OK, I understand and that's cool. We fight the same fight.
I was going to use your comment to make a point.
I think it can be argued that previous lack of social acceptance and the harassing of gay people by police made it difficult for them to build social communities, in which you could find long-term partners. As I understand the social data, fifty years ago, very few gay males lived together in long term relationships because it was difficult to stay under the social and legal radar.
Also, the social mores were against them. An opposite sex attracted boy could (at that time) talk openly at school (even family), a gay boy would not have been able to do that.
A straight boy may have a few fumbles with a girl. Unlikely a gay boy would have done that.
For the gay boy, it was more likely that his first sexual experience would have been a furtive one at some gay beat, always in fear of the police. After a few years of that experience the hunt for sexual partners would have been ingrained.
To sum it. The straight kid grows up in a society that expects that he will one day find sex, and hopefully love. The gay kid doesnt. Little wonder they now want their relationships valued.
