Not a lot of those around, E. The promiscuity rate is very high.

Yes, it is, as a generality. That's irrelevant to the issue at hand, though it might suggest an argument for marriage, not against it. In general, married people are less promiscuous than unmarried ones.

I'd wager that after the age of, say, 30, lesbian promiscuity is less than heterosexual male promiscuity. Maybe before the age fo 30, too. (Unmarried males are generally as promiscuous as they get a chance to be.)

Would that lead you to the conclusion that lesbians should be able to marry?

Of course not. Because it's irrelevant.

There are enough long term, devoted gay couples around that we have three couples of them as good friends. Well, two couples and one widower. When they can get married, you'll find out that there are more out there than you know.

LB, I get the impression that your responses to telling posts is rather commonly not to reply to the specific points raised, but to post in a bantering style.
