In response to a David Horowitz article, Clayton Cramer blogs about homosexuals this week:

I try very, very hard to take seriously the homosexuals that write to me and insist that they aren't like the sickos that dominate the public image of homosexuals in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I used to live. I am prepared to believe them. I know a number of homosexuals who are looking to live in peace, who don't think that public masturbation is an appropriate expression of Gay Pride, who think that the North American Man-Boy Love Association is a bunch of monsters who need to arrested and sent to prison. This crowd has stable, normal, lifestyles (other than the sex of their sexual partner).

OK, he's trying to be tolerant, but then he loses it:

This subset of homosexuals (at least, I would like to believe it is a subset) is a very dangerous population, not just because AIDS burdens both the public and private health systems in the U.S., but because there are so many social pathologies that are part of this very warped crowd: coprophilia (hence, the high rates of hepatitis among gay men); sadomasochism (favorite disturbing quote from the San Francisco Police Department while recruiting police officers in an S&M club in the early 1990s: "We don't have teach use of restraint devices to this crowd!"); either active support or tacit approval of groups like NAMBLA; the weird and insulting stereotypes of the histronic, effeminate male homosexual; the self-mutilation fetishism. Once you define homosexuality as "an alternative lifestyle," with all the protections of our civil rights laws, where does this take our society? Somewhere it shouldn't go. I am not interested in defending a society that makes excuses for child molestation.

This is criticism of an entire group for the behavior of a few individuals in the group.

To pick another of Cramer's recent blog posts, this is like saying that all heterosexuals are bad, since heterosexuals are responsible for 100% of teen pregnancy. Less facetiously, heterosexual men are responsible for the majority of sexual assaults in this country. Heterosexuals also engage in S&M and self-mutilation (I'm assuming Cramer means things like piercings and brandings). It isn't logical to tar all members of a group with the same brush.

To defend a point not touched on, the number of partners for an average homosexual has been exaggerated. Eugene Volokh reveals the flawed methodology.
