Originally posted by CliffLandinThat's not true if you are a guy. I have a cousin who is a lesbian and she told me she frequents the gay bars to find other women. The guys and gals aren't interested in the opposite sex at gay bars.
I've been to plenty of gay bars. They are the best places to find find women, just gotta be careful to not get the one with the surprise in her/his pants.

What constitutes "real" experience? Have you gone cruising gay bars before with homosexual friends on the prowl?
It's a bit natural to think that the gay community does (in average) more drugs than straight people. After all, gay people have (apart from cognitive dissonant ones) already breached with conservative mindsets.
Between non-conservative straights and gays I don't see much of a difference myself, but that proves absolutely nothing.

Originally posted by PalynkaWe have definitely not met the same people. I know people who are gay who are also staunch Republicans and quite conservative. Whom they fall in love with has nothing to do with that. I think the settings in which you meet people must be what colors your (and my) opinions. I don't go to bars, gay or otherwise, and so I have no experience of gay people using drugs in higher numbers than straight people and asexual people. I do have experiences of GLBT people at a semi-monthly Catholic Mass primarily for GLBT people and their friends, as well as other venues. So no, it's only "a bit natural" for you perhaps.

Originally posted by reader1107I do frequent gay bars and discos and I have experience with gay and straight people using drugs (including myself). I also have experience with conservative mindsets through my family and professional relationships which have developed beyond the workplace.

So yes, I do have experiences of gay and straight people in both environments, as opposed to you who seems to have contact only with cognitive dissonant ones.
Overall, neither your experiences nor mine mean anything as they're both a fraction of the whole. But obviously anyone with a little self-criticism and intellectual coherence cannot be a conservative and defend (and be part of) a societal change at the same time. By the definition of conservative (which is not the same as Republican).
