re are americans sexually repressed in article apr a cs okstate edu kennejs a cs okstate edu kennedy james scot writes recent studies have shown that the number of men who have engaged in homosexual activities in the last decade is and the number of men who are exclusively homosexual is these figures are much less than those that came from earlier studies that showed that homosexuality among men is a lot higher so what can we deduce from these figures are there a lot less male homosexuals than there used to be or are men perhaps women too not as honest as they used to be about there sexuality presumably the people that were polled in you mean in the s men and women were much more open about their homosexuality than today want to try that one again this survey were assured of their anonymnity so they should have answered the questions honestly i suppose however it could be that gays feel so repressed and denigrated by society that they didn t feel that they could be forthcoming about there sexuality in something like a survey if this true then is it possible that there is a lot more gays out there than we are led to believe perhaps if americans were more open about there sexuality i think most americans aren t then we might discover that there are really quite a few more people out there who are orientated toward the same sex men and women included i d venture a guess that there is a lot of people out there who have considered having a relationship with someone of the same sex at some point in there life maybe they didn t take their longings seriously but this doesn t make these longings any less valid therefore if americans weren t so repressed about their sexuality in general as i believe they may be then we d see a lot more people coming out of the closet you mean ignore study after study so that we can continue to accept a study kinsey s that is obviously wrong as for myself i m a heterosexual and i ve never considered having sex with another man that s just the way i am i could have just as easily of been gay i suppose one of the big debates about homosexuality is whether or not it s a type of behavior that is learned or if one is just born that way imho the more likely explanation is that it s some combination of the two based on what besides your own warm fuzzy feelings here s something to ponder upon have any of you gay bashers out there ever considered that homosexuals probably deem their sexual orientation as being a state of affairs that is just as much an intrinsic and natural part of their life as heterosexuals do about their own sexuality in other words someone who is truly alcoholics share that feeling until they hit bottom gay may not be able to live any other way even if they date someone of the opposite sex or get married in their heart they are still a homosexual likewise if someone who is truly heterosexual forms a relationship with someone of the same sex then they are still a heterosexual even though outward appearances may suggest otherwise scott kennedy brewer and patriot unless of course the problem is that homosexuality is a form of mental disorder caused by childhood sexual abuse as a number of recent works suggest if homosexuals would stop using the government to impose their morality on others antidiscrimination laws and leave our children alone i wouldn t care in the least what they did in private but until they get over the liberal notion that the proper role of government is to tell peaceful people how to live i have no choice but to continue to point out that homosexuality is not an alternative lifestyle but a sickness before david koresh is a cheap thug who interprets the bible through the barrel of a gun atf spokesman after the atf is a cheap thug who interprets the constitution through the barrel of a gun me good signature clayton e cramer uunet pyramid optilink cramer my opinions all mine relations between people to be by mutual consent or not at all
