you're right, didn't mean to jump on you with that. I've just heard too many people try to equate the two and I unfairly assumed you'd do the same. my bad.
Apologies to whoever this offended or such, that was not what I was trying to do. I just didn't ask the question in a right manner.
nah, there's nothing offensive with the way you asked the question. Some people just turn into oversensitive Internet tough girls anytime the subject of homosexuals come up. They sometimes forget this isn't reddit and that not everyone sees things the same way that their "open minds" do.
The problem isn't in the way it's phrased, even, shayan. You and that other guy are being intolerant. Like this:
Because that means you are persecuting a large number of the population for a way they are genetically, uncontrollably. There wasn't a time when you decided to like girls, you just did. And somebody being gay isn't a threat to you, so there's no actual reason to hate them. Also, you don't get to control your children's sexual orientation, so it will potentially be important for you to accept that one day. And the guy that's defending you didn't know about vaginas until a thread earlier this year.
I'm actually wondering how many iq points I lost for having read this thread. What an incredibly stupid topic.
Okay. I agree, There was some ignorance in the way I wrote the things I did. But I think, my views on homosexuality arises from my religious views and from my environment in which I grew up. Its not like I hate homosexuals. But I would find it hard to accept or think if it was my son, cousin, nephew, or anyone related to me to be a homosexual.
Yes lets disparage the "intolerant" guy for defending the guys right to ask a question or have an opinion that's different than other people.
You're right. I'd rather take the time and effort to disparage the idiot who thinks being homosexual is a vice.
Just out of curiosity, and simply because I apparently missed it, when was this proven to be true? Can you provide the details, and the medical science to back it up? Genuinely curious.
shayan, the way you've engaged the thread has been really cool. You are actually interested to hear from the other side. People get beaten and sometimes killed because they are homosexual, so a lot of folks don't take these kinds of anti-gay sentiments lightly. You may one day find that it's very easy to accept the harmless choices healthy adults make, in how they find and give love to one another. I'm sorry I insulted you.
It's kind of hard to believe the stories if you didn't see them, so kind of. "He was a world champion twirler, too!" "He was rail thin, and could dunk from the free throw line while touching the ball to his back heel!" I am not familiar with the third individual.
What you just did there was provide your opinion on the matter and made good points but what make you lose credibility is how closed ended each one is, in the way that it doesn't leave any open interpretation on the topic. The problem with the whole sexuality issue is there will always be someone against it, thus fueling people to retaliate, but then in the midst of it the people that retaliate lose target and make everyone out to be a hater of homosexuals. In reality there lies a big chunk who don't hate/care for homosexuals (but just don't prefer to be around them, for whichever reasons) By you justifying why someone shouldn't be against them you have actually created more arguments then solved. Some peoples logic is if your not for them then your against them, which isn't really fair.
Yeah, I don't think it's right to judge somebody on these terms. To answer the topic, I would support my son and hope that in his life he comes across a minimal amount of gay bashers or even people who "just don't prefer to be around them." I'm almost done with this thread, but I'll come back for ONE FINAL POST after I go survey a gay bar and ask them to prove to me that being gay is a choice.
