But there will also be kids that have less than others and get picked on because of it. There will always be a reason that kids get made fun of so that is unavoidable. It is a weak argument against gay people becoming parents.
What else should I be All apologies What else should I say Everyone is gay What else could I write I don’t have the right What else should I be All apologies In the sun In the sun I feed as one In the sun In the sun I’m married Buried I wish I was like you Easily amused Find my nest of salt Everything is my fault I’ll take all the blame Aqua seafoam shame Sunburn with freezerburn Choking on the ashes of her enemy All in all we all are
Ultimately it is a choice. However the homosexuals with whom I have discussed this believe that for whatever reason they are naurally attracted to males over females although they can be attracted to females as well. The example they've given me: You remember those wet dreams you had during puberty? Theirs consisted of dreaming about the same sex. You think that was a choice? One friend of mine who is bisexual explains his preferences like this. When he sees another person he honestly doesn't see them as male or female, just as a person. He can find either attractive sexually.
NJ: I hear what you're saying, but I think it's less of a concern than it was ten years ago. Some (successful) political manuevering to the contrary, the trend is good. That's why young people poll in favor of equal rights for gays. Not more than thirty years ago you could have made the exact same argument against bi-racial couples adopting -- and it was certainly true that kids made fun of kids with bi-racial parents then. My sweet, late grandmother, a Jew, used to say in her later life that her attitude toward blacks had changed over her life -- that she had come to regard them as equal and welcome partners in society, but that she felt interracial marriage was wrong because it "wasn't fair to the kids." The question is, would you have made that argument then? And if so, looking back, would you have been right to do so? Children are not intuitively homophobic, as they are not intuitively racist. That's learned behavior. Rather than accepting homophobia as a fact of life, let's try and work toward eliminating it as we have been doing with relatively good success with racism these many years. Broad acceptance of homosexuality will happen, regardless of attempts to obstruct it -- it's a question of how quickly we're willing to get there.
Again, if it is a choice then I am left with more questions. At what point did you choose to be heterosexual? What kind of thinking went into your decision to be heterosexual? For me it was natural to be heterosexual, and I never had to choose that. It isn't hard to imagine nature has folks with different tendencies. But for a heterosexual who beleives that it is a choice, I'm curious to know what it was like making that decision.
IMO, you choose that you are attracted to either a man or a woman. The same way you decide that you are more attracted to blondes or brunettes....blacks or whites....tall or short....fat or thin....different strokes for different folks.
I wonder if it is possible that some people choose and some don't. Do you remember the specific moment you chose to be attaracted to the opposite sex? I just always was attracted to the opposite sex, and didn't even think there was any other way.
I think its a conscious decision when you decide to fol around with a guy because he turns you on or fool around with a girl because she turns you on...I know what you are getting at....and I don't buy into the "you are either born gay or straight" argument...
I understand you don't buy into it. But it is the only wayl that I know. For me a guy never turned me on, so I never made the choice. Girls always turned me on, so when I fooled around there was no question which sex it was going to be with. I made no choice about which sex could turn me on. The opposite sex did turn me on, and occupied my thoughts, the other sex didn't really enter into it. I think Science hasn't come down one way or the other definitively. I only know my own experience, which leads me to go in the born gay or straight side of things. It because you have a different view that I am curious about what it was like choosing.
Not at all. I just know that I never made a choice. I was trying to find out some empircal evidence from somebody who did.
i know you're not, i'm just foolin'. it just boggles my mind how people spend so much time worrying about other people's lifestyles. who cares?
Men loving Men Women Loving Women natural Men Sexing Men Women sexing women not natural love is an emotion and at a base level i would hope it is natural for us to all love each other Sex is a biological funtion primarily used to procreate all the good feeling .. all the relaxation those are bi products to 'encourage' procreation So Homosexuality is not natural but neither is oral or anal sex neither are condoms. .. . at best it is like masterbation as an ASIDE the natrality of homosexuality should not be the basis of their rights So whether it is a choice of not is irrelevant My most major issues about Gay Marriage are this: 1. Marriage should be the religious thing that is has always been it has NO PLACE in government 2. From my understanding most of the major religions have issues with homosexuality . . to coopt their concepts for something they oppose is wrong It feels wrong to me Like Hitler having a bar Mitzpha [sp?] (which strangely enough may have happened since his father was Jewish) If you have hatred of Jewish People or basically going against their beleifs then wanna take their concepts and beleives for your own usage . .i think that is wrong . .. . esp when their is an alternative [Civil Unions] Rocket River for the record. . i do not hate Jew os homosexuals or anyone . . .
