I agree it only has to do with expected norms. Sexual orientations are what they are and I see heterosexual as normal and all other orientations as abnormal. I view it as a person would view normality as people normally have ten fingers and toes but some are born with differing numbers making them abnormal. The analogy using gay/nudist was to depict how I place the sexual orientation difference as a shock to my norm. Someone with less or more fingers would not shock my norm to the same level as gay-normal shocks my norm. For example my sons have a friend whose mom has no legs below the knee that I wasn’t aware of and when she came to pick up her son I invited her in the house but she insisted that she would wait in the car… learning she had no legs I was shocked but adjusted instantly. Had the child’s dad came and I invited him in the house to learn he was gay I would be shocked equally to the level of entering a nudist colony without warning.
I have always asserted gay is a normal occurrence in nature, but unlike nature where the weak is killed by the strong humans excuse the weakness and show compassion, compassion but not elevation to the normality shared by the normal majority of the people. I would think there should be a team of scientist working around the clock looking for a cure to this abnormality. In the meantime gays should understand the shock their differences cause and not shock those around them.
No you didn't, you stated they are an abomination of nature. How are are gays "weak"? Not to mention you have a poor understanding of evolution. It's who passes on their genes, strength alone doesn't guarantee that happening. As for what is normal, ask everyone what is normal and everyone will find that everyone else is abnormal in some manner. If you knew me, you'd have no problem describing me as normal except for the gay thing. How does that one thing dominate the rest of my normalness? I also doubt you'd be just as shocked for a gay person to be in your home as you would a nudist. I'm not about to respect people being idiots and if they want to make a stink and look stupid they are free to do so. I expect people to use sound reasoning, but I guess that makes me abnormal.
Well I think your and all progressive liberals are speeding toward a cliff and change should happen over time and not instantly… you can say women are equal in the military but give them a separate physical test to make up for physical differences but they are not equal to men soldiers, you can say Afro Americans are equal but many refuse to stand without being propped up by law and rights not earned… I would refer you to a post on the Do you consider yourself selfish thread
Physically, men and women are different andf there's nothing that can be done about that. What's important is if women can perform the tasks assigned to them. I advocate following through on our Constitution and Bill of Rights. All Americans should, not just progressive liberals. And I'm not about to waste time on a post you believe to be insightful.
Now this person states he is half white-black and from several posts he’s made perhaps gay and he sounds as conservative as me. People earn respect and not demand respect. People earn compassion and understanding and like the quote above refers to others not having yet earned it are not qualified for it. In stead of earning acceptance the agenda chooses to abuse Boy Scouts and mess with military recruiters... the agenda demands acceptance!
First of all, we're not talking about "earning respect", so you're wrong again. Just like you tried to dodge the natural aspect of homosexuality you attempt to conflate respect for a minority with equality under the law. Stick to the issues, I'm not going to waste time on this stupidity. If you were an immigrant seeking citizenship and your status was hanging on the question, "Do you have to earn your rights as an American citizen? Circle "Yes" or "No"" You'd fail because you wouldn't have circled either and just wrote a bunch of unrelated drivel about earning respect which has nothing to do with rights. And the worst part is you'd think you were clever. Many gay people would like acceptance, but don't demand it. What we demand are equal rights. The Boy Scouts wanted to be a private organization and accept federal funding while discriminating against non-religious scouts and gay scouts. All they had to do was stop taking federal funding, but they wanted to have their cakee and eat it too. Why don't you look at the facts instead of accepting whatever sounds good to you, ie use your brain. You're not a ferret, a baboon, etc you have the capacity for sound reason so if you're going to debate me you better use it.
The majority wish gays were the same way they are, normal because normal is normal and feels good to be normal. In the 1950’s/60’s every American household had an ashtray on the coffee table and if a smoker met a non smoker the non smoker usually apologized for being unable to smoke because of asthma or some similar reason because they desired to be normal. Then most people smoked… compare that to now fifty or sixty years later where smokers are the ones required apologizing for smoking… The point is gays were in the closet forever but the agenda is to make such an equal transition on a dime and the normal hasn’t shifted that quickly.
So all you've demonstrated is that what is "normal" is subjective and changes over time, hence the term "normal" doesn't mean all that much. Again, normal or not, we are supposed to be the "Land of the Free", but we seem to think we can claim that title while denying fellow citizens the same treatment under the law.
Then you have no excuse to adhere to dogma of any kind.
I agree and came to the defense of a gay man as I posted before.
I don't recall and I'd rather stick to the issues.
Because the word gay represents desire for those sex acts of the same sex and nothing more. That is why it is repulsive to me and I think it should be the desire of any person struck with the condition to seek out a cure. Homosexuality serves no purpose in nature as I see nature therefore one should desire to avert it.
Why does that make it repulsive? If you find the acts personally repulsive, well of course you would, you're not gay. And just because you don't like it it needs to be cured? I guess all those gay couples who want to be married don't exist. What? Just because you're too dense to see any benefits of homosexuality in nature, it should be averted? How about the fact that I find ignorant people who have unchangeable opinions on matters they know nothing about repulsive? Chances are you're an ugly individual. If so, I find the ideathat you and every other ugly person having sex to be repulsive. That said, I'm not about to pass laws against ugly people just because they're visually offensive. Like I said, anyone would rather see two hot A&F guys have sex than two nasty looking straight people. Forgoing the inborn ability to be a rational being should be averted.
I seldom think of strait people having sex because it is normal function that is part of many things normal people do where when one thinks of homosexuals it seems to be their purpose in life and nothing more.
Why would being straight or gay change your position that sex is ones only purpose in life? That makes no sense. Sex is normal/excpected regardless of orientation. I can't help it if you think all I want to do is have sex. You obviously have an unhealthy fixation on gay sex considering that you claim to be straight.
