    • Martina Navratilova: Jason Collins' Coming Out 'Will Save Lives' 29 April 2013
      Tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who helped pave the way for Jason Collins' coming out with her own years ago, praised Jason Collins in a Sports Illustrated column today. She says, humbly, that although she had less support and lost endorsements it was easier in a way: When I came out, in 1981, I didn't have much public support and I know I lost […]

      By ARI EZRA WALDMAN The headline, "Boy Scouts Move to Allow Gay Members," read with such promise. Including gays in the Boy Scouts has been a goal of our community for decades, most notably since James Dale challenged the Scouts' discriminatory policies in the 1990s. A sharply divided Supreme Court rejected Mr. Dale's challenge, but more […]

    • North Sea Texas (2011) rating: 9/10 15 April 2013
      This movie has nothing to do with America and Texas. The author and director are Belgian. The movie is set in a Flemish seaside town. A quiet young gay boy with a neglectful single mom finds refuge with a neighbor and her children. Yes, it is a coming of age tale, full of innocent love and love lost. The boy protagonist is nearly silent which makes anything […]
    • Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012) rating: 7/10 17 April 2013
      A professional woman with greater education and a better career can't stay married to a man with no job and no ambition. But darn it, she gets along so well with the guy that they are still best friends. Seems implausible, but the movie spins it into comedy and interesting choices for the woman.Elijah Wood plays the girl's gay sidekick (actually bo […]

      Posted by Alan Green, Software Engineer We have just announced on the Official Google Blog that we will soon retire Google Reader (the actual date is July 1, 2013). We know Reader has a devoted following who will be very sad to see it go. We’re sad too. There are two simple reasons for this: usage of Google Reader has declined, and as a company we’re pouring […]

Why don’t gay guys like women?

Posted by bert5 on 30 June 2008

I noticed this was a search phrase that resulted in a link to one of my posts here.  In response, I post the Human Rights Campaign’s Joe Solmonese response to Stephen Colbert’s question along similar lines: Link

If you don’t have time to go there, a briefer response: that’s the whole point of being gay. One might as well ask why fish swim and birds fly.  Or more to the point, why straight guys are not attracted to men.  Actually, I sometimes ask myself this question — late at night, alone.  Okay, just kidding.  Bogus unrequited love stuff is definitely a waste of time.

But really if one is asking scientifically WHY some guys are gay.  As in gosh it’s so anti-adaptive and seemingly the genes for being gay should exit the gene pool (Actually, you must be a Dane or Swede reading English!!  Americans don’t believe in evolution, even if they’re gay.)   But this is a different question: please go to my post entitled: Gays, Evolution: Population Control.

However, if one is just talking more casually as in, “why gay guys seem to hate or dislike women”, this generally isn’t true.  One shouldn’t misconstrue indifference for hate.  LOL :)   Is there a kind of jealousy factor in the beginning — because women seem to get most of the “great” men?  Maybe.  But in the end it’s not true, I don’t think, though I guess I’m probably biased and/or rationalizing.
