homosexual marriage is deviant and abnormal. About 50% of the marriages in this country end in divorce, and I suspect a high percentages of those divorces result in single parent families. The divorce rate reaching 50% is due to the preceeding idiotic idea of no fault divorces. The question is why a society of some 300 million people should redefine an entire societal structure in order to accommodate the sensibilities of 3% of that population. It's a thorny issue, and I vacillate myself. I don't see it as redefinition as much as inclusion. If they want to be included they can join in with the majority of society's norms. |

"jps" wrote in message ... There's a boy in our neighborhood who came out that way. I've known him since he was born. He didn't lick anything up off the floor or get indoctrinated by the television or radio and share his environment with a large and extended family that has no other gay people. He's 6 and so obviously gay it's ridiculous. He's 6? How the hell do you figure he's "gay" at age 6? Do you mean to say he's "effeminate". That's a far cry from being a homosexual. Perhaps once he hits puberty, his hormone levels will make him more masculine and his start liking girls. If not, his doctor can supplement with meds. That's Mother Nature at work, not "lifestyle *choice*." Bull****. If he's effeminate, then that's Mother Nature. If he ends up liking other men, then that's a lifestyle *choice*. The other good one I hear from the right on this issue is the AIDS argument. "Gays spread AIDS and other diseases, and if we allow them to marry our health care costs will go through the roof." What a crock. Gays *do* spread AIDs and other sexually transmitted diseases at a much higher rate *proportionately* than heterosexuals. Letting them marry won't raise the rate of AIDS...unless more kids grow up to be gay because their "parents" were gay. You silly dweeb. If you're in a legally committed relationship, you're far less likely to stray and spread, no? Yup. Those in the relationship are less likely to spread diseases. But if you raise kids in a gay household, I'd venture to say that it's more likely the kids will be gay. When those kids grow up, there's a high likelihood that they'll have more sexual partners on average than heterosexuals...and statistically, homosexual sex spreads more STD's (and AIDS) than heterosexual sex. |

"Don White" wrote in message ... I wonder if the fine citizens of 'Key West' or 'South Beach' know about Dr. No and his phobias? I won't go to South Beach anymore. I've driven there a couple of times during the day when I was in Miami or Key Biscayne...but mostly to drive down the strip looking at the women in g-strings. I once had to get out to use the public restroom by the beach. Big mistake. I walked in, and there were 9 guys in there, two of whom were kissing. There was **** on the floor, glory holes in the dividers, and "call 555-5555 for a BJ" on the walls. I walked right out, and and crossed the street to use the restroom in the Irish Pub across the street. I decided I'd never visit South Beach again. I've only been to Key West once...as a stopover on a cruise ship. I really don't go to even the northern keys much because my kids are too young to enjoy it. I'm sure I'll take my boat down to Galleon when the kids get a little older. From there, I'll hop over to the Tortugas for some fishing. Personally, I'm pretty darn happy in Southwest Florida. Most of the people here are from the Midwest, and have Midwestern conservative values...rather than the NY/NJ liberal attitude that's prevalent on the East Coast of Florida. We do have a large number of people from Massachusetts, however. |
