Object: Homosexuality = Birth Defect?
Why do so many Christians believe homosexuality is a choice? Are autistic
children responsible for their handicap?

Yes, homosexuality is a birth defect. One that they can't help. It's that
simple. And it's a sin to hate someone for something like that. Just keep it
in the bedroom and out of my face.

You're right in one respect, it's not a choice. It can't be helped.
Christian bigotry, OTOH, can be helped. The fact that you do nothing to
quell the ugly flow of hatred from your pie hole speaks wonders of your
beautiful love religion.

It's
that simple. And it's a sin to hate someone for something like that.

Then why do you?

Just keep it in the bedroom and out of my face.

Nice attempt at tolerance, but I guess it's the best you can do.

It actually is a sincere expression of tolerance.
The vast majority of straights confine their intimate amorous
activities to their private bedrooms and they try to keep their
asses out of the public's face.
How could it be wrong for the straights to expect the gay couples
also to carry on with their intimate amorous activities only when
they are alone with each other in private?
Almost all heterosexual couples confine their non-intimate amorous
activities such as holding hands and strolling along arm-in-arm,
and kissing and hugging to areas where such activities are generally
seen as socially acceptable by almost all others in those places.
Homosexual couples should also do the same. Out of consideration
for the feelings of others it is the polite and right thing for people
to do.

A gay bar is probably not the best place to hang out if you don't want
gayness rubbed in your face. Or in your case, against your tongue.

Ah, yes. And ONLY homosexuals would do such a thing. I guess that
straight couple I saw having sex in a pick up in a public park at
three in the afternoon on labor day was just my imagination.

Is it OK for hetero couples to do the same? Where is the distinction,
where does one draw the line? Do you think children will adopt homosexual
tendencies because they see it in a park? One cannot choose to be
homosexual or heterosexual. One is born that way.
When you see homosexual activity it grosses you out, so you project that
feeling on others around you. Why?

Of course. I am talking about "carrying on" only in the non-intimate
sense, doing things like playing kissy face, and strolling along holding
hands or walking along arm-in-arm.

Aw, c'mon now, you know the difference between hets and homos.

I say that one may choose to be homosexual or heterosexual.
It is a simple matter of exercising one's "free will".
I know you will disagree with me about that, but I do not

to carry on in a secluded area instead of in a public park
in full view of where children are playing.

This is where you fail. Sexuality and sexual orientation are not a
choice, they are not influencable. The only thing that would happen,
depending on the parents' meddling with the child's character, is that
the child would observe, make a mental note, file it under "what some
people do", and probably make a jugement. Do you seriously think if you
and your little friend Johnny saw two men kiss, you'd want to try it?

When you had your first wet dream, was the dream of a hetero of
homosexual nature? Why? Can you control your dreams?

It strikes me as odd that so many people without children are so
concerned about 'survival of the species'. Particularly since that
phrase is anathema to the primary group who carries highest the anti
gay banner. In this country, birth rates have fallen precipitously
for decades. It would seem that if there was a genuine concern for
procreation, there would be higher birth rates and less use of birth
control among the mostly white and Christian homophobes who make up
the bulk of the anti-gay movement.

When you see homosexual activity it grosses you out, so you
project that feeling on others around you. Why?

Seeing homosexual activity grosses out almost all normal people.


So hetero = normal, eh?


And you wonder why people are fed up with the homosexual political
agenda.

I imagine some people are fed up with a great many things. Some of
them actually exist unlike "the homosexual political agenda". Being
"fed up" however is not an argument or a justification.



Sez who?


Sez Mother Nature, and the Manual For the Survival of Species.

Neither one of the above exists. On the other hand there is no reason
to believe that homosexuality has not always existed, yet the species
seems to be reproducing quite well.


The bible, that's who. The bible also
says bats are birds, and the sun revolves around the earth.


You've gotta have a better argument than that.

Great irony - apparently unintended.

Of course. I am talking about "carrying on" only in the non-intimate

Where is the distinction,

Aw, c'mon now, you know the difference between hets and homos.

In an earlier post you said that that type of behavior (holding hands,
kissing etc.) should be reserved where it is appropriate. Clearly it
is appropriate in parks if others are allowed to do it.


where does one draw the line? Do you think children will adopt
homosexual tendencies because they see it in a park?


Yes. Haven't you ever heard of the monkey see, monkey do theory?

No, I missed that one. Could you name any scientific studies that show
that children become homosexual because they saw two homosexuals
holding hands?


One cannot choose to be homosexual or heterosexual.


I say that one may choose to be homosexual or heterosexual.
It is a simple matter of exercising one's "free will".
I know you will disagree with me about that, but I do not
think you will disagree that a homosexual couple may choose
to carry on in a secluded area instead of in a public park
in full view of where children are playing.

In that case, according to your earlier, self-described display of
tolerance, heterosexuals will also have to seclude themselves.


One is born that way.

That is just a popular opinion, not a proven fact.

That must be why television programs such as '"Will and Grace" have

bigotry.

out of sight of normal people, then society should tolerate them.

"The monkey see, monkey do theory" has been extensively tested and
found to be quite viable. I cannot point you to any specific
scientific studies on how it works in the above case, but almost
everyone knows that the "monkey see, monkey do theory" is one of
the very best explanations for why people do stupid things. The
only other explanation I know of for why people do stupid things
is that they do stupid things because they are insane.

No, because kissing a person of the opposite sex is different
from kissing a person of the same sex. This assertion is so
obviously true that I don't even need to prove it to myself by
kissing a person of the same sex.

One is born that way.

"The monkey see, monkey do theory" is supported by mountains of

I never heard of "Will and Grace". I watch TV only very rarely.
The homosexual agenda is for bigots. Family values are for lovers.

If you think that's all it takes to "make people gay", I have to ask
myself how often you suck *****.
One doesn't choose to be gay as one chooses which car to buy. One
chooses to be gay in the same way one chooses to have blue eyes or be
left handed. Heterosexual children don't grow up and choose to be
gay. Quite the opposite. Such as Foley and lately, Haggard, are born
queer and choose, or attempt to choose, to be straight. The hypocrisy
lifetime of lies caused by society's refusal to accept that
homosexuality is as natural a throw of the genetic dice as hair color
or voice pitch is a far greater danger than seeing two people of the
same sex showing affection in public.

Look at it this way. Are you going to "turn queer" if you happen to
spot two guys kissing? Are you going to do it if you see two guys
kissing every day? Do you really think children are so weak and
impressionable that they're going to grow up gay because they know
there is such a thing? I personally know many gay parents who have
raised straight children. A guest for dinner tonight was once married
to a lesbian who was pregnant with a child of rape. She refused to
have an abortion and being a good friend of his, he decided to marry
her and help her raise the child as his own. The professional and
social benefits of appearing to be straight with a wife and child was
not lost on either of them. They never told their son where he really
came from but he knew from before puberty that his dad took men to his
bedroom sometimes and his mom took women to her bedroom sometimes.
That his parents were both gay but married to have and raise him must
surely have proven their love for their son. He is now married and a
father.
Over the years of my life I have known *many* gay parents of straight
children. A close friend of mine whom I've known for years has kept
separate bedrooms from her husband almost since their son was born.
The boy is a healthy young man with healthy heterosexual appetites
despite having a queer for a father and a ***** for a mom. They are
keeping their premarital agreement to divorce and divide their assets
as soon as he has moved away from home. He started college this year.
Another old friend married and raised three children. When the
youngest entered college, he and his wife came out to them about their
dad's sexuality which he was no longer able to deny by his mid
thirties. (He once told me he thought marriage and children would
'cure' him.) An amicable divorce followed and over the years he has
acquired 4 grandchildren.
Sexual orientation is not taught, it is innate. Environment can only
teach children how to deal with the sexual feelings they have as they
enter adulthood.
My parents were both straight. I was raised in a fundamental
Christian church. From the time I was eight I was fascinated by what
other males looked like naked. By the time I was twelve I knew other
boys weren't like me and I first heard the word "queer" in correct
context but with no idea of what it meant until I asked my terrified
father.
I learned some years ago that before I even entered kindergarten that
my mother had told my father that he needed to spend more time with me
because she feared I was too "gentle and nice" for such an active boy.
Mothers have gaydar too.
Had both my parents been able to be open with me on the subject, I
might not have been such a ***** in my youth and might even have been
able to find happiness and stability with a life mate instead of empty
thrills with the trick of the day as I did. The public sexual
activities you rail against might not even be occurring if gay teens
were given the same kind of advice and guidance in their romantic
relationships that straight kids get. We wouldn't have to live lies
or fear being found out for fear of losing jobs, promotions or rights.
Their have been times when cancer patients and diabetics were
considered unclean and were to be avoided. When there was social
stigma attached to having hair of a certain color or an unusual shape
to the features. There have even been evil days when left handed
people were considered defective or possessed. As recently as the
20th century punishment was used to try to force left handed children
to use their "right" hand.
The very insistence by homophobes such as yourself that homosexuals
should all be shut away from society and prevented from sharing in the
same joys and fulfillments straights do is what drives gays to the
very promiscuity and sexual rebellion you detest. Attitudes such as
yours would sentence to ostracism and loneliness the millions who are
currently living the lie of being straight. And raising many
children.
If Reverend Haggard had been your son or brother or father, would you
still hate and revile him?

Well, since you are obviously not rational or positive, then you are in
grave danger of becoming a homosexual the next time you see two men
holding hands.
