    No you're not a homophobe, all the members of the LGBT community need to realize that drug abuse, STD, and domestic abuse (to a slightly lesser extent) are rampant within the community, especially among gay males. I must say I partially blame the nature of the male sex for their reckless pursuit of pleasure.

    We can argue back and forth about the heterosexual community in general is also facing the same problems, but statistics doesn't lie, our community on shaky grounds. One of the problems sources is because the Gay and Lesbian community (like other minorities) has been neglected by the legal community in whole or in part. But on the other side as a part of the gay community, we need be pro-active. hold ourselves to a higher standard and educate others within the community to be more responsible.

    I would say you have chosen specific studies and evidence to support your own views
    Hater? Not necessarily

    Narrow-minded? Sure

    Yes, drugs can be a problem with guys like me, but its mostly an escape, from bigots, and hate.
    STDs are on the rise with everyone, mostly because of a severe lack of sex ed.
    And domestic abuse is a problem with ALL couples, regardless of gender. Someone very close to me was raped by his boyfriend, but I've also had straight friends abused by their partners.

    I knew all of this before you wrote it.

    Whats your point - if there is one.

    Oh - that the gay community is being ignored because of this health epidemic... well d'uh.

    Spouting it here makes no difference - if you want to create change go and volunteer at a LGBT healt or outreach centre - its good for the soul.
