Are Gay People Promiscuous?

The common belief that gay people are very promiscuous and, therefore, have thousands of lovers in a lifetime is a myth. Although, some are indeed that way, the vast majority experience long-term primary relationships with their lovers. These are faithful to their mates and would have it no other way.

A quick search through an Internet search engine using the keywords "gay couples" will bring up a long list of those who have posted personal web sites about their relationships. It is interesting to note that gay men are much more apt to declare themselves publically as compared to their female counterparts. There are at least five male sites for every one that is female.

It is also interesting to note the ongoing issues that these sites present. Many of them discuss the disatisfaction in the gay community in regard to our government's refusal to legalize same-sex marriages. Others are working very hard to gather information on couples who have been together for long periods of time. The need to show that gay relationships represent more than the obvious sexual implications is the predominant theme of these sites.

Our take on the subject of whether or not committed gay couples are the majority doesn't really matter. It is enough to know that there are, in fact, gay people who do believe in loyal monogomous relationships. If nothing else, it is obvious that the homosexual community's ever evil threat of contracting HIV makes such relationships all the more attractive.
