Oh, and thanks for the welcome, gay Spanish republican.
Leave out gay because that isn't a factor in my life... I been girlfriendless for six months now and that will probably be a fact for a long time.
If you are so willing to attack me then I see what you had to come to in your argument... personal attacks. You have no other way to defend yourself and that is understandable. I was in the same position some time ago about this same issue. Some of the things I said would make you look like Bill Clinton. But I am no longer that way, and am for the most part pretty much straight but don't start up that again.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
By the way, it's incredibly interesting to see how every heated discussion degenerates into a flame war.
Well, if someone began a thread that said "Why are [insert a group you belong to here] 'wrong,'" It's invariably going to stir up a lot of trouble. The odd thing is that the gays will likely be accused again obsessing over their sexuality on this thread, when we didn't even begin it.
As for your situation, that is really not an issue of him being gay or straight. Some men (and women) are just very open about their sexual desires. I see straight men engaging in obnoxious behavior all the time, whether it be men whistling and catcalling at women on the street, or boasting with lewd stories of their sexual conquests while boozing it up in bars. And I see plenty of sluttily-dressed women in outfits that leave nothing much to the imagination, and men fawning over them and encouraging it.
It's not about being straight or gay. It's just about having some poor judgment in appropriate conversation. When I'm out with my straight friends, they'll often point at a guy and be like "hey, is he hot?" It's kind of a game to see if they can tell which men are hot. I certainly don't clue them in on the details of my sexual encounters or desires.
The bottom line is that we can all come up with examples of bad behavior on both sides. To start making generalizations about the group based on isolated incidents is bad judgment--it's prejudice. Are gay men more sex-obsessed than straight men? No (I don't think it would be possible). And they're not less, either. Men will be men.
Let's just put aside the double-standard that allows straight men to ogle over women as much while condemning gays for doing the same towards men they find attractive.

In my book, calling somebody a "doody-head," a "booger-face," or their equivalent does not constitute a flame; a flame requires some degree of competence to deliver, as should be obvious to anybody who isn't a poopy dog butt ugly.

While I am tolerant of gays I truly believe that "group insertion" is wrong, regardless of the gender or gender orientation of either the insertors or the insertee. Even if an individual asked for the "group insertion" it would still certainly be anatomically harmful. Thus, only a mentally ill person could possibly ask for a "group insertion" and can not legitimately consent to the act. This makes "group insertion" by its very nature a criminal act which should be vigorously persecuted where ever such acts are performed.
