Are Gay Men More Accepting of Sex for Pay Than Straights? Huffington Post Says Yes

[William769]

TheHuffington Post and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation are having a public disagreement about gay men's attitude toward "sugar daddies" as a solution for paying college bills.

Is the cost of higher education so punishing these days that some gay men are offering sex to daddies who can pay for tuition? TheHuffington Post reports that not only is that sad story line happening but also that this sort of sex-for-something deal is more accepted among gay people than straight. GLAAD disagrees vehemently, saying that notion is merely a stereotype being furthered by bad reporting.

In a news release calling for an apology, GLAAD complained that the story is "riddled with stereotypes that the author presents as facts."

After interviewing almost a dozen anonymous men who are selling sex for tuition, reporter Amanda Fairbanks came to a conclusion that strikes to the core of GLAAD's disappointment.

1. a whole dozen in her survey ?

I'll pick ""bad reporting" Alex.
(I support prostitution)

[laconicsax]

4. Almost a whole dozen.

Which could really be any number between 6 and 12.

[joeybee12]

8. Exactly...this is really really pathetic reporting...nt

[RetiredTrotskyite]

2. If People Want to Be Prostitutes...

that is between them and any god in which they may believe. I don't have huge issues with it as long as both parties are clear on it, but I suspect it is more bad stereotype than anything else.

3. Thats exactly how I feel.

5. By Satan's ball hairs! What the fuck has happened to real reporting and investigating?!

She interviewed "almost a dozen anonymous men" and that was the basis for her conclusion?! Some people are so stupid.

As for fucks for bucks/books? WHO CARES?!?!?! As long as it is consensual, I don't give a fat, ugly rat's ass how someone conducts his/her sex life.

6. What A Fucking Load Of Horseshit......

Oh yes.... the straights just have so many more scruples that those filthy fags......

........and that is not all my Queer Sisters, and Brothers!

This same author has decided that not only are Queers more likely to read his blog.... but lets chew on this lump of shit for a moment....



Queers... yes, those nasty fucking Queers are more likely to use the internet that straights.....

Yup... now who the fuck is doing this polling to come up with these figures? Ma & Pa Fucking Kettle? Michelle Bachmann?



WOW! Just WOW!



I see that they missed a few other stereotypes like:




Queers Are Always Rich (or I guess in the articles case.. if they don't have the funds in the bank, they sell their ass for them)


Queers Always Like Show Tunes.....


Queers Have Watched The Movie Beaches 37 Times......


Queers Are Good Cooks..... (thanks to HGTV no doubt).....


When Queers Talk With Their Friends, Everyone Utilizes The Universal Gay "Jazz Hands Movements"......


Christ knows, the list of Queer stereotypes is infinite......


I can't find any information... is the guy who's writing this crap Queer? Does anyone know?

7. It's quite common and always has been, from my experience.

I never did it, though I was offered several times in my younger days. Who cares.

On edit, I see I am again the one with the singular viewpoint, lol. :D

Well, you know, maybe I just like to run with a wilder crowd??? I mean, what can I say. When you are in college or just starting out, and hungry, and horny 24/7, 'why dish it out for free, when you can get paid for it' is typically how the reasoning goes, or always did amongst people I knew.

[BR_Parkway]

13. I have looked back at those days and somewhat humorously joked

about how much money I could have now if I hadn't given it all away for free back then LOL

[Cherchez la Femme]

9. Yes, but HuffPo WOULD, wouldn't they?

:eyes:

That place has ALWAYS been a huge waste of bandwidth

:puke:

[Crowman1979]

10. Maybe if they were closeted-preacher hypocrites. But I doubt that anyone out of the closet would.

[Aerows]

11. A sample of n=12

Well there's a sample size out of 7 billion people to take seriously.

12. gee go figure that men doing this would be less ashamed than women doing this

given our attitudes toward women and sex. It has nothing to do with straight gay. I would bet the most willing to own this behavior would be males who were having sugar mommas pay for college.
