Default open challenge: can anyone debunk this homophobic rhetoric?

this is a comedian that i like... i know most of you will hate him... thats whatever.

but he basically does **** where he alienates the audience a lot. and this was one of his bits. according to him he's not a real homophobe and doesn't believe this rhetoric, but when i listened to it some of it sounded pretty logical, if his facts are straight. i'm too lazy to double check all these random statistics... maybe somebody here has some insight.

i do see what i think are a few flaws with his logic here which i'll point out in another post. but for now i wanna see who can do the best job debunking him and who will just throw their arms up and have the predictable "i am outraged!!" type of half assed response.

Why don't you paraphrase the points he made that you would like to discuss? I made it to 8 minutes before I was bored out of my mind. I did laugh a couple times though, if that makes you feel any better.

He didn't really make any points, he just stated statistics and related them to stereotypes of homosexual men.
