They stand up for themselves and I applaud them. Too many gays are taunted, abused, beaten, etc., and this bunch refuses to be!!! While they can be very sensitive and great people, they just won't bow down to anyone.

Any place else see this?
Keep in mind when I use the term aggression I am talking about degree. The reports that I have read contend that straight men are far more likely to use violent physical aggression than gay men. Evolutionary psychologists contend that one of the fundumental reasons why straight men committ more violent acts than straight women is that straight men have more testosterone than straight women. There are reports that assert straight men and gay men have the same level of testosterone. Thus, it is puzzling why straight men committ substantially more acts of violent, physical agression than their male counterparts. I would expect straight men and gay men to be equally violent according Darwinian belief.
