According to what I have seen on Jerry Springer, most of the people who appear on that show are highly dysfunctional and not truly representative of the average straight or gay, black or white American citizen populating our villages, towns and cities.
I know we're in bad shape, but it ain't as bleak as Jerry Springer and Maury Povich would have us believe.
Edited: And transgender "men"*-- some of whom are homosexual and some of whom are not-- are kind of a different category of "non-conforming men."

Re-edited: Oy vey. This is an unwieldy topic. I was compelled to add quotes to the word men, because some of my transgender friends (who were born biologically male) object to being called men, as you so astutely observed in your reference to the wig- and weave-snatching denizens of the Jerry Springer Show. I also know of a couple of transgender individuals who were born female, and they, too, object to being called women. However, neither is typical of the average non-transgender homosexual.
How's that for a confusing mix of political correctness?
