Think Harry Potter for adults.

There's a lot of that going around, then. Have you seen "The Librarians?" I actually enjoy it, despite the nonsense fantasy premises. Past that, it's all rather self-consistent, at least in each episode, and there is a mini-arc per season involving a central villain. Some of the "magic" gets updated to the present day. Dorian Gray was using millions of photos online to create a composite electronic picture.

He said yes there are some rapes but overall the relationships are consensual

I believe this.

I have a couple gay friends who served a couple tours in the Middle East during the "Don't ask, don't tell" days.

They got A LOT of action over there with their fellow straight servicemen. When they're that far away from home, the motto for a lot of the straight military guys becomes "a hole is a hole and a mouth is a mouth."

And this is why gays were banned in the military for so many years.

Because the straight guys enjoyed having sex with them too much?

From STDs to a few guys getting possessive over the gay guy punking himself to the unit it is all bad news. I get if one's mind is just on enjoying gay sex they might not get this. When you learn to think on a level higher than that though it is easy to see.

Actually a lot of gays still stay in the closet due to this false stereotype from haters

Nothing false about it. Gays have more STDs and STDs transfer more readily via deviant sex. And guys getting possessive over punks happens, read some prison stories. Same thing can happen with a woman slutting around a group of guys.

Of course I expect your retort to be either "no, it isn't" or telling me that kind of thing happening is not "true gays" and how they act so I will go about my day now.

"Deviant sex." LOL

I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of gays have a way, way healthier and more fulfilling sex life than AZDuffman does.

With the widespread use of Truvada as PrEP, the whole STD/HIV stigma is changing too (but AZDuffman obviously wouldn't know this. Alt-right news sites wouldn't mention that).

Don't know and don't really care. I do not cruise bath houses or engage in other risky behaviors. The fact that there has to be some kind of med like this shows the danger that is really there. Methadone does not make heroin any safe, either. Bad choices are bad choices.

Shocking.

Not so shocking.

Yes, the fact that penicillin has to exist shows that straight college students should stop having sex and contracting chlamydia.

Sounds like jealousy to me.
