Ever notice how more men are homophobes? As far as I'm concerned, Homophobia is just a cowardly way for insecure guys to "assert their manliness". BS. Any brave person is not afraid of those different from them.

Im not sure if I was understood, I wasn't comparing homosexuality to pedophilia, but that the acceptance of homosexuality has led to an increase in the scope of people who would like to justify unethical behaviors.

Those in the man boy love organizations do not believe that they are engaging in pedophila, but that they are expressing their love in an appropriate way, with consenting minors.

And whether or not there is some so-called "gay gene" is irrelevant anyway, because homosexuality is still essentially a behavior, which means that it still falls within the realm of morality.

You don't seem to understand that a person who is in the NAMBLA will say that he and his partner do have love. How can you prove that they do not?

I think you are misunderstanding some things. Fear is not a factor for many of us at all. Some of us simply do not believe that homosexuality is appropriate behavior and disagree with it on those grounds

Rosalie, I think you're seeing the other people's arguments too narrowly.
I dont really have a word for it but it seems like something is missing from your arguments.

I always like how people like Frotzer disappear as soon as they're met with opposition.

uhhh what? I dont go down that easy Rosalie

well, i dunno why but gay guys seem to relate to s better so the s like them better than the straight guys.

uhhh what? I dont go down that easy Rosalie

well, i dunno why but gay guys seem to relate to females better so they like them better than the straight guys.

edit: the other word i was saying seems to be filtered out, so im using females from now on

Then where the hell is your retort?

I think if kids are raised by homosexuals, they're more likely to become homosexuals. Many children develop their veiw of the world at an early age, so the chance of them becoming homosexual is defenitely greater.

Though this was discussed on theprevious page, I'd like to add my two cents. If I someday have kids, I wouldn't want them to be homosexual. I would still love them just as much, but I'd want them to raise their own families, and have kids of their own.

Is this a bad thing? it depends how you think of it. I personally don't want homosexuals "turning" others into homosexuals, as heterosexuality is vital for mankind, and because of that, normal. Yes, normal.

But that brings me to something else; is anyone really homo or heterosexual? People are people why are men attracted to woman and women attracted to men, other than the need to reproduce? I think most of this is in our sub-concious, someone might think they're homosexual, but there's really no such thing, pretty much. If it were normal, I'd probably like other men, but it's not, so I naturally don't, as I see other people at a very young age, like my parents, act as heterosexuals.

Not that i think the whole world will stop being heterosexual, because how did homosexuality begin in the first place? There'd have to be heterosexuals

Here's something that just popped into my head:
If we knew the "cause" of homosexuality, be it genetic, psychological, pure choice, etc, would it change your feelings about it?
By that, I mean would your stance on something like gay marriage change?

Because of its base in apathy ("I spend too much time on my own business to put my nose in other peoples' business"), mine probably wouldn't.

I only bring this up, because people seem to be debating the "cause(s)", but don't seem to really care why.

You're joking right? Sexual preference isn't something you learn like that. I.....wish I had a way to verbalize all the things I want to say to dispute that point, but it isn't formulating right in my brain.

But that point is so wrong. So wrong. There is no proof that homosexual parents = homosexual children. Heterosexual parents don't = hetersexual children either....

I was arguing against that too, Sakura. Please re-read my post.

Well, JJM, I would say that you might be a little off on this one. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that same-sex attraction could very well be inborn, although many cases I agree are psychological. I would ask you how much actual study you have done on this to base your opinions...

I ould defenitely be off, that's justmy opinion, there are barely any facts in that post. I do, however, think that there's a greater chance for a kdi to be homosexual if they're raised by homosexuals. Kids learn a lot from their parents.

I'll hjave to do some research, btu i don't think that things like homosexuality are inborn. Until I do some research, i think that you're born with mainly only your instincts, and you learn as you go.

I do, however, think that there's a greater chance for a kid to be homosexual if they're raised by homosexuals. Kids learn a lot from their parents.

I think that JJM really is right in some respect. Kids DO learn a lot from their parents, so kids raised by homosexual parents are almost definately more likely to be more open and accepting of homosexuals. If the kid does have homosexual tendencies, it will probably be easier for him/her to come out, or at least face his feelings. One of my best freinds recently told me he was gay, and that he had been debating with himself for years about whether he was or wasn't. Some people could go through their entire lives trying to figure out if they were gay or not, because of some deeply embedded shred of homophobia, and if they have homosexuals for parents, it will probably be easier for tham to make their deciion, cause they won't have that little bit of homophobia that I think every straight person has.

Incidentally, if homosexual parents did cause homosexual children, this wouldn't even be a bad thing. The overpopulation crisis on Earth means that it could even be considered a good thing.

But it's UNNATURAL!
