> Is there a gay crime wave? I haven't noticed one.

I can think of two possible, orthogonal answers why that (sort of) fit the hypothesis:

- the key is not 'stable relationships with women' but 'stable sexual relationships';

- many gay men do have stable relationships with women, in the form of strong, non-sexual friendships.

[Edit: I neither support nor reject the hypothesis; I just don't think gay men are necessarily a good control group for it.]


Gay suicide due probably to social pressures. Hopefully gay rights will lessen these problems.

Are you citing suicide as a violent tendency?


Two issues.

First, the point could be: I'm curious if stable relationships with the gender they find attractive really do lead to less violence/crime by males?.

Second, there are significant differences in the brains of heterosexual and homosexual men (one of the points made by those saying it was not a choice). These could mean that the above point only applies to heterosexual men.


Wait, what?

Are you claiming that gay men don't have stable relationships?

Not usually, I guess.

[Sorry for my poor assumption there, thanks for clarifying :)]
