Yoshie, queers have just as many sexual dysfunctions as the rest of us. 
The horridly gross way you express this means that if a gay man is 
impotent or has no sex drive then he has nothing to fight for. Fuck 
that! Queer people have a community, just as the Italian neighbourhood 
down the street you might go to for a good coffee. Speaking about the 
sexual aspects of this is PATRIARCHAL shit. It's like when I hear "I 
don't care what they do with their lifestyle (i.e., men who suck 
penises), just don't rub it in my face!" That crap-- total crap-- gives 
one the literal belief that there is some grand large quantity of queer 
men and women who are dying to be exhibitionists in your living room. 
What these people REALLY mean is that they want to be able to be 
straight, make straight references to sex/marriage/everything they do in 
their own form of living, but to get homosexuals, bi sexuals and others 
to "only act gay" when they are in private. That's Clintonian and 
Trudeau based politics, and it is only slightly less repugnant than Bush 
and Harper politics on the questions.

Forget about having sex. Queer people are queer even if they pecome 
parapalegic and lose all sexual sensation. It is not an act, it is who 
you are, no less than being visibly non white.

Because they can hide, doesn't mean they should listen to you and do so.
