Chris Broussard stands against Jason Collins beliefs

I'm on my phone but I think there is some pretty decent research out there that indicates exposure to various hormones produced by the mother in the womb links strongly to sexual attraction and gender identity. Here's one study I found.

Why? It seems the more accurate conclusion is that we don't know until science proves otherwise. And under that circumstance, I don't know why the better choice would be to disapprove of a group of people and treat them as outcasts or otherwise negatively in some way.

 

you still have not come up with a negative effect of homosexuality other than its "unnatural" or "disgusting". I find snails disgusting to eat yet I don't disapprove of people eating them.

 

Had missed the posts by megastahr. Lol, good read. :grin:

The possibility that it is not something you're born with does not lead to the conclusion that it is a choice. Environment matters. And as is the case in most (if not all) nature vs. nurture arguments, the truth is probably somewhere in between.

Not that you would ever let facts get in your way. Listen, your beliefs and opinions are irrelevant, unless you have good evidence for holding them. Your argument for your "I believe it is a choice" stance seems to consist of claiming that "Science can't prove it", which is obviously (in principle) false.

 

I'm sorry but you are simply incorrect.

There are primates that engage in monogamous homosexual relationships. It is also widely documented how species of birds engage monogamous homosexual relationships as well.

 

cmoak1982...you never answered my question.

You say being gay is a choice. Are you attracted to both men and women and choose to be with women? My sexuality was not a choice at all. I cannot choose to be homosexual because I am not attracted to men.

In the same way that the most vile homophobic people are often gay, I feel like people who say sexuality is a choice must be in a similar situation. Sexuality isn't a choice at all, and if you think it is, you must be attracted to the same sex and choose not to act on it. How in the hell else did you come to your conclusions?

 

So you agree that it's acceptable to hold the belief that marrying outside of your race is wrong?

I say you are entitled to believe that, but I'll never say that belief is acceptable. I'll say that it's a bigoted belief.

 

This is not accurate. It's happened more than once where gay penguins in a committed relationship adopted and raised a baby of that species.

He should get back to tweeting innacurate rumours.

 

So basically you agree with that the argument put forward that there is s social bonding basis for homosexuality among many species of animals yet still don't think that there is a scientific basis to homosexuality?

Did you read the article I provided the link to that goes into the science behind that argument? Do you think that animals such as giraffes and seagulls are homosexuals by choice?

 

I have always been gay friendly, not sure why, other than I have relatives and friends that I love very much who are gay. I am not gay and do not think that it is God's design, like Chris Broussard. Also, I think he has a right to his opinion and should not be bashed for what he thinks. We all are short of God's design and through Christ, God understands we are fallen and has come to rescue us. We can all be made whole again. I do not judge others, I choose to love them.

 

I've read a little on it, but I believe its in the second trimester when sex is determined from the presence or lack of a certain hormone

 

Bonding with same sex isn't the same as homosexuality, look guys I get it y'all want everyone to accept anything someone is, I do I don't have to agree with it just like I don't have to agree with murderers, rapist, pedophiles and such but I do have to accept they're going to do what they do

 

That's not the point stop trying to turn this to a race issue dude.

 

Lol, come on man you that immature, mommy that man doesn't think like I do waa. Its easy to say you don't agree with being gay you must be gay. I'm not homophobic in fact a very close cousin of mine is gay as well as a cross dressing uncle due to some issues as a child, I love them but they do know I don't agree with it. That's my whole point its my opinion and right to feel that way. That however doesn't give me the right to bash them which I dont . That's enough of the mob mentality he doesn't agree lynch him up.

 

For future reference, you should link to the actual primary source

While I agree with your first sentiment I don't with your second in fact it's a little contradictory. I believe outside factors at developmental stages do have a strong correlation with the sexuality of adults so that still doesn't mean they're born that way. Don't just assume I'm some narrow minded uneducated bible beating redneck. In fact I haven't brought any aspect of that into this conversation. I feel that way based on a pretty extensive background. That's all like I said my whole discussion has been that I don't think its right. They have the right and I mean every right to do as they please. Every gay friend I've had knows I've felt this way.

 

I couldn't I was on my phone like I said in my original post.

 

Do you think believing in Religion is natural ? I don't think Science has quite proven religion is real yet.

 

lol what? Did I just read this correctly? You believe that the child's sex (their gender) isn't determined until the 2nd trimester?
