I look forward to it. My data came straight from Kinsey- 37% of males reported having homosexual experiences that led to orgasm. They didn't even figure out how many had homosexual experiences that didn't lead to orgasm. Now I grant you a lot of those guys might say they feel "repugnance" in a social setting, but the sex data out there says their desires and willingness to experiment tell a different story.

I think many people are curious about sex, even if they feel they can only be secretly curious, and few people are slammed right up against the fully heterosexual wall- most people are on the continuum, and if they really felt repugnance about homosexual sex, they'd have to feel some about themselves, and men would have to stop renting all those hardcore lesbian video tapes. Obviously some people will feel repugnance for some things, and some people will feel repugnance for lots of things (even hetero things), however the repugnant people often are more vocal, because people in this country are shy about sex.

I look forward to seeing some data, if you can find any.

my point had to do with gay practices, not gays themselves.

You're right to make the distinction. Nature and behavior are separate things. Those who like to muddy waters because with muddy water it's hard to see clearly like to mix them up. But those who like clear thinking like to keep things that are separate separate.
