American society tends to have a negative bias on what a gay person looks like. One extreme is an older man, perhaps in his late 50's, needs a shave, dirty, smelly and wearing tattered clothes. He has no friends, keeps to himself quietly and frequently drinks by himself. He spends most of his time planning his attack on the next victim, another seven-year-old boy.

Another is a man in his mid 40's. He's wearing panties, hose, a dress, high heels and a wig from the drug store. The stubble from his beard shows through his makeup and the hair on his legs pierce through his hose.

One more is the guy in is late 20's that's overly sensitive, talks with a lisp and spends way too much time on current fashions, Broadway shows and personal hygiene.

Let's not forget the woman in her mid 30's that has her hair cut way too short, wears flannel shirts and doesn't accept crude comments from men.

These are all stereotypes created to point out and segregate gay people. Once they are separated out, they make easy targets.

Actually, there are very few gay people that fall into the stereotypes.

Nationwide police reports show that almost all child molestations occur between male and female. Virtually every rape occurs between male and female, usually of the same race and background.

Gay people fall into every culture, race, ethnicity and every socioeconomic background. They are in every profession at every level.

Gay people are actually difficult to distinguish because they do not want to be segregated, labeled and harassed.

Gay people have differences with their sexuality, but lead perfectly normal lives in every respect.
