But the majority of homosexuals are not violent. You need to think of something when you read those statistics. For one, homosexuals only make up a minority of the population (not sure how much of a minority). So any statistics are going to be askew; after all, if 2 out of 10 people go into bondage, then that's 20% of that statistic. If 20 out of 100 people do it, then that's 20%; compared the two. Same percentage, a helluva whole lot more people.
I like to think that most people are decent people, or at least not willing to go to extremes. Also, the website you originally linked to say that homosexuals have sex with multiple partners. I don't agree; I think that some of them do, but not all. Most people, however, that stick with a single partner are very rarely going to be blatant about their homosexuality; they're "closeted", I guess, even though that term seems to have gone out of style. So yes, if you look at many admitted homosexuals, you'll see the more extremist ones.
I think that the majority of homosexuals are like the majority of heterosexuals; they aren't really going to go to an orgy, and won't necessarily have sex with multiple partners. I know of one homosexual that was like that.
Then, one other reason why homosexuals might be more open-minded about the whole bondage and S&M scene has *more* to do with the fact that, if you're gay, you'll wish society was more open-minded about how your sexual orientation. So, more likely (and NOT in all cases! Note that we're still talking about a small percentage of a small population!), you'll have a homosexual that's feeling oppressed by society, and feels like people should be more open-minded about sexual practices. So, they're more likely to accept sexual practices that are kinda odd than the average person.
Sado-Masochism games I'm kinda iffy on, personally. However, bondage, as long as it's safe, I'm not really against. But that's just me.
As for the whole "homosexual rape" thing... well, I'm iffy on that statistic. I can list a number of things that could easily influence that, and I would also have to compare it with rape statistics in the area amongst straight men (especially to population factor).
However, does it include prisons? A lot of "homosexual rape" takes place in prisons, and the majority of "homosexual rape" in those instances don't have to do with homosexuals, but instead men with no women around that are naturally horny.
Also, I'm iffy on the whole "statutory rape" thing. If an 18 year old has sex with a 17 year old in an area where the Minimum Age is 18, then the 18 year old would be branded a Sex Offender (literally -- they call him a sex offender, and brand him as one!), and then arrest him for statutory "rape". Even if it's consensual.
I will admit, however, that the whole "getting kids to do things" is out there. One friend of mine was used as a prostitute since the age of 12 years old! However, I'd also have to compare that to the number of Russian women brought into the US, and then effectively used as slaves for American men. I'd also have to compare ages.
As for the "whole impact of violence on homosexual lifespan", my question is this: How many homosexuals were killed outright by anti-gay groups? I know of one homosexual that was tied to a fence and then set on fire as a hate crime. And what about just... the generic hate for homosexuals?
