New Study on Down Lows - Weird Numbers
From the Advocate:
These are very weird numbers, or the article, being in a pro-homo publication, lacks important information. Are these 328 men of some particular demographic subgroup? Are they implying that if we generally take any 10 black men, 4 of them have sex with other men? 4 out of ten? almost half?! Sounds odd and off. And what about the 26% Latino down-lows? 26% is a lot of people.
And since I don't know much about down-lows, what I haven't seen anyone explain is what is it with black men that they are so emotionally diseased compared to other groups that they have to have secret sex with other men? Why do they do it in much higher numbers than other ethnicities?
Oh, and why don't the detestable homo scientists spend millions of your taxpayer dollars to discover a down-low gene? It's discriminatory to look just for a moronic gay gene.

The media has reported extensively during the past two years on the so-called down low phenomenon, in which African-American men who do not identify as being gay and who have sexual relationships with women also secretly have sex with men. But a study presented this week at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2005 National HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta shows that the practice is common among all races.
Researchers surveyed 328 men in 12 cities who have sex with men and found that 43% of African-American men, 26% of Latino men, and 7% of white men reported having sex with both men and women but did not tell their female sex partners that they had sex with men. Only one third of all the men said they considered themselves to be gay, and 13% had a steady girlfriend or wife.
