Ron, I don't get it.

Okay, what does that have to do with homosexuality being OK or not OK?

I'd like to see some documentation on the above; quite frankly, I don't
believe it.  Are there any non-gay groups that have done statistical 
studies on the above?  Incidentally, gay friends of mine (male) have told
me that they are actually physically unable to respond to women; is that
true for the gay population as a whole?  If it's true for even part of it,
a definite link is established.

Again, what does homosexuality not being shunned in most instances have to
do with it being OK or not OK?

Is that the fault of "morality"?

p.s.	Please note: to keep my mailbox small, the phrase "OK or not OK"
	was used in an *extremely* general sense.  Thank you, and good night.
