Oded, chill out!  I enjoyed your posting, and your defense of Ron (whom
I also know & for whom can vouch for the innocence of his original
statement), but the above shows a real lack of comprehension of the gay
experience.

Like the stereotype of yahoos as rude, lazy, gun-toting people who
vote pro-life or not at all, the above also marginalizes a group of people
who for the most part don't fit the stereotype *at all*.  Look at your
assumptions:  (a) all gay men are out to 'score'; (b) gay people are men;
(c) gay people have no life; and (d) gay people are unattached and probably
stay that way for life.

Passing remarks like the above is far more egregious than the somewhat
tongue-in-cheek posting I made on this thread earlier today.
