If you aren't joking, then you are the one with serious mental issues. Please tell me you are joking. If you have a problem with people being gay, you are entitled to your opinion. But to call it an "illness" that people use for political gain is completely absurd. It is so absurd, that I actually feel a little bit dumber from reading what you wrote. As previous posters said before, there are no words to describe or properly respond to this insanely idiotic, bigoted and stone-aged line of thinking. Once again, I hope you were joking (and if you were, touche).
Have you ever met a gay individual? Maybe you've met only one and they were abused and you are generalizing it causing an illness onto him and every other gay person? This is Zanta whatever the heck his name is bad. In fact it may be the stupidest thing I've ever seen posted in 8 years of reading this board.
You'll find far more far leaning posters who are willing to break ranks and voice individual opinions here than not.
It's not okay to be gay. Our evolutionary imperative is to pass our genetic material to the next generation. If however we develop the practice of sticking our sexual organs up other people's rectum or using a strap on, where does that leave humanity? It is unnatural and self destructive. I'm sorry if my post comes off as harsh but I felt it needed to be said.
Which do you think is more destructive to our society/culture: A. Gay people getting married or B. Straight people getting divorced
Society/Culture can't be simplified into those two narrow groups. I meant that from a biological and evolutionary perspective, homosexuality is a destructive behaviour to humanity. They can't naturally conceive children and it's not a healthy practice relying on adopting foster children or using surrogacy.
It is natural and occurs in species throughout nature. It would be true if the rate of homosexuality was 100%, there wouldn't be anyone to continue the species. But homosexuality doesn't occur anywhere close to that frequently.
I have my own thoughts about whether homosexuality is a natural occurrence or not, but one thing that should be repeated is that a lot of young people who are gay seemed to be trapped by it, and wished they weren't that way because of the negative connotations our society (particularly elementary and junior high kids) place on homosexuals. This leads to their mental state being severely damaged, not the fact that they are gay.
I'll go ahead and ask, is it just a waste for me and my wife to have sex because she has an IUD, and therefore won't get pregnant? Can I no longer perform any non-vaginal intercourse with her? Is there something wrong with not wanting to have children? If it is so unnatural, then why do so many people have the urge to do it? New rule in effect guys, we will only perfom sex in the missionary style, for the purpose of bearing children. Any other sexual act including sodomy, masterbation, or touching of genitals in any manner deviating from the rule set forth will be punishable by death. Weren't the days of that so much more fun?
You seem to be working from the ridiculous assumption that humans are on the verge of extinction because of our small numbers and that ALL people need to procreate for the species to carry on.
Your wife's IUD is a temporary device, maybe you two are not in the stage of life where you're not ready to have a kid whether financially or emotionally. Gay people however commit to a lifestyle that is permanently against having a child. Their homosexuality denies them of a opportunity to have a child anytime in their life and I think that's unnatural. As for masturbation, that's just hedonistic. Fleeting pleasure is not an indication of whether a person wants to have a kid or not.
If homosexuality is wrong from the standpoint that it is "destructive", but isn't overpopulation even worse? I really don't think humanity is in any danger of dying out because there are too many gay people.
Call me old fashioned I guess... It is an illness. Anyone who would choose to stick his sphincter up another mans butt has got serious issues. The STD rate among gays is grossly inflated due to the deviant behavior and sharing of bodily fluids. Its a choice they make for sure but that choice is influenced by life experiences and exposures. Humans are meant to have intercourse to reproduce, thus a man and a woman, having sex is a purposeful event. Gays butt f@#$%ng each other serves no purpose other then self pleasure and somehow justifying their behavior. You should watch your choice of words, just because somebody doesn't agree that something is good or right doesn't make them a bigot. I never said I hated them or wished them ill will. You people like to throw names around to stigmatize and label people who have opinions that differ from yours......now who is the fascist?
Darwin would say that creating the most offspring no matter how healthy makes you the strongest. Given the gross overpopulation all across the world, I actually find it admirable (not more admirable than having kids) that a couple would choose to avoid having children or go and adopt instead. Fact is any couple can procreate, gay or straight, and it doesn't have to be of the test tube variety.
Stick his sphincter up another man's butt? What anatomy class were you taking? Straight couples do anal. Your wife would probably enjoy it. Your daughter? Probably up the pooper someday. Sex is meant to be pleasurable. Also the STD rate among straight couples is enormous, and no matter what type of sex it is, if there is no exchange of some bodily fluids then chances are you're not doing it right.
Illness is defined as "poor health resulting from disease of body or mind." The people that I know that have chosen that lifestyle are pretty happy and healthy. In fact, I think you could definitely make an argument that there are plenty of people who refuse to accept a particular lifestyle and suffer depression because of it. This reminds me of that South Park episode where Butter's parents sent him to a camp that "fixes" homosexuality.
