Fischer: 'Poppers' and Promiscuity Cause AIDS - Don't let the headline fool you. Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association is saying that gay men have thousands of sexual partners. He claims that we admit this "in our own literature," but of course he doesn't say which literature. Now before you get angry - and you should - we should look at Fischer's claim scientifically. Now according to people like him, we are only one to three percent of the population. But yet also according to people like Fischer, we have thousands of sexual partners. Now there are only 365 days in a year which means that according to Fischer, a gay men has sex over three times a day with a different partner. It leaves me to ask the question where in the heck do we find the time to "indoctrinate children," "imprison Christians," and plot the general downfall of America? Answer - Bryan Fischer needs Jesus.

If I'm doing the math right, in part 21 of his essay "Street Talk / Straight Talk", Samuel R. Delany has had more than 2500 sexual partners since 1978, though that's primarily for oral sex (one of his points in this essay is his belief that oral sex does not spread HIV). And if one thinks a novel like Delany's Hogg is representative of normal gay life, I suppose one might think 3 partners a day is typical.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'd grant Fischer that there are examples (or at least an example) in GLBT literature of gay men who have had thousands of partners, but the conclusions he draws from these unusual cases are obviously still utter nonsense. (And obviously the claim of a 96% rate of popper usage is ridiculous).
If every gay man - or even half of then - had as many different partners as he claims, wouldn't there have to be a LOT more gay men in the world? I'm too lazy to do the math, but I don't think 3% of the population (and that would be assuming all homosexuals are men, which, of course, they aren't) would cover it, would it?
