It's a joke. As other people have commented as well, put this side by side to a straight 'study'.<BR/><BR/>Also in the section about substance abuse - compare that to the straight population here in Oregon. It'd be awfully frightening when you got those results back - I have a damn good feeling heterosexuals would kick our a$$ and far surpass us.Gavin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01226876468819538640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1119285963745620602005-06-20T09:46:00.000-07:002005-06-20T09:46:00.000-07:00I went to that event last Saturday, I am not gay, ...I went to that event last Saturday, I am not gay, not that that matters, but I have some friends who are and they asked me if I would like to tag a long. I was curious and had nothing else exciting to do, so I went.<BR/><BR/>I only saw a very small percentage of the people there that were dressed in leather and other stereotypical gay garb. The majority were dressed the same as you and I would be.<BR/><BR/>Overall, it was a very pleasant and clean atmosphere. As a precaution and for the safety of all, there was security to take care of people that were rowdy (both gay and straight), and during the time that I was there, if anything happened, I didn't see it.<BR/><BR/>The show was well organized and the march was peaceful. No instances occurred that I'm aware of.<BR/><BR/>I was very surprised of the numerous vendors that had booths there, everything from major corporations to the Portland Police Department..<BR/><BR/>So whether you agree with the gay lifestyle or not is unimportant, in my opinion, the event last Saturday was pleasant, well-organized and the food was good. By the way, I only saw one woman not wearing a top, and to my understanding that is not illegal in the city of Portland.roomRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265769147425611176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1119250653164697072005-06-19T23:57:00.000-07:002005-06-19T23:57:00.000-07:00Daniel,The problem with your use of statistics in ...Daniel,<BR/>The problem with your use of statistics in this post is that they should be juxtaposed to similar survey data for heterosexuals. <BR/><BR/>For example, if a survey had been conducted of straight men in Shoreland (btw, where is Shoreland?) that showed that only 10% of such men had 60 or more sexual partners, then the 42.9% figure would hold some meaning. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, you don't include any stats on heterosexuals, so these figures -- which look high -- may actually be comparable or even low.The Rambling Taoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730292897416827840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1119249070912928372005-06-19T23:31:00.000-07:002005-06-19T23:31:00.000-07:00TVC just compiled a list of various surveys.
