Looks like we need to know a whole lot more about this study to interpret it. What is a "relationship?" What is the AVERAGE length of a heterosexual "relationship?" Obviously, it's not the same as for heterosexual marriage. Does this mean that the guy who has been married for four and a half years, but had three six-month "relationships" in high school has an average relationship of 1.5 years? What about the guy who has been married for ten years, but has a one-night stand? Is his average five years and a few hours?

Surely you're not suggesting that statistics like this could be used to mislead or to distort the truth??? Why, I would be shocked... shocked I tell ya.

Just out of curiosity, do you know any gays? Because I do and this study is right on the mark. I live in SF btw. Gays (and I don't know if you are one) are not monogamous and have short "relationships". In addition, I have yet to meet one that wasn't a Democrat.

And how long does the average heterosexual "relationship" last?

You know the classical significance of Ganymede? He was some kind of sodomite - I can't remember the myth. Maybe watch out for this guy... I don't trust this one.

[We]'re not promiscuous, but the reason we are promiscuous is because we don't have marriage rights.

WE?

I know two gay couples who are married (by their own minister). One couple has been married 15 years and the other four. Now what was the point of asking people if they know any gay couples and what does it prove, nothing, the same as the "scientific" study.

I suspect that most people - even including most conservatives - feel the same.

You suspect wrong. The Federal Marriage Amendment – H.J. Res. 56 is alive and well. Assuming the 58% of americans finding the chosen behavior immoral and wrong are NO votes I'd say there's more who are neutral who'd vote no too. Funny perspective though.

You know two perverts pretending to play house, neither the Bible nor the state recognizes either.

One couple has been married 15 years

And the incestuals “married” by their own “minister” and monogamously together for 15 years proves the same inane point, if one can compare perversion to a normal man/woman relationship then one can use the same logic to justify other perversions.

I'm sure Exodus plays a major part in it. I have a number of links from where homosexuals can get help to leave the lifestyle:

Gee I guess their minister must have forgot to ask you what to do.

Your answer has nothing to do with the context inwhich I addressed the other poster who was looking for proof of long-term relationships. Go off on a tangent all you want. Your slamming homos is getting old and tiring. Play with your fellow fanatics who want to impose your views on the rest of the populace.

Why not start a thread on incest and get your problems spelled out once and for all. You may know some relatives who found a minister to marry them, I don't. So create your own scenarios and argue with yourself.

You have created an idiotic situation, answer your own questions. You failed to clarify and answer my questions and then you keep repeating the same question from thread to thread after I responded. I consider that stalking and it's clearly a violation of the rules.

Response to your 23, your knowledge of gay couples and my knowledge of gay couples counter each other. So what, proves nothing, just like this really, really scientific study. You could have deduced this by starting with your challenge to the other guy which is the post I replied to. Now as I told the other guy........................yawn! C-YA
