I'm going to agree with AquaticAmbi here, too. Not necessarily about these sppoky flashbacks, but about her sarcasm concerning heterosexual couples. As for having multiple partners and an increase in Aids among the Gay male population, I have this to say: Pshaw.
It doesn't really matter how many partners gay men have if heterosexual women are still the largest and fastest growing aids carriers. It seems to imply that gay men are MORE careful than hetero men (and women).
Besides, society isn't exactly suited for monagamy anyway. Love is biologically programmed to last (at most) about two years. And what with both men and women being urged to have career jobs (which usually require, at some point, that you relocate in order to get promoted) it becomes difficult for a family to move as one. This promotes divorces, open marriages, and secret liasons or affairs. None of this puts one in mind of a blissfully monagamous and never-ending relationship free of the risk of STDs. We aren't built for it. So the use of condoms becomes a primary concern. But on the other hand, I think its ridiculous that a thread asking about whether you have gay friends or not HAD to include a discussion on STDS. As if the two were somehow related. Check this: They are not any more related than straight sex and STDs.
And that quip about the church just furthers the idea that the fundamentalists are ill-equipped to deal with modern-day life. I'm sure the church is VERY concerned about the health of the worlds gay people. Priority number one on the "they shouldn't get married" list.
