There seems to be a large number of teenage homosexuals who take drugs. Just about every one of my homosexual friends do/have, I did for several years (now on a long, bumpy, yet progressive road towards sobriety), and many older homosexuals I've met make it a lifestyle...

My personal take is never touch the s**t. Even if you say you're an exception to a lot of stereotypical outcomes from drugs, chances are you'll get hooked if you enjoy it. I've seen good people deteriorate and lose their senses due to their addictions and lack of a will to quit.

Why the large numbers around here, I do not know. The average homosexual adolescent on average has a bit more of a stressful upbringing, perhaps that's what drives them to turn to something that relieves that problem.

Anyone else's opinion?

I think the large amount of drugs in the gay community has its roots in the 70's. Back then sex, drugs, and gays went hand in hand. Gay back then had a since of being invincible since they didnt have to worry about getting pregnant, and with that mentality came "drugs wont hurt me". Unfortunately that mentality stayed around. With more clubs and bars opening that cater to gays and websites thats all about hooking up drugs will always be present in them.

I really don't think it has much to do with being gay or not. I have not done any drugs and none of me homosexual friends had either. But I'm not ruling it all out. I go know a few people that are gay and use drug or have used them. I also know a few people that arent' gay and use drugs. I think it really has to do with how you grew up. Maybe your parents did it, or the people that were your friends, some one you looked up to, maybe you had a low self essteem; it coudl be a number of things.

Maybe where you live there's not a high rate, and you're lucky to have good friends like that- but it's not so at my Highschool. Every gay/lesbian I know, with the exception of 3. Maybe it's because I live in NH, they're all bored. o_O; Trees and cows...

I don't see a correlation between the ability to be pregnant and understanding the effects of drugs. That's a wide gap. And if I knew anyone who thought like that, frankly, it would just scare me.
