Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Dammit! You're not supposed to mention that ...

You'd think the ton of lead would have fixed that little problem ...

Do you accept the homosexuality? Do you support the homosexual marriage in the USA? One China woman scholar wrote to the China government to publish law to protect the gay's right and permit the homosexual marriage, but the government rejected her.

40% of Americans support homosexual marriage, 60% are against it. Amongst younger people, however, the figures are 60% support, 40% against. Eventually there will be enough support for it. Until then, it's the subject of much political debate.

There are 30million gays in China by the Chinese officical data. In fact, it maybe more. I guess that only 5% Chinese support the gay marriage. Many Chinese people cannot understand the homosexuality, they think it is abnormal.

First off, I dont answer the door for anybody. This would be especially true for a lispy sounding stranger.

And also, I cut the bear beard and got a haircut.

In that case maybe QEFTSG is doing some good after all. The more people see and understand homosexuality (even the hollywood-tinted camped-up stereotyped version) the more likely they are to accept it as 'normal'.

Billy, I read somewhere that China has the highest percentage of homosexuals in their population, possibly because there are so many more men than women because of the "one child" rule. Do you think that's true?

I don't agree you. China doesn't not the hishest gay rate. It is not because there are too few women to casue this result. If you know more about how gays are growing, you would not give me this question. I give you a example, one my gay friend, he just like guys since he entered the middle school. There were many girls in his class. He cannot control himself to love guys.

Well, they do say that the best offense is a good defense. Shave and a haircut will reduce, but not eliminate the possibility of a visit from the QE guys. Better hit the Armani store as soon as possible.

From my point of view (and I am admittedly *very* liberal in this particular area), marriage of anyone to anyone else is an arrangement of mutual consent which is sanctioned by law. However, current laws are based on the Christian view of marriage, which excludes homosexual unions.

I feel that, if we are to have a legal set of standards applied to marriage as a contractual, consensual agreement, then religious standards should not apply. If you want to get married in the Christian church, do that, and have the government put their seal on it. If some fella wants to smear peanut butter all over himself and marry the guy in the next cubicle under the supervision of an Albanian goatherder while skydiving naked, trailing a string of photos of Bette Davis, then have the government put the stamp on it...what's the difference?

The salient point is the legal advantages of government sanctioned partnership, and gender doesn't enter into it. Depriving consensually united individuals of the rights granted to other consensually united individuals is discrimination, and discrimination based on religion at that.

NO. There are a few Christians in China.
