Question from mod forum: homosexuality + retardation
So I was reading a post where a mod got called a gay retard which got me thinking about whether or not people who actually mentally retarded express things like homosexuality, or whether or not there have been any studies. I think this would be interesting as its not something I've ever seen discussed but I would expect that ratio of homosexual to heterosexual to be the same regardless of IQ. Would everyone agree?
I did a google search but found absolutely nothing. |

I actually think homosexuality is more a function of one's environment growing up.
Depends on the type/severity of mental retardation you are talking about, but its very likely that a large subset of those people simply cannot contextualize their environment. |

My stance on this is always "I don't know why people are gay, and I don't think it's a good think that we try and find out lest somebody try and fix it".
That said, I would assume there are gay retards. |

Re: Question from mod forum: homosexuality + retardation
A really good friend of mine worked in adult group homes for years.
He's told me that he walks in on guys doing each other all the time. Since they are adults and consenting, all he can do is close the door and try to forget he ever saw it. The impression I got from him is that it's just a couple guys getting off. They don't really have the capacity for love/romance since they have the mind of a child. They would bang anything that you let them, for the most part anyway. |

Re: Question from mod forum: homosexuality + retardation
I worked as security in an adult bookstore for a minute, and there was a group of retarded young men 18-20ish who would come into the store and use the video arcade. The guy who worked the counter happened to be gay and said that the group came in often. Obviously they had sexual urges, less obvious was if they were actually gay or just taking advantage of opportunity. I think their chance of scoring with any chick retarded or not would be pretty small so I believe they had more opportunity and less inhibition to act on sexual urges with the other retarded members of their group.
