Is My Husband GAY?

Right now in America there are over 2 million couples secretly struggling with homosexuality in their marriages. Are you one of them? Are you having intimacy issues? Are you suspicious about your husband’s late night activities? Or are you oblivious to a problem that could be putting your health and the livelihood of your family at risk? Don’t tell yourself that you’re simply being paranoid without taking a closer look!
Homosexuality can pop up at any time during a long-term relationship. Your spouse may have been experimenting with the “gay” lifestyle even before you met. Maybe he’s just using you as unwitting cover as he seeks playmates in the heterosexual world. For these types, the shame of being “outed” is so great that they will go to extremes to hide their lustful activities, even tricking a woman to marry them to appear normal in society. Sometimes it’s the nervous family who has rushed a young man into marriage out of a fear that his secret will be exposed. For others, homosexuality can appear later in life when men crave some escape from the monotony of careers and home life. Same-sex experimentation is also connected to drug or alcohol abuse. Crystal meth and other narcotics are proven to lower inhibitions and to drive people to take incredible risks to feed their habits.
For the wife unsure about her husband’s proclivities, the most important thing is to first confirm your suspicions. Drawing on the expertise of spiritual and medical professionals, Christwire has put together a list of 15 commonly-accepted characteristics of men struggling with homosexuality within a marriage:
1) Secretive late night use of cellphones and computers
Porn addiction is closely associated with homosexuality and a secretive nature implies he’s trying to hide something from you. Be on the lookout for a man who doesn’t want to web surf or answer phone calls in your presence. Texting is another favorite trick used by adulterers. For the sake of trust, a married couple should share everything, including phone logs, email accounts, chat friends and website histories.
2) Looks at other men in a flirtatious way
When you’re out in public, does he spend too much time looking at other men? Is he fond of winking at people? Does he get visibly upset when someone does not return a compliment about his physical appearance?
3) Feigning attention in church and prayer groups
Have you noticed a lack of interest in spiritual issues? Does it ever seem as if he’s just using church as an excuse to spend time around young men? Does he volunteer to mentor in all-male groups?
4) Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home
Natural men have a certain amount of grit about them. They sweat and they smell. Homosexuals often abhor this sort of thing and will also be incredibly particular about the cleanliness of the home. Does your man tweeze his eyebrows, trim his pubic hairs or use face moisturizers? Is he picky about brand name shampoos? Does he spend more time getting ready for a night out than you do?
5) Gym membership but no interest in sports
Gay men use the gym as a place to socialize and to have secret liaisons in the bathrooms. They like to work out their bodies without the competition of sports play. Afterward, they use the showers and steam rooms to engage in sexual activity beyond the prying eyes of women. If your man returns from the gym too exhausted to talk or have sex, that is a worrisome sign.
6) Clothes that are too tight and too “trendy”
Gay men don’t need words to communicate their availability for sex “hook ups.” They silently broadcast the news by showing off their lean, hard bodies in designer clothing labels. If your husband owns skinny jeans and looks at his buttocks in the mirror or if he wears an inordinate number of small-sized t-shirts, it is probably worthwhile to pay more attention to his private activities.
7) Strange sexual demands
Fetishism is a sign that a man is seeking a harder thrill beyond the normal intimacy of heterosexual relations. The woman may not appeal to the deep desires that are coming to the surface as the marriage drags on. If there is a sudden interest in sodomy, sadomasochism, lubricants, role-play, sex toys or other non-traditional intercourse methods, this is clearly an indication of deep emotional abnormalities.
More interested in the men than the women in pornographic films
Pornography is a dangerous element in any marriage but there are many Christians who feel watching it does add something to their sexual lives. If you have gone down this road and find that your man perks up at the sight of the men in these sorts of videos, you should be concerned. If he selects films because of specific male actors, this is an obvious sign that he is suffering from a crisis of ego and desire.
9) Travels frequently to big cities or Asia
Some husbands will spend a great deal of money traveling far from home to hide their deplorable same-sex actions. Big cities offer indulgence of every kind. From gay bars and clubs to prostitutes and sex bathhouses, a man seeking encounters can find them easily if he’s so inclined. Is there ever really a good excuse for a husband to visit Thailand or San Francisco without his wife?
10) Too many friendly young male friends
Someone who makes an extra effort to surround themselves with younger men should raise concerns in any community. If this is the case with your husband, ask yourself if he prefers their company to that of women. Do they touch each other or embrace in long hugs? Do they exchange expensive, personal gifts like scarves or cologne?
11) Sassy, sarcastic and ironic around his friends
A man who is secretly engaged in homosexual activity with others may exhibit feminine qualities when they get together in a group. In a sense, he has “let his hair down” and this will be seen in excessive back talk and speaking with one’s hands.
12) Love of pop culture
It’s quite common for young men to enjoy the science fiction end of popular culture, but when your husband becomes overly obsessed with romantic and feminine shows, that is cause for alarm. Gossip websites, Glee and The Golden Girls are three well-documented icons of the gay movement that genuine heterosexual men avoid.
13) Extroverted about his bare chest in public
Does he go shirtless in the back yard or at picnics when other men are around? Does he wear a speedo at the beach? Does it seem like he’s purposely standing right in the middle of a crowd to show off his chest and arm muscles, peppering people with questions about how strong he looks? He may be craving physical affirmation from other men and desperately looking for hints of shared desires in those around him.
14) Sudden heavy drinking
Sometimes people dealing with an unbearable emotional issue like homosexuality will turn to alcohol to hide their distress. Does your man disappear on drinking binges for long hours without answering his cellphone? Is there a strange odor about him when he returns, some strange mix of cigarettes and gel? Does he cry frequently?
15) Ladies, have you dated men in the past who turned out to be gay?
This is an important question to ask yourself when your marriage starts to have problems. Statistics have shown that women who have encountered gay men romantically in the past are the most likely to repeat this mistake in future relationships. If you answered yes, you should ask yourself whether you’re honestly looking for a man or just a shopping companion. Is sharing gossip more important to you than raising children? Ultimately, it’s a question of getting your priorities straight!

We would never have survived and prospered as a nation were it not for the moral guidance and values of our citizen and all of these insults and harsh words and clicking and whatnot is an attempt to shout me down. Furthermore, when it results in a DENIAL OF SERVICE attack (DNS), this is a crime. Once again, this is a Christian website and if you are not a Chrisitan and only coming here to spread hostility or make death threats I must ask you kindly to STOP NOW. You people are nothing more than bullies and it’s disgusting to me the vast amount of hate your liberal sorts have deep within your heart, ready to attack anyone they find who is courageous to stand up for his values. Your “homosexual” activists have done nothing but spread hate and fear and are encouraging nothing less than a genocide upon real marriage in this country.

“How typical of the childish and paranoid mindset of some many of you left wingers today.”
Okay, re-read your article and recall what you said the signs were of your husband being gay. As a reminder, they include using your cell phone or computer at night, travel to big cities or Asia, and too much working out. These seem more like signs of having a lot of work (travelling to big cities or Asia for work as well as using the computer or phone to get in touch with the office), love of travel (travelling to big cities or Asia for fun), or wanting to keep in shape (working out). This is a childish and paranoid view of marriage and of spousal relations. Aren’t you the childish and paranoid one, then?
“Why do you people have an allergy to respectful discourse and anything that has to do with the importance of morality in our culture?”
As one of “you people” a.k.a a social liberal, I would be very happy to discuss morality. I think it’s terrible to lie, cheat, kill, steal, etc. However, I do not think that being gay is wrong. I will discuss this with you at length if you would like to talk about it. I will counter all of your arguments as to why it’s wrong (if you have any other than “it just is” or “a book written by some old guys who lived in a completely different time and place from us says it is”). Let’s chat. Why is being gay wrong?

Hi, I have a passage I’d like to share with you and everyone else who is lost. There is so much love in Christianity, I pray you open your heart up to His message today. Do you know that He gave his own Son to die for YOUR sins? Do you know how incredible it is that you can have a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe, that above all inanimate things on this earth, He will love YOU more? God bless my friends and welcome.
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” –Isaiah 40:18-31.

To Stephen.
I am a Catholic and even I can see the major flaws in this article. This article is not based in fact. It is spreading fear and doubt to married couples, especially the wives. If your husband works for the Peace Corps and has to travel to impoversihed nations isn’t it more likely he’s doing his job, rather than indulging in homosexuality. Personally I find this article to perpetuate the idea that homosexuality is enticing and nearly impossibly to resist. Which is, of course, ridiculous. You are either homosexual or you are not. If you choose to fight it or ‘turn straight’ then that’s a personal choice. To think that every straight person is struggling with the temptation of homosexuality is preposterous. I’ve never had urges to be with other women. And I’m quite sure I never will.
The best route is to be honest with your spouse. (and watching porn doesn’t make you gay… just saying)

Mr. Billings, I would like to thank you for this hour of very entertaining (and by entertaining I mean hilarious) reading. Please note that I will not, in the following paragraphs, be debating the “facts” of your article, but addressing the article in itseld as well as your comments on this forum.
First of all, I am amazed at the level of bigotry and hate you show here, not only towards homosexual men, but towards anyone who disagrees with your opinion. Yes, I do write “opinion”, because I consider your article to be a text of opinion rather than an investigative piece. It is based on personal opinion, on stereotypes, on a limited sample group and on other texts of opinion. By limited sample group, I mean that you are taking situations lived by a limited number of women who found out their husbands are gay and you are generalizing this in a very erroneous way.
Concerning your comment that “It’s not my fault that some of you loons decided to gather together to harass me and shout down my free speech”, you are claiming your right to free speech, but denying it to everyone else who commented on your article. You cannot dismiss what people are writing in response to your post simply because you do not like it. Just because they disagree with you does not mean that they are ganging up on you to take away your free speech. You claimed in one of your earlier comments that you were hoping to have a sensible discussion with others and yet here you are, calling the readers and commenters loons. I agree with you that some of the comments from readers may have harsh or un-called for, but I also agree with the readers that you are not a serious investigative journalist.
Your original intent may have been (and I am not even sure that this was really your intent) to help some women who are experiencing problems in their marriage, but all you ended up doing is writing a stereotyping article that is hurtful, hateful and un-Christian.
I was born and raised a Christian, and although I am not a practicing Christian, I do know that Christianity is about loving your neighbour and I am afraid that you do do even respect that tenets of your religion seeing as you have shown a great deal of hate (whether underlying or open)in both your article and your comments. Loving your neighbour does not mean changing your neighbour in order for him to fit your idea, or a group’s idea, of who that person should be. You ruin your own credibility by falling prey to the same shortcomings you accuse the commenters of having (e.g. name calling such as paranoid, childish, loons). I would also like to add that, as a fellow Christian, I think you should be ashamed of yourself for using the Bible in some of your comments to justify your hateful words. You should also consider that culture, and Culture, is not a matter of religion, and that just because your religion, or the heads of your church, or the main book of your faith state something, it does not make it a fact. Religion deals with faith and belief and they should not be used as justification for your actions. You hide behing the Bible like a child hides behind his parents’ legs when he’s done something bad.
All of this makes me very happy that your post is being re-distributed everywhere as a source of ridicule. At the same time, I am not happy that you are getting all of this free publicity, since I have a feeling that this is really what you were looking for when you posted your article. To me, you are irrelevant both as an “investigative journalist” and as a writer, and you should not be enjoying this much publicity for an article that, if it were in print, wouldn’t be worth the paper it would have been printed on.
You can comment all you want on this response, but keep in mind that I also have a right to free speech, and this includes speaking up against articles, and comments from the writer of said article, if I feel like it. Next time you decide to write an investigative piece, you should really do some real investigating work instead of reading a few texts of opinion with a religious flavor and using them as sources in order to inflict your bigotry upon the world.

Mr. Billings… unfortunately you have no right to free speech in the private sector. The Government is not trying to shut you down… you are merely dealing with the responses of the people your retarded article has angered.
Your First Amendment right to free speech only protects you from the GOVERNMENT!
It does not protect you however from private persons responses, it does not protect you from having your web site shut down by the web host, it does not protect you from having all the advertising dollars that fund that host pulled by advertisers that do not wish to have their good company’s name displayed on the same site as your hate speech and other garbage (or bad satire… I’m not sure which)
Just like Laura Schlesinger… she tried to say that her right to free speech was being violated because she was taken off the air by her employer, and because all her advertisers pulled their adds… this is not a violation of anyone’s right to free speech… you have only the right to be free from reprisal from the government for your speech… you do not however enjoy the right to be free from the consequences for your ridiculous opinions and hate speech.

You know as a transgender male i spend a lot of time with other young people who are gay, bi, lesbian and transgender. Not one of these people is stereotypical. They are thin and fat, have short hair and long hair, fashionable and not fashionable, and all of them are just kids who are looking for friendly love and acceptance, same as me. When I read stuff like this, its just really sad that some people will go so far to pull back our positive steps forward in the world and try to stop people from accepting us as we deserve. In some situations I would say that I hate christians and christianity, but perhaps this is a little harsh. I hate people who hold and distribute opinions like this. I used to be a devout Catholic, until I heard a disgusting program on the radio by Focus on the Family which said the most disgraceful things about homosexuals. As I was a couple of years younger then and had only just discovered that I am attracted to women, I was absolutely crushed. I felt rejected my the church and my god, it was like a kick in the face. And now I have no interest in religion what so ever. What I’m getting at is that you and your people carrying on with all your bull actually destroy more faith than you creates… at least among the sane.

You made a comment assigning criticism to “left-wingers”. With all due respect, as a disciple of Jesus Christ for over 30 years, I find that sort of stereotyping more reflective of partisan, deceptive politics – and, you and I both know who the Father of lies (deception) is. May I suggest some maturity here and leave the right wing talking points out of the Kingdom of God – Jesus has had His name dragged through the mud far too many times due to the this insanity.
BTW – I am dropping out of my all men’s mentoring group to avoid any confusion – however, I am finding it difficult to convince the women to accept me into their group. Any suggestions here as to where to go??
Best,

Mr. Billings, I would like to take another few lines on this forum to ask whether you considered the other side of the medal? Why not write about marriages broken because the woman is a homosexual (a lesbian, if you will). I took a couple of minutes, which seems to be about the same time you took, to think and re-write your article for the husbands… Here’s what I came up with:
For the husband unsure about his wife’s proclivities, the most important thing is to first confirm your suspicions. Drawing on the popular stereotypes, “Astonished” has put together a list of 15 commonly-accepted characteristics of women struggling with homosexuality within a marriage:
1) Secretive late night use of saws, drills and hammers (or any kind of tool/power tool)
2) Looks at other men in a disgusted way
3) Feigning attention in church and prayer groups (original line)
4) Lack of interest in her appearance and the home
5) Membership at the local hardware store or car show
6) Clothes that are too loose, lots of plaid and a mullet
7) Lack of sexual demands or abusive use of sexual toys (i.e. lack of use of the husband’s body)
9) Rarely gets away from the house, spends most of her time in the garage or tool shed
10) Too many unfriendly masculine female friends
11) Masculine, aggressive and very loud around her friends
12) Hate of pop culture
13) Extroverted and harsh about men with bare chests in public
14) Sudden heavy drinking (same)
15) Gentlemen, have you dated women in the past who turned out to be gay?
I can imagine most readers being offended by this list, and I agree with them since it is solely based on stereotypes of the “butch lesbian”, like Mr. Billings’ article is solely based on the stereotypes of the “flaming queen” or the gay “muscle man” and not taking into consideration the wide variety of groups within the male gay community, from the twink to the bear and from the young to the old. There is no research involved in either list, only a very bad use of the popular view of homosexuals, which is just wrong: plain and simple.
I would also like to ask you, Mr. Billings, why you felt you had to write an article about male homosexuality, rather than one about homosexuality in a marriage, no matter the sex? I have a feeling that:
a) like a lot of double-standarded bigots, your are, secretely or not, disgusted by male homosexuality, but very happily turned on by female sexuality (probably even masturbating at the thought even though masturbation is also a sin).
b) you are a self-loathing, closetted gay men who feels he needs the Lord to save him from himself for his sinful thoughts.
Either way, you have a lot of work to do on yourself and should really consult with a specialist other than just your priest. No offense meant to priests, I’m simply stating that they are not the only resource out there for people who need/want help.
I hope next time you decide to write an “investigative article”, you will take some time to consider all sides of a topic.

To Astonished,
Thank you for your posts. They really are well-argued and superbly expressed. While reading that “article” I instantly had a sinking feeling, thinking: “Do Americans actually think like this?” It’s really scary.
I am a gay man in Canada, and it is posts like this that make Americans seem like uneducated red-necks. It reminds me of the ignorance that is being broadcasted in Uganda about homosexuality, where gay men are portrayed by their desire to eat feces from another man’s anus:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euXQbZDwV0w
Anyhow, you (Astonished) have restored some of my faith that many Americans do not share these ridiculous views. Your counterargument about the gay women in marriages was so well done that I choked on my wine. It was well-appreciated by me and some of my friends. So thanks again.

That was well thought out, thank you for taking the time to write this reply. I realized also, especially after reading your response, that this article is not only filled with hateful homophobic remarks, but it’s also very sexist as well.
Some on this list could apply to anyone cheating on their partner, such as the first item on the list (I’ve lived through it). However, others such as 4 and 5 are very idiotic stereotypes of what a man should be according to some people’s narrow-mindedness. Plenty of men will help out around the home, and most normal men don’t stiink, unless they’ve been in the gym or something. There is nothing wrong with a man that takes care of himself; not all women are your mother! Trust me on this, women love men who who smell nice. It’s a growing trend, and that’s why you see an increasing number of commercial advertising body care products not just for men, but manly men (ala Old Spice).
There are also many straight men that have no interest in sports, but go to the gym to stay healthy. This sort of goes back to 4 on the list. Men that take of themselves, are healthy and generally look good attract the ladies.
Frankly, the author of the article needs to take his head out of his ass. These comments are not just liberal whack-jobs, but a mix of christians and conservatives as well. Basically, NO ONE agrees with him.

While I believe late night use of cell phones & computers may be an indication or an unfaithful spouse (male or female), I am curious so see the study what would indicate this is tied to sexual orientation. In this same item, you allege porn addiction to be “closely associated” with homosexuality. Let’s see that study while you are at it.

As a gay man who was directed to this article because it’s currently being ridiculed widely on Facebook, I would like to mention the following:
1.) I have a friend that works in the pitt for stock car racing. He’s gay. His (non-existent) wife wouldn’t know it, of course, because he’s not as stereotypical as your anachronistic thinking.
2.) NYC has a gay men’s volleyball league, gay baseball league, and gay soccer league to name a few. The participants aren’t doing it to sleep together; they’re doing it because they like sports.
3.) As a gay man, I often look at the internet late at night. It’s not because I’m cruising or watching porn (which, I quite frankly, prefer in the morning). I happen to like crossword puzzles, and they help me fall to sleep.
4.) I hate pop culture. Although the Golden Girls are pretty good…
5.) Men strutting in front of other men is a biological normality. It’s how they show virility and dominance. All species do it.

Yeah, asking my husband if he was gay worked out really well. He was like “d’oh! you got me!” and I was like “I knew it!” and we laughed and laughed and called all our friends and told them about our funny conversation.
Are you a moron? ASK HIM? You can’t be serious.
Oh – and while I agree that a lot of this list is ridiculous, in my experience the part about weird sexual practices is true. Seriously, if you don’t enjoy s&m or anal and your guy is going on about it? IF it’s the former, he’s gay, if it’s the latter, he’s a sadist and if it’s both he’s a gay psychopath and hide your kids hide your wife hide your husband cause he’s rapin’ everybody out here.

Thank you, good Sir, for my morning giggle! This was far better than reading the weekend funnies, I assure you! I have a few points to respond to though.
1)”Porn addiction is closely associated with homosexuality and a secretive nature implies he’s trying to hide something from you.”
So, a person who enjoys porn, regardless of the reason for enjoying, and has a vrather large collection of it, is automatically gay? Interesting, Hey Ron Jeremy, did you know you were gay??
2)”Have you noticed a lack of interest in spiritual issues?”
That depends. When you say spiritual issues, are you referring only to Christian spirituality, or ALL spiritual issues?
3)”Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home.”
So a guy who is house-proud, and/or has been taught as a child to always look neat and clean of person, is automatically gay? Or a guy with a unibrow who tweezes? Seriously?
4)”Gym membership but no interest in sports.”
A guy who is interested in staying fit, but has no coordination for sports is gay. That’s what this says. That’s stupid.
5)”Clothes that are too tight and too “trendy””
So basically EVERY 15-19yr old boy is gay?
6)”If there is a sudden interest in sodomy, sadomasochism, lubricants, role-play, sex toys or other non-traditional intercourse methods, this is clearly an indication of deep emotional abnormalities.”
Say what? These are ‘non-traditional’? By what standards, the 9th century’s?
7)”Travels frequently to big cities or Asia”
OOOOHHHHH!!!! Ladies, if your Hubby is a CEO, or VP, or top Sales person in their company, be aware, they did it, not for financial, and familial, security, but so they could have the chance to have secret gay liasons!!! Because everyone loves having an affair with a person who has ruined their health to get to the top of their field and no longer has staying power to enjoy sex.
8)”Love of pop culture”
So, now it’s all guys between 16 and 32, who are gay?
9)”Extroverted about his bare chest in public
Does he go shirtless in the back yard or at picnics when other men are around? Does he wear a speedo at the beach? Does it seem like he’s purposely standing right in the middle of a crowd to show off his chest and arm muscles, peppering people with questions about how strong he looks?”
Well, that does explain Jersey Shore…. J/K But basically you are saying almost all guys with a strong European background are gay….
10)”Sudden heavy drinking”
So, alcoholism equals gay? Really? You are positive about that?
Dude, get your head out of your ass and try talking to real experts. I’m sure if you took the time to look up psychologists, or therapists, in your area, they would all tell you that you; ” are a closet homosexual that is terrified at exposing himself to potential ridicule”; and that’s why you have the amazing discriminatory hate-campaign against homosexuals happening.

Hi, you do make some interesting points and as I have stated many times, this list is by no means comprehensive. Surely there are exceptions as well. In any event, I wanted to provide a launching pad for the discussion and I know many women who are in these troubled marriages are worried and need to be given some outline of where to start addressing things.
In regards to gay men and the gym, this is a well established fact and many, many gay men use the gym to “cruise” each other. Sadly, there are far too many graphic websites that offer first hand accounts of these situations if you do some basic googling. It really ruins the gym experience for those of us who simply want to stay in shape. Some gyms have been wholly claimed by gay people and straight people know to steer clear.

I find it strange this man is going around and trying to show women how to tell if there husbands are secretly gay. His advice would suit any man or woman for almost any situation. gay, online sex, gambling addictions, alcohol addictions, etc. But he talks about Gays..Why? Because he is scared of them, he has fears. He above most men is to be pitied, for he has let his fear rule him instead of bravely looking at them and over coming them rather then giving in to them. Even Jerry Falwell, despite the fact that he ran anti homosexual platforms, Had gay friends whom he would have over for supper on a regular basis. I am thinking Jerry was a closet gay himself, in denial but the tendancy was there.
Sir do you think there is a gay man under every bush? Have you been molested at some point? Why do you fear gay men?
I would like also to address his quoting of the bible. Leviticus is often used to show Homosexual activities are an abomination. But the christians say they are free from the law, so why are they still binding themselves by the law, instead of living free. Paul says all things are permissable, but not beneficial. I would assume that would cover being gay as well as eating non kosher food or the wearing of clothing of mixed materials, or the eating of Lobsters or shrimp, or shellfish, all which are abominations to the God as well. Of course they will qualify these things and come up with some excuse as to why one and not the others.. Just a bunch of white washed hypocritical thinking.

have you ever considered – that perhaps god in fact does want gay men… perhaps it something to do with … urm.. i dont know… over population? perhaps its that the children of today are being brainwashed by petty idiots such as yourself… and he is trying to prevent that.
god you American christians are just wrong! I dont know where you come off insulting major portions of the worlds population? and then basing it on your crappy “jesus loves”bull shit!

To try and appeal to your mindset for a minute here lets pretend that being gay is wrong, which it isn’t. Did Jesus condemn and ostracize sinners?

As an openly gay man in a long term, 10+ years monogamous relationship, I find your comments incredibly inaccurate, sexist and oozing with hate. Ask yourself, “Who would Jesus denigrate?” the next time you start pecking away on your Cheeto’s-residue covered keyboard in the false name of Christianity.
Finally, your ramblings about “lean bodied, shirtless men”, “secret orgies”, and “being in the company of younger men” makes me wonder whether this article is more a manifesto of your own latent homosexual tendencies and possible deviant addiction to pedophilia. (which has nothing to do with openly gay men who are secure in their own sexual identity).
In the words of Shakespeare, “Methinks thou doth protest too much!” (I see you peeking out of the closet!)

You make some very good points in your well written comments – they attest to the legitimacy of your being an authentic, committed journalist. As such, I felt compelled to reply.
This list is both humorous in the speculative details that ‘substantiate’ each of the points, and lamentable in the possibility that the author is actually earnest. If the latter is true, it does imply the possibility of him being a gay man, deeply “closeted” due to dogma that is based on misinterpretations of the Bible. This circumstance is unfortunate and brings up at least two significant points:
1. Most people do not understand that the Bible is comprised of translated and edited versions of numerous original texts by different transcriptionists.
2. Some people construe the Bible literally and fail to consider that current versions – and there are more than one – were intended for an audience who lived thousands of years ago, whose intellectual and educational levels were (presumably) substandard than contemporary people.
I am hopeful that eventually, people will become educated enough to understand these points and subsequently focus on the aspects of the Bible that promote kindness and love. Surely people would be happier and set positive examples through their day to day living that others not so inclined would want to emulate. Otherwise, we will continue to be mired in the unhappiness, frustration, insecurity and unwarranted fear that result in pontifications such as this frivolous and fallacious “Is My Husband GAY?” piece.

“Right now in America there are over 2 million couples secretly struggling with homosexuality in their marriages.”
Source?
Have you ever heard the term “differential diagnosis”? In the medical field a differential diagnosis is a different disease or condition that can cause the same symptoms as the disease that is suspected. For example, a woman goes to her gynecologist because she’s experiencing cramping in between periods. The doc suspects endometriosis, but a differential diagnosis would be uterine cancer, because uterine cancer also produces cramping.
So, I’m going to come up with “differential diagnoses” for the “symptoms”, for lack of a better word, you listed for homosexuality.
So, here we go:
“1) Secretive late night use of cellphones and computers”
Differential dx:
-working
-communicating with old buddies
-playing or surfing the net in order to wind down before bed
-doing research
-posting on bigoted sites like christwire
-having an affair with another WOMAN
“3) Feigning attention in church and prayer groups”
Differential dx:
-he’s not religious
-he has something better to do
-he has a lot on his mind
“4) Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home”
Differential dx:
-he doesn’t want his gender to be viewed as smelly, disgusting apes
-he believes in women’s rights and thus pitches in to help out around the house
“Natural men have a certain amount of grit about them. They sweat and they smell.”
Yeah, and then they shower, so they don’t smell anymore!
“5) Gym membership but no interest in sports”
Gyms have nothing to do with sports. Just because one believes in exercising and strengthening the body doesn’t mean that they have to like sports. I don’t belong to a gym, but my mom has several pieces of exercise equipment in our living room that we share. Tossing a ball around has nothing to do with gyms and gym memberships.
“Gay men use the gym as a place to socialize and to have secret liaisons in the bathrooms.”
Oh give me a fucking break! Gay men use gyms to work out, not to have sex in bathrooms!
“They like to work out their bodies without the competition of sports play.”
So do I and many other people, gay and straight. Is that a crime?
“If your man returns from the gym too exhausted to talk or have sex, that is a worrisome sign.”
Yeah…or perhaps he’s simply tired from, uh…exercising?
“If there is a sudden interest in sodomy, sadomasochism, lubricants, role-play, sex toys or other non-traditional intercourse methods, this is clearly an indication of deep emotional abnormalities.”
Straight people practice sodomy all the time and it has nothing to do with latent homosexual desires. If you do the same thing all the time, it gets monotonous, does it not? So, you try to change things up a bit. It works the same way in the bedroom. Heck, sometimes it’s the woman who wants to try the anal sex, not the guy! The same thing is true for S&M, role-play, and sex toys. As for lubricant, oftentimes lube is needed for vaginal intercourse if the woman does not manage to self-lubricate enough. Trust me, I’ve never had sex but I masturbate, and it not pleasant if the vagina is not lubricated enough.
“9) Travels frequently to big cities or Asia”
Differential dx:
-he has a secret girlfriend in those places
-he’s looking for hookers
-he’s on business
-he’s a pedophile who goes to Asia for the female child prostitutes
-he likes to get away
“10) Too many friendly young male friends”
You mean like you and your little camping buddies?
Did you ever consider that perhaps these are just his “pals”?
“11) Sassy, sarcastic and ironic around his friends
A man who is secretly engaged in homosexual activity with others may exhibit feminine qualities when they get together in a group.”
So you’re saying that females are sassy? Go fuck yourself with something hard and sand-papery.
“It’s quite common for young men to enjoy the science fiction end of popular culture”
No it’s not. Boys have always made fun of me for liking sci-fi. And these were straight boys, obviously, because I’ve never been made fun of by a gay guy.
“He may be craving physical affirmation from other men”
Or he could be showing off for the ladies. Ever consider that?

Mind if I add some stuff to that list Claire?
//It’s quite common for young men to enjoy the science fiction end of popular culture, but when your husband becomes overly obsessed with romantic and feminine shows, that is cause for alarm. Gossip websites, Glee and The Golden Girls are three well-documented icons of the gay movement that genuine heterosexual men avoid.//
So straight-guys can’t enjoy an actually decent romance plot or have a softer side period or else they’re gay? They have to constantly be all ‘tough ‘n buff’ because that’s how everyone is supposed to see straight guys? Or is that how you were beaten and raised, that if you had a softer side, that you were instantly labeled as gay?
//Does he go shirtless in the back yard or at picnics when other men are around? Does he wear a speedo at the beach? Does it seem like he’s purposely standing right in the middle of a crowd to show off his chest and arm muscles, peppering people with questions about how strong he looks? He may be craving physical affirmation from other men and desperately looking for hints of shared desires in those around him.//
Because guys don’t show off to impress women, that’s just stupid! Am I right? No, if a dude’s topless on the streets, it’s because he wants the penis, he hates it when women ogle at his chest.
//Sometimes people dealing with an unbearable emotional issue like homosexuality will turn to alcohol to hide their distress. Does your man disappear on drinking binges for long hours without answering his cellphone? Is there a strange odor about him when he returns, some strange mix of cigarettes and gel? Does he cry frequently?//
So the majority of times a guy does this it’s because he’s gay? Never mind that he: may lose his house, has problems with his wife over various issues, thinks he’s going to lose his job/has lost his job, has his friends abandon him, having to deal with a mistake he made several years ago that continues to haunt him to this day, spent time, effort, or money on any kind of project just to have the entire thing blow up in their face, and god knows what else. Nope, it’s more than likely that deep down his gay and can’t handle being gay, even though most people tend to not care about sexuality these days to warrant the self-hate.
//This is an important question to ask yourself when your marriage starts to have problems. Statistics have shown that women who have encountered gay men romantically in the past are the most likely to repeat this mistake in future relationships.//
What statistics? Exactly how often do women date a gay guy and manage to do it several times? It sounds more like if a woman dates several men and in the process they all realize their gay or become gay, then it’s probably just bad luck rather than some phenomenon. Either that, or she’s done something to turn them all off and they’re using ‘I’m gay’ as an excuse to leave her.
//Porn addiction is closely associated with homosexuality and a secretive nature implies he’s trying to hide something from you. Be on the lookout for a man who doesn’t want to web surf or answer phone calls in your presence. Texting is another favorite trick used by adulterers. For the sake of trust, a married couple should share everything, including phone logs, email accounts, chat friends and website histories.//
Or maybe there’s the fact that the man may be ashamed of his wife’s sexual performance or his performance, or maybe one of them has become boring, or maybe there are certain things he enjoys that he doesn’t feel comfortable telling about and doesn’t want her to think otherwise. Not only that, everyone has their own secrets that they SHOULDN’T tell someone else. Sometimes it’s simple, other times it isn’t. If you know too much about the other person, then things get boring. To go back to the whole thing with porn, there has to be some serious trouble at the start if a guy is resorting to essentially ‘pre-marriage porn stash’ to get off.

Hi, I will try to dig through your comment but I believe you have made many grave errors of comprehension. Some of your points are needlessly hostile.
1) There are natural differences between the brains of men and women and it’s well-known that certain types of shows appeal to homosexuals. If a man suddenly embraces perfume and body glitter, would that not make you wonder? Where is the line? Well, I think it’s helpful to start this discussion and try to pinpoint those elements of our culture that appeal specifically to the homosexuals.
2) See my comment to Claire below. I am talking about situations when it’s evident the men are showing off for each other. There are many times when you can encounter a group of shirtless males without girls, in public parks, etc.
3) You’re misinterpreting me if you think every male alcoholic is homosexual. However, every women who has discovered a homosexual husband has noted this as a common trait. Your tone gets a bit ridiculous here, as if you’re not really trying to absorb my point but simply making trouble.
4) As noted below in my reply to Claire, porn addiction is one thing that men in marriage suffering from homosexuality have in common. In fact, it’s their web histories that give them away, when their wives discover this! If you read the testimonals as I have, you will see this topic come up time and again. I.e.:
“Possession of homosexual pornography (videos, magazines, photos stored on his computer). If your husband has consistently viewed homosexual pornography, on the computer (check the history in your internet browser!) remember that he probably would not be doing this if he did not enjoy it. It is simply too risky an activity to merely “check out”.” Heather Cram author of You’re What?! Survival Strategies for Straight Spouses.

I do not usually comment directly on a phrase a person has written, Claire and The Comedian do a superb job of that already and I do not wish to usurp that. I do not break down an article bit by bit because, between Claire and The Comedian, it would just be redundant. However, on this particular comment, and because you are so special, I will comment on this:
1) I believe the homosexual line is when, if you are male, you wish to put a penis in your mouth. Provided that, you might think about accepting that you may be gay. Barring that, although I have no love of fashion, I do not hold that as evidence for a person’s sexuality.
2) I won’t comment on this one. I think it speaks for itself.
3) This is hardly a case of ‘Alcoholism is linked to Homosexuality’ rather a classic case of ‘Alcoholism linked to depression’ or ‘Alcoholism linked to stress’. You ‘evidence’ needs to backup your conclusions.
4) You might clarify this to mean ‘gay porn’ as a sign of homosexuality to alleviate some of that confusion. What if you never look at ‘gay porn’? What if you only look at, say, women masturbating. Would that make you gay? How about heterosexual intercourse? Or lesbians?
These hypothetical situations are assuming you are male. I did this deliberately, because I noticed the people are LESS bothered by a homosexual relationship between two women than they are by two men. At least, in the community I am in now.

Mr. Billings, are you REALLY a moron or do you just play one on the internet?
Your list is ridiculous, you’re just too dense to realize it. As an actual mental health professional, I can tell you that the “problem” as you state it is NOT porn, The Golden Girls or homosexuality. It is close-minded religious bigots who guilt people into trying to be something they’re not. It IS a shame that there are people who feel so strongly that the people who SHOULD love them unconditionally and only want them to be happy will reject them if they decide to live the life that feels right and natural to them that they get married to a member of the opposite sex to try to be something they’re not. Their (usually) unsuspecting spouse IS a victim in that scenerio, but not of homosexuality, of bigotry and religious intolerance. People who quote the Bible to suit them. Leviticus also states that eating shellfish is an abomination. So where is your list of ways to know if your spouse is going to Red Lobster?

You state that EVERY woman reported alcoholism as a common trait when discovering a homosexual husband.
It has also been discovered that EVERY serial killer has had episodes of bedwetting beyond the age of 6 years old. Following your logic that perceived excessive alcohol usage can indicate homosexuality; society should be concerned for any child who wets his or her bed beyond the age of 6, as this may indicate a future in killing.
I wonder if we can find some common childhood traits that ALWAYS, EVERY TIME lead to homosexuality in one partner in a marriage, while the other partner is somehow completely oblivious…I am sure there is a study out there.
*(at which point, the question becomes not whether or not the partner is homosexual or whether or not a person is a serial killer; but rather, what we should do with these children who are clearly predestined to become homosexual partners in a heterosexual marriage or serial killers, respectively).

Dear Author,
I really do beg that you read this post and think about its message and absorb it as you wish for us to absorb your ill-conceived thoughts. I write to educate you in the ways of the lord that I know and also the ways of our common day man.
Well… to be completely honest I thought this article was in satire upon reading it and even upon my completion did I still think it was humor.
And as heinous as most of your points are I think I will only talk about the select few I can remember without needing to scroll up. Here is a real bombshell: if my girlfriend of 2 years were to read this article and believe it, I’d be done for. So think of how many relationships you have ended that there wasn’t any problem.
You’re probably wondering why she would have ended it, so I am going to tell you.
1) I do have a gym membership and I go shirtless a lot, even with girls not around especially outside because sometimes its hot. Less clothing = less heat…
2) I watch a lot of porn, and it has nothing to do with homosexuality because I enjoy sexual activity more frequently than my girlfriend.
3) I stay up late on my computer all the time when I can’t sleep not to be gay as you so eloquently put it but in order to post on dumb articles such as your very own.
4) Just because I or anyone else for that matter watches Days of our LIves or Glee does not make me/us gay. It simply means we have different taste. Watching ESPN or SPIKETv does not make me a man. Also I am willing to bet there is NO scientific evidence to back up you saying homosexuals tend to enjoy certain shows.
5) Men do get dirty yes… but impressing the female portion of our population requires us not to be apes like you and your “straight man”. All through highschool I made sure I never wore the same outfit or article within 2 weeks. I alway woke up two hours before class to take a shower where I used Bath and Body Works products and exfoliated daily even spent 20 minutes fixing my hair each morning. I’ve had chemical peals and even had a dozen manicures. Does that make me gay? No. It means I liked having 13 girls on each arm at all times. Also wearing tight “trendy” clothes gets you laid. Try it.
6) If someone isn’t religious it doesn’t mean that they are gay… if anything as a christian you should witness to them and tell them why they should be not chase them away by accusing them of your “abomination” speak – which i digress, is in the old testament so unless you’re jewish doesn’t really apply to you – and falsely indoctrinated propaganda.
7) And for the record heavy drinking is common in anybody with personel problems… it doesn’t just apply to gays… If someone has a personel problem they are ashamed of (not to say being gay is something to be ashamed of and certainly not as much as you make it out to be which makes their situation exponentially harder) drinking would help them to forget no matter what it is. People drink when they’re depressed. It doesnt help that your articles are making their wives skeptical of their preference.
Your logic is flawed, your religious beliefs are not the work of the lord, and you certainly are the most bigoted, intolerant, fascist, worthless excuse for a writer that I have ever had the displeasure in learning about.
Another religious tid-bit… all sins are equal, so you lying about your “medical research” is just as bad in the eyes of the lord as homosexuality. And always remember, Judge not lest ye be judged. I bid you good day, and I will pray for you that god forgives your ignorance and will have mercy on you.

Oh, what tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to… succumb to stereotypes.
You’ll do much better to understand that not all gay men look like ’90s (or for that matter, ’70s) television stereotypes. I’m as queer as a three-dollar bill, but I can’t stand celebrity gossip web sites. Almost nobody who met me would jump to thinking “he’s gay”, but that’s because being gay simply isn’t the most interesting thing about me. I also dress “butch” (no tight jeans or teen-style t-shirts), I go to the gym to actually work out, and I don’t use perfume-y body products, ever.
Kudos to commenter Clare, above, for having a clue. The “hints” in this article are useful for driving gossip and paranoia, but are hogwash from a diagnostic standpoint.

Homosexual contact is common in the “wet” areas of health clubs and spas. I have seen this well over a hundred times. The shower is a “cruising” area where men strut and pose, and proceed to enter the steam room. Once the steam reaches the point of decreased visibility, then mutual masturbation or oral sodomy can occur without being visible to all. Men should always wear footwear in these areas, and avoid sitting in steam rooms because there are boys erupting in there with some frequency.
The big giveaway is not necessarily if your husband goes to the gym, but look for these signs:
Is he there more than an hour? Virtually all exercise routines can be completed in less time.
Does he shower there? Normal men avoid locker rooms today, because societal prohibition against homosexuality has evaporated, encouraging SSA (same sex attraction) behavior there. If he showers and returns in an hour, you are okay. If he’s there for 2 hours, you have problems.
The biggest giveaway: HOW WET IS HIS TOWEL WHEN HE COMES BACK? Feel a towel after you’ve taken a shower at home, and you realize it’s barely damp. If he comes back from the gym after 3 hours and needs to wring out his sopping wet towel before hanging it up and it’s still wet the next morning, then he is frolicking in the showers and the steam room. You are most certainly married to a poofter.

There’s a thing called ‘no doubt’ and ‘blanketing’ when it comes to information. No one doubts that there are people who get it on at a gym, but it’s completely different to say that ALL gay men bang each other at one.

Yes, I would say you are correct, this is probably common in some health clubs, but probably doesn’t happen at all in others. This does not occur at the gym I go to now, but I saw it regularly at another gym in the same chain. The same guys are in the locker room when you arrive, they are there when you return from your workout, and they are still there in the locker room when you leave. And they are the same guys all the time. I think you certainly can’t jump to conclusions about a guy going to the gym. But if you grab the wrong towel off the hook in the shower and get one that belongs to a frolicker (I hope that term doesn’t seem judgmental), it’s amazing how wet their towels can be! I think the 3 Hour / Wet Towel Test is quite a valid measurement. Although I would qualify that by adding that it has to happen REPEATEDLY.

You’ve seen this well over a hundred times? What gym are you going to exactly? Because if its not the YMCA the Village People go to, I highly doubt that’s an accurate number. I doubt you’ve seen this well over one time. Even if everything you say is perfectly true and your description of the gym is correct, I would still refuse to believe that you have personally witnessed any sort of homosexual activity well over a hundred times and here’s why:
First off, you claim that these homosexual outbreaks occur in the steam room when the steam is too thick to see anybody. According to your own account, you literally would not be able to see this happening, and therefore wouldn’t know about this unless you were participating or sitting uncomfortably close to someone who was.
Secondly, if you had seen this happening multiple times, it means that you would have had to see it once, then repeatedly go back for more. And while your homophobia suggests that you are probably a closeted homosexual yourself, I get the feeling that if you were an active participant in these oh-so-frequent gay gym sexcapades, you wouldn’t be on this website bragging about your extensive knowledge of them.
And lastly, you claim that “Normal men avoid locker rooms today, because societal prohibition against homosexuality has evaporated, encouraging SSA (same sex attraction) behavior there.” You’re clearly saying that it’s common knowledge to straight men that gay men are having sex in the locker rooms, and therefore, avoid them. I hate to be repetitive, but this again suggests that you would have known exactly what was going on even before witnessing it “well over a hundred times” and could have prevented yourself from seeing it if you wanted to.
Oh, and also, “SSA” doesn’t stand for “same sex attraction,” it stands for “side side angle.” But I don’t expect you to know that as I’m sure you believe geometry is a sin, or the anti-christ, or something of that nature.

Hi Claire, thanks for the comment. As for the specifics up there,
1) Here’s the source for my 2 million number: “Along with other high-profile examples such as evangelist leader Ted Haggard and former Congressman Mike Huffington, there are an estimated 2 million to 4 million gay people who are or have been married to straight spouses.” — “The McGreevey Effect: Is Your Husband Gay?”, ABC News, April 24, 2007.
2) The differential diagnosis theory is relevant, but we’re talking about a combination of symptoms and factors here that a woman can use to identify if her husband is having a homosexual lifestyle. I’m not saying each and every point is ironclad, but if a man is suffering from several of these points then yes, there should be cause for alarm. I am suggesting that if a woman worries about her husband being gay (and many do!), that they need a solid list of things to look for and that’s what I have provided.
3) As for computer use, almost every woman who has discovered that her husband is gay lists this as a common trait. It’s just too easy for men to connect to gays via pornography or chat rooms online.
4) Gyms used to be places for athletes to prepare for sports. Now, we have men who just pump up particular muscles without working out their entire bodies. Actual sports can be great workouts for muscles you would not think of standing in front of a mirror lifting weights. As for the sex part, I have a link in the article (NSFW!) that shows a gay man talking about how he has sex at the gym. It is quite common and if you were in the men’s locker room, you’d be aware of this. Particularly at the YMCA.
5) Travel: adultery when it happens, mostly happens outside the home. Many men use business trips for this purpose. Whether it’s gay or straight, it happens during travel. Differential is not adding anything to this idea here.
6) Not all females are sassy, but you certainly exhibit a bit of back talk when you post here.
7) A men who specifically goes shirtless in the company of other men should raise eyebrows. There is a type of guy who does this during the warm months, and you can see it at barbecues, etc. They drink beer and wrestle, etc. Women don’t have to be present for this to happen.
Thanks for the questions! I hope this clears up your confusion.

As Claire pointed out, where ARE your credentials? It’s ridiculous to claim you’re an investigative journalist and not have any… especially since investigative journalists conduct research (no this does not mean asking for anecdotes from a handful of women in your community) and deliver the TRUTH, which is completely absent in this article.

This says nothing about the number of gay man *currently* married to women. It only talks about *currently or previously* married couples. There might only be 1 million, 10,000 or none currently (yes, this is unlikely, but I don’t know the answer any more than you do).

Blind surveys taken from a sample of what population? I can’t imagine Kinsey got people to open too easily about their private sex lives and it took years to collect his data, along with trust and compassion. Somehow I don’t see people being honest with someone as inflammatory as Ted Haggard and some congressman. Aside from a non-reputable source, which lacked its own sources to begin with (shame on ABC news!- have they heard of peer-reviewed scientific psychology journals? The answer to that will probably make me sad), the rest of your article is full of stereotypes and hatred. Of course it can’t be easy for a family that is dealing with a husband or wife coming out. But you sound as if homosexuals are barely human and are just out to hurt their poor defenseless stupid wives. Remember that underneath your bigotry, there are real people who love each other, even if it’s in a way you don’t understand, and they don’t need venom. You may think you’re helping, but do you really think telling women that their husbands lied to them and didn’t care if they hurt them is helping? It’s hard enough.

As an actual practicing journalist who does investigative work, among other types and who’s been asked to speak in front of professional journalism groups and graduate schools of journalism, I’ll take issue with your article on strict journalistic grounds. (I dropped by because I know a lot of professional writers who are mocking the poor quality of the reporting.)

Just as likely, if not more so, that one man is trying to establish pack dominance. Talk to any competent psychologist. Drinking beer and wrestling is supposed to be gay activity? My, you are really out to see without a paddle of reason at your side. You're so insistent on finding a gay under your pillow that you look at only one explanation. Or perhaps, with your apparent fear of types of contact that are actually normal among males, you are subconsciously worried about being gay yourself and so projecting.
That's neither here nor there, but it does completely undercut the article and your claim to be an investigative journalist. Until you're ready to question yourself, you're not ready to go to print.

Might I mention that this is not, actually, a source. You’re just passing the burden of proof to the writers of the article, and relying on the fact that ABC is a well-known news group to get people to ignore the flimsy ‘facts’ within the article.
The quote you provided was also making your same argument without providing proof:
“Along with other high-profile examples such as evangelist leader Ted Haggard and former Congressman Mike Huffington…”
Let’s set aside the fact that these people are highly biased and far from being capable of making any form of objective judgment. This statement relies on the “high-profile”, or status, of the individual as opposed to the credibility. Being a former-congressman does not make you an expert on sociological studies of homosexual behavior in heterosexual relationships. If anything, it makes you an expert on pretending to be an expert.
And, while theoretically possible that there is an expert of such caliber in the unidentified group to which ex-congressman Huffington and Evangelist leader Haggard belong, the fact that these well-known individuals were used to establish an air of credulity instead of a credible sociologist begs the question “why?”
I say because they probably didn’t have one.
“…there are an estimated 2 million to 4 million…”
Estimated? By whom? And is the number 2 million, 4 million, or somewhere in-between?
To start with, an estimation is nothing more than a guess; a statement made when there is not enough information to give a reliable answer that can be backed up with factual evidence.
Also, who made the estimate? The sentence alludes to the aforementioned group of random people as the ones making the estimate without actually saying that they said it. This, alone, would be reason enough to doubt the credulity of the statement.
Finally, where did the ever-present “they” get the number? What study shows that these numbers are anywhere near accurate? I’m sure even rudimentary grasp of the concept of a million shows that the gap between 2 and 4 million is mind-bogglingly huge. This large of a difference is obviously an attempt to cover all the bases. It’s like throwing a needle into a haystack and saying “somewhere in that haystack is a needle”.
Any critical-thinker could take any of these points and see that this is just a wild guess that some politician came up with to back up his own opinion instead of putting forward any effort to find real facts.
I’m not saying that there aren’t families that have this problem, because chances are that there are, but if you intend to prove it, you had better have something more than just “chances are”.
I also want to say that you should think more critically of what you read. To call this article a “source” is blatantly ignoring what a source is. A source is where the facts came from. the article you quote merely mentions a source, vague though it is. That means that it is not a source in and of itself. It makes no mention of a study or even a single hard fact.
As an investigative journalist, you have obviously failed in investigating anything involving this source. You have merely quoted another article instead of any scientific findings or facts. I ask that you start to critically think about what you read, ask for sources, and don’t act on findings unless they’ve been repeated reliably. This, alone, will improve your work as an “investigative journalist” to a level that will make you worthy of your (probably) self-given title.

I, a heterosexual female, go to the gym because I want to work out my body but I don’t personally care for sports. I know a lot of guys, gay AND straight, who do the same. I know straight men who go to the gym to work out because they would like to play sports, but don’t have the time or aren’t able to commit. And I know gay men who are athletes. Personally, I’m insulted that you would like the gym to be only a place for athletes. America has a huge problem with people being overweight, and if anything we should encourage people to go to the gym, not give the impression that guys who go to the gym and don’t play sports are likely gay.
“As for the sex part, I have a link in the article (NSFW!) that shows a gay man talking about how he has sex at the gym. It is quite common and if you were in the men’s locker room, you’d be aware of this. Particularly at the YMCA.”
I went to a (Christian) middle school where the principal took advantage of his position in order to have a sexual relationship with one of the FEMALE students. I could cite articles that refer to this, and find you a few incidents from other schools where this happened. By your logic, because I know one guy who did this and can cite an article about it, clearly there needs to be panic that schoolteachers are molesting girls at every Christian school. And unlike you, I have personal experience in the matter because I went to the school at the time it happened. Your source is “one guy on a NSFW site said.” Even if gay sex was rampant in gym locker rooms, you can find even SFW sites where straight people claim to have had sex in places like the beach, a park, restaurant bathrooms, even Disneyland. Sex happens, gay or straight. Hide your kids, everyone, people are obviously getting it on in the Haunted Mansion at any given time.

You may read this drivel and comprehend it as satire because you realise how ridiculous it is.
The really sad thing is that there are people out there that believe these things. And not only do they believe it, but they spread it like a virus. And people out there listen to it and accept these ideas as truth and continue to spread the hate. It’s disgusting. I’d be interested to know how many homosexual people the author has as friends, or maybe not friends, but acquaintances. Does he say these hateful words to their face? Or are they not worth recognizing as contributing members of this society, because of their sexual preferences that they were BORN with? Heaven forbid.
It’s funny, because when I read this it makes me wonder what it was like back when racism was so accepted in society that people of color had to sit in a different section than those with white skin, and they were prohibited from going into stores or going to the same schools. It used to be said that people of colour were dirty and disease-filled and not equal to the whites. We know that to be untrue now, but back when it was happening, the people who said it really believed it to be true. I don’t doubt that Mr Billings believes himself to be right. And with freedom of speech, I can’t say that he shouldn’t have posted this “article” because that same freedom allows me to make my points as well. I wonder, however, if the gays *were* as easily identified by the colour of their skin, what would the world be like with people like this in it?

But if this is satire, it’s played too straight. Stereotypes and absurd topics do not satire make. It’s too close to the real attitudes of many people, so it’s indistinguishable from those attitudes. A sad state of affairs, but that’s how it is.

This author’s tone in his responses to commenters, along with the tone of other authors on this site, strongly suggests to me that nothing here is satire. Yes, it’s outrageous. It’s comical to most readers.
But if this is satire, it’s played too straight. Stereotypes and absurd topics do not satire make. It’s too close to the real attitudes of many people, so it’s indistinguishable from those attitudes. A sad state of affairs, but that’s how it is.
I would really like to believe this is satire, but… Everything on this site is so reflective of beliefs held by people I know that I can’t bring myself to believe it is satire.
What might convince me is the trumped-up alarm in many of the articles here. Such as in “Do Gay Pets Go To Heaven”… But it’s less ridiculous than the real trumped-up alarm spread by Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, etc. Satire is supposed to expose absurdity by exaggerating the real situation. This site, if meant to be humor, understates reality.

The married men partaking in the aforementioned activites could be straight and using many of the points above as a cover for an affair with a woman.
Women also frequent gyms, women might be impressed by bare torsos, etc.
Also, lets assume that the husband is partaking in homosexual activites. That doesn’t make him gay, the could be bisexual, in which case it’s basically the same as an affair with a woman; he could still be interested in the wife, but just likes to sleep around, i.e. the marriage could saved with work.
To summarize, your post is full of non-sequiturs, you don’t explore any of the significanly more likely reasons behind those “signs,” and you don’t cite any sources for any of your data. This gives the reader the impression of a distinct lack of credibility or knowledge about the subject at hand.

Actually, gays have been around a lot longer than white men in the South. Something about those Roman baths, I believe.
On the other hand, using “honey” in a demeaning and patronizing term is something no southern gentleman would do, particularly while nit-picking such a harmless hyphenating error as “non-sequitor,” and given your propensity for spelling and grammatical errors.
You’re clearly not a reporter, an investigator, or a Christian (such hate!); yet you’re clearly fascinated with and obsessed by gay men. I’d like to refer you to this article in Psychology Today, which conclusively indicates that “Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.”
https://www.psychologytoday.com/files/u47/Henry_et_al.pdf:
“Is Homophobia Associated With Homosexual Arousal?
Henry E. Adams, Lester W. Wright, Jr., and Bethany A. Lohr, University of Georgia
The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980).”
If this article is insufficient for you, may I suggest you use Google to investigate 470,000 responses to “homophobic homosexual.”

Sadly no, it’s simply a filthy list of stereotypes too ludicrous to be worthy of detailed comment. Pretty hilarious though, especially the idea that anything other than missionary sex (lubricants???) is an indication of pathology and gayness.
But this has nothing whatever to do of the sad case where gay men, following the dictates of misled psuedo-experts and ministers, deny their true god-given nature and commit the sin of heterosexual marriage, depriving themselves and their spouses of a truly loving relationship.

Neal, Christians have been affected by homosexuality just as any other large group in the United States. I don’t think Christians are immune to societal problems, we also have people of faith struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction. It’s not something to joke about, but rather an issue that should be addressed seriously, For families, it has often ended tragically and that is not something I find humor in.

You don’t know anything about raising a family, or being a parent, and you’re so out of touch with society nowadays, there’s no way in hell your ‘advice’ can work. People who have issues with homosexuality are nothing but relics of the past who refuse to change because the idea was beaten into their skulls by their parents. You make EVERYTHING seem like a damn epidemic that’s some sudden surge all over the world. All of a sudden, men are just becoming gay, and in your retarded little world, you think they’re trying amass an army.

Several ways to look at this. Perhaps being married to an uptight Christian woman has turned this male gay. Perhaps he’s not gay at all and has just taken to finding other women to be with, as he’s tired of being with his uptight Christian wife who’s constantly assuming he’s gay.
I would also like to point out that most of the points in this “article” are nothing more than mere assumptions with no scientific backing what-so-ever. They’re not even legitimate “Old Wive’s Tales” as opposed to “pulling something general out of your ass” at the last second. Indeed, this article reeks of not only being unprofessional, but also ignorance, and not to mention plain old bigotry.
I would suggest you investigate a ‘bit more into the gay lifestyle before assuming such things as these. Then again, what the hell am I saying? This is a website dedicated to the worshipers of a divine zombie. May you feast upon his flesh and drink of his blood.

Welcome to the internet good sir, where not everything you read or encounter is the “truth”. Not to mention most of what you’re dealing with would be “young people” on a person-to-person basis. Those being young, confused, and no identity of their own and still trying to “figure” things out. I would hardly call that experience with “dealing” with gay people. You might also want to think about if most of the gay people who you “encountered” were just messing with you for the “lulz”. I’m just saying, consider your sources.
As far as not commenting to my posts if I’m going to be childish, well I’m going to be honest I was hoping to get a bit of a rile out of ya.

You may even toss the “spiritual leaders” in there as well, if you’d like but I’ll be honest in saying I’ll have a hard time believing anything that they say or believe in.
I also concur, you don’t need to answer to me. I am merely an anonymous poster in the online world of anonymity and I prefer to keep it that way.
My reading comprehension is fine, good sir. As far as what you’re writing about scaring me? Good job using your “research” in such a way! Why, yes I do in fact dress semi-nice and like to have my shirt off in public! I also cry sometimes. Does this make me gay? According to this article it does.
If I thought this was a real “issue” for married women, I probably wouldn’t laugh at it. However, if you’re going to marry someone one fundamental thing in marriage is “communication”. If you don’t or have never had that, you probably shouldn’t get married. If you want my personal opinion (which I’m sure you don’t) I’d have to say that if you think your husbands “gay” you’ve got a whole lot of other problems going on in the marriage other than “sexual preference”. In fact, most of your “points” make for a more likely “cheating” spouse, than a gay one.
In all seriousness with other articles such as “Why Do Rabbits rape Cats?”, “I Am Extremely Terrified of Chinese People”, and the ever popular “How To Spot A Masturbator” it’s fairly obvious this is satire and I’ve been duped. Kudos, you can have your nanner now.

I’m sorry to repeat myself to you once again, but the links are up there at the bottom of my article. They LINK to works written by psychologists (such as Dr. James Dobson) as well as others. Here is the most relevant one for the discussion at hand from Focus on the Family. I think the advice about asking your spouse for a HIV test is quite important and these are the sorts of facts women need to arm themselves with.

Okay, this is just getting ridiculous. If you want people to take you seriously, you need to stop calling everyone that disagrees with you childish. Every time you say it, it only makes you sound like you have no argument (which you probably don’t) and you are just trying to discredit them by comparing them to a child. But in all honesty, if any one of the people you called childish truly was so, they probably wouldn’t care about you or your so-called article because children don’t really care about any of this. Anyone who is offended enough by your hateful article to comment on it in an attempt to point out its flaws (of which there are many) has already demonstrated that they are mature enough to care about these issues and therefore, are not comparable to a child. It’s rude, it’s untrue, and all it is is an attempt to deflect away from the fact that you can’t argue what they’re saying.

If you have any specific comments to make, rather than your childish and vague accusations, I will be glad to hear them. Otherwise, I suggest you take this issue a bit more seriously or else go back to playing computer games in your mother’s basement. //
I understand you may have experience of WRITING your own biased “articles” about the gay lifestyle, but you clearly have no experience about gay lifestyle at all. As a gay male myself I can tell you that you are barking at the wrong tree. You are basing your article on sources that are questionable at very best, and pass the burden of proof to the original writers of the article. That is not investigative journalism. I daresay this article is more of an expression of your own biased and hateful opinion than investigative journalism, and as such, irrelevant.
Please, do not claim to be an investigating journalist if you haven’t researched the gay lifestyle in an unbiased, objective way. To be an investigating journalist you’d need to be critical about your sources and be able to question them, rather than only pick the ones that support your own biased view and quote them every time you need to defend your claim.
But thanks for the chuckles, I really had fun reading your “article”. It was so indistinguishable from satire it was actually funny, in a way. Funny because in Finland, where I live I can be pretty open about my homosexuality and live a normal life without having to worry about people like yourself.
That is all I have to say. Have a nice day.

Stephenson’s 15 points may not be pin-point perfect, but they give the wife who has been tricked into marriage by a homosexual man a place to begin and sort out the pieces of the puzzle. Other journalists and experts on this subject who are quite liberal have also come up with similar identifying points as Stephenson Billings.
I am shocked, yes SHOCKED, at the callousness and insensitivity of so many of the negative comments. NOT ONE OF YOU CAME UP WITH A MORE THOUGHTFUL IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTIC for a woman in this troubled situation to help her through this problem. She deserves our pity, and help.

How about feeling sorry for both spouses. The man doesn’t marry the woman to “hide” his sexuality, he marry’s her because he does love her…..novel concept? How about checking into history and the homophobia and abuse gay men and women have had to endure.
I know gay men and lesbians who married, because it was excpected of them by society. Society’s views on being gay 30+ years ago are viewed in a totally different, accepting light than what they now are. Most gay men who did what society expected, did what was expected of them by their families 30+ years ago didn’t marry their spouse to “hide” their sexuality. They truly loved their respective spouse, went on to the dream of the white picket fence, a home and children. If you check out the “kinsey scale” most gay men would identify in the middle or bi-sexual in their 20′s and into their 30′s even 40+’s. Just to be sure you have no doubts…..even gay men can be sexually aroused by a woman. At 20, a man is in his prime and can achieve an erection watching 2 squirrels going at it. They aren’t out having same sex relationships any more than heterosexual couples cheat on their spouses.
All you are doing is proving that you are an incredibly ignorant, homophobic, individual, who does not have the faintest clue about the subject. Just for your information, men and women don’t “become” gay/lesbian, or “choose” to be gay/lesbian they are born with their sexuality already formed.
If you want to watch a true story, of a young man struggling with accepting that he is homosexual I would recommend you watch “Prayers for Bobby”. It certainly shines a new perspective on the scriptures of the bible, which incidently was written by man, in the language of the times…..alot of the words no longer hold the same meaning.
If you are a christian, never forget that God made us all, therefore God loves us all as we are, for who we are.
You have no right to sit in judgement of anybody. I am gay, married for over 27 years to a fantastic lady. I came out to her 2 1/2 years ago. I didn’t go to gym’s for anonymous sex, I didn’t strut around without my shirt, flirting with all the boys. Talk about stereotyping!
I did what society and family expected of me 30 years ago because of ignorant, homophobic people like you. If society’s views were then as they are now, I would not have married a woman, but I would certainly pray that my wife was one of my best friends, which she would be, without question. Were staying together, were best of friends and she thinks the world of my boyfriend!
Ignorance, bigotry, hatred all lead to more of the same…perhaps you should really do some investigating and stop spouting your hatred and homophobia.
YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED!!

When I read this article I could not stop laughing. I’m not even sure what to say! I am a Christian, and this was disappointing to me. I don’t think that you can determine someone else’s sexuality based on a check list. I don’t think that giving people “signs” to look for in their marriage is helpful. I think it’s more confusing than anything. Here are a few things I believe, as a Christian. I believe homosexuality is wrong. But I also believe adultery is wrong. I’m not sure if you can help who you’re attracted to. Is it so much worse for a man to cheat on his wife with another man than with another woman? I believe God loves us reguardless of the choices we make. I believe that He forgives when one repents. And I believe that when Christ died, His death covered EVERYONE’S mistakes and sins and screw-ups.
I don’t think this article was meant spew hatred. I actually think that Billings was trying to be sincere and help people (particularly women) navigate through what could potentially be rough waters. I don’t really agree with the article, but I also don’t think it deserves the reaction it’s been getting. Your opinions and beliefs differ… leave it at that. The name calling and the anger I’ve read in so many of these replies makes me feel bad and I didn’t even write the thing!!
Bottom line for me is this: You cannot TRULY love God, and hate someone else. I believe that with my whole heart. Mock me if you want, but I believe the Bible to be truth. I don’t look to someone else to form my opinions, I look to Christ and the example He set for me and I look to the Bible for the words to live by. I am a sinner and completely unworthy of love, so are you. But that’s the beauty of grace.

Mr. Billings, I sure hope that you don’t consider yourself a professional journalist. This article does ABSOLUTELY nothing for a married woman besides stating the obvious that she’s already suspecting. The article you posted might as well have come from a 1960′s church program insert. What you are doing on behalf of “religion” is no different than what Senator Joeseph McCarthy did back in the 1950′s for people who may be a communist. So, when you do find a husband who is potentially gay, are you going to sit him in front of a church query and drill him with questions of “Do you go to the gym a lot?”, or “Do you like to keep a tidy home?”? They had a similar incident called The Salem Witch Trials and that didn’t do anything at all about stopping the spread of pagan ideas to the new world.
Your “article” will absolutely do nothing to evolve the human race. I believe that you should turn that soap box that you’re standing on into a boat and paddle to a new island where you can keep your 60 year old ideals and values. For the sake of possibly contacting extraterrestrial life, DO NOT broadcast these messages into space, enough bigotry and irrational ideas are in this world today.

Sir, I find it rather ironic that on your very public facebook profile, under your Likes and Interests, you list that you like Dolly Pardon which is a well known gay cultural icon, Betty White who is one of the Golden Girls, and Jersey Shore (well I’m not sure how much more wrapped up in pop culture you can get with that show). You also express an interest in photography as well as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. With knowing those two things, one could speculate that you were photographing young unsuspecting athletes. And by reading the headlines today, those pictures are being used to fuel older men’s secret desires to have sexual intercourse with other boys. Right there are four signs that you may be a homosexual. One, maybe two could be excused. Three would present a general concern. However, I have identified four alone and I’m not even married to you. Perhaps you are somehow admitting to the world that you have secret homosexual tendencies and if you are, then I suggest that you speak to your pastor about that instead of trying to pawn off to the world that everyone else who has similar interests is gay, but you are not.

Thank you for the interesting comment! I think the issue that you fail to understand is that once you’re ensconced in a marriage it’s hard to see the forest for the trees, in other words it’s hard to find some foundation of reality on which to base your suspicions. It really depends on the person, but some women are too paranoid, others too oblivious. If they have a husband who is not faithful to them, there are genuinely signs! Even if a man regularly engages in intimacy with his wife, he can still be homosexual. Many gay men have strong libidos and regular sex with a woman does not undermine the fact they could be gay. I meant this article to be a starting point for the conversation, a way for women to start engaging this question seriously but with tact. There are things women should look for, they need the advice from professionals about where to start– gossip and innuendo does not help them!
As a side note, many state how incredibly important it is to protect yourself from disease and financial difficulties. If you suspect your husband is gay, you need to demand that he get an HIV test along with the other STD tests. And either accompany him or demand to see documented and signed proof of the results. The wife needs to get herself tested as well. What if, in this case, the woman is pregnant? If her husband is cheating with men, don’t you think she should know for the sake of her child? Diseases can also pass through breast milk! And having a husband with so many secrets can also endanger the welfare of the family’s children or nephews, etc. This is not something to be taken lightly, though most of the commenters here are acting with immaturity. I’m sorry to be blunt here, but I truly believe in protecting the sanctity of marriage and the health of the family.

Hi Wendy, I have used my membership to certain Face Book groups as an investigative tool in the past for articles that I’m writing. I have written extensively on The Golden Girls and am not a fan of that show. As for Dolly Parton, she is a great Southern singer and I do not think many people in the South would ever consider her a “gay icon” but if those people want to send her their money then so be it.
As for sports, I’m not sure why you have a problem with them. They’re great ways for kids to build character and to stay fit.
In any event, I do realize the whole Face Book thing is confusing and frankly I should go back in there and delete those things but that’s not always easy and dealing with it is sort of a job I was hoping an intern could take on. I do understand your concern and will add it to my “To Do” list.

Or are you simply an advocate for the homosexual agenda clicking on a Christian website to promote hostility? In either case, I don’t have much respect for someone who is dishonest. And yes, sodomy is a sin. That is well know by every Christian, if you happen to be one. As for homosexuals and gym use, there are literally hundreds of sites that discuss this.

As a Christian, I am extremely ashamed to read this article. Homosexuality has become a hot-button issue that you and many other Christians are using to divide and accuse others of having deeper sins than our own. I find it nearly impossible to win in discussions with non-believers when they point out the highly-offensive finger-pointing that is occurring that blatantly opposes the teachings of love and working together. It is no surprise that Christians are under attack more than ever; because we Christians are preaching hate instead of love more than ever.
Stephenson, many of your comments here are just as offensive and ridiculing as those who disagree with your beliefs. Do you think God would be proud to read this article, full of stereotyped beliefs? Do you think God would appreciate tongue-in-cheek remarks such as ” I am a better man than that. I am sorry you are not.”, or “I’m sure there are exceptions, but there’s no need to get pissy about it.”
I advise you to look into your heart and think what God wants you to do. I often hear a verse from Leviticus used to incriminate and judge homosexuals; but what of this other verse from the very same book? 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
Please think more wisely about your decisions to divide and judge others in your path for righteousness. And do not speak in God’s name for articles such as these; God is about life and love, not about racking up dollars in advertising on a website. Know that only God may judge; and He will not forget an article such as this.

Of course, if you ever met me (which, praise God, you won’t), you might assume I was due to my immense level of dislike reserved for you. ALTHOUGH OF COURSE, that must make me gay, to satisfy your blanket statements.
As for the whole “sodomy is a sin” bit you added in there, I have no issue with your belief in that. I know plenty of Christians who believe it and plenty of Christians ( both homosexual *AND* heterosexual ) who don’t.

“For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.” –Romans 1:26–28

So I take it that there’s no issue with a woman being gay in a marriage situation? Good, then my husband will be greatly pleased that God looks down on male homosexuality, but not lesbians!
And just a note, just because a woman dates men that turn out to be gay, does not mean there is anything wrong with her or that she is looking for a shopping buddy. I’ve dated my share of bisexual man and it’s because in a relationship, one person is usually more feminine than the other. I usually am the “masculine” one… God made me this way, do you think God made a mistake? I’m sure you do…

Heres a new stereotype for you : clean cut, christian male, married family man, GAY. Thats what I automatically think whenever I hear someone is into Jesus and family these days, especially using “christian only” terminology like “SSA”. If you’re gay, just accept it and move on.

I believe homosexuality in a heterosexual marriage is a serious issue. Women facing this problem do not always know where to turn. They have fears and suspicions. I have simply provided them with a checklist of things to look for, very similar to what Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family has written. Very close to what other formerly married women who have been through this have written. Why do you have a problem with that? Is homosexuality not a sin in the eyes of the Lord? How does an honest and frank look at homosexuality and marriage become such a crime in your eyes? Are we to leave women suffering from this sort of crisis alone and unaided? That’s simply cruel and I am a better man than that. I am sorry you are not.

If I were married to a man who turned out to be gay, you are the last person I would turn to for help! These women need the support of their friends and family, not some anonymous internet blogger who keeps going on about how homosexuality is a “societal problem” and a sin!
(Citations: “Christians have been affected by homosexuality just as any other large group in the United States. I don’t think Christians are immune to societal problems” -Stephenson Billings, Aug. 16 2010 “Is homosexuality not a sin in the eyes of the Lord?” -Stephenson Billings, Aug. 17, 2010)
Have you every thought about the fact that maybe, just maybe, these women don’t want to be told that they married the scum of the earth? That it might be more comforting to hear about how it’s natural for some men to be gay and there’s nothing anyone can do about it? Or how about the fact that their gay husband was born that way and it isn’t her fault that he likes men? No one is suggesting that we refuse to help women who are having a hard time dealing with the fact that their husbands are gay. We’re suggesting is that you aren’t helping at all!

And on top of all that, it shows us a group of underdogs who work hard to achieve their goals. And besides, in comparison to an actual high school, (or even middle school) the show is about as clean as it gets. The people who consider it to be inappropriate only dislike it because it deals with real issues that teenagers have.

I just want to thank Stephenson for this wonderful article. I had recently suspected my husband of cheating on me. He was always doing suspicious things at night on the computer, and spending long evenings at the gym.
After reading the article I decided to dig a little deeper; looking into his internet history etc… I discovered my husband WAS in fact looking at homosexual pornography. I confronted him about this and he denied it, claiming that it must have been a pop up that he accidentally clicked on.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt however when I found used condoms in his gym bag I realized something was wrong. The whole experience was really traumatizing but in the end I’m glad to know the truth.
This article helped me understand and find the signs that pointed out my husbands wicked ways. I only hope that it can do the same for other women.

He will not change and will only become more secretive and self destructive with himself and you. Please keep your eyes wide open and know this “phase” is not a phase. It is real and cannot be UNtaught. Thankfully he has been using condoms. Without disrespect to your faith please consider seeking the help of couples therapy without a religious slant.

Do you realize the disservice you are doing to Christ? Most of the comments on this website have received more praise when they defame you and your character. You are turning people off to religion with your blanket statements. Each person is an individual. Do you think Jesus would have been looking to create a ten step method to generalizing your husband’s behaviors? If Jesus wouldn’t be doing this, it is not an invitation for you to do so. You are putting out articles that are in fact working against Christ most of the time. I think it is time that you think long and hard about the impact you are having “in the name of Christ.” Instead of looking at ways others can improve their lives and live for god, maybe you should take some time and examine what you can change about your own life to serve God.

Isn’t the greatest commandment “love one another”? How can preachers say they love when there is sooooo much HATE coming out of their mouths? Is it because this “sin” isn’t “there” sin, or the “popular” sin? Or is it because THEY STRUGGLE WITH IT THEMSELVES and they lash out in frustration just not to be found out? How do I know that? BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I DID until i stopped lying to myself, to my family and friends and most importantly TO GOD!!!!! HE is not afraid of homosexuals, HE LOVES THEM!!! And NO I don’t believe homosexuality is a sin, if you dig (like a preacher) into the word of God you will see the TRUTH preachers just don’t want to see it!!

Mr. Billings,
I am reposting my response as I responded to a previous post by another individual in error.
How about feeling sorry for both spouses. The man doesn’t marry the woman to “hide” his sexuality, he marry’s her because he does love her…..what a novel concept? How about checking into history and the homophobia and abuse gay men and women have had to endure over the centuries. In some countries being gay means a death sentence. Do you actually believe gay/lesbians would “choose” to be gay?
I know gay men and lesbians who married, because it was expected of them by society, by their family and by their friends. Society’s views on being gay 30+ years ago have changed significantly. Our youth today could really care less and the majority are very accepting of people who are “gay or lesbian”. With the exception of the youth who are taught hatred and intolerance by people like you!
Most gay men did what society expected (in my generation), did what was expected of them by their families 30+ years ago. They didn’t marry their spouse to “hide” their sexuality. What a ridiculous, misinformed line of thinking. They truly loved their respective spouse, went on to the dream of the white picket fence, a home and children. If you check out the “kinsey scale” most gay men would identify in the middle or bi-sexual in their 20’s and into their 30’s even 40+’s. Just to be sure you have no doubts…..most gay men can be sexually aroused by a woman. With possibly the exception of the men and women at the top of the kinsey scale. Suggest you take the test, who knows what you may discover about yourself? At 20, a man is in his sexual prime and can achieve an erection watching 2 rabbits going at it.
All you are doing is proving that you are an incredibly ignorant, homophobic, individual, who does not have the faintest clue about the subject. Just for your information, men and women don’t “become” gay/lesbian, or “choose” to be gay/lesbian they are born with their sexuality already formed. There is also a theory that it may be genetic.
If you want to watch a true story, of a young man struggling with accepting that he is homosexual back in the late 70′s into the early 80′s I would recommend you watch the movie “Prayers for Bobby”. Sigourney Weaver won an emmy award for best actress for her performance depicting Bobby’s mother and her struggle and ultimate acceptance of gay and lesbian people. It certainly shines a new perspective on the scriptures of the bible, which incidently was written by man, in the language of the times…..alot of the words no longer hold the same meaning.
If you are a christian, never forget that God made us all, therefore God loves us all as we are, for who we are.
You have no right to sit in judgement of anybody. I am gay, married for over 27 years to a fantastic lady. I came out to her 2 1/2 years ago. I didn’t go to gym’s for anonymous sex, I didn’t strut around without my shirt, flirting with all the boys. Talk about stereotyping!
I did what society, friends and family expected of me 30 years ago because of ignorant, homophobic people like you. If society’s views were then as they are now, I would not have married a woman, but I would certainly pray that my wife was one of my best friends, which she would be, without question. Were staying together, were best of friends and she thinks the world of my boyfriend!
Ignorance, bigotry, hatred all lead to more of the same…perhaps you should really do some investigating and stop spouting your hatred and homophobia. Educate yourself, learn about the subject. Get your facts straight. Stop spreading hatred, bigotry and ignorance. Actually do some research, you’d probably be amazed at what you might learn, if your capable of setting aside your fears and intolerance. It is the 21st century.

And Stevie, for someone so bent on ‘helping the family’ and ‘wanting to protect the children’, you sure have some nerve in saying those things when you’re not married, nor do you have children. You seem to think that you know a lot about parenting when you’re not around children often enough to be an actual parent.

Then provide resources for her to deal with the upcoming changes to one of the most significant relationships of her life – THOSE are the important facts that an investigative journalist with any kind of heart would have provided.

Clearly you’re a “journalist” who lacks the ability to see his mistake. Take a look at the third sentence in your second paragraph:
“Maybe he’s just using you as unwitting cover as he seeks playmates in the heterosexual world.”
Why would a gay man use marriage to seek “playmates in the HETEROSEXUAL world?” But no, you’re perfect and don’t make mistakes. That error had me laughing off the bat.
I don’t buy the “I can’t make any edits once I’ve submitted my rubbish” excuse. The host where my sports blog entries are posted allows me to edit. In fact very few sites with such a set up would prevent its members from fixing their mistakes, whether spelling, grammar or content.

Hi Tess, yes that’s precisely what I meant and it is not a mistake as you so quickly assume. The homosexual secreted away in traditional marriage seeks other men in the “heterosexual world,” by which I mean, in essence, that he is seeking other men who have same-sex desires but who would otherwise identify as “straight”. This is not a typo, though it surprises me you are so giddy at the prospect.
As for the editing process, please direct your questions to the tech dept. of this website. I submit my articles for publication and the times we have edited them, it has resulted in resetting the publication from the beginning. I am not technophile, and though I appreciate your input, you are obviously not familiar with the particulars in this case.

The phrase “seek[ing] playmates in the heterosexual world” implies that this man would be looking for WOMEN. The word “heterosexual” relates to individuals of opposing gender.
For you to insist that this sentence is written the way you intended belies a lack of understanding of English words and phrasing. Had you meant the this man was looking for other MEN, you should have written “seeks playmates in the homosexual world”.

To lie with another man is an abomination and is punishable by death. No where in the bible does it state that it is a sin. An abomination does not mean sin it simply means unclean. This post may not have anything to do with the article it’s self but you cliam to be a christian, there for you are above homosexuals? Well let me just point out a few things i’m sure you yourself have done that are a sin.
Ever eaten a porkchop or played football? as posted, the only men that should be in a gym are atheltes?
Leviticus 11:8- “You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.”
So to all the athletes in the gym and that play football, you should all burn in hell because you touched a football and you probably ate a porkchop or ribs at a tailgate.
Leviticus 19:19 reads, “You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.”
So you go ahead and tell all of the farmers in america that if they plant two seeds side by side they’re going to burn in hell. And i can guarantee that the clothes you have on your back are made of more than one material.
Deuteronomy 23:2 reads, “No one of illegitimate birth shall enter the assembly of the Lord; none of his descendants, even to the tenth generation, shall enter the assembly of the Lord.”
So what does this tell our children who want to reach out to God for guidance? Well sorry but your great great grandmother had a child out of wedlock, so you are a banned from the church?
Timothy 2:9- “Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments.”
So you’re telling me that every person that has a gold wedding band, the symbol of marriage, or women who wear pearl earings are going to burn in hell?
Leviticus 11:10 reads, “But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you.”
So all of the people are eating shrimp or lobster are going to burn in hell?
Most of these posts are from the old testament, which christians don’t consider to be law. If you’re going to ignore most of the book of leviticus and the do’s and dont’s of the word of god, why not ignore the passage in Leviticus 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”
You people that are “Christians” need to open your eyes and see that most of the things you do are indeed a sin, whether it follows the laws of god or not! I was born and raised Catholic, therefore, i had to study the bible, and learn the bible and understand the bible. So you tell me where in the bible, God says, it is a SIN to lie with another man. I’m a proud gay man, and i find that everything you write is bigotry and nonsense. Maybe you should actually READ the bible yourself and not go off your statistics and articles, and go by the word of god, because as far as i’m concerned, you don’t know shit about the bible. And as far as my references go? My reference IS the holy bible it’s self! So in the words of Matthew 7:1- Judge not lest ye be judged for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. So follow the bible, or in the words of me “BURN IN HELL!!”

It’s so sad that gay men end up marrying women. It’s sad for their wives, who end up suspicious and unloved. It’s sad for the men, who feel they have to sneak about and hide who they really are. It’s sad for their kids, who have to endure unhappy parents. So why don’t we just stop pressuring gay men to marry women in the first place and let them be gay without making them feel bad about themselves. Then no one ends up in an unhappy marriage. By being so anti-gay, you force young gay men into marriages that they can’t sustain – and make everyone unhappy.
I just don’t get why Christians, who claim to love people, have to be so hateful. Homosexuality is different to what you’re used to – I get that. But why must you insist on seeing it as a bad thing. 10% of people are gay. Always have been, always will be. So just leave them alone and get on with your own life.

Stephenson, I’m openly gay and either I’m very unlucky or just don’t get out enough! I go to gyms and none of that stuff happens. Besides, I wouldn’t do it with a guy I’d just met in a “steam room” – they could have any number of STDs. I’d want to get to know them first, and beds are way more comfortable as a rule. And cigarettes? Eww… Then again I live in a country where 87% of people don’t smoke and it’s seen as a bit of a social marker – only poor people who we call “bogans” do it. As for wanting to smell nice … it couldn’t possibly be that no woman in her right mind will date someone with bad BO, could it? And as for the body hugging stuff, if you’ve got it, flaunt it – but I sure as hell don’t have it. I prefer people to ignore my overweightness.
My mates go to Bali every so often for a week at a time but the only people I ever see them with in their voluminous Facebook photos are fellow Australian tourists of the opposite sex. And I know plenty of alcoholic straight men – gay guys are often way more career focused as they dont have family and etc to hold them back – and some of course don’t want to think about being gay all the time especially if they’re single and dateless so throw all their energy into their work.
There are Christian gay men, I know a few, and they’d most definitely be attentive and interested in spiritual issues and church – Id imagine most who go to church and feign an interest are actually agnostics who want to keep their wife / other members of their family happy.
I have a couple of younger friends but I’m obviously missing something as I only get quick hello and goodbye hugs and certainly never get any gifts apart from joke birthday cards, let alone expensive ones. I should demand more cologne. I don’t even use cologne, I use Axe/Lynx, but hey – I can sell it on Ebay I guess.
And Australia’s alternative prime minister, a staunch anti-gay Catholic man married with kids, is frequently enough seen in speedos on a beach in full public view (often on national TV) that there’s jokes about it. I don’t know how he would react if you were to tell him he’s a raving homosexual, especially given he says he feels “threatened” by gay people, who he believes “challenge the natural order of things”. I’m not sure if he said these things in speedos or out of them.
So yes, a bit of an odd one.

This is truly disappointing article.
I won’t bother going through your 15 points, as others have destroyed them pretty efficiently. Though I would query your preface to those points. You said the 15 points were drawn from “the expertise of spiritual and medical professionals”.
I’m calling b/s on that. Not one of those points sounded like it came from a ‘medical professional’. And who the heck knows what a ‘spiritual professional’ is, but it didn’t sound like the points came from them either. More likely, these were 15 points off the top of your head, or perhaps gathered over a dinner-table discussion with your prayer group.
Instead, I’d like to challenge your opening paragraphs. That’s the most disappointing part of this whole rubbish article.
You write:
“are you oblivious to a problem that could be putting your health and the livelihood of your family at risk”
You don’t state what the “risks” are. Could you please clarify? One immediately thinks of sexually-transmitted diseases, but you’ve not specifically said this is what you meant.
If it is what you meant, do you have any data to support the assertion that gay men in straight marriages are more likely to engage in unsafe sex with other gay men, and then bring any STDs into their families?
Further, do you have any data to support the implication that unfaithful husbands who have sex with other women do not similarly put their families at risk? Surely the issue of STD-transmission works no matter who the unfaithful husband sleeps with. No?
You wrote:
“For these types, the shame of being “outed” is so great that they will go to extremes to hide their lustful activities, even tricking a woman to marry them to appear normal in society. Sometimes it’s the nervous family who has rushed a young man into marriage out of a fear that his secret will be exposed”
It is disappointing that you didn’t stand up and take some of the blame here. The ‘shame’ of which you write is created and reinforced by people like you, and by websites like this. If it weren’t for people like you denouncing gays as immoral / sinful / wicked, then perhaps there would be no ‘shame of outing’.
As a case in point, in more tolerant, less judgmental societies (such as ancient Greece, or modern-day Europe), there is no such shame in being ‘outed’. But in middle America??
Do you really believe it’s your God-given duty to perpetuate the shame, and thus force genuinely-gay men into sham marriages?
And again, you have to ask why the families are ‘nervous’, as you mentioned in next sentence? Is it because they fear judgmental Christians such as yourself? Again, you’re not only creating shame for the gay man (and allegedly forcing him to marry a woman), but you’re creating shame for the families of gay men.

“For others, homosexuality can appear later in life when men crave some escape from the monotony of careers and home life. ”
I can’t believe you even wrote this sentence. Where is your evidence to support such an incredulous claim?
In any event, I doubt whether it is true for any significant proportion of the gay community. We don’t become ‘gay’ out of boredom.
Did you become straight out of boredom?
You wrote:
“Same-sex experimentation is also connected to drug or alcohol abuse. Crystal meth and other narcotics are proven to lower inhibitions and to drive people to take incredible risks to feed their habits.”
I know you think your paragraph here sounds all very scientific, but actually you’ve scored an ‘own goal’. Cheers.
Let me explain how you did this. Your two points are:
a) Drugs lower inhibitions.
b) Drugs drive people to same-sex experimentation.
Therefore, to paraphrase: if you lower people’s inhibitions, it will lead so more same-sex experimentation.
Put the other way, the only thing stopping people from experimenting with the same sex is their inhibitions. Cheers!
So, you’ve basically said that same-sex attraction is:
a) natural
b) being unnaturally inhibited.
Cheers.

“they will go to extremes to hide their lustful activities”
Do you know any gay people, sir? Have you ever met a gay couple? If so, I wonder why you use the judgement-ridden term “lustful” activities. Why not “loving” activities?
I offer you an open invitation to come to my house. My partner and I have been married for almost 4 years. I ask you to come and spend a weekend with us. You won’t find any drugs, sex toys or porn in the house. We don’t do the gardening topless, and we don’t watch re-runs of the Golden Girls. Instead, I think you’ll find two men who love each other deeply, exactly as many straight, married couples do.
Are you up for the challenge?

I have an idea.
If you have an inkling that your husband may be gay, perhaps you SHOULD ASK HIM.
Never mind the many ridiculous stereotypes perpetuated by this article. (Frankly, it’s *almost* equally as offensive to straight men who you’ve implied should be smelly, slovenly, poorly-dressed men with limited social lives, among other things.)
The insinuation running rife through this article is that gay men cannot be trusted and will essentially lie, cheat and steal to perpetuate their “lifestyle” and fulfill their “desires.” …why, exactly? It is true that gay men lie, cheat and steal…but I’ve seen no empirical or statistical evidence that they do so at a rate any higher than straight men, or other human beings of any sexuality or gender, for that matter. But at this point in time, given the turning tide of public opinion, what is the point in a gay man being and staying married to a woman?
I’m surprised an article written to counsel Christian married women would suggest they mistrust, snoop, and harbor inane suspicions about their husbands’ most likely perfectly harmless interests and activities (like working out at the gym). Suppose a woman read this and found her COMPLETELY HETEROSEXUAL husband matches up to a large number of these “suspicious tendencies”…AS MINE DOES…you can congratulate yourself for being responsible for ruining the trust a perfectly normal, healthy marriage should she take your advice and start making crazy assumptions about her husband.
Why not just suggest they sit down and have an open and honest conversation about their respective sexualities??

I enjoy the live music scene, where you find a lot of guys who dress like that but are most definitely heterosexual and masculine, just not in a 1950s bringing home the bacon way.

13) Extroverted about his bare chest in public
Does he go shirtless in the back yard or at picnics when other men are around? Does he wear a speedo at the beach? Does it seem like he’s purposely standing right in the middle of a crowd to show off his chest and arm muscles, peppering people with questions about how strong he looks? He may be craving physical affirmation from other men and desperately looking for hints of shared desires in those around him.

Stephenson,
Although I understand your intention, to protect women from what could potentially be a very emotional and heartbreaking end to their marriage, but what your article does is nothing more than encourage gay men to feel more pressure to deny and hide what they really are.
Many of the claims you’ve made are half-truths, picked to suit the agenda that gay men are out to ruin women’s lives out of deceit and their own personal gain. That is simply not the case. What they are doing is fighting for acceptance – the acceptance that people like you refuse to give them. Without the pressure to act a certain way, live a certain lifestyle and comply with YOUR beliefs, they would not be put in this situation in the first place… and women wouldn’t be caught up in these circumstances.
I am personally offended by your claim that same-sex experimentation is also linked to drug and alcohol abuse. Unless you are gay yourself you have no idea what may drive a person to substance abuse – again, it is far more likely to be caused by the overwhelming pressure and lack of self-worth associated with constantly being judged. If anyone is responsible for this is it people like yourself who pass judgment. They wouldn’t feel shame to be “outed” if you bigoted religious organizations weren’t promoting the behaviour.
Homosexuality is not a choice, whether you choose to believe it or not. Respect, dignity and understanding are. Perhaps you should focus your efforts on improving the situation, rather than perpetuate it. Remember, your actions will be judged as well.

Points 1,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,13,14 can also apply to a heterosexual man having an affair with a young Asian girl from South East Asia.
Points (1), (3) and (10) are obvious. These men when with their Asian girlfriends tend to hang out with a younger crowd of other Asians too. Hence they need to look good (4), build some muscle (5) and act young (6). Also explains why they hang out with so many young guys (10). SOME of these girls are more willing to explore beyond procreational sex, leading these men to expect their wives to do so too (7). Now its warm in Thailand and booze is cheap, men usually go shirtless(13) and get drunk(14).
Points 2,8,11,12 describe SOME of behaviour of different types of homosexual men. HOWEVER, I think they DON’T the behaviour of a repressed homosexual in a heterosexual marriage. Keyword is repressed. If a man is bold enough to flirt with other men in public (2) and look at a man’s privates in private (8), he certainly wouldn’t be in a heterosexual marriage. Remember, he entered into the heterosexual marriage to repress his desires not flaunt it. Almost the same argument holds for (11) and (12).
Point 15 seems to apply to SOME girls who have since been affectionately knowns as “fag-hags”. They won’t read your article.
From all the comments above, it seems like there’s only one GOOD reason to suspect that your husband is a homosexual. That is, when he’s homophobic.

Have you ever even met a gay man before?
I truly feel sorry for you and any of your readers if you really believe this crap. Did you even stop to think about how many perfectly good marriages you might be ruining by writing this article? Some young and naive wife is going to read this, become extremely paranoid if her husband shows any signs of “abnormalities” (as you put it), and she’ll end up divorcing or leaving her husband. Way to go! Way to do “God’s work”!

I was born in the 1950s and your conception of that time period is completely false, yet another lie of the liberal slosh they teach in schools. What you people forget is that was an era when many second generation Americans (Italians, Irish, Poles) were moving out of the inner city into neighborhoods where they owned homes and land for the first time. They started families in wholesome communities, they joined local organizations like PTA and got involved. It was a momentous shift for our culture and family values is something real, it does not deserve to be placed in quotes by the likes of you. Sure, I do have a lot of respect for that time period, especially considering the horrific era of drugs, sex and disease that followed. If you were married and had children, would you prefer some violent, drug-infested ghetto or the bucolic of lifestyle of being a property owner surrounded by lawns of flowers and grass?

Faith has nothing to do with a woman being suspicious of her spouse being gay. Do not confuse faith with being concerned for the well being of your relationship. And I agree that Correlation does not equal causation. Ive seen you’re very adamant about articles pertaining to “secret lives of sex addicts”, etc., etc. By your logic, Im faithful that you may be a sex addict yourself, or even a homosexual. But hey, there’s absolutely nothing wrong about either of those kinds of things in the long run. I know you don’t agree, but that’s not my problem.

Perspective is mighty is it not, Mr. Billings? You do realize that this is a very offensive and poorly handled article, correct? Observe the comments to it. It is not coincidence that the majority is very upset with what youve written.
“But no worries, I am not dissauded. Many times your types of people have attacked Christians for their faith and yet we have still survived and flourished.”
Sadly, because Christians feel the need to spread their faith through a force-feeding technique, in my humble opinion. Or maybe its even because Christians believe themselves to be right, and everyone not like them to be wrong. Thats a very egotistical believe to have. Homosexuality being a great example.

I have never in my entire life seen what was in portrayed in this sentence without the help of 100 other men. Should it be figuratively speaking, statements like this feed on the weak minded, and those who are not comfortable with creating their own path. Interpret that as you will.
Amongst everything else, I feel the saddest thing for Christians is that they dont realize that religion is not the only thing they can faithfully connect themselves to, in which it is absolutely positive. There are many other things in this world that teach the same good natured values that Christianity claims to embrace, and none of them believe they are more right than any other.

Mr. Billings,
If you truly meant no harm in this article, I would like to approach you with the perspective that the tone and words you chose could be easily seen in a very negative way. Half of the article I couldn’t take seriously due to how outlandish all your bullets and statements were. I highly doubt that the evidence you have will translate easily to what you have written here. Its highly possibly you may have even taken your evidence in wild exaggeration.
All in all, as you seem to be directing this post to concerned women, you sure made them look stupid. As if they hadnt figured to know any of this in the first place. Marriages dont just happen without each partner knowing and trusting each other ultimately, or I would hope so. Even so, if one partner should decide they wish to experiment in another path of life, the unconditional love you have for that person should see you through any bitterness, resentment, sadness, and anger you might come across.
This is article was in very poor taste, and not taken with the care and caution it rightly deserves.

Dear Stephen, thank you for your brave and insightful article and attitude in general. I couldn’t agree more. I can’t stand the gayification of our society. Even the word gay used to mean happy!
But if I may, there is a simple test for concerned women to find out if their husband is gay. If you are a concerned wife get your husband to do this – when another man is f**king him up the arse, get him to look down and check to see if he has a hard on. If he has, then he’s a f**king fagg*t. Job done.

#7. A consistent overreaction to anything concerning gay men — extreme homophobic behavior.

Yes, I have read the idea reported in several places but I do not think it’s relevant. There are many of us in the conservative community who are absolutely not homosexual but are concerned about the impact this lifestyle is having on our society. I do not think it’s appropriate to include that theory on a Christian website so I left it out. Also, I have seen very little proof of it and think it has sprung from the minds of liberals.
And no, I am not married but thanks for you interest.

This article breeds hate. The same kind of hate that leads to murder and genocide. And you use God’s name to rationalize this?

And by incredible, I mean extremely close-minded. Im probably half your age, and decades smarter than you will ever be. How do I know this? Well, for one, Im not wrapped up in a religion that states everyone other than Christians are going to hell.
Best of luck in your journeys. Continue to expect negative feedback from people and myself as you continue to illustrate more blind, holier-than-thou, garbage.
Heres a question,
If the Lord is a God of Love, how can cast-out homosexuality? Why cant people just do what makes them feel good? What makes them a person? Do you realize that your religious practice is an oxymoron while you continue to believe homosexuality is a sin? I dont believe God would hate anybody for the way they choose to live their life. All those stereotypes that Christianity says is a Sin was never mentioned from Jesus, or the Lord, our God. I refuse to believe that a silly reason like that will send somebody to eternal suffering in the afterlife.
Mr. Billings, I find you very bigoted.

You believe that husbands are the “head of the household” and should have control over the uterus of their wife. Quote:
“Of course, a man is the head of the household in the marriage and brings a unique, impartial perspective to feminine issues.”
From my Confessionwire question “Billings, do you really believe that a man should have control over his wife’s body?”
You’ve also been known to attempt to get female posters to “shut up” by posting random biblical quotes about how women should remain silent in church, or some shit like that.
In addition, you once posted a quote by some dude (can’t remember who) that said something along the lines of females being “flawed” or something.

Wow. Did your research for this piece consist of a handful of anti-gay pamphlets and a Will & Grace marathon? Because really, this is more like a collection of stereotypes about the very, very openly gay than an offering of help to women whose husbands might actually be closeted.
Except, of course, for “feigning attention in church,” which has nothing to do with anything at all with homosexuality and will probably land a lot of readers’ very straight husbands under suspicion.

What a bunch of moronic fear mongering pop psychology.
What exactly are your psychiatric qualifications to claim that using lubricants during sex (something that many straight couples do for assistance in standard vaginal penetration) or role play (something else that both partners in straight couples enjoy) somehow constitutes deep emotional problems or some kind of troubled fetishism, and that’s just the most absurdly basic claim that most therapists would disagree with. Since when is basic attention to hygiene such as trimming pubic hair feminizing? The reality of trimming is that men do it because women prefer it, especially if are hoping to receive oral sex.
Overall this article is nothing but a collection of inaccurate stereotypes and generalizations, its as offensive, simplistic and inaccurate as writing an article about how black people have big lips and eat watermelon. I predict a lot of happily married heterosexual men are going to get nagged because they work out three times a week or put on some cologne before going out to dinner as a result of this hack journalism.

Truth is Jesse, I am afraid of disease. I am afraid of the dangerous influence radical lifestyles has had on our society. I am afraid of the attempts to redefine what marriage means in this country.
A cheating husband could bring back all sorts of STDs to the marriage bed and the wife could unknowingly engage in unprotected sex and get infected. This has happened! Don’t you think it’s appropriate to worry about such things? Don’t you think it’s only right to warn women of the dangers out there? What if a women gets pregnant or her husband is overly affectionate with their boys? Don’t you see there is far more at stake here?
I am sorry but you have no relevance to question my abilities and my credentials. I have worked as a counselor at my church and dealt with many young people. I am also guided by my faith. I don’t need you to tell me otherwise. Well, God bless my friend and best of luck.

You’re afraid of the disease called ‘change and progress’, because you want everything back in the Dark Ages. News flash asshole, the definition of marriage has constantly been changing throughout the years. Hell, it’s latest incarnation started out in the age period you seemed to hate the most, back when men and women actually courted one another instead of being forcefully set up or the man just buying the woman straight-up.
//A cheating husband could bring back all sorts of STDs to the marriage bed and the wife could unknowingly engage in unprotected sex and get infected. This has happened!//
Just like the wife could cheat, or one of them could be raped, or one of them could have SOME kind of needle go into them with it (getting a tattoo counts, and before you say ANYTHING, there are people who get tattoos of the cross and Jesus and other holy figures as a way of expressing their faith). Not only that, but what the hell does gay sex have anything to do with STDs? It doesn’t start from gay sex, it has to come from something completely different first.
//Don’t you think it’s appropriate to worry about such things?//
Not enough to hit the damn panic button and scream outside that the world is ending.
//Don’t you think it’s only right to warn women of the dangers out there? What if a women gets pregnant or her husband is overly affectionate with their boys? Don’t you see there is far more at stake here?//
Women already know the dangers of sex because they, along with men, were taught about it in school over the years. There’s nothing you can do to help a fully grown woman deal with problems because 1. you’ve never dealt with this problem, 2. you aren’t a woman, 3. you’re not married, and 4. you aren’t a parent. You are not qualified in any way of giving advice of any sort to ANYONE.
//I am sorry but you have no relevance to question my abilities and my credentials.//
What credentials? You’re a fraud and a fucking pussy. You run away, you don’t defend your claims with actual research, you go to a fellow hate site and post their crap. Why not follow Claire’s advice, make a copy of your credentials, erase the personal information, and post the damn thing? Oh, that’s right, you’re too chicken-shit to bother with it.

Thanks for the response which had literally nothing to do with anything I wrote.
I can take it from your response about being “guided by faith” that you probably have absolutely no formal training and therefore are unqualified to talk about what sexual practices someone with “deep emotional abnormalities” would tend to display or engage in. You claim to be a “counselor” at your church, what are your qualifications? Do you have a degree in therapy or did you just decide one day that you’ve been miraculously endowed with an inexplicable gift toward guiding people in moral decision making?
In regard to the substance of what you’ve written, the majority of traditional therapists would disagree at a bare minimum that using sex toys or lubricants means anything but that a couple (whether hetero or homo) understands their bodies well and knows a few tricks to keep the bedroom hot and their orgasms interesting.
We should be questioning your credentials when you make claims that are just fundamentally untrue and is discredited pseudo psychology and try to masquerade a number of bigoted stereotypes, many of which are completely normal behaviors as some sort of evidence that a man can be gay. All you are doing is perpetuating the same tired generalizations and looking like an old fuddy duddy who took notes on what gay people do while watching an episode of Will and Grace.
Also, I find it interesting that you know so much about what constitutes “normal” married sex considering you are what appears to be a mid 50s man who’s facebook says you are single, and yet you seem to spend all of your time around your church’s youth rather than finding a wife who enjoys a man with an unshowered jungle of pubic hair to have some good ol’ fashion unlubed, missionary style, non-homo sex with. Sounds kinda homo to me. No homo.

This article is NOT helpful and promulgates a number of myths regarding same sex behavior. This does not provide useful advice to couples in relationships who may be wondering about the sexual activities of their partners. I also find it concerning that the assumption is the man would be the individual to engage in sexual relations outside the primary relationship. Finally, for what reason are same sex relations of any greater concern than relations with a partner of the opposite sex?
Such a foolish list of alleged telltale signs of homosexuality. Sexual expression is individual and there is only ONE sign of homosexual behavior – an individual having sexual contact with another individual of the same sex. Less time worrying about clothes which are too tight or feigning interest in church, more time in loving open dialogue with your partner might be a more useful way to learn if your partner has same sex desires/experiences.

Articles like this are why so many people think Christians are idiots. This type of willful ignorance and hatred drove me away from the church when I was sixteen (long story short, the pastor told me my friend who’d recently passed was in hell because she drank underage. Yeah.), and I will never go back.
What’s really sad, though, is that if a woman is so oblivious and/or stupid that she marries a guy without knowing he’s gay, then she’s stupid enough to believe this nonsense. My brother-in-law, in addition to going to church no more than three times a year, just got back from a business trip to San Francisco – looks like now I have to break it to my sister and their two children that he’s gay. My gay cousin loves sports, both as a spectator and a participant, and he’s creeped out by the prospect of public sex – so I guess he’s actually straight, right? Screwing guys for the last twenty years must just be a phase. A very, very long phase. As for myself, I’ve never been anything but bored at church (even when I WAS ‘Christian’) – oh no! I must be gay! Well, the prospect of being with another woman isn’t appealing, but I’ve got to now, because I’m obviously gay. I mean, I love watching hockey, I dig science fiction, and fashion is lower on my list of priorities than cooking and squeezing an infant violently from my womb – what straight woman could possibly enjoy those things? Plus, I’m good at math! Hmmm… I’d better go to the bathroom and make sure I don’t actually have a penis. In case I don’t, though, is there like a reverse version of ‘Scared Straight’ that will teach me how to be a lesbian? Can I get hypnotized so that when I’m having sex with a woman, I’ll think I’m actually with a big, hairy, sexy dude? Because I don’t think I can do this on my own. Sigh.

At first when i read this article i laughed…the i looked deeper….and i got concerned. Very concerned.
Points of facts:
#10 10) Too many friendly young male friends
Someone who makes an extra effort to surround themselves with younger men should raise concerns in any community. If this is the case with your husband, ask yourself if he prefers their company to that of women. Do they touch each other or embrace in long hugs? Do they exchange expensive, personal gifts like scarves or cologne?
Then i read his creditials….

HAHA, Stephenson, you’re such a moron. Are you sure you’re not gay? As a straight woman, I support gay rights and my two best friends are a happily “married” gay couple. They laughed at this article. Also as a straight woman, I love to role-play with my partner and use toys. It makes a sex life exponentially more interesting. You’re a sick person. Would God want you to ridicule and denounce one of his children because of the way they are? Gay men and gay women are God’s children. You’re a very ignorant bigot who needs to realize that.

Perhaps if the church didn’t preach hate and discrimination men and women wouldn’t feel the need to live a double life and in the closet. The church is creating this situation, instead of offering the love and acceptance of God they are offering judgment and condemnation.

Oh my God I fucking died laughing when I read your article. I’m not even exaggerating, my boyfriend thought I was having a fit I was laughing so hard.
How deep in the closet ARE you, Steve-o? I seriously had to check to make sure this wasn’t satire. How does it feel to have written an article so blatantly and profoundly stupid that it winds its way into self-parody? The Comedian and others who’ve commented do a pretty bang-up job calling you out on specifics, so I’m not going to get into the whole ordeal, but let me just say that they are right, and your refutations aren’t much more than the flailings of a self-important idiot trying desperately to be taken seriously and to be viewed as “right”.
You’re not right about any of this. At all. You’re not a Christian, so stop pretending to be one because you’re making the rest of us look bad.
As a gay man, I have to say I hate “faggots”, and yes there is a difference. You, sir, are probably the biggest faggot I have ever run into, and I hope that your secret boyfriend knows it and reminds you of it.

People wouldn’t hate you so much if you weren’t so hateful yourself. The old childhood excuse of “He started it!” is quite relevant here – you began writing hateful articles for this website, articles that demonized homosexuals and other people who had never done anything to hurt you, and we struck back.
Are you familiar with the Greek myth of Nemesis? Basically the idea is that you will end up being the victim of whatever evils you happen to sow.
Still not simple enough for you? How about this?

This is honestly serious? Like, for reals? Did anyone ever see that episode of “The Office” where Ryan talks about the ‘blog’ he set up for Creed? And how he said that “even for the Internet, it’s pretty shocking”? This is EXACTLY how this makes me feel.
This ‘article’ (I’ll continue to call it that, because it’s late, and I can’t really come up with a better word than ‘trash’) is probably the most poorly researched piece of writing I have ever seen in my life. Apparently, these days, a handful of religious propaganda combined with every single ridiculous stereotype anyone has ever heard about gay men qualifies as credible research.
Every single piece of ‘evidence’ is hardly evidence at all. I think my favorite it this one:
//4) Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home
Natural men have a certain amount of grit about them. They sweat and they smell. Homosexuals often abhor this sort of thing and will also be incredibly particular about the cleanliness of the home. Does your man tweeze his eyebrows, trim his pubic hairs or use face moisturizers? Is he picky about brand name shampoos? Does he spend more time getting ready for a night out than you do?//
If my husband came home and smelled, I would kick him the fuck out until he got a goddamn shower. And YES, my husband is particular about the cleanliness of our home. And WHY? Because we have a child, that we don’t want ants to carry away. Is my husband picky about brand name shampoo? YES. And WHY? Because he’s got awful eczema, and anything that’s not Nutrogena causes his skin to feel like it’s on bloody fire.
He’s also been known to watch Glee and Grey’s Anatomy with me. And enjoy it. Travelling to big cities? Umm…sometimes people have to travel for their jobs. By this logic all pilots must be gay.
I get really sad when I read things like this. It makes me realize how far our society has to come, and how content some people are to continue to believe things that have no factual or statistical merit, and how some are so willing to stay in their little close-minded bubbles.
Not only is this article ill-informed, but it’s actually extremely offensive (but I guess that’s exactly the point. Oh irony, you’ve done it again). Reading this, is really no different than reading something along the lines of “All black people are criminals” or “All Irish people are raging alcoholics”. These statements are quite offensive, and total bullshit.
I would also figure that so-called ‘investigative journalism’ would involve a multi-focal approach on your topic? Do you have ANY sources (barring, of course, the ever trustworthy ABC news) that are NOT of a Christian nature? If not, that your ‘research’ is 100% skewed, and thus, not really good research. I thought an investigative journalist would know that.
So really, your progaganda? Not so much the truth. I will give you an A for your Google skills though.

Just when we thought some gay husbands were escaping notice, you remind us of the ways “you can always tell one of them.” I see you have added a few new signs to the traditional stereotypes and this means thousands of women have been spared shame and heartache. Now if only America would stop trying to treat them like they are real people, like they are full citizens deserving respect, protection and privacy like the rest of us.

As a Christian, this makes me sad: not because I’m denying what the Bible has to say about the subject of homosexuality, but because I read this article (correction: editorial) and all I see is a list of stereotypes. A gay individual is still an individual, and it is unfair and impossible to try and put all individuals (of any orientation, race, gender, etc.) into one pigeonhole. Some people (as previously stated) are going engage in some of these activities, but not all point to homosexuality. Likewise, some married men are struggling with homosexuality and display none of these “symptoms.” In my opinion (and it is just an opinion, like this article), nothing gets to the bottom of a situation like some strong, honest intramarital communication.
PS.
Good research involves using information from neutral (or at least not solely like-minded) sources, and the writer should always be ready and willing to provide the reader with these sources (though the reader shouldn’t even have to ask).

As someone else wrote earlier, at first read I wasn’t sure if this article was satire or actually real because surely any adult in their right mind who isn’t suffering from serious mental disability and sickness of mind couldn’t have written such juvenile, insane garbage.
I’m not even gay but I can tell that this Stevie guy is a complete moron who has probably lived under a rock his whole life. I’m also a Christian and I also know that Jesus in reality, as he was a free thinker and a spiritualist – probably had no issues with same-sex partnerships and love.
My brother is openly gay and in a stable loving relationship and one of the best, most honest and well adjusted people I know.
Sadly, it seems like the author of this post is not. I would hate to see inside his tortured mind and hoped he gets all of the help he needs in either coming out of the closet or treatment for mental illness.

Thanks for writing this. it gave me a good laugh. You clearly have NFI, about, anything really. Kudos to you for cementing the idea of religion being completely fictional and defunct.
I knew Tom Hanks was onto something good when he stared in the movie written by America’s Dan Brown, “The Da Vinci Code”, where he played Robert Langdon – determined to debunk the story of Jesus by proving he was infact human, and not a devine being. Making the archaic mind controlling ideology you call “religion/god/jesus” completely flawed.
You also forgot make reference to the gay men that call themselves “bears”. They are hairy, fond of sloppy joe’s and loose fitting clothes, never heard of the word “manscaping”, would turn their nose up at a wiff of deodorant.. So are these guys gay or straight? Im completely confused. Please help…?

The fact that women would have to ask this question in the first place is the problem. It is a problem caused by an intolerant society that forces gay people (not just men, but women also) into loveless marriages, rather than accepting them for who they are and allowing them to live their lives as they need to. When will society learn that homosexuals are people first and someone’s sexuality is just a facet of who they are? As such, gay men and lesbian women are valuable members of society who, if allowed without prejudice, can enrich our lives and do valuable work just as anyone else can. Why do people get so hung up on sexuality?

As a qualified psychologist, I certify that the contents of this article are NOT based on scientific evidence and are in fact detrimental to the health of heterosexual couples that follow the instructions outlined therein.
It is my hope that this website is satirical in the way that “The Onion” is.
If you are heterosexual and are experiencing marital difficulties, I would advise that you visit a professional psychologist who is not biased by religion or cultural norms.
Human sexuality is varied and rather than being purely heterosexual or homosexual, most people are somewhere in between. Some are exclusively heterosexual and some are exclusively homosexual, some are even asexual but MOST will find that at some point or another, temporaily or permanently, they will be attracted to members of either sex.
Before negatively judging the person you love, it is highly advisable (from a mental health aspect) to educate yourself from an unbiased perspective. In doing so will benefit you and your children, if you have any.

It’s such an hypocricy to preach the word of God and Jesus, but spend an entire liftime filled with negativity and judgement.

He’s up at night on the computer and won’t let me see! This especially gets frequent around birthday’s and holidays! I’m so scared, what if he’s looking at giant male cock?
2) Looks at other men in a flirtatious way
Sometimes, he and his friends play this game called “act a fag” and hey mimick whatever horrible homosexual they recently saw. I thought they were just making fun of gays, but what if they “act a fag” back at eachother’s houses!?
3) Feigning attention in church and prayer groups
My husband was sleeping this past Sunday during our Baptist minister’s 1 and a half hour long sermon and saving the unborn babies of raped and abused 14 year olds!
4) Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home
My husband showers! And uses irish spring- the ALOE KIND. He used to just wash in the river and use the sand to get rid of his body filth, but now he is using soap. Could he be hoping to drop it?
5) Gym membership but no interest in sports
My husband and I go to the gym all the time. I thought it was hot when we’d sneak in the locker rooms together to have sex, but what if he’s wishing I was a man??
6) Clothes that are too tight and too “trendy”
I told my husband early on in our relationship that I loved the shape of his butt and arms, so he wears clothes that show this off now. COULD I HAVE TURNED HIM GAY?
7) Strange sexual demands
My husband like to stick his penis in my butt. It used to hurt a lot because his cock is so big, but now I like it. Could he be wishing I am a man? He also likes to tie me to the bed and blindfold me. Should I be worried??
He’s ALWAYS watching the man in the porn we watch. It’s really annoying because right after we watch the porn, he does the exact same position as the man in the film! Could he have cock-lust?
9) Travels frequently to big cities or Asia
I knew something was wrong when we went to that Hentai convention in Tokyo!!!
10) Too many friendly young male friends
My husband is 25, I think I should make him hang out with my dad after this list.
11) Sassy, sarcastic and ironic around his friends
See “Act a fag”
12) Love of pop culture
Oh my god, my husband loves Justin Beiber. Maybe he wants gay and underage ass!I need to call my preacher…
13) Extroverted about his bare chest in public
Especially when we go to the beach! He’s all shirtless and walking around. I will definitely make him w ear a habit next beach trip.
14) Sudden heavy drinking
After I showed him this post, he went and made himself six extra dry gin martinis!
Oh Mr. Billings, I’m so scared. What should I do?

I came here thinking this was a joke but I guess it is pretty serious. I suppose Christians would know what constitutes homosexuality; your priests have been practicing it for decades.
Also, I do not let my girlfriend check my emails, web history, cell phone records or any other history you suggest. Guess this means I’m gay. Or it could mean it’s my business and NOT hers. Vice versa – I don’t check her stuff, either. It’s called…

Tim, yes the Catholic church has had issues with homosexuality just as every other segment of society. Christians are not immune to the trends in our culture and while it saddens me and many others, we as a community are acting very conscientiously to combat unwanted same-sex attraction. I happen to be a Baptist and there are some points of Catholic doctrine and liturgy that I do not agree with. Also, I do believe there has been a sort of mini-epidemic of improper sexual activity happening in their seminaries and I only pray that the Catholic organization takes a far tougher stance on enforcing a code of conduct within its own ranks.

Rather than condemning your brothers and sisters, shouldn’t you love them instead? What if God put homosexual people in your group to teach you a lesson about His creations? Then again, you don’t read the Bible the way He meant for it to be read, you just twist words to justify your meaningless existence.
//I happen to be a Baptist and there are some points of Catholic doctrine and liturgy that I do not agree with.//
Why? Don’t like that they allow people to have freedoms?

That was absolutely hysterical reading. I needed this laugh today. What brings sadness to me is that their are actually people out there in the world who’ll believe this and potentially have a perfectly great heterosexual relationship destroyed because of your frivolous words. Then again if you are one to believe this article maybe you don’t deserve a husband who takes care of his health and appearance or perhaps a love of asian culture or an interest in pop culture or is so comfortable with his heterosexuality that he he can hug another man and so on an so forth (like EVERY sportsman I have ever seen). The only thing that maybe an indication that a man (or woman for that matter) may be cheating is secretive texting or calls. And if someone is cheating the relationship was over LONG before the cheating started.

OH and another thing. Could you please clarify a few other things the bible says.. LIKE? How do I tell my wife that I am not allowed to touch her when she has her period, ooops I meant to say her “period of mentrual uncleanliness” (lev15:19-24). or Lev 21:20 I may not approach god if I have a defect in my sight. I wear glasses so my vision isn’t 20/20 does this exclude me from his power?? And I’m really confused about football too. Lev 11:6-8 tells me that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean. I also miss eating shrimp because Lev 11:10 says it’s an abomination, YIKES!! Oh my I could go on about what the bible tells me to do and not do. But I am afraid I am going to burn because I sometimes wear poly/cotton blends Lev 19:19 tells me that is a sin or my father in law growing 2 different crops in his field, should I warn him he’ll go to hell. Am I obligated to go into Macy’s on Sunday and kill all the workers as Exodus 35:2 tells me to do for working on the sabbath??? And this one I am really tortured with. Exodus 21:7 How much do you think I could get to sell my daughter??? She’s a hard worker, prompt, eager to learn.. I’ve just never sold a daughter before so I am conflicted. Please help me Stephenson. I know you’ll have the answer for me..

I just pray that some day you will realize that you’re doing more harm than good. You don’t have to be that way, you really don’t.

Mr Billings,
I’m going to assume you simply missed my earlier post – seeing as I received no response from you, but later posts did. I’m going to assume that you didn’t deliberately ignore it.
So I’d like you to address the points I raised. I’ve summarised the 11 challenges I put to you earlier. (For the full explanation of each, please read my earlier comment, also under the same name Ben M)
1) I think you lied when you said your 15 points were drawn from ‘the expertise of spiritual and medical professionals’. I challenge you to prove that those 15 points have any kind of medical backing.
2) Please identify what ‘risks’ are posed to the family of a gay-but-married man. Please identify your scientific evidence for this claim, and explain how these risks differ from risks brought about by any other unfaithful spouse (whether straight or gay, male or female).
3) Please acknowledge that you (and people like you) are the reason why people are ashamed of coming out.
4) Please acknowledge that you (and people like you) are the reason why (allegedly) some gay men prefer to hide their sexuality and marry a woman.
5) Please also acknowledge that you (and people like you) are the reason why (allegedly) some families “rush young men into marriage out of fear that the young man’s secret will be exposed”.
6) Please confirm that you believe it’s your God-given duty to reinforce the shame and fear that gay men and their families experience.
7) Please show your scientific evidence for making the claim that some people become gay out of boredom.
9) Please confirm that you stated that same-sex attraction is both natural, and being unnaturally inhibited.
10) Please explain why you chose the term ‘lustful activities’ instead of ‘loving activities’.
11) Please confirm when you are available to spend a weekend at our house.
Regards,
Ben

Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?
Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA.
Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602-3013, USA.
Abstract
The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.

Stephenson, I googled Stephenson Billings is gay, and you know what, 177,000 entries were listed, wow, in five or six days there are that many entries. I had tried to warn you that this was going to spread on the net, from now until the net crashes, you will forever be known as a gay man. I do commend you on responding to so many comments, I figured you would have deleted the post by now, but your perseverance is impressive. I still vehemently disagree with the way gays and lesbians are treated in this country, and 90% of the vile directed at these citizens is based in Theological misinterpretations of the bible. I have read the King James version where it talks of man laying with man, and it says effiminate, not homosexual, that was added in 1954 to the New American Version of the bible, the term homosexual did not exist when Jesus supposedly walked the Earth. I would again recite Matthew 7:1-6
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Mk. 4.24
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Lets ACCEPT gays and lesbians for who they ARE, and if you are a TRUE believer then GOD will judge them, just as he JUDGES you and the other HYPOCRITES who claim to be Christians.

You are a small minded man and its sad that you actually call yourself a journalist…
No one is having sex in my gym locker room or steam room, get real.
I love fashion(and sports!) and wear great clothes, it helps me get laid (by women).
You must live in a tiny, rural city because #9 is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Does that mean that every man living in a large city (or Asia?) is gay? Just because we (those of us living in large cities or Asia) openly welcome everyone’s sexual orientation doesn’t mean that traveling here means your gay. We have things like culture, music, fine dining, shopping, more culture and if you happen to be gay yes we have stuff for you too. Maybe you should travel to a big city to see what its all about.
Here’s my advice on how to deal with this situation if/when it comes up. TALK TO YOUR SPOUSE, if they’re gay, get a divorce and move on, be happy in your life and who you are gay or straight. Running around looking for secrets wont help you, talking to your partner will. BOOM DONE There’s your article on how to handle it.

Oh my god, I’ve just discovered I’m a gay man! I thought I was a straight female but I do so many of the things listed here that I realize now I must be gay.
I visit big cities, especially Copenhagen, Beijing and Tokyo, and I use phones and computers late at night.
I don’t even bother to feign interest in spiritual matters, mainly as I have a brain and a billion better things to do that listen to someone else telling me how to live my life.
I’m sassy and back chat, at least by your definition. By other people’s definition of course I’m just an equal member of society and it’s acceptable to express my opinions. Hell, the company I work for even pays me to do that because they value people equally. You probably want us all to wear burkas and keep quiet while the men (straight men, of course) do all the talking.
I do like looking at semi-naked men on the beach or in the park. I also love pop culture and have many younger men as friends. I work in IT so it’s bound to happen, but still. We even hug sometimes too.
I have a lot of tight clothes, but that’s probably because I don’t actually go to the gym. I do like sports though, maybe I’m not gay after all…except how does that explain my huge collection of kinky gay porn? I love it. I can’t wait to watch two guys get down to it. I even write gay porn content for the web.
This article doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, as others have pointed out much more eloquently than I have. I really struggle to understand how someone can hold these opinions and yet be able to walk and breathe at the same time. You really ought to move to Afghanistan and live under the Taliban as you share most of the same views.

Stephenson,
While I may not agree with one single thing that you have to say, I have to commend you on your excellent writing skills. You use all the right words and slants to make your opinions come alive as pseudo-facts and that’s a very useful skill in your field. Luckily, nobody takes these hate- and fear-filled articles seriously, but if I were you, I would look into opening your mind a little bit, at least for the sake of gaining some credibility and not sounding like an angry old man sitting on his front porch yelling at kids on skateboards.
What you don’t realize is that your articles not only do damage to the gay community (a diverse community that you know very little about) but to the straight community as well and to an even greater extent. The roles that you assign to masculinity are dangerously over-archetypical. No man can meet the expectations that you set up for a real, natural “man”, because no man is naturally that way. Men have been socialized (harmfully so) to believe that they must behave a certain way, but men are much more diverse and interesting than you paint them to be. Masculinity and femininity are not black and white, it’s a giant grey field and nobody should feel persecuted for falling outside of their “prescribed” gender role.
Also, your view of what a gay man is is entirely skewed, but I think that you know that. You surely have witnessed the culture of sexual openness that you would call deviant among the gay community, but so what? You have apparently never witnessed a healthy gay family. I’m sure that the thought of that makes you cringe, but unless you experience it and allow the idea of a homosexual couple raising healthy, happy children to sink into your mind, you will never escape the unhappiness and angst that is keeping you a prisoner. I, myself, am a gay man in a long-term relationship. We both are attending university, broadening our horizons, accepting and loving each other for who we are in a perfectly healthy relationship of equals, but you hesitate to admit that people who don’t fit into your box of perfection can possibly be happy and love each other. Life is all about loving one another, not about spreading nasty rumors over the internet masked as news articles.
Thanks

“Outstandingly accurate yet incredibly hilarious!” ~ Godsend Magazine
“Satirical humor, and fun for the whole family!” ~ Christians’ Life Weekly
“Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Just simply fantastic.” ~ God’s Children Magazine
“Lovely, with touch of pure, concentrated truth. Thank the Lord.” ~ Westboro Baptist Monthly
All of these wonderful Christian magazines have been talking about Stephenson’s great article, ranging the rating from 8 to 10 out of 10. Stephenson Billings, an unmarried homosexual male, has criticized his own kind for being horrible, inhuman people… And the crowd loves it!
“Homosexuals should burn into the pits of Hell they came out o–oh, excuse me, I think my boyfriend is calling…” says Stephenson during the interview on the Christian Life channel.
Stephenson was a young boy, obsessed with the occult, nude men, and penises, set on becoming the journalist that represents all Christians everywhere. And he finally did it.
“I believe that every child has a right to criticize homosexuals, only later to find out that they are one,” Billings comments. “I also believe that they should have great anal sex with their pastors, and drop by the pope sometime for a little bit of fun…”
Billings goes on to say how he loves his new boyfriend and how much he tells him how he’s going to burn in Hell. His boyfriend, Gerald McCennan, talks about their love life often to reporters who ask.
“Oh, Stephenson is just fantastic in bed,” begins Gerald. “He always find new positions and tries desperately hard to get that 5 incher in me. He loves my cooking and always licks my asshole before I feed him any dinner. He says it supplies that ‘feces taste of love’. We also like to go out clubbing and have fifteensomes with other gay men we find lying around. I believe we’re going to love each other forever… And actually, we’re going to have a sixsome tonight with my friends Rick, Nicholas, Kim and Johnny!”
Gerald and Stephenson plan on getting married in December, and adopting a genetically gay child to have threesomes with.
“To all the fans out there,” Billings starts. “Just keep hating homosexuals for the disgusting beings they are, and have plenty of anal sex everyday. Remember, if your anus isn’t stretched enough so that it can still hold in feces, then you need more anal sex!”
Prime Time Reviews rates this article a 9.5/10, -.5 due to grammatical and spelling errors.

Poor Stevie, Science is based upon empirical evidence and fact, while religion (such as your invisible sky god) is based upon mythology, conjecture and fear. “Science flies you to the moon, while religion flies you into buildings.” Science has given us modern medicine and the internet tubes you are blogging on. Christian values such as they are have given us slavery, domination of women, and prohibitions on eating shellfish or working on Sunday. Christian values hah-none of the Christians I know profess such warped values as your own, however imbeciles like you spout nonsense based upon ignorance, while intelligent people rely on real data. Small minds stevie, such as your own rely on superstition and lies from groups like the Family research council and Focus on the Anus

Here are my 2 cents: My advice for all these “poor women” (and I do feel sorry for them) and christians in general is:
STOP TREATING GAYS LIKE CRIMINALS OR ABOMINATIONS! This way they can live their “lifestyle” without fear of being MURDERED or cast out of society. So they can live their life without having to get married to a “poor woman”. This is never a gay man ort woman’s fault in me eyes. The church with their judgments (even though they are the ones that preach about judging others) indoctrinates fear into gay men and womens brain so they are forced to lie and ultimately have to seek their desires in the dark. This so-called problem of gays getting in heterosexual is created by the church and society that insists on treating gays as scum of the earth. I feel bad for both parties for being in such a marriage but the idiot that wrote this article wouldn’t think of placing any blame on the church because they think in the same one-sided way, if they even think at all that is.
We all can go to on the internet and write about pretty much anything and provide a link to some other site that talks about what they are writing about but that does not make your work authentic or truthful.

Initially I was horrified with the content of this article. But, after I visited Mr. Billings’s website (http://stephensonbillings.wordpress.com/) and saw the astounding amount of pictures of shirtless men in speedos, bondage gear, and leather chaps, in addition to the creepily detailed piece on cat rape (really?), I had to come to the conclusion that this is satire, and Mr. Billings is a fictional character developed by someone who is attempting to be funny (and is). This is the only explanation for the content on this man’s website, and his fixation on half-dressed men. I think the person impersonating Mr. Billings is attempting to appear hypocritical and as a closeted homosexual for the purpose of comedy. So, arguing with him on the issue doesn’t seem to have very high stakes here, as he is a fictional character.

In this way you gain attention for the site and your writing.
The pictures of all the men on your personal website and your self-published fixation on homosexuality creates the character of a closeted, hypocritical, self-hating gay man. I am not trying to insult you personally, because I do not personally believe that homosexuality is a negative thing.

It’s all your fault.
You oppose gay marriages and do not approve of gay people marrying the ones they truly love and would want to spend their old age with.
Why would you do that? You just want people to be miserable, I guess, just probably like you are.
So what will a closeted gay man do? He could either:
(1) Remain unmarried and become the gentleman bachelor uncle that almost every family has, and that everybody talks furtively about, behind his back, but you are all smiles and profess to love him in front of him;
(2) Be killed like what you Christians are advocating in Africa (in Uganda for example, you American Christians are advocating death penalty for gays and imprisonment for people who know somebody who is and won’t tell the government; in Malawi, two men who married each other were jailed, but since pardoned because of international pressure);
(3) Remain closeted forever, get married to a nice young lass, have a loveless marriage, have screwed up children (although he might be a very good father) but because there is no love (or sex) in the marriage, just like many American marriages, the marriage may end in divorce or he might just abandon the marriage altogether. The gay closeted married man will live a lie and be bitter his whole life.
(4) … do all the 15 things (and probably even more) that you stated in your article … to preserve his sanity.
In some societies, there are boy brothels that men go to, to relieve pressure … and then go on with their married life. No commitment with the boys, just sex, well, there may be some love involved, but money is always in the transaction. These brothels are not talked about, but they are there, patronized by all kinds of people from different strata of the society.
This is similar to what you alluded to … like going to Thailand without the wife … well, you know, to preserve the marriage and his sanity, why not be debauch for a week or two in some countries where you can exploit whoever ou want for a fee. These boys for rent in these countries sacrifice their young selves so their families could have something to eat. They don’t mince words about it, it is a part of life … and then they grow up and go on with their life.
For the Western closeted gay man, after his week of debauchery, he will go back to the loveless marriage, his sanity is preserved, but he still lives a lie. But at least he can look forward to the next vacation, in another part of the world, perhaps, not Thailand, but may be Brazil, or maybe Portugal. Those Portuguese men are hot.
As long as he supports his wife and his family monetarily, I think, it is ok for him to have his own time. It beats solution no. 5 below:
(5) Kill himself because he might not be able to take it anymore or worse, kill others, blaming others for his sorry miserable life.

Forgive me if I missed anything, I only read the first half of the comments. Can’t blame me, it’s really big.
Apologize in advance for the monotony below
A summary of what I read:
//1) Secretive late night use of cellphones and computers//
Stephen’s point: If a man is using phones or computers late at night, he must be watching gay porn or socializing with gay men.
Readers: The internet is big. And contains straight porn and women.
Stephen: That tone is unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//2) Looks at other men in a flirtatious way//
Stephen’s point: If a man looks at another man, he must be gay.
Readers: You’re stupid.
Stephen: That tone is unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//3) Feigning attention in church and prayer groups//
Stephen’s point: If a man goes to church but doesn’t pay attention, he must be flirting with other gay men.
Readers: You’re really stupid.
Stephen: That tone is unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//4) Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home//
Stephen’s point: Gay men are soulless personifications of female stereotypes.
Readers: No they’re not.
Stephen: Yes they are.
Readers: No they’re not.
Stephen: That tone is unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//5) Gym membership but no interest in sports//
Stephen’s point: Guys who go to the gym but don’t do sports have gay sex in the changerooms; why else would a man who doesn’t do sports go to the gym?
Readers: To work out. And gay people don’t have sex in public changerooms.
Stephen: Yes they do, one told me.
Readers: …
Stephen: Those dots are unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//6) Clothes that are too tight and too “trendy”//
Stephen’s point: Guys who wear trendy clothes are gay. And can non-verbally communicate with each other.
Readers: I don’t like you. Because you’re stupid.
Stephen: That tone is unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//7) Strange sexual demands//
Stephen’s point: Sexual variety is gay.
Readers: You’ve never been married.
Stephen: >.>
//8) More interested in the men than the women in pornographic films//
Stephen’s point: If a man watches porn for the men, he must be gay.
Readers: Derp.
//9) Travels frequently to big cities or Asia//
Stephen’s point: If a man travels to Asia alone, he must be gay.
Readers: You’re an idiot.
Stephen: That tone is unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//10) Too many friendly young male friends//
Stephen’s point: If a man has young male friends, he must be gay. And a pedophile.
Readers: ._.
Stephen: That tone is unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//11) Sassy, sarcastic and ironic around his friends//
Stephen’s point: If a man is sassy, he must be gay.
Readers: That’s sexist. Somehow.
Stephen: I’m not sexist, I’m a christian journalist.
//12) Love of pop culture//
Stephen’s point: If a man watches Glee, he must be gay.
Readers: It’s catchy.
Stephen: That tone is unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore I will not read your post.
//13) Extroverted about his bare chest in public//
Stephen’s point: If a man isn’t wearing a shirt, he must be trying to impress gay guys.
Readers: Or trying to impress women. Or it’s hot. Or he’s swimming.
Stephen: No, he’s gay.
Readers: No u.
//14) Sudden heavy drinking//
Stephen’s point: Closet gays drink. EVERY woman who found out her husband was gay said so. Srsly.
Readers: Depressed people drink. Also, source.
Stephen: …
//15) Ladies, have you dated men in the past who turned out to be gay?//
Stephen’s point: Women who have dated gay men will do it again. Because women do not develop brain cells. They also lay eggs.
Readers: You’re stupid.
SUMMARY OF THE COMMENTS:
Readers: You have no valid points, you sound like you have never met a gay person (internet doesn’t count), your only source is a shady ABC article, you have no wife and family, you’re christian, you type funny, this article sounds like a joke, and if we were to follow this article, two thirds of the population would be gay.
Stephen: Stop with these obscene personal attacks, they’re not getting you anywhere. I don’t make ypos, Two thirds of the North American population is gay, I do have sources (*puts random links*), being a clueless christian right-wing basement dweller in Tennessee doesn’t have anything to do with having bias against gay people, RANDOM capitals that no ONE besides The Comedian (whose points are all invalid because he calls me names) actually read, this article is not satire, and you’re stupid.
Readers: Prick.
Stephen: Poohead.
Readers: Stupidface.

Mr. Billings,
You have saved me from a marriage that was built on false hoods. I always had questions about my husbands sexuality (especially since EVERY man I have been with has turned out to be gay!) Then Jesus himself came to me in a dream, wearing a “AIN”T MY PRESIDENT” shirt with a picture of Obama on it, and he whispered in my ear. His golden, baritone voice sweetly sang “Seek thy christwire!” Upon awaking I found this wonderful article, which I feel should be mandatory reading before ANY marriage ceremony.
I never noticed how how often my husband showered and took care of himself! Every morning, first thing he would do is take a long hot shower! But, that isn’t even the worst part…he would then shave, gets dressed in clean pressed clothes, and adjust his appearance in a mirror! My ‘gay-dar’ (get it? I think I heard this joke on Will and Grace, but don’t worry, I begged for forgiveness after watching that heathenistic show)
It gets much, much worse though. I’m sad to say that my husband belongs to a gym. I was confused when he started this, since he seemingly has no interest in sports. I raised my concerns to him be he told me he did it to merely stay in good health. Little did I know that he was involved in gay shower orgies, the type that hasn’t been seen since the days of Caligula! He never told me about these mind you, but I know that they happened since he would come home tired and worn out. I tried to bring it up, but he said I was interrupting hims while watching last weeks episode of Glee. I protested more, but he told me we could talk about it after his trip to Asia.
It was at this point that I left him and haven’t looked back. I heard that he killed himself while wallowing in a deep depression from me leaving, but I feel confident God sent is homo soul to the bowels of hell.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME!!!!

LOOK – We can argue and counter-point CR@P like this until the sun goes down. The fact of the matter is that this article is nothing more than bigotry (a stubborn and complete intolerance of any belief, or opinion that differs from one’s own).
All this does for the writers of the article is brings them “hits” for advertisers…well played, Christwire. Your devilish ways are quite good. LOL
OH….did anyone check out the bottom of the page? It has “moral alerts” section says “Currently praying to decide who needs boycotting…Please check back soon.” HAHA…oh ye of little faith.

Good day Mr. Billings,
I went to a Jesuit high school which resulted in the creation of a refined, articulate, intelligent, street smart person such as I am. The Jesuits who I have met during high school have all displayed tolerance towards homosexuality. They agree that homosexuality is indeed against the teaching of Christ. They did not however, go ahead and cut off a tree and shove it up their ass, completely diverting all blood circulation to their brains and diverting it to their dickhead.
I did not have any comments at all while reading your rant. But after reading some of the things people have told you, I wanted to pull up the tent flaps, sneak in and join your circus. I even have a neat trick in mind, for you and me. It involves setting you way up high above the tentpole, evacuating the tent, letting people all sit outside and shooting you down on the tent right in the middle of the tent pole. Imagine the shock, amusement and awe in all the people’s faces when they see you land butthole first, right smack on the tent pole and flash a big toothy grin for all to see. And then, imagine all their faces when you proceed to descend, taking in tent, tent poles, all the bears, and lions and tigers ( please check PETA for clearance on this, otherwise we can always use inanimate object i.e. fire hydrants, fire trucks, strip malls with huge parking lots) and finally land on the ground taking everything else inside you! I of course will demand huge royalties be paid to me every single time this trick is performed. You will get the intensely orgasmic satisfaction of not only inserting your foot inside your mouth but well…. uhm…. we will just check video footage because I really have no other adjectives in mind right now.
Sigh.
How terribly easy for me to be sarcastic, how difficult to be so sensical.
Do not forget to change your socks after inserting your shoes in your mouth. And please check that your socks are the nylon tube type as they are 100% heterosexual. We dont want anyone seeing you in those comfortable cotton ones and think that you’re gay.
And dear Mr. Billings, thank you for giving a lot of people exercise in anger management and humor and anatomy and everything else that you are an expert of.
Please also post your grandma’s recipe for brownies, the ones she made for you everyday which resulted in you becoming your wonderful self.
Please kiss each antique soda bottle each night for me and please please please do not forget to disinfect them after every use.
Please also feed the young thai exchange student you are so very graciously accomodating.
Thank you very much for such useful grains of wisdom. You so liberally dispense them like salt on a rack of lamb.
May you have more power and may you never break another antique soda bottle while you are using it for recreational purposes.
Much love

I couldn’t care less about you. Fall off a cliff, it wouldn’t even raise a giggle out of me. Unless you still live with your mother, you DON’T have a family, you’ve never RAISED one, you only have your relatives to count on, and you’ll never knew what it’s like to be a parent. You have little faith in everything, you have no idea how to act towards your spouse or children.
//You say I’m against the teaching of Jesus? This is new for you. Since when did you become a Christian? Honestly, I am for both the teachings of Jesus and the Old Testament. Those people who simply focus on one over the other are not true Christians. You need to heed to BOTH books of the Bible.//
What if I’ve always been a Christian? As for taking into account the Old Testament, you better be following it to the letter, and that includes all the bullshit cockamamie crap that Leviticus tried to shove down people’s throats. Get to it Stevie, you better catch up with your murdering and pillaging!
//As for the “copy & paste” claim you make. I am really bored of that silly comment that people post again and again. I simply have no interest in responding. But in some weird way, you accuse me of “copy & paste” when I refer to other articles or mention news stories that inspire me. When I don’t, you accuse me of having no legitimate sources. Come on! You have to admit you’re being ridiculous.//
You offer nothing new or incentive to their views, you just want back-up to your insanity by other criminally insane people.
//Also, it would really make me happy if you tempered you language. It’s just so much!//
Do something worthy of respect and I’ll tone down my language.
//Hi Sandra, thank you for being so brave to share you story. It makes me quite sad but I am pleased that you have reached some sort of compromise that you’re comfortable with. Just remember that your friends in Christ love you and support you. You are a wonderful woman and I will pray for you. I do hope that your husband is safe and continues to love you.

I would like to express my dismay at your choice in stock photos for this article. The gentleman in the photo on the bottom is not wearing a wedding ring. Additionally, the couple in the top photo do not have theirs visible. Has ChristWire become so godless that it will allow the suggestion of pre-marital sex in its articles?
Additionally, as a woman who has experienced losing a spouse to homosexuality, I’ve learned how to spot these signs without a single doubt. As it is my responsibility as a woman to hold a marriage together, when I started seeing these signs in my current marriage, I decided to do something about it right away. I encouraged my husband to start bringing his partners into our home. The easiest way to combat homosexuality is to remind a man of the glorious powers god has given women to share with their husbands. And, for the sake of eradicating homosexuality, I think god will forgive me for also using these powers on my husband’s partners, their partners and their partners partners. Sometimes individually, sometimes all at once. Occasionally, we record this on videotape so these men can bring a reminder home with them of the sacred bond between a man (or men) and a woman as well.

I grew up Roman Catholic, served as an altar boy, volunteered, did everything a good Catholic boy would do. I knew I was different and on the occasions I would hear blurbs like this and feel just horrible about myself. I would often wonder if it were known if I would be welcome in my church. About 5 years ago, and I came to terms that the general “Christians” out there were wrong and GOD made me just the way he intended to, homosexual and all. There was never any question in my mind of who I was and the only thing wrong was how people looked at homosexuality.
I read this article because I found it quite amusing, in fact I forwarded it to many of my friends because they would find it hysterical as well. The sad realization is that there are people who believe this and believe this is what GOD wants us to think. I believe nothing can be further Christianity. A love and respect for one another, caring for each other despite differences, leaving politics aside and just being someones neighbor.
Mr. Billings, your reasoning is antiquated and so similar to the way blacks were thought of 60 years ago. Broad, blanket statements based on stereotypes were laughable 10 years ago. The comment about the gym really gets me… I hate going to the gym, yet I go. I don’t go to show off, I don’t hang out in the locker room longer than needed and I never ever see any of the sorts of behavior you site. I prefer to take my shirt off outside when I am hot and sweating not because I want to show off to every man that walks by, but because I am hot and sweating (and wouldn’t mind some color!). Oh, and if only I were as neat and prim as a proper gay should be…. I have dishes in the sink from yesterday. I’m sure my fridge could use a cleaning out… the only things I get from there for now are beers (not wine coolers), I should probably shave my face, oh and shame on me for fixing my own car… how un-gay of me! Well, I guess I’m just a bad gay, or your typical man that happens to be married to another man who is equally as un-gay.
Oh, what a world it would be if petty things like this weren’t out there, but then again, where would I get my late night internet entertainment…. oh right, I’m supposed to watch porn. Actually, I’m going to make love to my husband when he gets home in about a half hour. We’re looking forward as usual to church this weekend where we are quite welcomed by a loving community of straight, gay, lesbian, black, white, hispanic, tall, short, fat, thin, bald, handicapped, etc. people who treat us like they want to be treated. We sing together, pray together, and have a nice little coffee hour afterwards.
Just think about it, Mr. Billings; leaving the judgment for Christ and loving your neighbor for how GOD made him or her. If only more people would do that gay men would not feel pressured into marrying for the wrong reasons, leading to the issue you point out. And yes, it is an issue that is sad and breaks up families. But ask yourself, why would these men do it in the first place if they grew up knowing that they could be themselves without being judged!

Studies have shown that most homophobic men have homosexual feelings. I mean, how else could you have come up with “Afterward, they use the showers and steam rooms to engage in sexual activity beyond the prying eyes of women.”. It sounds like something that only someone who has homosexual feelings would fantasize about.
Anyways I think this site as a whole is the reason I look down so much on religion. It’s a shame, really, because I think most Christian people are kind, open-hearted people. It’s people like this author who are ruining my respect for religion. If they are so adamant about the Bible forbidding homosexuality then how come they ignore the other things the Bible forbids? This picking an choosing passages of the Bible is another think=g I do not like about religion. I think people who do this are insulting God for twisting his message of love and respect and they are the ones who will get punished.
We insult others based on things we cannot deal with in our selves. We dislike things that we are not comfortable with. This way of thinking has brought America to what it is now. With people continuing to think like this it is no wonder America has been on a downward trend.

The University of Michigan has studied extensively on the connection between excessive homophobia and repressed homosexuality. They took a huge sample of men who classify themselves as straight and categorized them between homophobic and gay-friendly. They were then placed in a viewing room with a wire around their penises which measured erections while exposed to gay porn.
Guess which group (homophobes or gay friendly) had over 90% of men experience erections whereas less than 20% of men who claimed to be gay-friendly experienced the same?

Jesus, who never married, chose to spend his adult life with 12 men. A sexy woman through herself at him – he had her wash his feed. He had long hair, wore a robe. Maybe he was gay? He rose, and he came again – probably with Peter.

//So by your logic there are simply no shared characteristics among the majority of homosexuals? This is absurd.//
Gay people are no different than straight people, the only difference is they prefer the same sex. You want to share characteristics about people? Then accept that Christians are bat-shit insane because of your actions.
//Yes generalizations fail to fully round out any subsection of human beings, but I believe I speak from experience and solid investigative skills for the points I’ve made here.//
What experience? You’ve only read about the crap that other assholes like you produced, and you’ve only ever investigated how much ice cream in your fridge you have left.
//Why else would be people be so enraged about being exposed? Yes, your secret is out and yet there is something healing and wondrous knowing that there is a path to salvation available to you.//
Yeah, that path is being a good person, doing kind things for the sake of other people. Not only that, YOU REFUSE to accept that under Leviticus’ teachings and rules, that you’re going to Hell and should be stoned to death for half the crap you’ve done.
//There is no necessity for homosexual actions, you can limit your carnal desires and seek righteousness instead my friend. Think on it.//
So you think homosexual love is different than heterosexual love? Why? God made people straight AND gay, so why is their love any different from the kind of love I’d share with my girlfriend or wife?

The first amendment gives every citizen in America the right to say what they want. I am a fervent believer of this, and i will support theire ability to say theire mind as long as they have all the facts and present all evidence equally. This article however is as far from correct in any sense possible. Almost all of the “facts” on this page are incorrect. The author simply used stereotypes in every single thing they said. That gives them no right at all to say these things. The author said that “porn addiction is closley associated with homosexuality” this is extremely incorrect. Infact there are over triple possible even quadruple straight porn sites than gay porn sites. on top of that there are 5 porn sites to every one regular site. thats a staggering amount of straight porn sites out there. The author also said to watch out for bieng to clean around the house and worrying about how the house looks…. really? are you for real? who dosent like a house to look nice or clean? maybe they have dandruff and need dandruff shampoo or they like a certain shampoo, theres nothing gay about them. one dosent have to like sports to go to the gym. going to the gym is extremely good for ones health. Gays do not hook up in the showers or steam room in the gym that is completely false. if one had been working out then most likely they would indeed be too tired from the gym to have sex. How could the author possibly know that “gay men dont need words to communicate theire availability for sex “hook ups” ” unless he himself is gay… either way this statement again is incorrect. so for sexual demands your inferring that all gays have emotional abnormalities? which is an extremely ignorant comment. number 8 does have some truth behind it, it is possibkle however not fully true, not at all. …. travels frequently, its called work, alot of companies are outsourcing to asia and large cities , therefore more people must travel farther to oversea how everything is doing. many non gay men do enjoy the company of men over women due to women usually nag and or force them to do work, which we all know men hate to do… for number 11, the auhtor has never been ironic, sarcastic, or as a joke sassy around his friends? because thats near impossible in the english language when most of our comments towards one another are in those literary devices. and speaking with ones hands is a way to expressively talk, tun on the news, almost every newscastor, along with every politician, including the president use theire hands when talking. pop culture is short for popular culture… really its near impossible to not be a part of, and glee is a tv show, its a comedy, a comedy which remake great music works, it has made some of the most popular music on itunes…. going shirtless int eh backyard, if its a barabaque thats normal, its probably hot outside, speedos used to be the fashion and the only bathing suite to wear, go to europe, its still quite popular there. almost anyone will turn to alcohol when confronted with stress….
Im sorry but the Author of this article is completely full of shit, he has no credible evidence at all. its impossible to tell if somones gay unless they openly advertise it. this auhtor is simply using stereotypes in every single statement he makes he has again no evidence! none!!! these articles are extremely derogatory. this author is stirring hatred for gays, who are still humans, if god really saw gays as an abomination, or horrible, he has all power and power to change gays, if he hasnt then obviously he dosent mind.
The author is fueling the same hatred for gays that white slave owners fueled towards blacks a long time ago, and that resulted in war. he might as well be called racist because hes almost doing something just as horrible to gay people, hes trying to turn people against gays. which is just wrong. god himself says to love one another and you all preach to love on another…. how can you possible say that then hate gays so much? its horrible how far christianity has come from the crusades etc. to be doing something equally as horrible to gays… i am a christian and a catholic myself and find it repulsive so much so i would denounce my faith if it as a whole supported what peopole like the authors and other are doing… its horrible

Hi,
I wanted to share my thoughts. This is essentially a blog. The article is an opinion piece, meant to catch attention with a quick and provocative list. To try to defend the journalistic integrity and “investigative reporting” side of this piece is insulting to all readers’ intelligence.
In my mind, this piece of writing is comparable to stories in gossip magazines (e.g. “10 Ways to Know if he’s happy in Bed”). This Christian blogger is looking to create a sensation in a pseudo-scientific, pseudo-self-help way. Stephenson Billings has taken a lot of liberties with a few weak attempts at tying other people’s opinions together to come up with “facts” about homosexuality. There’s no solid data or useful psychological/social insights here. It’s just a sensational how-to-spot-a-homo list. It’s a pretty unfair, disrespectful, harmful piece.
I’m curious about what type of work experience Stephenson Billings has. For example, has he been published in any journals, newspapers, books with solid research focus, or less formal venues that are opinion-driven?
I’m curious as to what reaction Stephenson Billings expected from this piece. Was this meant to give Christian’s a place to moan about how the problems in society are all homosexuals’ fault? Have a laugh at gay people? Trigger a witch hunt for homosexuals and validate unsound discrimination against them?
I would be more interested if the intent really was to take a serious look at relationship problems and sexual identity issues. There’s a lot to discovering sexual preferences later in life, the reasons for the delay, the impacts it has on families, sources of support, etc. Some statistics would be informative, but also personal case studies would give very valuable insight.
I don’t think this piece has valid grounds. I don’t think it can be defended. I think less of Stephenson Billings for continuously trying to reply to posters and validate himself as a journalist and the ideas he’s putting forward.
Some of the more patient commenters have done a good job with their “differential dx”, pointing out the flaws in logic, so I feel no need to argue point by point the piece.
And since it seems to make a difference to the respect my response gets: I’m a straight female, I have a Christian background though I disagree with some parts of the doctrine, I’m liberal when it comes to rights, I feel sexuality is fluid, and I trust that there is an all-loving/accepting God looking out for the world.

Ya know, I love you and I love all of the people here commenting regardless of belief and orientation. Just want to say that as a man. Now what I want to say next may or may not surprise you. I love the fact that you have the privilege to be alive and I love the fact that you have the chance and right to express yourself. However, what saddens me is how far off your expression of the topic is. You are right in one respect of the natural and biological differences between men and women. Men have a penis and women have a vagina but what we like in terms of clothing, TV shows, and yes even sexual fetishes does not stem purely from our sexuality. These likes and dislikes come mostly due to conditioning. It may come as some surprise to you but not everyone in this world shares in the love of Christianity. While that saddens me I do not judge them because of it. Just like I will refuse to judge people based on these standings as well as refuse to judge you based on your opinions. However, I do feel its important to inform you of how unfair your comments about what makes a person gay or straight. Its not fair to say that someone is something because of purely what they do. In terms of sexual orientation what does it matter if someone takes off there shirt more or less then the next guy? This is more of an issue of vanity then an issue of sexuality. While one the subject, why is it that if a man seems vain he must be gay? Straight men are equally at risk at being vain.
Why is it that men should have to be attracted purely to sci-fi pop culture? Can’t a man embrace in the love story between a man and woman? Dare I say that he may even learn from that love story to enrich his own marriage?
Now, as for your internet issue I have to say this. I myself am on the internet very late and I have many friends in different time zones. A lot of my life is lived at night and I personally feel hurt by the fact that you feel my life should be monitored by someone else. Trust is an amazing thing in a relationship. In experience if you have to document what you are doing while your spouse is away, then that is not trust and will only feed paranoia.
As for alcohol, I personally come from a long line of alcoholics. Its something in my life I battle with to keep in check and am proud to say that I have been able to do so. However, let me educate you from personal experience. Yes, some people turn to alcohol to deal with a heavy conscience. However, the first thing you should be asking yourself when your spouse is showing signs of alcoholism is not to question there sexual orientation but to ask the bigger question of how you help them away from the over indulgence of liquor and back to the path of God.
These are just some things that I would like you to think about before you publish a list of criteria to expose a homosexual adulterer. I will not judge a person because it is not my place to judge. It is however my place to share the love of Christ to all the children of this earth. This means whether it is man who is secretly gay in his marriage or the child who wishes to know the Lord but doesn’t yet understand who and what the Lord is. I will end this in the way that I began it. I did not post this to judge you, I feel as if you think you are doing good. I did post this to implore you to rethink your statements as they are not based in fact but in opinion. You may even find that the gay community is as diverse as the straight community in terms of how they lead their lives. Bless you and know that forgiveness can be found for those who truly seek it. In addition, bless everyone who allows themselves to feel the love of the Lord.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe if we all stopped persecuting gays, and instead treated them equally… without any negative consquence, that there would be no reason for adult gay men to be “accidentally” become involved with a woman because they would have been able to figure it out on their own much earlier in life?
There would be no reason for some gay men to think that they are mentally ill, or that they can pray the gay away, or if that they find a woman to marry and raise children that they will be fixed because they are trying to live a life expected of them by society. There would be no reason for some to resort to looking for sex after dark, in parks or gym locker rooms if it was completely accepted to be gay in public.
If it were completely accepted, I might still be with my first boyfriend. We were together for 4 years, but completely in the closet. We finally broke up because he couldn’t face his parents at the time and gave into the pressure of living a “normal” adult life. But we truely loved each other and I don’t think I’ve loved anyone else nearly as deeply. It it were possible back then, I’m sure we would eventually have been engaged and been married, and would be living happily together still.
People like you force some of us to continue to lurk in the shadows of shame. But every day, more of us are getting the strength and becoming stronger to face down your twisted “truth” unveil the lies you spew forth for what they are… simple evil ignorant hatred. This is evidenced by the majority of the comments to your own article.
It would not surprise me at all if you, the author of this ridiculous article, is actually a homosexual as well… albeit a deeply closeted and confused homosexual full of self-hatred. If that’s true, hopefully one day soon you will see the light and discover the error of your ways.

Oh this is causing me a lot of concern about my boyfriend of 15 years. He does not display any of these symptoms you identify. If only he displayed one of them I would know. And actually, apart from my love of Glee I dont display any of them either (ok, maybe the sarcasm part but that is part of the australian culture). This is going to make for uncomfortable discussions tonight. Oh wait, there is one sign. He joined the military at the age of 18 and stayed there for 10 years. Is that considered making an extra effort to surround himself with young men? Maybe the trips to asia… oh wait. I live in asia and they are trips to come and see me. Does my choice to live in asia make me obvious? I thought working on the oil rigs would cover that slight flaw in my personality up. All of this true and I doubt would be flagged by your 15 signs.
My advice – if any women are reading this with serious concern – you have a bigger problem. You dont trust your partner. You dont have the ability to ask your partner. Your marriage probably has a lot of issues. This article is not going to help you at all. Gay men are as varied as straight men and these stereotypes are not going to help you at all.

Mr. Billings:
I find your article relatively harmless. It makes a number of assumptions which aren’t really supported by science or fact, merely opinions. However, you ask that your critics explore your source material, so I did.
You have used internet advice columns and blogs as reference materials. In one of your comments you site ABC News as an indication of a credibility. However, having gone to that site, I see that it is little more than a review of Bonnie Kaye’s book. In fact many of your listed links reference or plagiarize this book.
Frankly, your article is simply an expansion of her initial list. I find it more worrisome that you claim to be an “investigative reporter.” I fear a world where this type of writing is considered journalism, rather than the propaganda that it truly is.
We live in a country where free speech is valued and cherished. You have every right, as I do, as anyone does, to express an opinion. However, you are trying to pass off an editorial as an investigative report, which is it not.
A true investigative report would have explored all sides of this “issue,” allowing the reader to draw a conclusion. You have regurgitated a single point of view to support your own position. There’s another word for that: misinformation.

If your husband spends more time at the gym than with you or “works late” alot doesn’t mean he’s gay, it probably means that your marriage is in trouble which you BOTH need to work at!

If a man or woman is struggling with this issue, then they need help and care,
any kind of ‘us’ and ‘them’ thinking isn’t going to help anyone. I’m pretty certain that most people who have these attractions tried to resist them and tried time after time to live a ‘normal’ life. Hypothetically – Can you imagine being in a world in which it was wrong to find people of the opposite sex attractive? You would feel awful, you would have such strong feelings and attraction that couldn’t simply be ignored or shut down. You would try to solve the problem, but there’s nothing to say that you can. Now imagine living your entire life alone because you don’t want to marry someone who you can’t honestly love and you don’t want to do what you know is wrong either. I doubt you can really understand what I mean here, but you should try and think about it.

okay… at first i was a little put off by this. but then i saw a few of the other articles. and found stevenson billings own blog.
he has an article about rabbits raping cats.
read his about mr. billings page
http://stephensonbillings.wordpress.com/about-mr-billings/
both he and this website are obviously satire.
amazingly tricky satire that extremely poignant and brilliant because there are people who have beliefs very similar to these.
and I’m on to you you two or three comment posters who comment a multitude of times on all the articles. You’re in on it too aren’t you?
This site is really a genius example of satire, whoever is behind it deserves an award.

The tone of the rest of the site is the only reason I’m fairly sure this isn’t satire. It’s absolutely absurd to think these stereotypes are honest, real portrayals of gay men. This article presents a view of homosexuals as inherently dishonest, lewd, vain, petty, etc. Basically, a condensation of how the entire site presents homosexuals, all here on one convenient little page of brainlessness.
I will say this for the article, though. Determinedly closeted individuals do often display many of the negative stereotypes of homosexuality and, yes, in that way it is self-destructive and poisonous to the people around them. But it’s the result of twisting themselves into a mold that doesn’t fit. They are more dishonest to themselves than they are to others. So, what is better? If they are pressured or pressure themselves into remaining closeted, a homosexual person is almost certain to engage in the behaviors described in this article. Out gay men overcome the sense of victimization that leads to such behaviors. But out-of-the-closet homosexuals are punished by conservatives for being visible and just for existing. And that is a major source of the fear that keeps people closeted.
Is it better to have out gay people living honestly with themselves and others, focused on the important matters in life instead of trying to hide their sexuality? Or is it better to pressure all gay people into staying closeted, leading them to that self-hatred that makes them toxic to their family, friends and lovers? Conservatives are supposed to be the family values people. So, tell me, which situation really leads to good family relationships?

Oh Mon Dieu! I think this article based on the most common clichés is made to AVOID Christianity! If I was religious, I would run out your steamed little world and open my eyes to the real World.
I think that’s right that’s some women struggles with their husband’s homosexuality, but it’s because PEOPLE LIKE YOU turn homosexuality as the most terrible, guilty sin you can made on earth. And the future-gay married guys feel so guilty and ashamed that they have to lie to their family and bring drama or be totally unhappy for the rest of their life.
All you write about, it’s why I hope religion would be destroyed and erase from earth, because you based your silly thought on allegations and try to serve a God that you don’t know if he is existing. NO ONE know it. No Youtube videos of God or Jesus, no scientific proof of a possible existence. So beliveing so much on something who is not possible to trust scientifically, I think it’s not very smart…

You think you can judge people, THEIR PRIVATE LIFE? Not any of your business dear Monsieur Billings… Don’t worry earth won’t be fill up by GAYS only, that’s not something you woke up the morning and say “oh my! Sunny today, why not becoming gay and watch Glee?”…
I’m happy to believe in something, someone call it God (I do call him like that), but not feeling guilty if I watch Glee, or if I lie one time. God don’t send you to Hell. For me it’s like believing in Santa Claus, you are not 5 anymore. Just grow up, go out of your church, world is not turning around Jesus.
P.S: I’m happy to see that most christian are not homophobic at all and have their brain turn on on “open-minded” button. Yeah, everyone is free to believe in Santa Claus or Jesus, or Allah or on the Gownies but PLEASE don’t try that rules your life… You would be very disapointed in heaven or Hell maybe

How DID this guy graduate from an accredited college or university? If he tried to produce this article as research (from sources such as “Focus On The Family” or “Family Research Council”) where I go to college (Cornell University), the professors would flunk him straight down the slope into Cayuga Lake. Research is supposed to be SCIENCE-based and not on the opinion of the common man who has been socially programmed to believe what is supposed to be. What is “supposed to be” is not the same thing as reality.
That is what separates so-called “Christian” bigots like the author of this article from true Christians. True Christians really need to take a public stand to separate themselves from bigots like this author. When society learns to be fully accepting of the gay community, there will be no reason for gays to hide themselves in heterosexual marriages. How often do bigots ever think of THAT as a solution to what the author is suggesting in his “research?”

Mr. Billings,
Aside from being a paranoid homophobe, you also possess a nearly total lack of knowledge regarding the Constitution. You have some vague, foggy impressions of what you think it says, but when it comes down what is actually contained in the Bill of Rights, you are clueless.
You state:
“I have a right to free speech and the right to practive [sic] my religion THAT IS IN THE CONSTITUTION AND YOU PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SUPPRESS MY FREE SPEECH.”
Actually, no, you do NOT have any Constitutional right which protects your speech from anyone other than the government. I can do what I want to suppress your speech and not violate the First Amendment at all. You can be ostracized or fired for what you say or write and you most certainly can be criticized. Your self righteous sense of entitlement is misplaced.
This is what the First Amendment says:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Notice, the First Amendment protects citizens from GOVERNMENT censorship, not censorship from any other quarter. You may not like it, but you are afforded no Constitutional protection from anyone other than the government.
Besides, as long as you are still posting responses and your idiotic article is still up, it is obvious that the government has NOT censored you and that your First Amendment protections are intact.
Are you a writer by trade? It seems that you are so lacking in basic skills that apparently no reputable publication will hire you, so you are stuck with pedaling your feckless drivel at a site such as Christwire.
A couple of your gems:
“Heaven’s to Betsy” – No capital H is required and you really need to learn the difference between the plural and possessive forms.
“Christian and Patriotic” – Why the capital P?
ALSO, PLEASE SPARE US THE INCESSANT USE OF ALL CAPITALS AND BOLDFACE. Judicious use of capitals can be used for emphasis, BUT OVERUSE TELLS US ALL THAT YOU ARE A SHOUTING GOOBER!
I suggest a bit of time spent brushing up on the Constitution, Strunk & White, and Matthew 5:3-12, 6:9–13; Luke 6:20-26, 11:2–4. Aside from gaining Constitutional and grammatical knowledge, maybe you will realize how un-Christlike your writing comes across. Jesus spent remarkably little time prescribing others to be judgmental, unlike your article.

Excellent article Stephen. I see you have done your research well. There is, however, one tiny flaw: it’s all a complete crock of camel bollocks. Do you actually believe any of this? If you do, that is a really worrying sign. The idea that somebody who claims to be intelligent and perceptive could be so unutterably delusional as to miss the point about homosexuality so massively is deeply troubling. Don’t you get it? Homosexuals just want to be in a loving relationship as much as the next heterosexual person. Of course, just like in any heterosexual scene, there will be groups of people who are quite content to shag around, but the majority do not want that. Your ignorance astounds me.
Furthermore, does the fact that you have about 1,000,000 people on here telling you that you’re talking a loud of poo not make you stop and think ‘hang on, they might be right?’ Or do you think we’re all messengers of Satan, thereby preferring to cloud all logic and common sense by following some other form of ridiculous 13th century Christian anachronism that perverts the overtly true message of the Christian faith, i.e. love thy neighbour?

I’d like to remind you that no accredited university or association of researchers of ANY kind accept “research” done by Family Research Council. Just look at the heading of their website. “Defending freedom, family, etc.”
That is an interest site and statisticians have repeatedly attacked the credibility of this “research” that FRC does based on selectively choosing samples for their research which completely throws off any other researcher’s ability to reproduce the experiment and get the same results.
Learn to use REPUTABLE resources if you want to convince those who are not in your school of thought to join. Otherwise, it is pointless. What you’ve done by going to Family Research Council for information would be like me claiming Jews are terrible people and then using information from Aryan websites who claim to do research. Same exact principle.
TRUE RESEARCH is unbiased and the samples are randomly selected and large enough so that if another research were to study the same research question, he or she would come up with the same results.
Family Research Council is NOT that!

Well, Stephenson, whether this is satire or you are serious, I object to your use of San Francisco in the manner you did in your initial article.
There are many reasons for a married straight man to visit San Francisco alone. Here are just a few:
1) He has business in San Francisco (convention, sales meeting, etc.) and his employer prohibits spousal travel on business trips.
2) He is from the Northern California region and has to return there for a family commitment (death of a parent, maybe?) and the spouse cannot arrange to take time off from work.
3) He is traveling through to another destination and the airline schedules require a stopover in San Francisco between flights.
4) The weather is so cloudy (aka foggy) that flights are delayed, and an unscheduled stopover is necessary through no fault or action of his own.
5) He’s traveling with friends (male or female) to attend a sports or other entertainment event in San Francisco. We have major league sports teams, world-class opera, Gilbert & Sullivan, ballet, and symphony organizations. Not to mention some great local rock and roll, blues, and jazz musicians/groups who perform here.
Oops – I bet anyone who enjoys anything other than country music is gay (or doomed to hell if they like rock and roll).
Are there no gay men anywhere else in the United States?? Are they all in San Francisco?

CORRECTION: San Francisco is no doubt a popular city for the gay community. It does not, however qualify it as the “epicenter of the radical homosexual movement in the US.” Even New York City has a much greater density of members of the gay community living within its borders. There are only two shelters for male victims of domestic violence in the United States. One is located in San Francisco. The other is located in New York City.
We can go on all night arguing about the “epicenter of the radical homosexual movement in the US,” but I’d rather make another point very clear… Using just one city as a sample of “research” does not represent the entire population at large. This is the method by which Family Research Council goes along with their so-called “research” which has never been accepted by peer-review researchers. They choose a sample which they KNOW will tip the results in a direction which supports the claims made by the group. That’s not research. It is disguised, self-serving bigotry. There’s nothing more to it.

Although I do feel that many gay men of certain religious beliefs are forced by society and their religious communities into heterosexual marriages, I find this “gay witch hunt checklist” completely asinine. I dated a girl for a while because the christian community I was a part of made it clear that being gay wrong. I never cheated on her, I was just unhappy. I was convinced I had to live this way: by people like YOU.

Humanity is born sinful and without grace will rot in hell for ever. If there can be any signs of grace giving us hope of eternal bliss then the aura of salvation is about your heads. Stephenson for casting out the usurers and fornicators and blashpemers and sodomites and scribes and pharisees and those possessed of the devil and unbelievers and mockers and seducers and painted women and men and worshippers of other gods and heretics and hypocrites and satanists and idolaters and Baalites and perverters of youth and the unclean and pedophile priests and self-polluters from the Temple of Truth. And Sanda for standing by Your Man for better or much worse till Death You Do Part. And also for your Love of Family and of Christ in the midst of heathens and atheists.
Bless you both so much!

Wow what gaydar you have. No woman wants a man who has been ‘converted’ from gayness BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY ARE ACTUALLY JUST PLAIN OLD GAY!! And anyway you know better than me that gay rehab has a miniscule success rate.I can’t believe this is 2010 and you are actually writing that wearing tight shirts makes you queer. why on earth would you let a minister tell you that its any of your business if someone is gay? You people are so off base- Jesus did not waste his time worrying about such irrelevancies- as no spiritual teacher ever has. You people don’t get it- being ‘spiritual’ means being bigger than that. You don’t go around telling people how to live you worry about what you are doing.
That is like me telling you that you can’t be a born again anymore because I personally think its rubbish. Jesus wasn’t a born again and you know it- he was a Jew, and if he were alive today you all would probably think he was an “incomplete Christian”. there are plenty of religions in the world- the Quakers for example ( a very old and very American religion by the way)(much older and more respected than any megachurch religion will ever be) who were more concerned with charity than being judgemental. They left other people alone kind of like your guru Jesus did. Jesus didn’t even care if you were an adulterer. You can’t base a religion on homophobia.

Oh noez! I’m secretly gay! It’s so secret I don’t even know.
I tend to take my phone calls away from others (thus in secret) out of respect for them. I find it rude when people sit around yapping on the phone ignoring you in person and you only hear half a conversation. As such when my phone rings, I take it outside. I didn’t know I was secretly gay.
Even worse, I’m a night owl, so I stay up late when my girl goes to sleep. As such I’m up late surfing the internet at times. More evidence!!!
And on top of all that I’m a smartass and talk with my hands! I’m totally gay and never knew it.
Sometimes its hot and I take off my shirt cause it is sweaty when I’m outside hanging out with my male friends!

The only REAL way to know your husband is gay is to with until you both die, then see if you can find him in Heaven. If he’s not there, he’s probably frolicking around in some gay Asian subterranean hot lava bath house in Hell.
Might as well enjoy the porn while you’re on Earth, upstanding Christian. Doubtful that they’ll have anything like that in Heaven. It’s probably just bingo and your grandma’s needlepoint club for all eternity.

One more thing. Homosexuality is only a “spiritual” issue because priests tell everyone they’re going to burn in hell for being gay.

We live in a small town, and I am afraid he may be the only gay in the village.

I find it interesting that you adhered to common stereotypes of what it means to be gay in our society. You completely disregarded the fact our gender identities are socially constructed and that it is ok to challenge these gender norms. So what if a guy is feminine or cautious about their appearance? So what if a guy goes to Asia or San Francisco? So what? Straight people perform everything that you have listed as well. To argue that these are behaviors unique to gay men is ignorant. You are trying to build an argument that has no substantial foundation and can be interpreted in many different ways. Please next time do you best to try to write something that is not rubbish.

First of all just to get out there I am not Alice.

You are trying to construct an argument, but it is not valid. I know many straight men that fit your description of what makes a man gay similarly I know many gay people that do not fit your description at all. You argument is based on stereotypes and is strictly opinionative. You basically follow the notion that deviation from what is considered normative masculine behavior makes one a homosexual. Arguing that you wrote the piece as something to help women identify if their husband is gay is completely ridiculous. You possibly do more harm than good.

This article has to be satire, but unfortunately, it reads like so many articles that will settle the question once and for all if your husband is gay. And the fact is, no, there really is no top ten list of warning signs.
Except of course for the “gee, I always knew your husband was gay, what you didn’t know? Hey, none of my business, didn’t wanna interfere” types of former friends.
I divorced a closet homosexual over ten years ago. To this day, he insists he is not gay. But I knew then and I know now. And he doesn’t fit any of these descriptions in the article.
Everyone is different. For my ex, it was secretiveness, and always putting down me and women in general. When I found his homosexual pornography, and confronted him about that and his “colleague” who was I suspect a boyfriend, he became obsessed with proving that I was stupid, inept, crazy. The idea was, he wanted me so discredited in family, in church, among friends, that if I told no one would believe me.
We went to a liberal “Gods inclusive loving” church. And of course, the mantra was “ifonlygaysandlesbianswereaccepteditwouldallbeok”. Well, my ex insisted he wasn’t gay, in a community that included gays and was very tolerant of them. Hmm. Gee, wife, uh, are you sure because he says he’s not gay, and uh not to pry but you shouldn’t talk about this because you’re outing someone against his will, and anyway, are you sure, because he says he’s not gay and you know, we are all inclusive here….
Well, they were inclusive of everyone except me. And over time, as the pastor avoided me, and I was kind of patted on the head and given sympathy when actually things were going pretty good again after the divorce, I came to realize that they really would be happy to see me and the challenge I presented to their “inclusiveness” just leave. So I did.
I am in a more evangelical church now, and the challenge is to actually matter of factly share this with anyone I choose, in an environment where it is just considered icky. But you know, it is ok that it is icky, because it was icky in the liberal church but they wouldn’t admit it. In my present church, we can talk about why it is icky, and usually, hey, someone has a neighbor, a friend, a sister who this happened to, and nobody knew what to do about it.
I got a lot of help from the Straight Spouse Network. But not from my liberal church. The friends I made over several years at the Straight Spouse Network call to see how I am. No one from the liberal church did that, even when I was attending every week, and not even when I was in the hospital with cancer. My evangelical church does call, people want to see how I am, because living alone and being older, they know that we all need a friend.
Not a perfect world, but I can live the truth, and grow and heal. Finally. In truth.
My ex still attends the liberal church, which is facing the possibility of shutting its doors because there is no outreach unless you righteously subscribe to left wing politics. He still denies being gay. He’s very comfortable with all that tolerance.

Stephenson,
Have you even READ the First Amendment? It specifically refers to the government telling people not say things, not individuals, so since there is no crackdown on your speech from a local, state, or the national government, you would be loud and wrong.
Also, why do so many people seem to think that “freedom of speech” equals “freedom from criticism” and “freedom from consequence”? You can say whatever you want…and people you hear or read it ALSO have the right to say what they think in response. Put on your big boy undies and learn to deal with it.
Oh, and screaming “You’re silencing me/violating my freedom of speech!” to silence people saying something you don’t like (ie, criticism of you) is the height of delicious, delicious irony.

Whether this article is satire, genuine, misguided or simply bigoted I don’t know. I don’t know the author or his qualifications or this organisation.
What I do know is that this is a serious issue.
I know this because a little over a year ago, my (then) wife revealed that she is a lesbian (not that she admitted it of course she was still in denial – despite the girlfriend). One of the side effects of this personal disaster has been that I have been helped greatly by an organisation called the straight spouse network, and its founder, Amity Pierce Buxton, (google her for some genuine insight). Another is that I have been exposed to the experiences of hundreds (yes there are many) straight wives married to gay (in denial) men. Because this article is aimed at them, I’ll comment about that alone.
So firstly I will support the 2 million figure. That is a number mentioned in Amitys book and is an estimate of the number of existing wives and exwives of gay men in the US.
Next I would like to draw a distiction between ‘gay’ and ‘gay-in-denial’. Whilst the authors intent may be to attack homosexuality itself, causing gay responders to (rightly) react in defence of their sexuality, I would suggest that the GiD spouse is about as far removed from being a healthy gay individual as they are from being a healthy straight individual. Basically these are weak people, who are ashamed of themselves, and hide from themselves, with layer upon layer of compartmentalisation. They are not engaged in honest relationships of any kind, gay, straight or even with themselves. They have, by necessity, for one reason or another, built up a network of lies and self loathing throughout their ENTIRE lives.
These are not ‘normal gay people’.
So, does the above help the wife ‘spot’ the gay husband? Well, yes it can. First and formost by putting the question on the table. If you are married, and dedicated to that relationship, in blind trust, you simply don’t ask the question. Why would you? Gay men are ‘out there’, why would a gay man marry a woman? So, the question is ignored.
As is the lack of sex, or intimacy (sometimes disguised as a religious quality) before and during the relationship. Imagine a wife who is asked to take an ovulation test before her husband has sex with her, and who will only have sex with her if she will get pregnant, and who is asked to accept this as being normal. Or Imagine how years of physical rejection and open revulsion towards her clouds and destroys her self esteem.
Many of these GiD men have issues that stem from their denial. Addiction IS common amongst them, and yes, it is a side effect of depression too, which in itself is fuelled by their denial. Other psychological effects, controlling behaviour and emotional abuse also spring from the same source. These men have been torturing themselves all their lives, so it is little wonder that their wives end up with the fall out.
As for the stereotypes, well, stereotypes exist because they do reflect a portion of the truth. GiD husbands who do have more shoes than their wife and who organise their pastel shirts by shade DO exist. GiD husbands who use their membership of church organisations to hang around male youth groups DO exist. And yes, the used condoms in the gym bag (above) is probably a true experience. That is typical of the conflicted behaviour of a GiD spouse trying subconsciously to ‘out’ himself, as is the ‘stupidity’ of not deleting browser history.
Quite frankly some of the behaviour is so bizarre and some of the things that they expect their wives to simply accept is, well, sick. sick in a poorly sense.
Because that is what we are dealing with. Not healthy gay people, but sick minded and often piteous individuals, who, sadly, in some cases WILL seek to deliberately use and abuse their wives or their ‘beards’ as they term them.
Of course, for every ‘stereotypical’ GiD husband, there is another one, who is not at all. And some of the above (Hey I’m into Sci Fi, and like ‘Friends’ too, and typing this without a shirt on (be calm ladies)) is ridiculous. And whilst some women DO find that they have attracted multiple ‘gay’ suitors, it is not because they are looking for a ‘shopping buddy’ (which is insulting), it is often because they are deeply giving people, who are ‘caretaker’ types, and who are thus attractive TO the GiD spouse.
Of course, being gay is not a choice, and for our broken spouses, its not much of a choice in how they deal with it, or with us, nevertheless, that IS a choice, as is our response. Some of the GiD husbands deal with it better than others.
The response of churches, therapists and counselors, varies as much as the GiD spouses themselves. Therapist advice, used to dealing with issues ‘one at a time’ and conventional marriage counselling is like whispering at a storm. They don’t get it, simply because they havent lived it, or been trained in it. Fundamentalist approached to ‘pray the gay away’ or to value the ‘institution’ of marriage above all are pointless, since all they do is try to preserve a rotten fruit, or at their worst, add guilt to an emotionally abused and in crisis wife. Treating the ‘gayness’ as a sin is what drove these men to perputrate the greater sin of a lifetime of deciet, cheating, and fraudulant theft of a womans life in the first place.
Again, these are not healthy gay individuals. They have spent years running rings around themselves, the well meaning pastor or college bred therapist doesnt stand a chance.
‘The power of DENIAL commands thee’.
So, whilst taking pot shots at this article, I would ask you to spare a thought for the wives themselves. If you’re gay (or not) and know closeted gay men who are hiding from their wives, encourage them to come out. Fully. Quickly. Encourage them to treat their wives with respect. If you are GiD yourself, or are recently out, point your spouse in the direction of the Straight Spouse Network, the one and (sadly) only place for real help for them.
And trust me on this. You KNOW someone who is a (probably closeted)’straight spouse’. Sadly, we are legion, and we deserve a voice, and support, so, regardless of the intent of this article, I thank the author for helping to air the issue.

Conservatives can’t get enough concerning men who are gay as well as formulating detailed descriptions of gay sexuality. However, their discussions are oriented more towards the dysfunctional aspects of sex as it relates to conservative gay men who are frauds, who are married, and who do the freakiest things behind their wives’ backs while demeaning openly gay men. Why this article anyway? These freaks – even after being outed in some cases – remain married after blaming their adultry on weakness brought on by the devil. Their real weakness is from within and it is their complete lack of self-respect, their inability to be men and admit they’re gay and their lack of respect for family and others. Grow up.

This article is quite horrible.
It is very stereotyped and pushes quite a heterosexist agenda.
It is about time people move from the traditional gender roles society often places upon men and women.
One’s choice of wardrobe, level of personal hygiene, and other similar aspects of a person’s life/personality, does not define their sexuality.

Homophobia and bigotry are not “patriotic,” Stephenson. I don’t want to live in whatever country you believe we live in.
It’s respectable to want to help women who do have this problem, but the problem with your advice is it sucks. It’s based on crappy stereotypes, and it glosses over the foundation of what makes a healthy marriage – communication and mutual respect.
I’m going to assume you don’t have a counseling degree, you don’t know a thing about gay people, and you don’t care to know a thing about gay people… besides knowing that they’re gay so you can avoid them like the plague. Until you have some background on this topic you wish to advise on, I would suggest you revoke the article. If you truly desire to help people in this kind of situation, get a degree. Get an education. Learn something about the world before spewing your ignorance into it.
And a gay man is a “natural” man – it’s like saying a black guy and white guy are different kinds of humans. You don’t realize that that’s what you’re saying, but you are.

I don’t understand how a sudden interest in lubricants can spark homosexuality. My dad and mom love Glee and are both sarcastic people.
I asked my dad if he was gay based upon the following reasons:
He has a gym membership
He is sarcastic
He purchases lubrication from Target so my parents can have sexual intercourse without dryness
He is very clean and organized (he uses a toothbrush to clean the tile flooring)
He works out at the gym and spent a majority of his Thirties teaching young men raquetball.
He watches Glee and many other shows and movies considered Pop Culture
He works outdoors with his shirt off
He travels to Oakland and San Francisco for work about once a month.
My father responded first that he has never had a desire to be with a man beyond simple friendship. He doesn’t feel the need to do anything but play sports, build houses and work on cars. Homosexuality is not something he wavers towards.
Second my father feels that in this day an age of divorce among all faiths and backgrounds, going into a relationship should be entered with honesty, humility and self awareness. He is in his marriage with my mom because who she is. He also realizes that hurting someone by being dishonest, especially for a long period of time, whether it be homosexuality, gambling, alcoholism, etc. is not a marriage, it’s one person being selfish in a bond that is about being a team.

Some women need lubrication particularly if they’ve approached menopause and cannot lubricate naturally like when they were young.

And it’s garbage like this that cause young men AND women to develope serious emotional scars when they are trying to deal with an already difficult situation. But what pissed me off the most is the number three statement. “Feigning attention in church and prayer groups” This is more in line the a pediphile than a GAY man.

From an early age, sexual predators learn to wear many masks. The reason every time a serial killer is arrested his neighbors say, “He was a quiet nice man” is not because he was truly nice, but rather because he spent his lifetime perfecting a mask of civility and normality to fly under the radar, specifically so that his horrific crimes would not be seen. The same holds true for the homosexual and many indeed take deep cover within a marriage.

2. outrageous claims
3. self-righteousness about it
4. simpleton logic, writing, blaming another group for your problems
5. appeal to fear, ignorance, and hatred of others, from your audience.

P.S. Mr. Billings, the Constitution protects your speech from GOVERNMENT action, not personal attacks from people who know you are full of crap. This article is exactly what is wrong with this country. Christians are not supposed to judge others. In fact the Bible tells us not to judge and that if we are free from sin then we can cast the first stone. Also how can you be such an expert on homosexuality? Are you a homosexual? God created all of us in a very unique way and if a man acts differently from another man or in what you call a feminine way does not make him a homosexual. Please educate yourself before you fill the internet and other Christians with these hate filled ideas. And stop JUDGING people and giving criteria for others to JUDGE. If a woman suspects her husband is a homosexual she needs to have a talk with him and then find a way to deal with it. These 15 criteria are rediculous gender norms. I hope that you pray to God to find a better calling in life than spreading hate, that is the devil’s work.

So I suppose the flipside of this is that if a man really wants to prove he’s straight, he needs to be witless. Though, how will he ever get a smart woman that way? Ah, such a conundrum!

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out[a] the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

There are lots of lesbians married to men too, and their look and behaviors scream lesbian. For some they didn’t realize they were lesbian until they hit middle age. One woman’s daughter told her mom and dad that she had gay parents. One kid told her mom that she thought her mom was gay, and that her mom needed to check it out. For others, they were taught that they grow up and marry a man, and didn’t even know what gay was. Some even joined the convent. I can’t imagine having bad sex for 20 years because I couldn’t figure out what the deal was until I had sex with a woman. Back in the day women were taught to let their man crawl on top and do his business to keep him happy….Society has really screwed up folks.

Here…I’ll get you started:

2) He wears his collar a quarter inch lower than usual.
3) His collection of topless Jesus paintings is much larger than his collection of Jesus in a robe.

Look in your heart, realize that Jesus is trying to show you the REAL light, save yourself before it’s too late. Find a gay man, and give him a hug from Jesus. Don’t worry Stephenson, gay isn’t contagious, and they won’t be turned on by your hugs. Unless they’re into ugly people.

It’s so TRUE!!!! And so BRILLIANTLY explained. I think it needs to go a step further. I have composed some common dialoue scenarios to go with each of the numbered scenarios above to help further identify these hiding homosexuals:
1) “So what if it’s four a.m.? Haven’t you ever had a toothache in the middle of the night, Pam? I need to do some research. I’m going to need a drilling and you know how sensitive I am to Novocain.”
2) “I gave Barney’s a lot of money for this jacket. Bob didn’t say a word about it. It’s very rare to find true fuchsia in cashmere. At least he could have said something. I’m going to ignore his presentation at tomorrow’s sales meeting.”
3) “Do you think Jesus would mind if I went home to watch Project Runway? They’ve rerunning the old fight between Wendy Pepper and Kara Saun.”
4) This is bullshit! I will not use Herbal Essence. And for the love of Sarah Palin, I have a dry-oily combination in my T-zone. There’s a reason why I insisted we move close to a Sephora. Mary and Joseph, it’s four o’clock already. Now I’ll never be ready by nine!”
5) “I am not running outside. Two hours a day on the flat surface of a treadmill and my knees are still constantly sore. And what if it gets windy? It’s bad enough that my gym short have made my pubic hair practically vanish – I’d freeze!”
6) “Hon, can you take my new Ed Hardy – the one with the green dragon down the back…. with the sparkly eyes…no the other one….right, can you take that to the Chinese lady at the Dry Cleaners and see if she can take it in about two inches? I need it to be firmer, snugger around my chest until my hair grows back – if it every does. I still can’t figure out how that happened.”
7) “Pretend like you just bump into me and it accidentally happens. Yeah, like I’m not even noticing you and then suddenly it happens. Well, I don’t know how that situation would occur. It’s just a fantasy. Well, you said you were the one who wanted to spice it up. Okay, so let’s try it. I’m not looking at you. I don’t see you. La la la ….OUCH! Ow, that was too hard. Try it again. Okay, la la la…”
9) “Honey? Princess-Pie? Bumblebee? Don’t be mad but I have to go to Thailand again. It’s my job! That’s where the new sock factory is being built. Jesus Christ, is it my fault the Democrats are driving American business out of our borders? Do you think I want to spend 11 days in that dirty, crazy city? Holy Mary, just walking around there makes me feel disoriented. I can’t think straight. I can’t even remember where or who I am.”
10) “What is it about these young guys and their hugging? I have Sal and Joey their Xmas presents at the office today and we hugged for like an hour. I said, Sal, it’s just a quarter ounce of Tom Ford White Leather, don’t crush my ribs. I’m almost as old as Bill O’Reilly. And you Mister Joe-Joe, I’m glad you liked your D&G scarf but I think your beard gave me a rash. What is it with you 20-somethings and your beards?”
11) “Janet, will you watch my bowling ball for a minute? Paul and Frank want me to go to little boy’s room with them. Frank probably needs us to help pull him out of those leather pants, my god! What’s that Frank? I don’t care if you did hear me, Bitch. Girlfriend is too fat for those pants!”
12) My my my Pokerface. My Pokerface.
13) “Susie, take off that sweater at least. It’s burning up out here. So what if there’s too much fog to see the water? It’s still hot. No, you’re shivering because you’re rude, not because it’s cold. Whew! I’m taking it down to my skivvies. Fine, you stay here and pretend to be miserable. I’m going for a walk. And I won’t be back until you’ve turned that frown upside down even if it takes all day. Trust me, I’ll know!”
14) “We were in the Cheesecake Factory having Cosmos like we always do after work when it’s someone’s birthday. Dean went out to smoke a cigarette and I followed him to talk about the new restructuring package when I dropped my phone and it fell into a rain gutter. When we both reached down to get it we bumped heads. Well, his was so slippery with all that expensive Olaf Henricksen products he uses that his head slid all over my neck and my jacket and my collar. I said, Jesus, Dean, we know you’ve got sensational hair but do you have to get it all over me?”
15) “So, I enjoy reading Perez Hilton, what of it? It takes the edge of my day. Well, I don’t care if Tommy used to read Perez, too. It doesn’t make me Tommy. Millions of people read it. Honey, please, the kids can wait another five minutes. I just want to know what Taylor Lautner wore to the Germany Twilight premier and then I’ll take them. They won’t suffocate.

You have no compassion for those few naive people who might actually take you seriously, rather than immediately laugh at you and hope to never think of you again.

Ladies, if you even have to read this article or truly suspect that your husband is gay, you’re either neurotic or married to a queen. You will KNOW if he’s gay in the same way many women “know” when their husband is cheating.
This list is beyond ridiculous and should NOT be taken as a serious tool of evaluation.
Finally, here’s a novel concept…talk to him! Don’t guess, have a conversation. Perhaps I’m being stereotypical, but women seem to frequently complain about their men not talking, but then they go about “evaluating” their men without even having a respectful conversation. Why talk if you’re mind-readers who can tell what we are or are not thinking?

First off, Billings, I’d like to know what your deal is with “Motivational Children’s Party Entertainer” as a career choice. I mean, really? Is that what you’re going with? That sounds dangerously close to “pedophile predator.”
Maybe you should look into that.
Secondly, as a straight guy who has had a number of dubiously “straight” men bully him since childhood, I’d have to say that the number one sign that a “straight husband” is gay might be his overwhelming, overt hatred of homosexuals.
Seriously guys…if you’re confident about your heterosexuality and your “relationship with Jesus” or whatever, how you just be happy with that and pipe down?

Oh wait, isn’t one of the signs you mention that a man hangs around with much younger men. and aren’t you a children’s motivational speaker? Wow… perhaps pedophile comes to mind for you?
No, I’m not making a serious accusation that you’re a pedophile. But it just shows what drivel you are spewing.
FYI, God is love. Period. Doesn’t sound like much of what you espouse is love based. Sounds to me it’s “change your evil ways and you’ll get love from God.” Hrrrm… not what I get out of the Bible at all. Just sayin.
And while I’m on it, the men that enter into false relationships with women (and the women who do so with men) because they’re ashamed do so because of people like YOU. Because of the hate and bigotry and nonsense that people use to shame others. Again, doesn’t sound like the kind of love God means for us.

You are completely correct in every point here! Praise your wisdom! My second husband, Bruce, also turned out to be gay! I did worry when he had more groomsmen than me, and that he insisted on lavendar and eggplant as our wedding colors. (Although, I have to admit, he’s right, he does look great in jewel tones).
Praise you for suggesting that we women pay attention to more than just cleaning and casseroles. I have sought out help from our pastor, Ned, and my husband has been spending time with him too. They are both into scrapbooking, thank heavens, a non-gay kind of activity so they can talk and discuss these issues. With time and patience, I hope that he may be able to convince my husband that his “alternative” lifestyle will lead to nothing except burning in hell with Satan!
I am hoping that my newest husband will not go the way of Robert who is living a life of absolute sin somewhere in New York City. As we know, almost all men who live in New York is gay except for the firemen and the men in the show Sex and the City. Oh, and Donald Trump.

But there is no need to be either repressed or ashamed, it’s a perfectly acceptable way to be if that is your inclination. I’m a red-blooded hetero but I have many wonderful and loyal gay friends. C’mon man, fess up, chill out, and join the 21st century.

A former high school football athlete, Mr. Billings also enjoys being an eBay Powerseller and a Motivational Children’s Party Entertainer (working in the Auguste method) in his hometown in Tennessee. His hobbies include antique soda bottle collecting and the piano.”
Perhaps his list of homosexual tendencies should have included “loves to entertain you boys at private parties” and “is just TOO into antiques!” This guy has GOT to be kidding me. Mr. Stephenson, if you are gay ITS TOTALLY OK!!! Come out of the closet!

I’m happy to report that this site gets less hits than my average run of the mill music website, so this article is probably their highest trafficked post, possibly ever (thanks in large part to the Huffington Post link). The best part: homosexuality isn’t even addressed in the Bible, only the hate-filled people who determined what books made it into it are obsessed with it. When people do their research and read all of Jesus’ disciples’ books (especially including the ones that weren’t chosen to be represented in the Bible), they will find a very different man than Christianity wants us to see. One who ultimately accepted everyone to the highest degree. One who cared about treating your fellow man with respect and dignity no matter what.

So you’re not trying to reach out to others? You only want to preach to your “flock” of right wing nutters?
I think you have serious troubles! I would never let you entertain any child!
I cannot believe that in this day and age you actually think you’re doing the right thing.
Do you really believe the world is going to move backwards towards your ideals? If you haven’t noticed the world is letting go of the pathetic closed minded people like yourself. I think you should start taking a more christian stance on your preaching! You are supposed to be a repressentative of your god are you not? Do you think he wants you to be openly hating soooo many of his children?
Please clarify this for me… you preach that jesus loves everybody? not so?
And that god hate gays and all sorts of other people? not so?
So one of the following is a lie! –
either god and jesus are in fact not the same person(which is preached to be so as they are all one with the holy trinity).. and cant be since the one hates and the other only loves..
or god doesn’t love/hate any person unless they’re following his way?! And if thats the case.. i think he’s going to lose a lot of support.
Would you hate your son if he was gay?

Here are 10 more ways you can definitely know if your husband is gay:
1. A male hooker reveals to the press that he has been having sex for the past three years with your husband, the vehemently anti-gay pastor of a 12,000 member “church” in Colorado Springs and president of the National Association of evangelicals.
2. Your husband, a Republican senator from Idaho who has actively opposed gay rights and voted for every piece of legislation to limit them, has been arrested by undercover cops in an airport men’s room after being caught groping into the toilet stall next to his.
3. Your husband, who has made a career out of marginalizing gay people and fighting against equal protection for them, got caught after hiring a gay prostitute from Rentboy.com to give him daily nude massages on a tour of Europe.
4. After losing his Republican bid for the California senate race that he just spent $6 million on, your husband tells the press he is “bi-sexual” and now donates more than half of the total funds the Log Cabin Republicans raise each year.
5. Your outspokenly anti-gay husband, who also happens to be a former Republican member of the Washington state legislature and now is the mayor of Spokane, is caught in an internet sting making explicit sexual advances to an 18-year-old man. He has also been accused by two other men of having had sex with them while they were underage and in the boy scouts. All this happens after your husband just vetoed domestic partnership benefits for city employees.
6. Your state assemblyman husband, who supported Proposition 8 and has worked to pass other legislation against gay people, is arrested for drunk driving at 2 a.m. after spending the evening in a gay bar in Sacramento. He has another man in his car when he’s pulled over.
7. Your husband, the chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, is prosecuted for having sex with an underage boy.
8. Your husband, a Washington State lawmaker, resigns after it is revealed that he has been paying men to have sex with him.
9. Your husband, the chairman of the Orange County, California GOP, is arrested after having sex with a 14-year-old boy he met on the internet.
10. You walk in on your husband–the outspokenly anti-gay Attorney General of Alabama, who has worked to get legislation enacted to criminalize gay sex in that state–having sex with the Homecoming King of Troy University.
Bonus highly suspicious behaviors that probably mean your husband is gay:
1. He starts a quasi religious political organization called “Focus on the Family” and uses it as a platform to spread misconceptions about gay people.
2. He has any involvement whatsoever in any anti-gay or ex-gay group.
3. He uses the word “faggot.”
Basically, ladies, it’s like this: if your husband is a Republican Evangelical politician or minister, there’s about a 70 percent chance he secretly admires Judy Garland, Cher, Madonna, or Lady Gaga, depending on his age. He is in the closet, girls. However, once he is outed, don’t expect him to get a rousing welcome in the Castro, Provincetown, Chelsea, West Hollywood, or Key West. We don’t want his sorry, flabby ass, bad dye job comb-over, and hypocrisy.

I was reading your article when I suddenly realized several of the characteristics you lay out apply to me..
I was a happily married, heterosexual man, blissfully unaware of my own seething gayness billowing just under the surface..
1. I have a gym membership
2. I’ve been to San Fransisco
3. I bathe on a regular basis, and I’ve even used hair gel and trimmed my pubes! (I always thought that was for my wife’s benefit, to keep her attracted to me by not having to sleep next to a hairy, mouth-breathing, ape who smelled like arm-pit and ass, but I now see the true meaning behind it)
4. I’ve been known to be a little sarcastic. My mother nick-named me “smart ass” when I was a kid.. I had no idea straight men weren’t supposed to have a sense of humor! I have to proclaim ignorance on that one. I honestly had no idea that was a symptom of homosexuality..
5. I have several male friends! Some of them I’ve even kept in touch with since High School! Oh God, we took gym classes together! I’ve seen some of them naked!
Even though I’ve never found myself sexually attracted to a man, fitting SO many of these characteristics is far too coincidental to be ignored..
I was afraid I had been infected with “The Gay”..
I immediately sought help.. I wen to my church for guidance.. What I found there was equally disturbing. (keeping your list in mind)
The man delivering the sermon spoke rather flamboyantly. He used his hands a lot while addressing the flock. He wore (in my opinion) a very extravagant robe with several bright colors and glittery gold shapes. He was surrounded by younger men, boys really, who looked like they were submissive to his every command, and they kept carrying candles and incense all over the place, which just seems soooper gay if you ask me..
Then I began observing the depictions of Christ found everywhere in the room. I noticed the large crucifix above the altar. Have you ever checked out the bod on Jesus? THAT DUDE WAS CUT! In his rock-star pose up there, all sweaty, showing off every glistening muscle, wearing only that shredded speedo. And those abs!!! Christ, he must’ve spent months at the gym workin on those babies!
Not to mention all of the suggestive paintings in the place. Kneeling, looking upward with those beautiful, wanton, blue eyes. His perfect flowing long hair glistening in the moonlight.. Disturbing
I looked into it.. Its no wonder homosexuality is so rampant in our society! I read about this guy, and the things I found out about him in the bible were sickening. Do you have any idea how many people have read that book? Some people read it every day!
Not only did he never marry, but he constantly wandered the dessert with several men who followed him everywhere! 12 to be exact! There was this part about a touching embrace with some guy named John in a pond.. It was practically pornographic! He hung out with whores and the diseased, and preached this overtly liberal agenda that was all about feeding the poor, helping the blind, the dying, and any other loser looking for a hand out!
Several other things clued me in to the fact that this guy was a raving homo too.. He was Jewish, (so you know he wasn’t any good at sports). He was born in a nice small town, but moved the big city of Jerusalem. He never owned property or fathered children, and it turns out, he wasn’t even American!
Thank God the Romans finally stepped in to silence this lefty, pinko, fag before his liberal filth spread all over the globe, by dishing out some good-ol’ capital punishment! That sissy-boy didn’t even have the balls to ask God to smite them! He asked for their forgiveness in fact! What a Nancy!
The world needs someone like you to take up this fight Mr Billings! You need to rid the world of such filth and false ideology! God bless you Stevenson! God bless you!

Dear Mr. Billings,
I’d like to thank you for this article. You see, until recently, I had a husband that I loved ever so dearly. I then logged onto Prime Time Reviews (as usual) and found another article called “Is My Husband GAY?” You see, I’ve been suspecting my husband’s a homosexual for years now, ever since that day he came home and was actually good in bed (unlike most heterosexual men who aren’t good in bed). I know he’s a homosexual, and here’s the story.
I came home to find my husband mowing the lawn looking very hot (sweaty kind of way)… without a shirt. I became skeptical and asked what he was doing. He said he was mowing the lawn. I knew something was up. So I asked why he wasn’t wearing a shirt. He said it was very hot it. It was only 90 degrees so my skeptical side rose up.
I Googled “is my husband gay?” and found this article, again. I only used this article and none other because I’m the typical lazy Christian who doesn’t like looking up multiple sites to prove my point. Anyhow, I found that my husband does indeed may late night calls. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and find him dressing up in his work clothes, picking up his briefcase I filled with files for his job and rushing to get ready because he had a “late night meeting”. I didn’t trust him.
I also noticed that he’s recently began looking at other men in the gym (we both have subscriptions) and then always puts on a sad face. I questioned why he did this. He said that he doesn’t have a six pack like all the other men and felt a little jealous, considered he has a small beer belly. My suspicion grew. I knew he was lying, and that depressed face added to it. And then it hit me the next day… He was JEWISH! No, not Christian! Without Jesus in his heart I KNEW he was going to be tempted to be a homosexual and suddenly stop loving the woman he fell in love with! I couldn’t let this happened, and checked this one site again and no other, unbiased of course. And I recalled he doesn’t like any sports, either. He tells me that he’s far too busy to be watching sports, but of course, I didn’t trust him. I kept looking at this article for answers.
He also wears skinny jeans and tight tank tops. He tells me so it’s inspiration for him to lose some of that beer belly weight, because he looks a little fat in that clothing. This couldn’t be true. And that night, you know what he did? He asked to do me ANALLY! I couldn’t believe it. My husband was turning into a homosexual.
He then told me the next day he was going off to Tokyo for ANOTHER business meeting. I was just about ready to cry when he said he had to bring his MALE (and younger than he) coworkers into the carpool, AND the plane! I really wanted to stone him, because that’s what the Bible says. But I didn’t have all the solid proof to stone him… Not yet.
When he came back a day later (he took a “jet” apparently), he made a sarcastic remark to his coworker, and shut the car door, then telling me how “annoying” that man is. I shut my mouth and continued the day like any other.
He then sat down, turned on the television, and watched… would you guess? GLEE. I screamed, “NOOO!” and pounced towards the remote, removing it and turning on another channel… The sports channel. He told me that I knew he hated sports and I yelled at him to watch it. And he watched it. I went into the other room and cried.
He began drinking and drinking then that night… I kept asking him why, why, and he said that all this stress I’ve been causing HIM, and something about work and his annoying coworkers, is making him get a drinking problem! How dare he!
So we broke it off yesterday. I remembered I’ve dated one man in high school who turned out to be gay, and another in my 20s who turned out to be gay. That’s TWO cases, out of the 20 men I’ve dated, so it HAD to be true.
Thank you, Christ Wire. I’m incredibly depressed and thinking about suicide, but at least you saved me from a relationship that would’ve went down the drain and ended naturally instead of forcefully.

Well, One certainly understands most of the posts here. Not that I necessarily want to defend the article, but it was written for a specific audience. Sort of like telling a family story outside of the family. It will never make sense outside the family, I guess. That said, even within the family, the points of this article are interesting, but specious. The pastor at my church would be conssidered a homosexual pedofile according to this. Which is both rediculous, and eybrow raising at the same time. Because, I have occasionally thought he might be, or have been at some past point in his life lived as a gay man. I don’t know, but more importantly, I don’t really care. So he wears skinny jeans, a neck scarf, talks with a slight lisp, and has slightly effeminate hand gestures. I know him to be a great person, loving husband and father. And if he is closeting something, who knows. If he were unfaithful to his wife with a man OR a woman, it would be wrong regardless.
I think the real reason this article seems wrong is the naive assuption that “gay” means a certain caricature that has been set up by so many conservative christian minded folk. That being the effeminate, oversexed, pedophilic, sinner. The fact is, is that person is not GAY. A gay person is a someone just like you and me. They run, bike, play sports, listen to music, volunteer, love God, doubt God, challenge, work, play, love life and those around them. They also happen to like to be with, for what ever reason, people of their own gender. If a person who is an oversexed, pedofilic sinner, then that is who they are. If they are gay or straight, they still need to be dealt with the same way.
All that said, I will admit, that some of the points the author made rang true with me…married longer than most of you posters have been alive, I did start getting bored in my marriage. I hung around saunas and steam rooms because of the charge I would get that wasn’t happening at home. I travel extensively, giving me ample opportunity to live the Vegas lifestyle(What happens in vegas stays in vegas). And befor long, I was starting to drift over to a more gay lifestyle. Yes I wear skinny jeans, keep up my appearance, and things like that. (Some of the points, but definitely not all)My marriage imploded, and I am confused sexually.
So, while I can see some of myself in this article, some of the points are more of some weird stereotype that ignorant people have of gay people. Yet, based on my life story, I suppose there is a grain of truth to some of it… Just sayin’

As a CHRISTIAN I am appalled by this article. First of all, I have friends who are gay. Guess what, not a single one of them even barely fits that description provided above. I do, however, know a ton of straight guys who have aspects described above. May I also point out that the entire Bible is a book in which “stereotypical” people do non-stereotypical things (take the disciples for instance; they were fishermen and tax collectors, not holy men). Why, then, are you so insistent on stereotyping an entire group? I know that I do not have enough room in this response area to change the mind of the author, but I do hope that the author can embrace the love of Jesus and realize that his hate and stereotypical views of homosexuals does nothing more than make him sound bitter and resentful and in no way a reflection of Jesus. Please, no one allow this one person’s stereotypical reasoning turn you away from Christianity. Don’t let his stereotyping stereotype us as a group either. Not all Christians are angry, spiteful persons who attack other groups. To anyone who is gay and happened upon this article, whether this man believes so or not, God loves you and I at least am not going to argue with God’s love.

There is no science to this, any more than there is science to the superiority of white people. There is no value in denigrating anyone. There is no faith based on domination or ridicule.

I know this point is so not-the-main-focus of this whole discussion, but I’d just like to comment on glee.
Glee is basically a musical. Yes it has a teenager that plays the role of a frustrated gay. Is that why you think that glee is only for gays and girls? Or do you think that guys are incapable of appreciating musicals? Yes within the people who appreciate the show, there are more females than males, but that doesn’t make all the males who like the show gay.
Just saying, if this holds true, the broadway probably only sold tickets to females and a little bit of gay men throughout history. Oh and guys that pretend to like music – you know, guys aren’t supposed to like music. They just feign it.
On a very sad note, my boyfriend likes Glee. He must be gay. So even though he’s an awesome boyfriend and that we have a wonderful sexual relationship, I should break up with him. That gay guy actually managed to fool all his exs and me into believing he was straight. What a total jerk.

I am glad to see you were willing to post one of your references, unfortunately, this is FALSE. I just looked up Glee on the PTC list. The only WARNING (note: not condemnation) they give is that the show deals with some frank sexual situations, primarily referring to the teen pregnancy of one of the main characters.
I hate to break it to you Mr. Billings but teen pregnancy exists. If you bothered to do research (like watch the show) you would see that Glee’s writers handled the situation in a very sensitive manner that would HELP teens.

Well, after reading the first half of the comments and getting tired of it, I just feel like something should be thrown in here. Maybe it’s been said already, maybe not. Either way it’s important and worth saying again. No doubt, Stephenson will have something negative to say about it. But here is my point anyway:
Don’t bother with getting so worked up about this, people. Frankly, it’s kind of silly. Does he really believe what he writes? Yes. Is his viewpoint going to piss off those who disagree? Yes. Is bitching him out online going to change his mind or perspective or make him withdraw the article? No.
Pardon the offensive simile, but arguing online is like racing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded. Everyone is bold behind the keyboard, where no one can see your face or know who, what, and where you are. It’s safe, no matter what you say. He is no different. Arguing with him will get you nowhere, and I know you all must have better things to do.
And the truth of the matter is, no matter how offensive, incorrect, and unfair all of this may be…ultimately, it doesn’t matter. Nothing about this article matters even the slightest. It’s utterly unimportant and will never amount to anything beyond this space. It’s just an ignorant internet blog, like so many other ignorant bloggings. No big-time, respected journal would dare to print it. Nothing more than a local paper or church newsletter in a community that agrees with the ideas it promotes would even consider it. It’s just too controversial and not properly cited (fyi, Stephenson, printed sources require proper citation to be considered valid. Not just links to sources. Not a criticism, simply a reminder, as this is something you really should know by now if you have the experience in journalism that you claim you do). Therefore…none of this matters. At all. So how should we react to it?
Like you would react to any middle-school bully. Ignore it. In your mind, it should no longer exist. This has been posted because the author wants attention. Pure and simple. Nothing is ever posted for public viewing unless the person posting it wants to be noticed. So how do you deal with the problem? Ignore everything about it. Let it fade out of existence, never look at it again. You stop being agitated, he stops getting reasons to be nasty and rude and have the fun little arguments he seems to love inciting. He’s like a child, and as psychology has well proven: if you ignore the behavior entirely, it’s not fun anymore. Even negative attention is still attention. Your anger is just as rewarding as your praise. So don’t provide either. The only one who loses here, then, is him.
Will people come across this page in the future? Probably. But if people believe this or agree to it, it really doesn’t matter how much you argue with them or the author. You cannot change someone’s mind unless they want it to be changed. And he has made it perfectly clear that he refuses to come out of his delusions to see the world as it actually is. So let him be there. And quit makin such a fuss over something so silly and so incredibly not worth your time.
Thanks! Now run along and play, children.

I’m sure somewhere in all of this there is a frank and honest scriptural exergesis, but most likely not.
Young gay men, and particularly young gay Christians, end up in unhappy marriages because the right-wing sola scriptura churches fail to recognise the emotional and psychological damage they inflict on people through their rhetoric and condemnation which ignores any theological debate and chance to have open debates.
I’m sure that a gay Christian living in a monogamous and loving relationship with their partner is more likely to find themselves enveloped in the love and grace of God, then any memeber of a church which so vehemently twists data, and ignores the awkward aspects of research and the word of God that does not fit their human constructed point of view.
Christ came to create peace between men, to encourage us to live by love, and throughout history the Church has been guided by the Father through the Spirit acknowledging it’s faults and being enlightened by reason and experience. Surely if the God we worship can send the Spirit to create a multitude of denominations then the Father can certainly change His mind on the matter of people loving each other.
But then maybe denominations are just an aspect of man’s egotism and sense of self-importance and have nothing to do with God but the vain ambitions of men aiming to force people to believe like they want them to. But I would hate to take any person down the road of looking at themselves and their own minute to minute failings…
Anyway, enough rambling, and do not call me left-wing, there is a place for social sensibilities in the right-wing of this world. Just leave you with one last point:

“We also have something in this country called “FREEDOM OF RELIGION” which you people seem to forget.”
Oh! By that reasoning gay marriage is acceptable. I’m glad we agree on something.
Stevenson, I sincerely hope you actually go out and meet some gay men and women, and actually talk to him and not just say things that would alienate them. Like all other human beings, there are some truly wonderful gays and some not so great ones. If you are going to write an article trying to identify whether or not someone is gay, then you should actually go and meet them. I do think there’s a grain of good in the article, in that if women(or men) in their relationships feel that their husband or wife might be gay, they should talk to them. If the spouse is suspicious, obviously all is not well in the relationship. If someone is gay(and not just bi) in a marriage, then that’s not fair to either parties.
Aside from some of the rage and scorn your article has generated, I do hope you read them with an open mind, because there are some very good points in there. The people commenting have every right to be angry as well. You may not think so, but a lot of the stereotypes you pointed out are not true and it is harmful to bring them up as fact.

Hearsay and biased generalizations; nothing reliable or fair. I cannot believe how easily the superstition-driven fall into stereotyping so easily! Just as there are promiscuous gays, so there are promiscuous heterosexuals and yet out of convenience to the biblical world view, you label gays as this or that when the vast majority of gays actually defy much of what you write! Insofar as the secrecy, consider that for centuries in most of the West gays and lesbians have had to live part of their lives in secrecy – with no alternative – because of traditions and stigmas imposed on us by the fear-based religion of the moment. Imagine you, as a heterosexual, being expected to marry a person of the same gender, and shamed for thinking, feeling, desiring, etc anything else. Try having a healthy sexuality under those conditions! Truly, think about it. You condemn gays holding hands in public (or private, for that matter) and then slam them for a less than healthy sexuality. When gays finally in the 1970s began to be able to open up about who we are, we inherited centuries of identification of our sexuality with fleeting, hidden, impersonal sex because it was THE ONLY OUTLET for our sexual fulfillment, even if it was only a partial fulfilling for so many of us. Most of the gays I know want much more than quick sex, and most have solid relationships, but overcoming that association of our sexuality with simply sex for some gays has not been easy, especially when society condemns our unions, so that young gays are led to believe that being “gay” means “sex” outside of the rest of one’s life, instead of a sexuality that actually affirms oneself and supports other aspects of one’s life, being a source of mental, emotional, even spiritual strengths. Consider the gifts, the support, the growth your wife has given you. How can you deny the same to gays and then criticize our perceived unhealthy sexuality? The greatest irony here is that the religious dogma-driven repression is THE REASON that so many gays struggle to have a healthy, self-affirming sexuality. That is why this article is complete junk. And how can you excuse pornography along the way if you have any moral authority? I am a gay man who does not like pornography. In short, you have no basis for any authority on what you are writing.

This is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen! First of all, your opinions have nothing to do with being gay. As the culture of mainstream America changes, both men and women (where are all the signs that your wife may be a lesbian?) will change with it. Many many many many straight men are now metrosexual. Meaning they tweeze, dress in skinny jeans, love pop culture, watch GLEE… and love vagina. Running your mouth like this and putting these crazy ideas into women’s heads that their husbands may be gay is going to RUIN marriages! If the husbands gay, the husbands gay. Theres nothing you or anyone else is going to do to change it! Seriously, mind your own business. These ‘signs’ you have are no more than speculation on a constantly evolving society that you don’t understand. I love smelly sweaty men! Lol you have NO idea what you’re talking about. Just because you’re old and things aren’t the way they used to be doesn’t give your points any more validity than saying the feminist movement was fueled by unbridled lesbian passion. All you’re doing with OPINIONS like this is putting FALSE ideas into women’s heads and causing trouble.
And I really want to know… when is “Fifteen signs your wife is a big butch dyke” going to get published? I’ll read it when I need a good laugh. Like “If your wife spends a lot of time at home depot, she must be a carpet muncher.” or “If your wife suddenly has an interest in having a shorter hairstyle, she must be on the down low.”

It’s a link to an actual suicide note written by a gay teen that chose to take his own life – because of the daily harassment he received from his peers at school. This is the kind of harassment that Stephenson’s writing promotes – and he shares the responsibility for all of the gay kids that have chosen suicide, because they don’t feel there is a place for them in this world.
read it Stephenson. Have a good laugh. You helped make it happen.

Without getting into any religious points at all, I’d like to just point out that a sudden increase in many of these items (at the _very least_ #1, 3, 4, 5, 11, or especially 14) can indicate depression or another serious mental and/or spiritual problem totally unrelated to homosexuality.
Whatever you may think of homosexuality, it’s very irresponsible to promote this checklist as diagnostics for it. Wives, please, for the sake of your husband’s life and wellbeing (as well as your own and that of your marriage), be extremely careful in applying these indicators and jumping to conclusions. In fact, I humbly suggest ignoring them completely and using your own insight, and intuition.
Even assuming that (as stated here) there are two million families struggling with homosexuality, keep in mind that there are 19 million cases of depression per year (in the US); nearly 10 times. Thus, it’s much more likely that these signs indicate the latter than the former.

I should tell you that someone who writes this “They silently broadcast the news by showing off their lean, hard bodies in designer clothing labels” sounds terribly gay to me. That’s why this obsession of yours with “younger male friends” looks particularly troublesome. And that thing about alcoholism, well, you sound like you are talking from experience.
In other words, I don’t know whether they’ve told you already, but you write like a deeply closeted gay man that hates himself deeply and has buried his desires so deeply that he’s turning to alcohol and developed an attention towards younger, possibly more innocent and defenceless men.
I got a solution for your alcohol and ephebophilia problems that works like a charm. It’s called *accepting who you are*. Try to enter a mature relationship with another man, preferably your age, and all these inclinations of yours towards alcohol and soiling innocence will disappear quickly.

The more likely victims are those children you work with (according to your bio).

People in mixed-orientation marriages are usually there because of social shaming and Christianity. Removing those stressors tends to let people come out earlier and not hide in the marriage closet. There is support for mixed-orientation marriages online. But eventually, the couple has to decide whether they can live as they are or if they need to adjust the marriage or split up.

Not only is this article poorly written, but it is also based on absolutely no fact what so ever. It’s pretty apparent that who ever wrote this is a homophobe and has never met a metro-sexual man. Most of the reasoning in this article didn’t even make any sense, for example the traveling to asia part made no sense at all. What are you a racists too??

Hey Steve, I found a site today that listed signs that your son might be a closet homosexual.
They included things like spouting bullshit about other men to try and get the focus pulled onto them, and severe homophobia.
After reading all this, I thought of you. Oh well, let me know when you finish upstairs with Gregory, he seems like a lovely boy, what did you say you guys were doing up there again? You’re being awful noisy about it whatever it is.

As for your comment on how homosexuality is ruining marriage, see this article:

Also, you bring up the constitution, free speech, and all that jazz. For what that really means, see this video from post WWII:

I’m sorry, but homosexuality is not a sin, it is not wrong. It’s different, that’s all. You are pulling scare tactics to continue your hate-filled views. I respect that you are a Christian, but you could practice the love of God instead of spreading hate-filled lies.

“We also have something in this country called “FREEDOM OF RELIGION” which you people seem to forget. It is values such as these which have made America great.”
Great relating to what exactly? Your ill treatment of detainees? Juvenile executions? Soaring drug and crime rate? Teenage pregnancy?
I’m sure the vast majority of trailer trash will applaud your efforts, but honestly – you need to get out more.
Sadly I am probably gay and a complete atheist due to the fact that I take great pride in my appearance. I am not a sweating, hirsute, wife-bashing lumbering oaf, which seems to fit your perception of the perfect male. Let me guess: you think women should never have been given the vote. They belong in the kitchen, naturally, because they’re the weaker gender. Weak because the more sibilant among them have for far too long put up with masoginistic ignorance and bullying dealt by so-called ‘religious’ men.

If you worry that your husband may be gay, pause for a moment and consider this alternative: he may simply be English. Does he have British ancestry? If not, his effete Anglo-Saxon mannerisms may be due to an overexposure to BBC costume dramas. Check his spelling of “honor” and “color”. Does he prefer tea to coffee? English muffins to the good old American variety? These are sure signs of latent Englishness.
While Englishness is an increasingly common problem, and there is no known cure, don’t despair: many English people can still live relatively happy and productive lives. And if he becomes too much of an embarrassment, there’s always divorce.

AS silly and stereotyping as these scenarios are isn’t this the logical conclusion to the “gay people have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex as much as straight people have” crowd. I would expect this type of scenario in a lot of anti gay christian right churches..except the guys are better at hiding it compared to your limp wristed tight bright clothed gay. I mean those guys and gals are going to marry someone who they think can cure them the way that god, church community, parents and significant others hope for. I suspect in this scenario the ted haggard wives etc have no one to blame but themselves for waking up next to a gay. I really don’t feel sorry for them if they have contributed to the culture of gay shame and self loathing. I mean really what do you expect.

Another reason I must be gay – I take a shower every day and do not want a “certain amount of grit on me” -
“Strange sexual demands” -
My girlfriend must be gay too because she is more of a freak than me – LOL
“Travels frequently to big cities or Asia” -
My friend Gene has to travel to China twice a year because of a manufacturing business -
So now I know he is gay also -
“Love of pop culture” -
So much for that Lady Ga Ga CD my girlfriend bought – I better not listen to it anymore -
I bet if you play it backwards there are secret gay messages in it -
“Extroverted about his bare chest in public” -
I will have to remember to put on a shirt when I show my bare chest when I go to the beach because I live by the ocean

Unfortunately what Billings and so many others fail (or refuse) to comprehend is that “freedom of speech” is not “freedom from the consequences of speech.” If a figure who has put him or herself in the public eye uses speech which is irrational, he or she must held accountable. Critics have the responsibility to exercise THEIR freedom of speech in order to educate the public when false and irrational information is being spread.

My biggest question is how does some “straight” idiot know anything about what it is or looks like to be gay? Are these observations from his own personal experiences? Things that he is done since he is clearly gay and beating himself up over it because “god” says it’s bad. And no…I will not captalize the word god since “god” doesn’t actually exist.

Leyendo el “artículo” pude darme cuenta que esta sociedad no esta preparada culturalmente para los que presentan preferencias sexuales distintas a las que se consideran “normales” según los principios sociales y la ley divina. Este parece mas que un “articulo serio”, una burla de alguien que definitivamente no valora la condición humana de las personas. Ciertamente los homosexuales son personas diferentes por sus gustos sexuales. Pero ante los ojos del creador son tan iguales al resto del mundo. Por favor no utilicen a Dios para sustentar ideas propias ni para expresar desprecio por la calidad humana de las personas.

Mr. Billings,
Thank you for your informative article. I think it’s great to read the work of someone in touch with the issues we Christians face in todays modern world. I can’t speak highly enough of the informative articles you write and/or have written in the past.
However, there is one major issue that I face, which this article failed to address. My question is, thus: I have never thought my husband might be gay at all, but recently he started participating in sexual activities with other men. Is this activity normal? He claims it’s just a hobby, like baseball card collecting, or model plane building, but I’m not so sure…
Thank you, once again, so very much. I do hope you have the answers. Until then, I’ll remain praying about these issues, while my husband attends homosexual orgies.
Sincerely,
Amanda Huggenkis

Mr. Billings,
I’ve long been a fan of your work. I think it’s VERY important to have a strong voice to convey true Christian views, despite strong opposition from the liberal left, and the satanic propaganda they choose to force down the throats of those less educated. Thank you for your work and don’t ever change.
I do have a question your article wasn’t able to address, and I was hoping I might get an answer. My husband has never shown homosexual tendencies but recently he’s been partaking in sexual activities with other men. He claims it’s simply a hobby, much like building model planes, sports card collecting, or painting, but I’m not so sure…
I patiently await your answer. Thank you for your time. I will continue to pray on this issue, while my husband attends homosexual orgies.

I simply adore your attempt to attack the SM lifestyle as well as homosexuality.
I could write out a long comment about how wrong this all is, but it’s been done several times. Your mindless stereotyping of gay men is laughable, as are your sources. Not only have you attacked homosexuality here, but also pornography, SM, sexual enjoyment, physical self-improvement and improvement of appearance. Since my fiancé likes all of the above, should I be concerned? Of course I shouldn’t, he’s hetero and that won’t change.
An actual sign of a homosexual husband would be problems getting an erection during sex. Of course the actual prevention is this: Leave homosexuals alone and don’t pressure them into repressing their sexuality, forcing themselves into marriages with the opposite sex and being oh-so-surprised when they’re caught in bed with someone of the same gender.

You, Mr. Stephenson Billings, have freedom of speech indeed, but that does NOT deny our freedom to be angry at you for writing what, in my humble opinion, is one of the worst articles that was ever written in the history of journalism.
Not only you display enormous amounts of wrongfully directed stereotypes, but also alarming levels of hate and a lack of research i haven’t seen in a long time, and only in young students.
I can see that this is a christian page, and i must ask this: isn’t a part of the christian faith to love everyone, even if you don’t share the same beliefs as they do? You are ignoring many things, even setting aside your article, which tells me a lot about your professionalism.
Please, excuse my poor english, it’s not my native language. I’m from Venezuela, and i’ve seen a lot of hate towards the journalists, as i’m one myself in a country where freedom of speech is a privilege that not many have. But even though i don’t share any of your conceptions, i completly disagree with your text because it’s a joke for our profession.

Stephenson, I am a homosexual Christian and I feel here is a good place to state that the way you have written this article is both thoughtless and offensive to both homosexuals and Christians alike. I will refer you to a book by pastor Jack Rogers called Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality which outlines first off how the Bible has been used to perpetuate hatred throughout the years. It is the thinking that you have displayed here which is responsible for the crusades, the American revolution, the Holocaust, degradation of women, ideas of racial superiority to people who are not white, and the terrorist attacks which now plague America. I will remind you that that God never speaks on homosexuality and neither does Christ. If God were so concerned about the homosexual life style it would have been the 11th commandment and Jesus would have elaborated on it in the New Testament and yet neither deity felt compelled to bring up such a concern. What is said is, “I love those who love me and those who seek me diligently shall find me” and, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that he who believes in him shall not parish but have everlasting life” and, “May he who is without sin throw the first stone”. When you write articles like this you are in direct violation of God’s decree, you are telling people who are loved by God that he does not love them and that they are unworthy of the kingdom. I am not worthy of the kingdom and neither are you. You are not Christ and are therefore as full of sin as anybody else and should therefore shut it. If you want to serve God, tell gays that they are loved, show them the passages which (and have them read the whole chapter because that is the only real way to understand the Bible) you feel talks on the subject and let them find their own way. What you have written here is an abomination, and you should be ashamed.

I recognize that you might have ment well in trying to warn women about the deception of infidelity in their marriages to gay men, but the clues you outline to tell if your husband might be gay are completely without scientific basis. I am a psychologist and I know that a man’s interest in pop culture,clothing, gym membership or lack of interest in sports are not indicators of his sexuality. These are simply sterotypes that have plauged the gay community and have long been the source of hatered and discrimination. I don’t support gay men marrying stright women who are unaware of their sexuality, but not because of any dislike of homosexuals but simply because I believe that honesty in a relationship is vital. Ironically the kind of discriminatory speech you display here is source of the fear that motivates many gay people to try to marry heterosexual people, as a method of escaping discrimination by deniging who they are. As a christian, I would implore you to find love in your heart for everyone and consider the damage your words can potentially do.

I am going to ask the following questions based on the assumption that the site is not satire:
1) What is the point of the article? Suppose the reader is a wife whose husband is gay—what now? Pray it away? Get divorced? Seek counseling? I know Christians who believe that divorce is sinful and counseling is Satanic, so it’s pretty important that you provide an if/then list of acceptable, Christian behaviors in response to the a possible yes answer to the question you’re posing. You don’t seem to offer much hope for the prognosis of the marriages you describe, but if counseling and divorce are evil, the only alternative would be to pray the husband into a straight man, right?
2) Why does the site accept advertising like:
Gay PersonalsChemistry.com/Official-Website
A New Service from Match.com. Find Gay Singles In Your Area!
Ads by Google [click to find] Gay Christians
Homosexuality Chat Gay Gay Club
These are all ads that are on the page alongside your article. If you’re both enticing men who might be attempting to resist their homosexual urges with easy, immediate access to willing gay partners; and accepting money from sites that are trying to drive Internet traffic to their gay sites, I would have to draw the conclusion, based on the logic found on this site, that you and the site are enthusiastically evil. Since the logic of your argument is that ready access to homosexual behavior will turn a straight man into a gay man, you apparently are trying to turn men gay.
3) Seriously, what are your journalistic credentials? It’s really easy. Here’s what you do: list your education, awards for journalistic accomplishments, years of experience doing what and where, as well as journalistic publications that have hired you and/or published your writing. If you have none of these, then you are a blogger, not a journalist, so either provide your credentials, or stop calling yourself a journalist. So how easy that was?
4) Why do some Christians believe in life after death, Heaven, the Holy Spirit, praying to a God who can hear them, praying to dead Saints who can hear them, praying to Jesus who can hear them, and rising from the dead to ascend into Heaven, but think that ghosts are evil? Why would your dead loved one whose spirit is alive in Heaven loving you, wishing you well, and wanting to help you be a sign of Satan?
Thanks, I look forward to your answers! Please label them 1), 2), 3) and 4) so I can follow them properly, if you don’t mind.

So a friend of mine posted this list on Facebook last week and totally confused me. I wasn’t sure if it was a satire or if it was for real. Then today by coincidence Huffington Post wrote a similar article questioning if this is real or a satire. I then went to Christwire.com and read it for myself, and it sadden me to realize these people are totally serious. I find that pathetic and sad and it was obviously not based on any research and mainly just paranoia. The only way I can deal with a mentality like this is to laugh or completely make fun of it. So in the satirical spirit I decided to create my own list, if you think your husband may be gay … This is an attempt to point out that these lists are both completely ridiculous. On a small side note my list is loosely based on my husband’s true behavior, should I be worried?? Naww, I think not!
Your Husband May be Gay if …..
1) If your husband can consume a whole banana in one bite
2) Knows what a Mani Pedi is
3) If you can’t find your dildo or buys you a strap on for your birthday
4) Shaves the man cave (butthole) and waxes nipples
5) Pees sitting down or sits with his legs crossed
6) On Halloween always goes as one of the characters in the village people (Cowboy, Indian, Policeman, Construction Worker….)
7) If he is fond of skipping
9) Dances better than you
10) Gets mad if you wax your upper lip
11) Calls all of his friends Cowboy
12) Can perform the Macarena while sitting down
13) Has a female profession like nurse, teacher or stay at home dad
14) Likes to Rollerblade
15) Writes ridiculous homophobic lists….uhh hmmm
If your husband exhibits any of the above behaviors go to Christwire.com they are defiantly the experts and authority in morality….

I restate my request from Monday 8/23 to take you up on your offer of providing references. Is there a problem?
—posted 8/23/2010———
I will take you up on the offer of references.
Let’s start with #1 on the list – Secretive late night use of cellphones and computers
While I believe late night use of cell phones & computers may be an indication or an unfaithful spouse (male or female), I am curious so see the study what would indicate this is tied to sexual orientation. In this same item, you allege porn addiction to be “closely associated” with homosexuality. Let’s see that study while you are at it.
Waiting eagerly to have a sensitive discussion of the data.

I am one of those wives for whom the whole world fell apart when after being married and raising a large family, my Protestant minister husband came out to me as being gay. He had been having sex with men throughout our 32 year marriage–often disguised as going to a denominational conference, or committee meeting, usually staying overnight. I had no reason not to believe he wasn’t where he said he was going.
We had married out of College, ages 21 and 22–not knowing anything about homosexuality–not understanding anything about it! We were virgins. He confessed to me so many years later that he had always had “those” feelings toward boys, but knew he could never be a minister without a wife and family. He said he kinda felt bad that he had used me for all that time, but that I benefited from the marriage too–we had a place to live, and children. He thought it was alright to have sex with men because it wasn’t really cheating on me. I disagree!
Finding the truth about a gay husband is devestating! It turns your whole reality into a lie! What is real and what was just fantasy? These men who live a double life do not have the stereotypical gay mannerisms–most are masters of deception and acting. When he came out of the closet, however, I stepped in. He cannot revel his secret or he would lose his ordination in the process. I had to lie and deceive and play the cover for his secret. It is very unfair and very very debilitating.
My life would have been lost to the whole thing, as I was planning suicide to escape, when I found the Straight Spouse Network. It is an organization that assists the Straight Spouse (man or woman–women come out almost as often as men)in finding support and others who understand the pain and sadness that accompanies a spouse coming out. SSN is the one thing that helped me hold my life together when it was falling apart and I was falling into the abyss of the “closet”.
Every day on the average SSN gets 5+ requests for help from men and women who think or know that their spouse is gay. Over 3000 requests for assistance and information each year from Straight Spouses means that there IS a coming out crisis, and that in the next year many thousands more will be living the nightmare. That 2 Million number the article refers to is probably a realistic estimate.
If anyone reading this article finds themselves in the same situation as I did, please, Go find the book, The Other Side of the Closet, by Amity Buxton,PHD. and please check out the website, http://www.straightspouse.org
You will find others that “get it”. We are all living it too!

As a biased, homosexual male, I wish this article was correct in many ways and that all gay men had:
– Non-religious beliefs (tip #3);
– Good hygiene (tip #4);
– Tidy households (tip #4);
– A disdain for sports (tip #5);
– Good fashion sense (tip #6);
– “Lean, hard bodies” (tip #6);
– Sexually adventurous tendencies (tip #7);
– Travelled well (tip #9); and
– Witty senses of humor (tip #11)
Unfortunately gay men, like all humans, are more nuanced than this and cannot be so easily categorized.

Hi I was reccently ‘informed’ (sent it as a joke to laugh at) of this article by some friends…needless to say i was NOT impressed. I have been born, raised and live a life as a christian and may i inform you, this is NOT an article of true christian or be it catholic faith. you draw the attention of your commenters to various pieces of scripture. so may i please draw your attention to some that i think may ring of relevence here. ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself’ ‘Do not be the one to throw the first stone, rather if some hits you, turn the other cheek so he may hit it as well’ ‘love your god with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul’ these first two were both of god himself and his holy son jesus christ who came down from heaven to save us from our sins. thus by ignoring the first two and blatantly adversiting hate and discrimination and bigotry are you not also therefore ignoring the first and most important of all the commandments, the thrid quote?
Jesus was sent to break the hearts of stone and die for those who could not save themselves, who are you to call yourself a man of god and a christian if you treat others like this? for Jesus said both Jews and Gentiles were equal in the hearts of god, and he was sent to save ALL not just those that ‘deserved it’ he healed leppers, hung out with prostitutes and tax payers, the outcasts of those days. and because of this he was crucified, died and was buried all for your sins as well as theres, do NOT insult his memory or what he did for you in twisting his message of love and acceptance in such a way.
God is an honest and loving god but also one of anger and wrath where needed. do not worry about that which is not your business but do not advertise that which can lead to others harm or discrimination for it is not what God or jesus wanted. You were sent the messenger, the holy spirit to go out and preach his message of love, forgiveness and understanding. Do not turn back the hand that continues to feed you in such a way. you have been blessed but do not test boundaries you know in your heart you should not. listen not to your head full of the ways of the world. instead follow your heart where god resides in the holy spirit, to guide and council you of the truth….
that is all i have left to say. I hope one day you can understand what others can not. but do not be blinded by their false truths. there is much you can do with your gifts and blessings if you follow your heart and the christ.

I love how freedom of speech is used by christians as a defense against anyone speaking out their disagreement with their beliefs. It’s like they think they’re the only ones entitled to freedom of speech, and as soon as someone interjects their own opinions or views, it’s suddenly an attack on their freedom of speech. Give me a break, Ladies, if you’re husband’s gay, for one, it’s not his fault, and he’s in as much of a pickle being married to you as you are being married to him. And secondly, don’t presume he is simply off the ridiculous notions posted above. (Yup, I’m harpin AAAALL over this free speech) – Best way to find this out? Be supportive. Enforce the reality that you love him, and that he can trust you with his fears and doubts. Be there for him, don’t go snooping around his personal space and drawing ridiculous, side-ways conclusions based on impartial facts and evidence. And most of all, give him the space to work something this drastic and life-altering out on his own. He’s going to have to sooner or later.

Mr Billings,
Thanks so much for this informative article, I have a few other topics you might want to explore and some questions for your readers.
Men, is your wife a lesbian? Does any of the below sound familiar?
Your wife played team sports in high school, especially basketball, Softball, field hockey, hockey etc? Does she like comfortable shoes? Does she make more money than you? Is she working in high powered typically male job, say lawyer, doctor, judge, has she been nominated to the supreme court? Does she enjoy professional sports like football, baseball? Does she own flannel? Does she have a preference for larger dogs or bully breed dogs, pit bulls, dobermans, German Shepard? Does she drive a pick up? Does she hate shopping for clothes, going to a mall? Does she like folk music or folk art? Does she understand how the car’s engine works? Does she prefer short hair cuts? Does she have tendency to wear men’s clothes. Does she vacation with her best friend while you busy working? Does she belong to woman’s groups,especially those that think woman and men are equal?
On another slant, topics that could apply to either spouse, is your husband/wife an octoroon?
Does they eat collard greens, kale, gtiz? Can they dance well? Do they like R&B, Soul or Rap? Do they like to vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, particularly Oak Bluffs and gravitate towards the ink well as their favorite beach? Do they like fried chicken or watermelon? If it’s your husband you are concerned about are they good at basketball, football? Do they have nappy hair? Is there a history of teen pregnancy, drug abuse and poverty in the family? Do they like Cadillac SUVs with big, big shiny rims? Do they wear over sized clothes and big gold chains?
Or perhaps your need to determine if your spouse is partly Asian?
Do they do well in Math and science? Do they drive poorly? Do they play a classical instrument? Are they quiet and reserved? Do they respect their elders?
Can they eat vast quantities of food and remain thin? Are their parents and grand parents hard workers? Do they have a large extended family living together or near each other? Or on the other hand are members of their family violent, drive expensive cars, hang out at nightclubs and seem to have endless amounts of money? Do they only buy designer brands? If it’s woman are they exotic in bed, if it’s man is their penis small?
So many facets of life one can observe and so many questions to ask? Is your spouse a secretly a die hard republican? Are they wealthy, did they inherit a trust fund, are all their family and friends white? Do they believe health care is only for those who can pay for it? Do they cross the street when they see a black person approaching? Do they follow non-white people in a store to make sure they don’t steel? Do they read Ayn Rand? Or are they secretly a bleeding heart liberal? Do they believe unions, that lazy people should be given your hard earned money? Do they think with their heart not with their wallet. Did they get a college degree, do they enjoy the arts, do they think they are better than everyone? Do they believe everyone is equal and deserves and education and public health care? Do they believe woman have choice over their bodies? An of course to do they watch PBS and listen to NPR??? A certain clue!
Please let me know what your topics will be next any if any of these will help your readers as well?

My favorite part of this whole article I think is all the talk about how male homosexuals have lean, muscular bodies. I think, including mentions of buttocks, there are about five mentions of the male form, and best of all, specific references to their muscular chests and arms. The article as a whole carries a deep-seated reverence for the male form (ie, the homoerotic), not even mentioning any part of the female anatomy (despite a few references to heterosexual sex). When coupled with the numerous references to how easily frustrated gay men become when their advances are spurned, I don’t think there’s any English student in the world who wouldn’t believe that this is the written work of a deeply closeted man, struggling with the confines of his rigid, restraining belief system.
If I saw this in a creative writing class, I’d give it an A. If this is serious… well, hey there’s always San Francisco or Thailand right?

2 cases, 1) Some people refuses to see the reality they prefer denying it. For example the colour is white, everyone sees white and they will swear it is black not white but from the buttom of their heart it is white but unfortunately they can’t allow themself to say it.
2) A lot of people are so naive, they never travel by themselves in another country, never put themselves in any situation that they are not use too, their mind are very limited, then as soon they hear something out of ordinary they hell SCANDAL, they think they possess the truth but usually those kind are working 9 to 5 never read, watching reality TV show or not working at all, sitting behind the screen to raise s… instead of reading and analysing the story that you wrote and try to see the truth out of it by listen to their friends and families problems, to their own lives and try to see if the article has something to do with them but unfortunately they are blocked like a block of ciment and another word they are constipated….it is too bad and too hard to make the mass understand certain things cause the level of their thinking is not evoluated enough to converse with them without hate and swear and scream out of rages…

It sounds like the person who wrote this article is struggling with his own sexuality.

it seems to me that as of late, the two most common signs your husband might be gay are 1) evangelical preacher 2) republican senator.
and as for your list:
1) maybe he finally realized he married an insecure stalker.
2) do you get visibly upset when he makes a compliment about your public appearance because you are an insecure stalker? or perhaps you just can’t read male body language, especially the look he gives other men that says “please take up golf or fishing with me to get me away from this fat a$$ i married”.
3) perhaps if you stopped sucking his soul dry, there would be some left for god.
4) maybe you should get off your fat a$$ and do laundry instead of watching soap operas. oh, and have you heard of “bears”? they are gay men who are as fat and hairy as you are, except they are males.
5) maybe he wants to outlive your fat a$$.
6) maybe he needs to get his fat a$$ to 5)
7) maybe you should stop considering oral sex a strange demand for putting up with your fat a$$
9) unless he is a consultant for silver dollar city, WTF?
10) yes, that is why you should only let females lead young male youth groups… sissies them right up!
11) are you telling me that females should be sassy, sarcastic, and ironic and not expect to be slapped?
12) ok, i’ll give you “glee”, it’s totally fagged out. but is there a better model of masculinity than bea arthur?
13) jealous.
14) he just realized he is married to a sassy, sarcastic, ironic, fat a$$ — he is married to maggie gallagher
15) any man who would put up with this list of b.s. is a hen-pecked mamma’s boy regardless of his sexuality. you deserve a self-loathing closet case for a husband for thinking that men should like women built like “cathy” and not jenna jameson. also, learn to swallow.

late night use of cellphones and computers-Check
And a few others-Check Check Check
What amazes me is that the ladies love my soft hand,my grooming habits and my cleanliness…So the thing that woman love makes me gay Right?
I also go to the gym but don’t like sports yet I love doing anything that get my adrenalin going? However I never go into the bathrooms at gym,do I still qualify?
What amazes me about this pathetic and unprofessional article is that you Stephenson Billings think you are so right! This article is a joke and I feel sorry for your wife,if you even have one. The fact that you don’t look after yourself or have no sexual interests in different things is sad.

The more I read of this guy’s comments the harder it gets to tell if he’s satirical or not. I cal Poe’s Law on him. If he’s satire he needs to throw us some kind of a wink nudge. If not, then he’s just another whiny delusion fake Christian preaching values that don’t exist inANY Bible to justify bitter ignorance and rampant misinformed hatred, and, just like all of his ilk, a complete misunderstanding of exactly what “Freedom of Speech” actually entails.
You have the right to say ignorant, hurtful, hateful dishonest lies in the name of God. And everyone else has the right to tell you you’re a hateful douchebag in the name of SANITY.

“Your “homosexual” activists have done nothing but spread hate and fear and are encouraging nothing less than a genocide upon real marriage in this country.”
Are you KIDDING me? If this article wasn’t enough, that comment takes the cake, Billings. Heard of a little group called Westboro Baptist? “Christians” like you have done FAR MORE to spread hate and fear in this country than any other group. If marriage in a CHRISTIAN CHURCH is only between a man and a woman, fantastic, but you have NO RIGHT to deny the privilege of the state of marriage to people outside the church. How can you be so arrogant to think every married couple in the country right NOW was married in a church? You ARE aware atheists get married too, all without the help of a priest or pastor? Marriage IS NOT a solely Christian institution. Get it through your head. Also, your article is so poorly researched and generalized this website should be ashamed to host it. You know why people are tired when they get back from the gym? Because they just WORKED OUT, moron! Maybe if you ran a few laps now and then you’d know that. And just because your personal hygiene leaves you ‘sweaty and smelly’ and wearing old sweatshirts with pit stains doesn’t mean everyone who decides to take care of their appearance is gay.

Good Sir,
You seem to pin all these activities as homosexual behaviors. What about just good old fashioned heterosexual relationships where the guy is cheating with a chick or the other way around. You speak of Free Speech, but not only are you pulling a double standard by wanting your opinion to be heard and respected but not respecting others you are seriously presenting behaviors as warning signs of homosexuality under the guise of heterosexuality using the warning signs of potential cheaters you would find in a gossip magazine. Seriously. I am a believer of Jesus Christ as the only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Ghost born of the Virgin Mary suffered under Pilot was crucified, dead, and buried, he descended into hell, the third day he rose from the dead he ascended into heaven and sits on the right hand of God the Father all mighty, However I don’t go around acting like everyone who doesn’t is a “Loon” or assume they are trying shout down my free speech. I figure they have circumstances in their life to believe the way they do. and that is fine. End of story. If God meant for us all to believe the same way, act the same way, think the same way, and live the same way, we would never have been given free will in the first place.

Where, O where to begin….. everyone’s said their piece SO well here, but I just HAD to ring in on something so patently ridiculous (OMG, there’s a “dick” in that word!) -
1. Didn’t Jesus Christ say, “Love one another’” ?? Not, “Love everybody but those damn homos!”
2. I also think the Bible says something about “judge not, lest ye be judged,” n’est pas?
3. According to most accounts, Jesus loved and forgave eveybody – whores, lepers, thieves, the stupid, gentiles, Republicans, short-sighted bigoted assholes… logic dictates that he probably also ran across a few gay people in his 33 years on Earth and forgave them, too.
4. To paraphrase Shakespeare, “The man doth protest too much, methinks.” Mr. Stephenson is obsessed with homosexuality and sex in general. Which probably means he’s gay and not gettin’ any!
5. Organized religion – REGARDLESS OF SECT – is ALWAYS about man’s attempt to control other men (and women). I have been a Christian since I was 20 (I’m now 53), and I believe true spirituality comes only when you cure yourself of bigotry, forge ahead on your personal spiritual journey and NOT attempt to beat into submission those who don’t believe as you do.
TOLERANCE, PEOPLE!
OK, I’m done now. Go and be gay no more!

Praise the Father, the Lord of All Creation Who guided my hand me to your site! Not only do Christian wives need the guidance to identify gay husbands, but the good husbands must also know the certain signs of gayness, lesbianeess in wives.
Obvious listnessless and lack of dutiful compliance to the husband’s needs in the master bedroom is often a certain indicator that already the gay cancer has advanced far. So earlier signs should be identified, taught and promulgated so that councelling and prayer can be administered before that already late stage!

This article awakened my spirit in Christ reminding me how important it is to stop homosexuality everywhere. Homosexuals that dare to call themselves people are perverting God and should be dumped into the lowest level of hell as they scream for mercy they will not get!
I admire the Republican party putting the huge energy into this campaign to stop gays from teaching homosexuality in schools and in churches forcing our innocent children to learn perversion instead of learning Christ. Once, we as Christians stop homosexuality, we will then purge Darwin and science until we, not America, dictates policy. God help those who are not with us.

I liked this article, even though it is unintentionally hilarious.
It is an empirically based analysis pretending to be a theoretically formulated one.
It certainly assumes w/o saying that it only is supposed work in Western societies, as that is its implied context.
Really, although we aren’t supposed to pigeonhole behavior and make judgments about people by their cover, if a woman’s husband scored “yes” on all these queries, wouldn’t that be a REALLY good indication that he is gay, like 98% chance?
FYI, I myself scored a “no” on 4, 6, and 8 as the only ones that were not considered gay, out of 15.

Stephenson, as a Christian I certainly agree with you that homosexuality is a sin. But I must disagree with your assertion in your article “Is My Husband GAY?” that a married man who works out at a health club but has no interest in sports should be suspected of being gay. I’m a happily married man who happens to be working with a personal trainer at a local health club on a bodybuilding program; and, yes, I have no interest in sports. I’ve never had an interest in sports. When I come home from a workout, I’m utterly exhausted (as would be expected); so, I may not talk much to anyone. Sometimes I even lie down to rest. I don’t think you realize that you’re engaging in a rather negative stereotype of nonathletic boys, most of whom DO NOT have homosexual tendencies. Do you realize how difficult it is for nonathletic boys to grow up in this sports-saturated culture? Nonathletic boys are frequently bullied simply for not having an interest in sports. Their masculinity is questioned incessantly. The negative stigmatization often begins before these boys have even reached their teenage years. There have been many great men who never had an interest in sports or actively disliked them — such as the Swedish humanitarian Raoul Wallenberg, who saved the lives of thousands of Hungarian Jews from the German Nazis and their Hungarian fascist accomplices (the Arrow Cross movement). The truth is that homosexual men have always participated in sports. Two of the most recent examples are Brian Sims (who was an outstanding college football player) and the former NFL player Esera Tuaolo (who once played in the Super Bowl). There is no correlation between liking or not liking sports and sexual preference. Negatively stereotyping all nonathletic boys as being “sissies” or wimps or having homosexual tendencies is wrongheaded and vicious. Again, I’m NOT defending homosexuality.

This list was made up by gathering a bunch of easy stereotypes, old-fashioned ideas about sexuality and Christian-blinded way of thinking. You should open your mind and your eyes to the actual world and stop repeating this boring stuff. Why do you think you have any kind of authority by quoting the Bible? It’s fiction. Do you think it have any power to quote Harry Potter books in a conversation about sexuality? Then why do you quote a nearly 2000-year old book? It’s obsolete! Go get new researches on sexuality made by actual researchers: scientists, psychologists, philosophers and sociologists; not by priests who just want to stick to their status quo by repeating millenarian lies.

Hello people from earth.
I´ve just landed in a country of southern Europe named Spain, and happened to read your post. In this sunny country, same-sexed people were allowed to be legally married from the 3rd of July 2005. Still standing. And I´ve heard there are a few more, even in south America!
Thus, I would love to call on your wisdom to create another list to spot up a heterosexual behaviour within gay marriage. That would help those poor humans to get divorced, as this is not so common as between heterosexual partners.
On the planet I come from, we use something called “love”, and it can be shared to any being. Once we sent one of my relatives to spread it all over your earth, but I think you mislead the idea somehow. Should you be needing some of this thing so called love, do not hesitate contacting me on my earthly e-mail: brightonseafront@gmail.com or just visit Spain.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

I am the wife of a man who came out as gay after 31 years of marriage. Actually, I discovered it and confronted him. None the less, as one who knows, I gotta say the signs listed here are pretty spot on. I should have paid more attention throughout the years. There are couple more I might add.
1.) Dressing out of site. Meaning, not wanting to be seen naked by the spouse.
2.) Odd, disguised charges on on bills. Often the Gay webstites create ficticious names so the charge will not be obvious.
3.) Not trying to be funny on this one. Unusual desire to record and watch daytime talk shows hosted by an openly gay woman.
Think I’m alone? Guess again. There are thousands just like me. Probably someone you know. It is actually that widespread of an issue.

This is awful men that are gay usually go into marriages because people like yourself tell them that they are disgusting and perverted for being homosexual. Therefore they try to hide who they are so they can blend and be accepted more into society. Honestly can you blame them? How would you react if so much hatred being pushed against you that was criticizing a part of who you are? So as a result gays are forced going into a marriage to someone who they don’t really feel attracted to or love so they can please others while constantly decieving both their wives and thereselves. Now to me that does sound like a sin rather then being able to be homosexual which isn’t a sin.

The ironic thing here is that you can apply those characteristics to Christ.
3) He tutored an all-male group of younger men.
4) He looks very clean in all those crucifixes, without that sweat and grit, so he was probably very careful of his physical appearance.
9) He travelled frenquently to big cities and spent all his life in Asia.
10) He had too many younger male friends.
12) That long hair can only mean he was a lover of the pop culture of the time.
So you see? You can apply those stupid “methods of detection” to anyone. What about the Pope, for example?
Even if being married to a gay man (or a gay woman, remember there are lesbians as well) is a problem to the unsuspected wife (or husband), I don’t think this article is anything good, or even worth reading except if you’re bored and want to have a laugh.
And being gay is not a crime, as you ask for freedom of speech and freedom of religion, be willing to give freedom of sexuality.

Whether Christian or not, what bothers me about this article is that it’s presented as facts and advice. There are many components of this that are either opinion-based or assumption-based. i can tell you right now, a good number of gay men in heterosexual marriages or relationships aren’t necessarily using it as a cover. Not all people find what makes them happy until later in life, and such is true in this particular situation.
While a lot of what is written here may be indicators of infidelity, it does NOT necessarily mean the man is gay. The best “advice” for anyone who finds themselves in this situation is to stop reading articles such as this one and simply confront your spouse in a non-threatening manner, and be willing to support them.
& i also must add that your portrayal of gay men being “sick fetishists” or “attracted to young boys” is not only inaccurate, but offensive.

Point 1: “Is there ever really a good excuse for a husband to visit Thailand or San Francisco without his wife?”
BUSINESS TRIP. A lot of businesses do not fund business trips with the mindset of having other people along. Sometimes, there is not enough money for a man to pay for his wife to come along on a business trip out of his own pocket.
WORK. If you live near a large city, chances are your husband will WORK in said large city. As a general rule, husbands don’t bring their wives to work every single day, a good majority of women have jobs of their own, or must stay behind to look after their children.
GIFTS. Looking to buy your wife something nice? A lot of men go to the city. A lot of people go into the city to buy engagement rings, flowers, etc because there is a large abundance of many different types of stores there. Most of the time, if you’re planning to propose or buy a Christmas/Hannukah/Birthday gift for someone, you don’t bring them along.
It’s called a surprise, Stevie.
2: “If your man returns from the gym too exhausted to talk or have sex, that is a worrisome sign.”
Okay. What about he just worked out really hard to look good for you?
Being tired doesn’t automatically mean that he’s having sex in a shower room with another man.
3: “Does he go shirtless in the back yard or at picnics when other men are around? ”
what if they just don’t want to get heatstroke, idiot?
And if there are men at a beach, does wearing only swim trunks mean he’s gay too?
Just because someone goes around shirtless does not mean he’s gay.
It’s like saying a woman who wears a low-cut shirt at a party where there are both women and men is looking for people with lesbian tendencies to show her attention.
Seriously? Get medicated.
You need a doctor who can prescribe medication to you until the world is free of foolish, uneducated, moronic people like yourself.
Your insane ramblings constitute nothing of the Bible. They’re just your own, close-minded observations of the world. It’s like taking pictures with a fish-lens camera. You’re blocking out more than half of the story.
P.S.
If a fifteen year old girl has more knowledge than you, I’d suggest hitting the high school books again. Don’t just parrot off what your parents say, it ultimately makes you look like a complete fool and you don’t learn anything by it.

Well it’s official. Christianity is doomed and destined to age with no youth involvement.
According to your article, everything, and I mean everything you’ve written about describe popular youth culture today (texting, using the internet, working out, wearing nice clothes and caring about your appearance, being close with your friends, being emotionally expressive) automatically will put you on the list of (god forbid!) being gay!
Well, news flash: there is nothing wrong, or even remotely homosexual about the qualities you listed in your article. I don’t think you can apply any of them to a gender, let alone sexual orientation.

As a Christian and a Leftist, I think I must tell you Mr. Billings that the only civil discussions of morality are those discussions in which we each discuss our own morality and how it plays out in our lives of helping others and serving Christ. Morality is not something one person puts on another. If you have morality, then you should live by those moral values, not use them like a stick to beat others.

You’re a bad person. You take your hate and ignorance out onto other people to reaffirm your personal beliefs that developed from no more than a severe blow the head. You continue to misconstrue the true nature of the bible, that is “God is Love” (which, in turn would mean, love is god) to prove yourself right and give personal for your unsupported and unreasonable assumptions. That and you most evidently haven’t got a clue what intellect or logic is. Do you seriously think the world will become a better place with these guidelines? Also, you clearly are the kind of man who surrounds himself solely in Christians, which is not very brotherly of you; and should reveal to you just how weak your arguments are.
When god is love, and you consider the level of hate you have spread, I feel quite content in calling you an anti-Christ. Take some prozac, drop an e, smoke a joint. Either that, or see a psychologist and get your shit sorted out.

That is one of the most stereotypical things I have every read. The fact that you started many sentences with “Gay men do this…blah blah”, what the heck? Like you know every gay man in the world, right? In order to know that? Straight males can have these characteristic, too. I couldn’t even read the entire thing, it was so offensive. I feel disgusted.
The problem is that people don’t accept gays and lesbians for who they are- so some are forced to hide the fact that they are gay out of fear.
If we let them be who they are and didn’t push them into being anything else, we might not have this big of an issue!
For goodness sake, ASK. Just flat out ask- and be supportive. Otherwise, they will be too fearful to tell you the truth and lie to you.

Ok… serious discourse on the subject: First of all, I find it next to impossible to have a serious discussion with anyone Christian about this subject because most Christians absolutely refuse to believe that being gay is not a choice. For any gay person, they know without a shadow of a doubt that they did not, would not, and most certainly could not choose to be gay in a society that clearly is against them. For some, they themselves grew up very conservative, and fought it as hard as they possible could. But the the Straight Christian, this is seen as just being a sin. Imagine then if you could, waking up, and it being a sin for you just being who you are? You know that it is not a choice you being who you are, that you were born this way, but that to the rest of the world, you are seen as living in sin, and that there is something wrong with you. Most gay people, they just want to love, and be loved, and to share in the family values that most Christians profess to believe in. They want a family, and security, and most of all, not to be judged for just trying every day to be who God put them on this earth to be. So no, it is hard for me to stomach any Christian who says they want to have a discourse on the matter while writing about signs that make someone gay. Actually putting that if there is a fetish involved that it is a sign that they are gay. This is uneducated and plainly ignorant. For the record, most of the strange deviant behavior I have come across has been by heterosexual men and not gay men. Instead of judging, and thinking that you KNOW the answers, try putting yourself into someone elses shoes. Also, the reason so many women are waking up and realizing that their husband is gay, is because society forced these men to live a lie, and I understand this will be hard for some of you to hear, but society, a society that many conservatives are fighting to restore, has made it so that homosexuals are seen as deviant, criminal, and outcasts. IF this attitude changed, things like men hating themselves for being gay and trying to live straight would become a thing of the past. And trust me, no amount of praying, crying, yelling, therapy will make a gay man straight. We are who we are, and that is exactly how GOD wanted it. Religion, like science, should be flexible and willing to change its views. The world was not created in 7 days, the earth is a lot older than 6,000 years, and our place in the universe is far from the center. IF right winged christians had their way, we would all still be forced to believe this stuff.

My ex is a “bikie” with a beard and tattoos. He was the epitome of homophobia – JUST like the author of this science-fiction-fantasy-trash-article. He is the OPPOSITE of EVERYTHNG you have written in this article, except for the porn addiction, but porn addiction is NOT a homosexual problem.
For SIXTEEN YEARS I had to deal with his blatantly hypocritical, illogical and irrational homophobia. He used to tell me that if one of our children grew up to be gay he would disown them. I tried for years to get him to lighten up about gays, even telling him he was a hypocrite because he was obsessed with lesbian sex.
He continually accused me of being a lesbian. In between such accusations, he would ask, beg and attempt to emotionally blackmail me into having a threesome with another woman. When I got upset he would tell me I did not love him. While we were at a party once, he tried to get me to go to another party without him – a lesbian party that one of our friends was going to go to. I did not want to go, and he kept on harassing me and got really angry that I did not want to go. Eventually I was so upset I went to sit in the car because I did not want everybody to see me crying. On the way home he told me that I had done a good job of fooling him. I asked him what he meant and he said that he knew that I wanted to go, but that I didn’t want him to know that, which is why I had “pretended” to be upset?!?
Then, after 16 years of putting me through HELL, he finally blows me away by telling me that he is bisexual. I told him that I was surprised and obviously very hurt that he had lied to me for so long, but that I thought it probably explained a lot. I told him that I still loved him and that I wanted to support him, and that I would do my best to be supportive and try not to feel too insecure. He looked at me and raised his eyebrows, then said to me “Actually I’ve been bi since I was 6 years old, but YOU turned me gay”.
A few months later I found his profile on a gay dating site. His introduction said “48 year old seeks shaved sub 18 to 25″. This would have disturbed me enough just as it was, but what made things worse (in my mind) was that he has 4 adult sons from a previous marriage, the youngest being 19 and the oldest being 27.
My worst fears seemed to be turning into reality when he later mentioned to me that when his youngest was 15 and living with him, he found out the boy was bisexual. He said that after he found out, he started to fantasize about the boy and the boy’s mates whenever they had “sleepovers”. He also told me he feared that the relationship with his son would turn incestuous (though in stark contrast to his use of the word “fear”, he looked anything but fearful or anxious as he was telling me – I would describe the look on his face as that of a kid in a candy store)!
In the months after he “came out” about his sexuality, I asked him many times if he felt he needed to be able to “do his thing”. I said I would probably be able to deal with it if he was honest, and told him it was honesty that was important to me, because then I could make my own choices and if I could not handle it it would be my problem and not his. I even offered to consider doing it with him… one day. But he would not accept anything I said and would fly off the handle, saying I did not trust him.
It did not matter that I explained that insecurity and trust were two different things entirely, and that it was not that I didn’t trust him to be faithful but that I felt confused because his actions did not match his words. Why claim to love me and be attracted to me, but never express it with even the the smallest gesture of affection (IE: Not even the occasional little hug, or brief squeeze of my shoulder as he walked passed, or a peck on the cheek once in a blue moon), not to mention the fact that he showed NO sexual interest in me what so ever! It was all in my head he would say. “Stop harassing me and see what happens!” 3 months later and zip zero zilch…
In the end, AFTER we split up, I found out he was registered on 18 different dating sites, 11 of which he had joined since we had been back together. He was after anything and everything, and was even advertising for an Asian Bride, which made me wonder why he bothered spending $800 on an engagement ring for me.
Thing that I was most disgusted by though, was the fact he had said to me that if any of his kids ever told him they were gay, he would dis-own them. Another type of people I hate are hypocrites, and he was certainly the king of all hypocrites. In fact he was a walking contradiction. He is a homophobic, bisexual atheist with a God complex …
In my opinion, the more homophobic the man, the more he is wanting it! So I guess you can interpret what my opinion of the author is… It takes one to know one doesn’t it? You should keep CLOTHES in your closet Stephenson – Not your sexuality!!!

Please also note here that there are also many, many more “lesbians” who are married to men hiding their own sexuality from their partners.
As a Pastor I have actually counseled more “secret/closeted lesbians” then homosexual men going through this problem.
While I have counseled more women then men on this topic I feel that more men are simply too stigmatized to step forward and ask for help in the fear that they might be gay then the way women do.

This article made me dumber for having read it. The level of ignorance, leaps of logic and gross disregard for the consideration of applicable variables destroys any credibility of the author. Despite being absent from his in-depth analysis above, there is another way to tell whether or not a man is gay. Simply visit his Facebook page and look for these three tell-tale signs: 1. He lists Dolly Parton in his music section; 2. He lists Stephen Baldwin in his movies section; and 3. He posts on his wall that he’d like to get into Chuck Norris’s pants. (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001366922231#!/profile.php?id=100001366922231&sk=wall).
When science fially reveals that homosexuality is real and it is genetic, the people who spout this poison will look as foolish as those who thought the world to be flat. Jesus never spoke to homosexuality; why is it so important to “Christians?”

So, based on this article I’ve made a list of traits that ALL straight men have. And let me tell you, it adds up to one sexy beast of a man!
1) Only uses his cell phone and computer in broad daylight with his wife present and watching his activities.
2) He never acknowledges the presence of other men (and if he were REALLY straight, he wouldn’t even know what another man looks like).
3) Very involved in the church and prayer, but doesn’t volunteer (that’s gay right?).
4) He is sweaty, smelly, dirty and NEVER cleans his house.
5) Plays sports but doesn’t work out at a gym – he might see another man and become gay.
6) Wears baggy out-of-date clothes.
7) He’s a BORE in bed (missionary is the best you can hope for).
9) Has never been to, or had a need to travel to, a big city (or Asia?).
10) His only friends are older, bitter women – but can NOT watch the Golden Girls, apparently.
11) Low social skills.
12) Loves sci-fi (but no traveling out of town for conventions, again…he might catch the gay there).
13) Never takes his shirt off if another man might see him.
14) Doesn’t drink.
I don’t know about you…but I’m JEALOUS of all the straight women out there. Completely kidding. If there ever existed a man who had all of these traits I’m quite sure that he never got married and probably died as a virgin.
This article is without a doubt the most closed-minded stream of ignorance I have ever read. I completely understand having an issue with homosexuality, but there is a difference between acceptance and approval. You don’t have to approve of homosexuality to accept it. I don’t approve of bestiality (or soda bottle collecting for that matter) but I accept that there are people who enjoy those activities.
I think someone should give this guy a taste of his own medicine and write an article titled “Is my husband a SODA BOTTLE COLLECTOR?” and write down the most evil, stereotypical, hateful, bigoted things you can think of. Lie if you run out of things (we all know he did).
All of that aside I really have no issue with Christian people in general. I have a problem with the few idiots in a position to speak for the religion spout off things like this as if they came straight from the Bible. And to whomever it was earlier that compared Jesus to this list…THANK YOU! It proved how useless this drivel is.
Now, I have to finish tweezing my eyebrows, hit the gym and catch my plane to San Francisco (or was it Thailand?). BYE!

“The danger with homosexuality is that exposes the entire family to death-threatening disease and because of the shame of the gay intercourse, a man is twice as likely to hide it from those around him. Also, it puts male children at risk as well for obvious reasons.”
I’m pretty sure you just called homosexuals pedophiles…I did read that correctly right?
By the by, this “issue” YOU chose to start has nothing to do with “patriotism” or “protecting America”. Public opinions like this make Americans appear to be hateful and intolerant to any international people that may happen across this page. But you didn’t think about that did you? I guess its easier to just say what you want and the scurry back behind your Bible than to be a “natural man” and own up to it.
And the phrase “you people” makes you sound like you’re better than every single person who reads this site, or takes time from their day to comment on it (and in case you hadn’t noticed…nobody has been supporting you in this).

Homophobia is often a front to repress or hide feelings of same-sex attraction. I’m sorry Stephenson Billings, most people recognize that fact.
There’s nothing wrong with being gay. There is something wrong with large groups of people bashing and shaming these people until they feel like they need to act like someone they’re not.
Being straight is feeling, now acting. People do not choose to be gay, just like people can’t choose their hair color. You can always dye it, Mr. Billings, but it will always be there, under the dye, ready to grow back.

As a man who has been closeted and married, I’d like to say the first issue is self-respect and self-love. A GLBTQ child grows up a stranger, facing prejudice that is difficult or impossible to discuss at home and in fact may OCCUR at home. The possible loss of one’s friends and family is a very high price to pay and many people cave to social conditioning. This ought to give you some insight into how courageous and exceptional out GLBTQ people are. When GLBTQ people are loved, accepted and respected as individuals, then there will be no closeting, no pretense, and far less panicked quicky illicit shenanigans fueled by shame, desperation and self-loathing. Condemnation, religious or otherwise, is what fuels dysfunctional behavior. Love is truly healing.
Secondly, your close observations of the stereotypical behavior exhibited by gay men, is in fact the straight jacket you wear, the image of masculinity you have been forced to carry like a gruesome halloween mask. Your rage at women who fall for men who fail to uphold your gender checklist is screaming, “YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED – REAL MEN FART AND CAN’T MATCH CLOTHES AND SHOULDN’T HAVE TO HELP AROUND THE HOUSE – SO PREFER MEN LIKE ME OR MARRY A GAY MAN!” You’re angry because of the price you pay upholding a two-dimensional stereotype and think it’s unfair that others make different choices.
Sexual preference and gender conformity are actually two separate spectrums. For example, there are gay men who can out butch you. There are men who dress up in women’s clothes BECAUSE they love all things female so much, ESPECIALLY straight sex. See beyond your box.
Finally, your post proves exactly why gay marriage is so important and necessary. Marriage is part of the American Dream. It’s what all good boys and girls grow up wanting, it’s a status symbol, an achievement, the end of a thousand fairy tales. Denied the fulfillment of the natural desire to couple and move on to a maturer sense of self, one celebrated by friends and family, part of the tribe, some GLBTQ make do with promiscuity, addiction or closeted marriages. Make do, the way fast food makes do when you need nutritious, wholesome food. Granting equal rights to GLBTQ brings both safety and healing for everyone.

Here’s a theory — maybe husbands are on their celphones late at night, “working late” a lot, and sneaking off to the gym to buff up…to look good for and/or meet up with their GIRLFRIENDS! Statistically speaking, based on what I’ve read, that would be true about 90% of the time.

Mr. Billings,
I am very worried my husband might be gay. He stays up all night long looking at what I can only imagine to be HOMOSEXUAL porn. I mean, it can’t be heterosexual porn right? Also, one time he was singing along to Lady Gaga! AHHH! And he is sooo super tidy it’s ridiculous…I mean, maybe it’s because if he doesn’t clean up after himself, I will chop his balls off. But most likely it’s because he’s gay. ALSO, he drinks a lot. Like, whenever we go out to a party or to a club he gets wasted. This can NOT be normal. He must be gay. I just don’t know what to do Mr. Billings. I’ve prayed so hard that he will stop being gay but nothing is working. I was even talking with lesbian partner as she was eating me out the other day. We’re at a loss.. maybe if you pray for my husband, he will stop being so gay!

Stevie, I can’t thank you enough for this article.
You’ve brought it to my attention that many people are on to our tactics for hiding our homosexual romps from society and the ones we love. While I’m a little upset that you’ve exposed the very stereotypical fetishes and choice in television programing of the gay community, I now know to include in our next newsletter that we should probably go underground with those favorites for a while.
I was hoping that you might perhaps write an article on knowing if your wife is a lesbian, so that I might know what might tip off a man that I might decide to trick into marrying me. I’m sure he’d be devastated knowing he was sleeping with a lesbian, so I’d certainly want to hide it from him.
Thanks again, Stephenson!

If you are Christian you should be aware only God can judge. The Bible was written by man, therefore anyone who has written ‘A man cannot lay with another as he lies with woman’ was probably a homophobe. Until I hear God say himself, not through humans, that homosexuality is sin then I will believe that you can tell them it is a sin. I am agnostic, but raised in a Christian family. My cousin came out gay 2 years ago and my family, grandparents included, supported him and invited his boyfriend to Christmas dinner. That is what real Christians do. ‘Love thy neighbour’ and whatnot. Not spreading hate and condemning people for loving. And that is what it is. Love, not lust, and you should go see someone to help you if you think otherwise. You have a freedom of speech, I understand this, but I don’t agree with your point at all. I know plenty of homosexual men who are masculine and plenty of heterosexual men who are feminine. You’re one of the many also sexist people who think being woman belong in the kitchen and men belong in the working place, I suspect.

Some other useful signs that your husband might be gay.
Does he have an enormous moustache?
Does he often wear leather, denim shorts, lederhosen or a fruit hat?
Is he fond of fondues or soufflés?
Has he ever put on a finger buffet for his “friends”?
Does he have a Swiss luge instructor, Lars, who is always at your house?
Does he wear lycra and do lunges in the company of young Brazilian men?
Has he at any time said: “Woooo-Hoooo! I’ve just been to a Barbra Streisand concert!”
Has he bummed anyone?
If so, then a certain degree of gayness is strongly suspected.

Billings, I am honestly curious– are you psychotic, or just so depressed over your own boring, heteronormative lifestyle that you have to write these laughable posts?
1) Secretive late night use of cellphones and computers
Porn addiction is closely associated with heteronormativity and the hypersexualization of women. Your husband is probably only gay if he’s fucking another man and has porn on for background noise.
2) Looks at other men in a flirtatious way
When you’re out in public, does he spend too much time looking at other men? That would make sense, since we live in a patriarchy where men grow up in homosocial environments that foster and encourage male bonding.
3) Feigning attention in church and prayer groups
Have you noticed a lack of interest in spiritual issues? Maybe it’s because your husband thinks your religion is full of shit, and finds it hard to stay awake during services.
4) Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home
“Natural men have a certain amount of grit about them.” Billings, WHAT? What are “natural men?” If someone identifies as homosexual, that person is a man. Anyway… gender expression and sexuality are not directly linked. A man can enjoy baking and be straight, just as a man can be a football player and be gay. A woman can be a lawyer and be straight, just as a woman can be a ballerina and love sex with women. Get your shit straight, bud.
5) Gym membership but no interest in sports.
6) Clothes that are too tight and too “trendy”
Do you want a husband to dress like a scumbag? I hope you’d expect your husband, no matter what his sexuality is, to have some respect enough for himself to not dress like Jesus the day he was crucified. (I’ll apologize for being offensive when you, Billings, apologize for denouncing homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle.)
7) Strange sexual demands
Just because someone doesn’t want to have sex in the missionary position each time they fuck doesn’t make them gay.
Maybe he just wants to learn a few tips on how to make you feel good. Because women should enjoy sex too, you know.
9) Travels frequently to big cities or Asia
If your husband is gay, why would he fly all the way to Asia to have sex with men when there’s a healthy abundance of gay Americans? That’s right, Billings. There are A LOT of us. You should probably go hide.
10) Too many friendly young male friends
Is he a priest?
11) Sassy, sarcastic and ironic around his friends
Maybe you’re a person who actually married someone with a good personality! Stop worrying that your husband is gay, and congratulate yourself!
12) Love of pop culture
Who doesn’t love pop culture?
13) Extroverted about his bare chest in public
I say, if you’ve got it, flaunt it.
14) Sudden heavy drinking
I wonder if Lady Bush accused W Bush of being a homosexual since he’s an alcoholic. Anyway, if your husband drinks a lot, he probably hates your or his job. It’s beyond ignorant to assume homosexuality would be the cause of inner torment unless he is surrounded by a bunch of people like you, Billings. Queer individuals live healthy, happy lives.
15) Ladies, have you dated men in the past who turned out to be gay?
Then THAT man you dated was gay!!! Good for him for being proud of who he is and coming out despite people like Billings who believe in antiquated ideas that render them legitimately insane.
Maybe we should add a 16th question for the “ladies” :
Does your husband spend an excessive amount of time about homosexual issues or pretend to know exactly how to tell if someone is gay? Maybe that’s because he is gay!

Billings, I am honestly curious– are you psychotic, or just so depressed over your own boring, heteronormative lifestyle that you have to write these laughable posts?
1) Secretive late night use of cellphones and computers
Porn addiction is closely associated with heteronormativity and the hypersexualization of women. Your husband is probably only gay if he’s fucking another man and has porn on for background noise.
2) Looks at other men in a flirtatious way
When you’re out in public, does he spend too much time looking at other men? That would make sense, since we live in a patriarchy where men grow up in homosocial environments that foster and encourage male bonding.
3) Feigning attention in church and prayer groups
Have you noticed a lack of interest in spiritual issues? Maybe it’s because your husband thinks your religion is full of shit, and finds it hard to stay awake during services.
4) Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home
“Natural men have a certain amount of grit about them.” Billings, WHAT? What are “natural men?” If someone identifies as homosexual, that person is a man. Anyway… gender expression and sexuality are not directly linked. A man can enjoy baking and be straight, just as a man can be a football player and be gay. A woman can be a lawyer and be straight, just as a woman can be a ballerina and love sex with women. Get your shit straight, bud.
5) Gym membership but no interest in sports.
6) Clothes that are too tight and too “trendy”
Do you want a husband to dress like a scumbag? I hope you’d expect your husband, no matter what his sexuality is, to have some respect enough for himself to not dress like Jesus the day he was crucified. (I’ll apologize for being offensive when you, Billings, apologize for denouncing homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle.)
7) Strange sexual demands
Just because someone doesn’t want to have sex in the missionary position each time they fuck doesn’t make them gay.
Maybe he just wants to learn a few tips on how to make you feel good. Because women should enjoy sex too, you know.
9) Travels frequently to big cities or Asia
If your husband is gay, why would he fly all the way to Asia to have sex with men when there’s a healthy abundance of gay Americans? That’s right, Billings. There are A LOT of us. You should probably go hide.
10) Too many friendly young male friends
Is he a priest?
11) Sassy, sarcastic and ironic around his friends
Maybe you’re a person who actually married someone with a good personality! Stop worrying that your husband is gay, and congratulate yourself!
12) Love of pop culture
Who doesn’t love pop culture?
13) Extroverted about his bare chest in public
I say, if you’ve got it, flaunt it.
14) Sudden heavy drinking
I wonder if Lady Bush accused W Bush of being a homosexual since he’s an alcoholic. Anyway, if your husband drinks a lot, he probably hates your or his job. It’s beyond ignorant to assume homosexuality would be the cause of inner torment unless he is surrounded by a bunch of people like you, Billings. Queer individuals live healthy, happy lives.
15) Ladies, have you dated men in the past who turned out to be gay?
Then THAT man you dated was gay!!! Good for him for being proud of who he is and coming out despite people like Billings who believe in antiquated ideas that render them legitimately insane.
Maybe we should add a 16th question for the “ladies” :
Does your husband spend an excessive amount of time about homosexual issues or pretend to know exactly how to tell if someone is gay? Maybe that’s because he is gay and knows from personal experience.
Wait. Billings, are you a homosexual??

Just in case you are wondering, a life style is a choice. Attraction towards the same sex, just like attraction towards the opposite sex is not a choice, and is natural.
I am not here to bash you. I’m here to express gratitude and appreciation for people like you. Helps me stay positive, focused and confident that I am on the right path in my life to empower gay men in building confidence. Because it is people like you who add to the challenges men have expressing their feelings, and being intimate and vulnerable people.

Hey, you forgot #16: “16: If you spot your husband with another man’s genitals in any of your husband’s orifices, he is most likely gay. Straight men typically do not touch another man’s genitals, unless it occurs as accidental contact on the basketball court or unless one man angrily kicks another man in the groin out of anger. If you find your husband passionately tending to another man’s genitals, then this is a relatively strong indication that he may be gay. However, it is always a good idea to confirm such things, so it is advisable that you at least observe such activity at least 10 times before drawing a firm conclusion and calling your hubby out on it.”

I am a Christian and I found this website expecting a legit news site for Christians. It is terrible that this organization allows such deplorable things to be published on it’s site. There is no Bible-based fact in this article, or pretty much anywhere else on this site. What Christians need to be doing is helping bring others to Jesus by speaking truth and displaying the love of God to all–regardless of any sin in their life. Btw, ALL sin is equally bad and stop parading homosexuality out in the forefront like it is worse than any other sin. And really, suddenly liking lubricant and watching Glee are warning signs of homosexuality? SERIOUSLY!!! Maybe the happily married couple just has dryness issues down there and the dude finds Glee to be humorous. I can’t believe this website is for real. If you guys really do love Jesus as you claim, how can you be okay with spouting these lies? I pray that non-believers who read this are able to see past you idiots and don’t tune out the real Jesus lovers because of your ignorance.

OK, either I am missing something or everybody else here is missing something.
This article is oozing satire, yet people seem genuinely offended by it. Is there some part of the joke I’m missing were people replying pretend to by offended, when this whole site is obviously satirical?
I mean seriously, have any of you read the article on this site about power bottoming? What kind of Christian fundamentalist would write an article which is both so anti-gay, but at the same time includes still images from gay porn movies, and describes in vivid detail how anal sex takes place between gay men, under the guise of educating ourselves? OK perhaps there are a lot of Christian fundamentalists that would do that. But that is kind of the point, his over eagerness makes the reader wonder if the writer might be gay himself.
This is all very clever satire, and I think the last thing people writing the articles on this site need is a lesson in tolerance from readers who don’t get it. I’m certain this site is written by social liberals, making fun of social conservatives.

//Secondly, THIS ARTICLE IS FOR WIVES FACING A SERIOUS AND HARMFUL SITUATION IN THEIR MARRIAGES!//
You’re not a women, you don’t know how to help them outside of general advice. You’re being too specific with your lunatic views.
//You people think it’s awfully funny to come here and mock me, well this is getting OUR OF CONTROL!//
More like tell you that you’re wrong and that the way you do things is completely against the teachings of Jesus. He told everyone to love thy neighbor as thy self, and to love all of God’s children, your brothers and sisters. Instead, you seem fit to damn your fellow man and think they’re an offense to God, even though He made them.
//I have a right to free speech and the right to practive my religion THAT IS IN THE CONSTITUTION AND YOU PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SUPPRESS MY FREE SPEECH.//
We have the right of Free Speech as well to tell you that you’re a fucking terrorist, and you DON’T have the right to suppress the rights of people you don’t like.
//I find that abhorrent. You people are so quick to embrace all the loud and offensive items on the liberal playbook, but Heaven’s to Betsy someone express a Christian and Patriotic viewpoint and you all gather with your pitchforks and demand he be burned at the stake.//
I’d just as quickly fry anyone on the same side as I would the opposite side, and you and I are on the same side buddy. YOU seem fit to copy paste various bullshit without looking into it, and claim so much of yourself that you’re an offense to human beings everywhere.
//HYPORCRITES ONE AND ALL! You people should be ashamed of yourselves. You really take the cake, liars and immoral fools one and all.//
How are we the hypocrites? We’re not the ones who follow a banner of Love and Peace and yet declare war on everything.
//Also, stop talking to me about your science projects it has no relevance to the issues at hand!//
What science projects?
//This is an article to help women and you are absolutely missing the point. This is not some left wing science blog.//
This isn’t an article to help out women, this is a blog about a 60 year old terrorist who never got a woman bitching about everything he deems unfit for this world like he’s God himself.
//Homosexuality is an incredibly serious issue today and you people are just the sorts of lazy relativists who would welcome into the stormtroopers of fascism because you’re afraid that it will impede of some vague notion of liberalism you all inhabit.//
Aren’t you in favor of suppressing the rights of individuals as you see fit? You wouldn’t hesitate in taking away women’s rights or black people’s rights or any other group’s rights if you had the choice. You believe that women are weak, fragile things, and all non-American and Christian people can go die in a fire. You want to run a tyranny, not the other side.
//Oh get the ACLU on the line and your little freak bloggers and see what defense they will have WHEN THEY MARCH IN AND STEAL OUR RIGHTS.//
And Christians can do no wrong, right? Shut the FUCK up you little terrorist, Christians are capable of doing some of the worst things in this world just like anyone else, yet you fail to realize this. You think ALL NON-CHRISTIAN ACTIVITIES are damnable and deplorable.
//America is great for a reason– because we have FOUGHT HARD TO MAKE IT THAT WAY! With freedom comes responsibilites but you bums are too idiotic to comprehend that.//
YOU didn’t fight for this country, YOU sat on your ass and complained about what’s going on in this country, YOU want to undo the changes made in this country, and YOU want to spread fear and paranoia, like the TERRORIST THAT YOU ARE.
//SO STOP SPAMMING THIS MESSAGE BOARD WITH YOUR THREATS AND HOSTILITY. I am here to share my love of the ONE GOD who sacrificed His only Son for YOUR SINS!//
You share your love? YOU HATE EVERYTHING. You couldn’t comprehend love if it was slapped into your face. You want to drag Jesus’ name and God’s name through the mud to get what you want because you’re nothing more than a whiny little FUCKING BITCH.
//I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF YOU BITTER LITTLE MINDS.//
You’re constantly bitter at everything. You don’t want to be treated with hostility? THEN FUCKING MAN UP and admit you’re wrong, that you’re just causing terror, and that you aren’t an actual Christian.

Dear Mr. Billings,
I understand this is a Christian website and I understand that many of your women readers have closeted gay husbands who might be having extra curricular of the sexual nature outside of marriage.
In my case, the solution is … I let my husband be what he wants to be. As long as I am well-provided for, especially economically and preserve the social status that I have, my Christian and non-Christian charities, my faith in the Lord, and as long as he is discreet – fine by me. I have known about his gay indiscretions for a long time, but … what I can I do? He is a very good provider for me and a loving father to our children. The only kink in our marriage is, well, he sometimes strays but is very careful about it.
In fact, he only patronizes boys for rent in Thailand (it’s funny that you said that) and I’m sure in other countries too when he is on business. But he likes Asians (and as you can see from my name, I am Asian too) so it’s rice for him, not potatoes or hot dogs. In our small town USA, there no many Asians he could hook up with, so he doesn’t stray that much except during his travels.
Look, he has helped me and my family a lot, a very good Christian soul, he met me through a Christian dating site on the Internet, we hooked up in the chat room and felt that we knew each other for a long time. I’ve got my fiancee visa first (that was a nightmare), and eventually got married to him here in the US, got my green card and my citizenship. Now, I have my whole family with me from Asia because of first preference, first I petitioned my parents, then when they were here, they then petitioned my younger siblings below 21 years old. I feel sorry for my older sister because her petition will take a long time and my parents would like to come back to our homeland before they die. You know, these talks about ‘anchor babies’ are wrong. It’s more of … “anchor parents” .. you guys should investigate that!
So, what if he has some gay tendencies and indiscretions? He is a good man and sacrificed for my family. We are the only family he has because I don’t know what happened in his past, he would not tell me about his family at all. He said, they’re in Florida somewhere, but they have not talked to him since he left for college. It’s like they have thrown him out of their lives.
It’s my ultimate sacrifice, I went into this marriage … till death do us part and all that stuff. And also because of the economic benefits and the fulfillment of the dream to stay and live here in the USA.
If the woman who has the problem with her husband and can’t take it, so why go into marriage in the first place? As a Christian, you want to preserve the sanctity of your marriage, I hear this all the time from people like you. And now, you have this little problem of the husband being gay … or being in the closet, well, she has to sacrifice, grin and bear it. She’s a fine Christian woman, if Jesus sacrificed his life for us, then, it is a very small sacrifice for her to endure the marriage for marriage’s sake. Why fight all these gays wanting to get married, when suddenly, when a gay person got married to you, you have a problem? I don’t with my husband. He is a good provider, and he is a good person.
I love my husband, he is my best friend and … according to my Christian values, I, as a woman and an Asian, should be submissive and serve my husband. That’s why a lot of Western men would like to marry Asian women, because we don’t complain. Our love is absolute. The Christian woman that you say in your article is weak. She is just full of herself. She should sacrifice herself to the betterment of her marriage. If she doesn’t why call herself Christian by violating the sanctity of marriage that she entered before God? Is her faith strong? Probably not.
She should woman up and accept her lot, otherwise she will turn into salt.
Or be bitter all her life. Just like her husband.

Dear Mr. Billings,
I understand this is a Christian website and I understand that many of your women readers have closeted gay husbands who might be having extra curricular activities of the sexual nature outside of marriage.
In my case, the solution is … I let my husband be what he wants to be. As long as I am well-provided for, especially economically and preserve the social status that I have, my Christian and non-Christian charities, my faith in the Lord, and as long as he is discreet – fine by me. I have known about his gay indiscretions for a long time, but … what I can I do? He is a very good provider for me and a loving father to our children. The only kink in our marriage is, well, he sometimes strays but is very careful about it.
In fact, he only patronizes boys for rent in Thailand (it’s funny that you said that) and I’m sure in other countries too when he is on business. But he likes Asians (and as you can see from my name, I am Asian too) so it’s rice for him, not potatoes or hot dogs. In our small town USA, there no many Asians he could hook up with, so he doesn’t stray that much except during his travels.
Look, he has helped me and my family a lot, a very good Christian soul, he met me through a Christian dating site on the Internet, we hooked up in the chat room and felt that we knew each other for a long time. I’ve got my fiancee visa first (that was a nightmare), and eventually got married to him here in the US, got my green card and my citizenship. Now, I have my whole family with me from Asia because of first preference, first I petitioned my parents, then when they were here, they then petitioned my younger siblings below 21 years old. I feel sorry for my older sister because her petition will take a long time and my parents would like to come back to our homeland before they die. You know, these talks about ‘anchor babies’ are wrong. It’s more of … “anchor parents” .. you guys should investigate that!
So, what if he has some gay tendencies and indiscretions? He is a good man and sacrificed for my family. We are the only family he has because I don’t know what happened in his past, he would not tell me about his family at all. He said, they’re in Florida somewhere, but they have not talked to him since he left for college. It’s like they have thrown him out of their lives.
It’s my ultimate sacrifice, I went into this marriage … till death do us part and all that stuff. And also because of the economic benefits and the fulfillment of the dream to stay and live here in the USA.

Just a note, free speech means you can say whatever you like. It does not mean you have the right to avoid taking responsibility for your poor judgment, bad information and cruel stereotyping. You have the right to say it, we have the right to call you out on it. And yeah, you have the right to complain about us doing that. But if we all complain that other people are complaining, more complaining will ensue ad infinitum.
Rational opposition works so much better. Either it infuriates and allows one’s opponents to hang themselves on their own fallacy or it makes them see the need to calm down and treat opposing views with respect. Heightened emotions in debate only lead to anger, hatred, mistrust and misunderstanding. That is not the love of God, is it?

We say the EXACT same thing about you. It’s not pretty is it? While I’ll admit that sterotypes exist, they are a rash generalization. there are so many different types of gay people, so many different types of christians.
perhaps you should consider that the wife not sneak around and investigate, and instead communicate with her partner about what she observes and what he wants. to live in a lie is sick.

Ok
#1. Someone put this on facebook because he thought it was funny. that’s why I read it.
#2. I’m reading your comment, and I’m calling you on it. You shouldn’t have a problem with that. I seriously don’t understand where you are getting your argument from.
#3. You say your viewpoint that paints homosexuals in a demeaning manner is both Christ-like and “Patriotic” and I am calling your bluff on those comments. I mean when was Christ judgemental? He wasn’t, he was trying to be a holy man like all of the other holy men that ever lived before and after him. Constantly putting down homosexuality is a modern thing. Those types of men didn’t trifle with bothering homosexuals or adulterers for example. I don’t see you writing about all of the Christian men of God who have been serial adulterers, rapists, or child molesters. I only see you blaming the gays who are out of the closet. If someone is a model citizen and their one sin, of all the sins mentioned in the bible, is being gay, than I don’t think that is so bad. I know plenty of serious Christians who used to be gang members, alcoholics, robbers, philanderers, crack heads, people on death row. Why don’t you think Christians who work on the sabbath or eat pork are horrendous people? Why don’t you care if Christians eat shellfish or keep Kosher? I try to understand this type of thinking and I just think that you probably know someone gay and you don’t know it, but you like that person anyway because it doesn’t matter. Its not a liberal thing- its a huge oversight when quoting the Bible thing.
#4.I just expect you to admit some obvious things is all. Can you actually see Christ writing an article like that? I’m no expert on Christianity, but everyone knows that Jesus Christ of Nazareth never engaged in such negativity with people that he didn’t agree with. He was more concerned with people being kind to each other and with them leaving each other alone and not nosing into worrying about whether one of their neighbors was breaking what their minister tells them is the law. And I stress their minister because both Jesus of Nazareth himself and the Torah warned people about following svengalis. We all know that the Old Testament considers many thing to be “kadesh”, including eating pork. Why don’t you go bother some pork-eaters. I don’t eat it I tell you or any meats and I bet Jesus could appreciate that.
#5. I don’t see what is Patriotic about your article. I find this to be a simple, mathematical argument. How is is benefitting your neighbors to make comments that deride your fellow Americans. I don’t sit here and put down your relationship as being perverted so why do you think it is your business to degrade the relationships of other people as perverted. If you believe in Heaven, than you believe that in the end it is Christ who will weigh the sins of all men. If you believe that Christ will look at the sins of everyone than you know that he will look at your sins too. Haven’t you yourself sinned, aren’t you a sinner, sinning every second? So why don’t you think about your own life and your own problems and stop worrying about your own judgement of what is a sin or not. What does that have to do with Patriotism? Aren’t you worried that Jesus will judge you for judging everyone? He doesn’t say that he wants you to be the judge, that is why HE is the judge.

Just FYI, people telling you you’re an idiot does NOT infringe upon your freedom of speech. Nobody has a right to say whatever they want without other people responding with their own opinions. It’s only censorship if the government interceded to shut down your site or arrest you. It has to be FROM THE GOVERNMENT for freedom of speech to be an issue. People can protest you, boycott you, etc. That’s just civil discourse.

I fail to see the patriotism OR Christian message behind this post. I’m not a liberal in the least bit, but I am aware that patriot = supports their country, and Christian = believes and follows God. I am not sure how a ridiculous listing of somehow “gay” traits (really? working out to the point of exhaustion should cause concern over my husband’s sexual preferences?? Or wearing a tight shirt??) is a patriotic or Christian message. The truth is, is that if your husband is gay, there is going to be some odd behavior and unexplainable circumstances, but that can’t be broken down into 10 hints or suggestions as to what they will be. Nor should it be attempted. You didn’t even go onto what should happen once you see this “odd” behavior, such as fervent Golden Girl-watching, or volunteering to lead an all-boy youth group…

following the belifs of someone you agree with and being demeaning to those of another is not hypocritical.
being hypocritical is doing something you tell others they can’t do. like you demanding we don’t use free speech against your free speech.

Personally, the reason why you’re being mocked is because you’re mocking gays. If you drink a sip of wine I could easily call you an alcoholic. You’re using your false premise based on stereotypes to basically cause women to question who they’re married to, which you’re not protecting the sanctity of marriage in that sense. You’re also on a gossip site being the fact that it IS the internet and people DO talk about one another here. I find this whole site to be extremely fallible, unreliable in scholarly sources, and frankly more laughable than watching Peeps blow up in the microwave.
This country was founded upon the freedom of speech and religion, which under the constitution, if you kept up with the debate in California, the 14th amendment of the constitution says in section 1: “Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
What this means is that any minority have the same rights as any other citizen of the United States. Gay people are recognized class of people legally, which we are a minority. Your Bible doesn’t apply to it being the fact of the Treaty of Tripoli of 1792 STATES as well as the US Constitution says that the United States is not founded on religion rather the freedom to express it without imposing on the government, which Bush did a no-no. So you can scream “Oh no you can’t!” all you want, but the constitution says that we’re legally able to do what every citizen of America can do. Constitution-1; Christianity-0.

Mockery isn’t suppression of your freedom of speech. Correcting you isn’t a suppression of your freedom of speech. If someone had the power to reach into the website’s servers and delete every one of your messages, that would come close to suppressing your freedom of speech. Your freedom of speech allows you to say whatever you want. Everyone else’s freedom of speech allows them to call you on what you say. It’s not censorship or silencing, it’s open discussion. Deal with it.
As for reminding everyone that this is a spiritual matter, well, the article also makes assertions about homosexuality that have very little, if any, basis in reality. There’s no basis to try to tell people to keep their opinions to themselves.

Sir, let me first apologize for those who would quench your right to the freedom of speech. That is wrong, and you are right to be offended by it. Secondly, let me also say that yes, it is a problem that some women may have accidentally married a gay man, or vice versa, as it will be probably a less fulfilling union than if they were in fact with people who would love them in the way that they wished to be loved.
But please let me be clear on some other points: While I do fully embrace your right to say whatever you want, wherever you want, Some of the things which you have printed here as facts are in truth, hurtful misinformation. These may even apply to, and be useful for, a very, very small percentage of marriages out there, but in general, your facts are wrong. There are plenty of Gay men that do not fit the stereotype that you are, whether intentionally or not, portraying in this blog post.
As was mentioned in other comments, the individual that you are describing as the “classic gay man” sounds to be more of the extremely flamboyant sort. Furthermore, the gay man seems to be an adulterous, pedophilic bastard. Unsurprisingly, homosexuals, much like non-homosexuals, dislike being portrayed in this light. It’s fairly expected that such a negative point of view will be responded to with an equally negative stance.
In the interest of providing some advice that could actually be beneficial to women or men in the situation that you are attempting to adress, might I suggest simply talking to the spouse? Possibly remind them that, while it may not be what you would choose for yourself, it is not fair to either party to perpetuate a relationship where romantic affection is only a one way street. Even this advice should only be used in such situations as where one party is actually homosexual, which may not even be the reality in every situation where one spouse seems distant. Instead of trying to catch the other person at doing something wrong, just try to talk to them so that you both can figure out what’s right.

A prejudge filled article is certainly NOT helpful for families facing issues. You total lack of depht and scientific background on your words will just add more confusion to whom is trying to sort out what is going on. No matter your intentions, you totally missed the point of you wanted to be helpful to anyone.
Homosexuality have always existed and like it or not, it has a biological basis. Society nowadays is being more open to this fact and if there are heterosexual women being married with gay men (or viceversa) blame your hypocricy-founded society for not letting people celebrate their sexuality because some god is going to punish them for that.
Couriously, I take some of your ”pearls of wisdom” in regard to general infidelity more than homosexuality or homosexual infidelity in a marriage. This leads to me think you are probably leading some desperate housewives to think their husband could be gay when he is being a cheater. See my point here? You just went rampant against homosexuality disregarding the fact that ”strange behaviours” within a married couple could mean so many things.
It really saddens me there will still be people who will read your words and act guided by them. Ignorants following and ignorant claiming to know something is just stopping progress in our society.

as for FREEDOM OF RELIGION YES we agree you have the right to be a christian like the muslim have the same right to be Muslim and the buddhist too and so On
if you condemn them we can condemn Christian as well

First, lets put it into perspective. “Is he gay?” doesn’t necessarily equate to “Is he/she dead” as most spouses of those serving in a pointless war are wondering every morning as they wake and look down at a swollen belly or swollen eyes that will not be relieved by an absent parent’s return. At least your little problem can be relieved with a nice hot bath and couple glasses of red wine. Oh, and if you don’t know what I am talking about thank shut the fuck up and learn to live.

You say I’m against the teaching of Jesus? This is new for you. Since when did you become a Christian? Honestly, I am for both the teachings of Jesus and the Old Testament. Those people who simply focus on one over the other are not true Christians. You need to heed to BOTH books of the Bible.
As for the “copy & paste” claim you make. I am really bored of that silly comment that people post again and again. I simply have no interest in responding. But in some weird way, you accuse me of “copy & paste” when I refer to other articles or mention news stories that inspire me. When I don’t, you accuse me of having no legitimate sources. Come on!

Let me make this entirely clear people: THIS IS A CHRISTIAN WEBSITE MEANT FOR FAMILIES ADDRESSING SPIRITUAL ISSUES!
Secondly, THIS ARTICLE IS FOR WIVES FACING A SERIOUS AND HARMFUL SITUATION IN THEIR MARRIAGES!
You people think it’s awfully funny to come here and mock me, well this is getting OUR OF CONTROL! I have a right to free speech and the right to practive my religion THAT IS IN THE CONSTITUTION AND YOU PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SUPPRESS MY FREE SPEECH. I find that abhorrent. You people are so quick to embrace all the loud and offensive items on the liberal playbook, but Heaven’s to Betsy someone express a Christian and Patriotic viewpoint and you all gather with your pitchforks and demand he be burned at the stake. HYPORCRITES ONE AND ALL! You people should be ashamed of yourselves. You really take the cake, liars and immoral fools one and all.
Also, stop talking to me about your science projects it has no relevance to the issues at hand! This is an article to help women and you are absolutely missing the point. This is not some left wing science blog. Homosexuality is an incredibly serious issue today and you people are just the sorts of lazy relativists who would welcome into the stormtroopers of fascism because you’re afraid that it will impede of some vague notion of liberalism you all inhabit. Oh get the ACLU on the line and your little freak bloggers and see what defense they will have WHEN THEY MARCH IN AND STEAL OUR RIGHTS. America is great for a reason– because we have FOUGHT HARD TO MAKE IT THAT WAY! With freedom comes responsibilites but you bums are too idiotic to comprehend that.
SO STOP SPAMMING THIS MESSAGE BOARD WITH YOUR THREATS AND HOSTILITY. I am here to share my love of the ONE GOD who sacrificed His only Son for YOUR SINS!
I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF YOU BITTER LITTLE MINDS.
and now all new comments appear about 6 comments up because something you people did.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Hi Sandra, thank you for being so brave to share you story. It makes me quite sad but I am pleased that you have reached some sort of compromise that you’re comfortable with. Just remember that your friends in Christ love you and support you. You are a wonderful woman and I will pray for you. I do hope that your husband is safe and continues to love you. God bless and thank you once again for your courage and insights,
Stephenson

@SB: You are certainly entitled to your right to speak and publish freely (and even type in ALL CAPS!!!!), but with the that right, you have to be prepared to endure the public ridicule that comes with writing something so outrageous. Either toughen up or stick to writing Sunday School lesson plans.
On the bright side, you are famous. This piece is going viral on Facebook!

Actually the ACLU is a group that is designed to fight for people’s rights due to contrary belief. They’ve defended the Christian’s rights to free speech multiple times so if anything they would HELP you not “take away your rights”…

OKAY, SO WAIT A MINUTE. it’s okay for YOU to have the rights of the constitution, but it’s not okay for people who disagree with you to have those same rights? uhm, are you kidding me? grow up and take criticism like a big boy, and if you can’t, don’t post your thoughts on the internet. keep them to a pamphlet you can hand out to your other christian-tards on the street.

Sandra, white men marry asian women because they are a WALKOVER. You have just demonstrated that with your life. How many children and different partners (male and female) has he had before you? You have effectively sacrificed your life for the enjoyment of his… in the pursuit of money. Not very Christian at all.
Divorce, take (at least) half his assets, the house, children and spousal and child maintenance, and move on with your life with a man who can properly love you, sexually and emotionally.

You’re not qualified to be giving out ANY kind of advice on ANY kind of website, let alone your own blog, to ANYONE suffering from any kind of issue. You never consider ANYTHING, feelings of others, the actual teachings of Christ, the Bible, the situation at hand, you only concentrate on trying to get your name out there as some kind of expert of SOMETHING because of your superiority complex.

Sorry Jazze but when people join forces to shut down a message board because they disagree with a man’s faith, that to mean is suppression of free speech. When you people make death threats and other physical threats against me to silence me, that is an attack on my free speech. You do not understand the Constitution.

The danger with homosexuality is that exposes the entire family to death-threatening disease and because of the shame of the gay intercourse, a man is twice as likely to hide it from those around him. Also, it puts male children at risk as well for obvious reasons.

Thank you so much!
I was reading your article when I suddenly realized several of the characteristics you lay out apply to me..
I was a happily married, heterosexual man, blissfully unaware of my own seething gayness billowing just under the surface..
1. I have a gym membership
2. I’ve been to San Fransisco
3. I bathe on a regular basis, and I’ve even used hair gel and trimmed my pubes! (I always thought that was for my wife’s benefit, to keep her attracted to me by not having to sleep next to a hairy, overweight, mouth-breathing, ape who smelled like arm-pit and ass, but I now see the true meaning behind it)
4. I’ve been known to be a little sarcastic. My mother nick-named me “smart ass” when I was a kid.. I had no idea straight men weren’t supposed to have a sense of humor! I have to proclaim ignorance on that one. I honestly had no idea that was a symptom of homosexuality..
5. I have several male friends! Some of them I’ve even kept in touch with since High School! Oh God, we took gym classes together! I’ve seen some of them naked!
Even though I’ve never found myself sexually attracted to another man, fitting SO many of these characteristics is far too coincidental to be ignored..
I was afraid I had been infected with “The Gay”..
I immediately sought help.. I wen to my church for guidance.. What I found there was equally disturbing. (keeping your list in mind)
The man delivering the sermon spoke rather flamboyantly. He used his hands a lot while addressing the flock. He wore (in my opinion) a very extravagant robe with several bright colors and glittery gold shapes. He was surrounded by younger men, boys really, who looked like they were submissive to his every command, and they kept carrying candles and incense all over the place, which just seems soooper gay if you ask me..
Then I began observing the depictions of Christ found everywhere in the room. I noticed the large crucifix above the altar. Have you ever checked out the bod on Jesus? THAT DUDE WAS CUT! In his rock-star pose up there, all sweaty, showing off every glistening muscle, wearing only that shredded speedo. And those abs!!! Christ, he must’ve spent months at the gym workin on those babies!
Not to mention all of the suggestive paintings in the place. Kneeling, looking upward with those beautiful, wanton, blue eyes. His perfect flowing long hair glistening in the moonlight.. Disturbing
I looked into it.. Its no wonder homosexuality is so rampant in our society! I read about this guy, and the things I found out about him in the bible were sickening. Do you have any idea how many people have read that book? Some people read it every day!
Not only did he never marry, but he constantly wandered the dessert with several men who followed him everywhere! 12 to be exact! There was this part about a touching embrace with some guy named John in a pond.. It was practically pornographic! He hung out with whores and the diseased, and preached this overtly liberal agenda that was all about feeding the poor, helping the blind, the dying, and any other loser looking for a hand out!
Several other things clued me in to the fact that this guy was a raving homo too.. He was Jewish, (so you know he wasn’t any good at sports). He was born in a nice small town, but moved the big city of Jerusalem. He never owned property or fathered children, and it turns out, he wasn’t even American!
Thank God the Romans finally stepped in to silence this lefty, pinko, fag before his liberal filth spread all over the globe, by dishing out some good-ol’ capital punishment! That sissy-boy didn’t even have the balls to ask God to smite them! He asked for their forgiveness in fact! What a Nancy!
The world needs someone like you to take up this fight Mr Billings! You need to rid the world of such filth and false ideology! God bless you Stevenson! God bless you!

Wrong. The STDs you’re referring to can be picked up from any sexual partner. There are no exclusively gay diseases. And none of them put your entire family at risk. Please contact Planned Parenthood. You need some serious informing.

i cant beleave he just said this. uhhh so i guess straight dads are more likeing to be a risk to girl children in the house.(since they like woman) Being gay doesn’t make someone a pedo. they dont want kids they want a man. Thats why on nbc dateline you see more str8 guys showing up to molest girls then boys.
also i guess straight dads that have a sex adiction, are not a danger to his wife ether. i guess they dont have a chance of getting an std for a loose woman.

Stephenson,
Because homosexual men have an increased rate of STDs, they are doomed by God. Following that same logic, lesbian women must be the chosen people as they have the lowest occurrence of STDs.
Homosexual people are homosexual men + homosexual women. God hates homosexual men but loves homosexual women as they are the chosen people. This equals out so God loves homosexual people just as much as heterosexual people.

“The danger with homosexuality is that exposes the entire family to death-threatening disease and because of the shame of the gay intercourse, a man is twice as likely to hide it from those around him. Also, it puts male children at risk as well for obvious reasons.”
I understand you have the same right to speak your mind as I do, but the big difference is that I respect other people’s sexuality and I don’t use pre-scientific and pseudo-scientific ideas about diseases that are not really no. Homosexuality is no kind of disease as the WHO is concerned, and I think their speech is way more rational than yours. I am homosexual and I have no shame of it, my parents know, my friends know, even my teachers do. I have a little brother and he is in no risk of anything, because he is free to develop his own sexuality as I was: either he wants to be gay, bisexual or heterosexual (straight is no word to use here, we’re all straight with our condition no matter what we are as long as we respect).
And you should realise that the system that is making your readers to shut your messages is enabled by YOUR server following the thought that when there’s quite a bunch of readers that think that a comment is wrong, it should be hidden. Change that yourself or, better, change your mind about sexuality. Nowadays, we are free to love whoever we want to love. AND LOVING IS NEVER A DISEASE!

How sad that a small article to help young women struggling with a serious marriage issue should attract the attention of hordes of teens and atheists who spam and attack a place of Christian values with their unbridaled and childish hostility. This is, in essence, why we have such a divide in this country today. Too few of you realize the test that America is being put through. There are those of us who want to dream, who want to make this country great once again. The rest of you are devoid of hope and faith. Sad, really.

So anyone who disagrees with you is a teenager or an atheist? I can’t even believe a creepy clown like you would be married, so why are you pontificating pointlessly on the subject? How would you know anything about what closeted homosexuals do to find sex outside of their heterosexual marriages? Or are you trying to imply that your wife used these signs to catch you?
