Lol trying to pick up and use the angry card I already played.
You're the one with the long winded rants here bro. Why the anger towards gays? Covering up?
Hey, DisAsTerBot, how do you feel about a little bot on bot booty action? Your avi greases my gears
I almost got raped when I was 13 by one when I was in summer camp. He slipped some seroquel in a drink of mine. He bought us beer and brought some weed too. Luckily my friend caught him before he slipped off my underwear. I was passed out. The guy is currently a convicted sex offender. I only thing I remember him kissing me and I'm pulling him away but my homeboy caught him cause he walked in and caught him then called the cops. The dude was a so called friend of the family. My dad wanted to kill him. Once you have like that almost happened to you, you tend to hate people who have and celebrate that disorder.
Your anger is misplaced. You probably should see a psychiatrist or something for that.
so now the logic is that all pedos are gay? or all gays are pedos? Your defensiveness makes more sense now
Oh well to explain it better, gays are all rapists too.
Drug addiction, divorce, cheating, suicide, alcoholism far more prevalent in the gay world.
You have first hand experience or are you just making up as usual?
personal experience imo
Higher Risk of Mental Health Problems for sexuals
By Jane Collingwood
~ 3 min read
sexual people tend to experience more mental health problems than heterosexual people, research indicates. Discrimination may contribute to the higher risk, believes lead researcher Dr. Apu Chakraborty of University College London, UK.
His team looked at rates of mental disorder among 7,403 adults living in the UK, whose details were obtained from the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey 2007. Rates of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobia, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and alcohol and drug dependence were significantly higher in sexual respondents.
Four percent had a depressive episode in the last week, compared to two percent of heterosexual people. The rate of alcohol dependence was ten percent versus five percent, and for self-harming it was nine percent versus five percent.
The proportion of sexual people who described themselves as being fairly or very happy was 30 percent, versus 40 percent for heterosexual people.
Dr. Chakraborty believes the findings are “very worrying.” He said, “This study is the first time the mental health and well-being of gay, lesbian and bisexual people has been examined in a random sample of the population.
“Our study confirms earlier work carried out in the UK, USA and Holland which suggests that non-heterosexual people are at higher risk of mental disorder, suicidal ideation, substance misuse and self-harm than heterosexual people.”
How suicide is a particular problem for gay men.
The full scale of suicide among the gay and lesbian population is only beginning to emerge. Most attention is currently focused, rightly, on the number of young gay men who commit suicide because of their sexuality, but evidence is also slowly emerging that there may also be related issues for older gay men.
The Stonewall 2012 Survey discovered that 3% of gay men and 5% of bisexual men had attempted to take their own life, compared to only 0.4% of men in general. In the 16- to 24-year-old age group, 6% of gay and bisexual men had attempted to take their own life compared to less than 1% of men in general.
There are similar findings for self-harming. 7% of gay and bisexual men had deliberately harmed themselves compared to only 3% of men in general, and in the 16- to 24-year-old age group, 15% of gay and bisexual men had harmed themselves compared to 7% of men in general.

Rookies.
how much of their mental health problems comes from being discriminated against and ridiculed all their lives?
More than a third of gay, lesbian and bisexual people took at least one illegal drug in the last month, according to the largest study of its kind. Whether drug use is a psychological crutch, a way of integrating into the "scene" or perhaps both, that figure compares to 5 per cent of the wider population who admitted using a drug in the last month in the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW).
Campaigners yesterday described the findings as a "wake-up call", while specialists warned that gay people risk being "excluded" from traditional drug treatment services. The report, conducted by the Lesbian and Gay Foundation (LGF) and the University of Central Lancashire, who sampled more than 4,000 people over two years, warns that there is "significant problematic substance use among lesbian, gay and bisexual people" and a risk of "substantial hidden harm".
The most widely used substances among those surveyed were party drugs such as cannabis and poppers, followed by powder cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine and amphetamines. They were 10 times more likely to have used cocaine in the last month than the wider population, and 13 times more likely to have used ketamine. Heroin use was comparable among both populations, but the use of crack cocaine was again higher among the gay community.
What happened to...
What did I say? What do the facts tell us? Facts I was well aware of.
So you were laughing about what?
where did you get the divorce/cheating stats?What happened to...
You amaze me. Are you ever going to figure it out? When I get into anything I do my homework, will you ever figure that out?
As we just saw you are totally clueless about all of this as usual. I don't just make stuff up guy, ok?
This tme it's on you to do what I do, which is take some time and learn about what you are talking about.
Prove me wrong.
I'm wondering how divorce is so rampant among gays when they've barely been able to marry each other
You slid cheating, divorce in there. Prove that's true.
sexuals cheat more than HeterosexualsYes.... in fact they do:
Few "gay" relationships last longer than two years, with many sexual men reporting hundreds of lifetime partners. Source: Pollack, M. " Male sexuality," in Western Sexuality: Practice and Precept in Past and Present Times, ed. P. Aries and A.Bejin, pp. 40-61, cited by Joseph Nicolosi in Reparative Therapy of Male sexuality (Northvale, N.J., Jason Aronsons Inc., 1991), pp.124-25.
50% of sexual men over the age of 30, and 75% of sexual men over the age of forty, experienced no relationships that lasted more than one year. Source: M. T. Saghir and E. Robins, Male and Female sexuality: A Comprehensive Investigation (Baltimore: Williams Wilkins, 1973), pp. 56-57.
So the conclusion here is that if society were to treat gays like normal members of society, the drug abuse, etc numbers would most likely go down to numbers that coincide with general population parameters.Gay and transgender people report higher rates of substance use than others due to three main factors.
First, many gay and transgender people live with a high level of stress that comes from social prejudice and discriminatory laws in areas of daily life such as employment, relationship recognition, and health care.
Second, a lack of cultural competency in the health care system discourages gay and transgender people from seeking treatment for substance abuse, and—if they do seek help—often leads to inappropriate or irrelevant services.
Finally, targeted marketing efforts by alcohol and tobacco companies exploit the con- nection many gay and transgender people have to bars and clubs as safe spaces for socializing and increase easy access to tobacco products and alcohol. Below, we look at each of these factors in turn.

Makes perfect sense, imo.
Whoa, 1991 and 1973. Did you dig these up out of your almanac stack?
