Homosexuality *isn't* a preference

Cookson · #1 January 9th, 2007, 08:47 PM

While I don't really care if somebody is g-a-y, I in no way ever want to talk to somebody that's g-a-y. I'm strongly against it. Alot of people say, that it is born with you.....huh?.....it's your choice. I don't see how somebody can be born g-a-y..seriously.

I'm in no shape, way, or form....g-a-y. I honestly don't see how you thought I was saying that. I wanted to clear this up though....lol

Humans are honestly on this planet for one thing....and that's to reproduce. Being ***, doesn't help with that.

Anyway, yes, what scientist are "trying" to research is stupid.

Since when has the logic of learning and trying to understand things been stupid? Not everybody has a choice about being homosexual my friend, from the what I have heard of the friends I have had, they knew they were homosexual since they were young, they were just too afraid to say anything because there are people who are rude and discriminitory about it.

I do not support the homosexual life style, but I certainly will not throw it in their face and tell them that it is terribly wrong or anything like that, it is their CHOICE.

And frankly, I don't appreciate discrimination against people either, even if it is because of their lifestyle.

It's stupid to research this, because it's all in there heads.

How do you know you like girls when you are young then? How do you know it is in their heads?

You'd have to be a friend of a homosexual person in order to understand them, they go through a lot of crap.

Again, if it is all in their minds, then how have cures for various diseases came into existance? Did the tooth fairy bring them? No. It is very well possible that there is a genetic difference that causes them to be homosexual.

And Donny, there IS no 'supporting the homosexual lifestyle'. Homosexuals aren'tt rying to pair every manw ith every other man, and the same with every woman. The only 'support' of the lifestyle is accepting them for their own preferences, and maybe trying to open a few minds about it.

I don't support it, or disapprove it....it is their choice, because they have that freedom and I do not have the right to interfere with that.

Cookson, there IS no choice. Horomones and raising determine what attracts us. Horomones are in no way in ANYONE's control. If we were all a race of sex-changing fishpeople, THEN we might be able to control our sexual orientation. We'd also be able to live udnerwater, which would be cool.
BUT, we aren't fish-people, we have no control over our horomones, and if your horomones point you in the direction of the same gender, whacha gonna do?

Oh, and my girlfriend happens to be bisexual, and sometimes I think she leans more towards total lessie than that. She had to go through HELL to tell me, AND kept it a secret to all her friends excet me for the longest time because of this MORONIC xenophobia! Her own MOTHER threateened to DISOWN her if she brought home a girlfriend! And she BLOODY! CAN't! HElP IT! There is NOTHING you can do if you're homosexual. You just have to accept it, or live your entire life without a signifigant other. NO ONE should live like that unless it's their choice to do so. NO ONE has any right to tell them who to love.

Donny, if that's the way you think, then you're as close to supporting it as it has.

Cookson · #5 January 9th, 2007, 09:20 PM

To me, it's goofy to think it's genetic.

OUT OF RESPECT TO MY DAD....I DELETED WHAT WAS IN THIS PARAGRAPH!!

Yup.

It's been biologically proven not to be a choice. YAY SCIENCE!

Cole Deschain · #7 August 28th, 2007, 08:22 PM

And this is news?
Why on EARTH anyone would CHOOSE to be reviled, spat upon and, let us not forget, unlikely to spawn offspring, is utterly beyond me.

Hey...spawning offspring isn't all that great, any freaking idiot moronic piece of trailer trash can do that.....just look at 80% of the population, they are not that impressive.

Cole Deschain · #9 August 28th, 2007, 09:29 PM

Just saying.

What sort of MORON wuld set themselves up for needless abuse?

Gorjirus · #10 August 28th, 2007, 09:36 PM

Because maybe the set up is worth more to them than the abuse?

Zearatul · #11 August 28th, 2007, 09:43 PM

Wait-
You mean peope don't have control over what makes the blood flow down there?

That explains everything.

Cole Deschain · #12 August 28th, 2007, 09:43 PM

Ah, but when it comes to sex, you're talking about chemical reactions.

So for it to be "worth it," their body chemistry has to make it so.

Gorjirus · #13 August 28th, 2007, 09:51 PM

Yeah.

But I was talking about everything/all together.

EternalMothra · #14 August 28th, 2007, 10:06 PM

Yeah...it is definately not something that is able to be controlled.

Monsturra-Jake · #15 August 28th, 2007, 10:25 PM

I knew it was something you were born with.

Good lord, people spend their time on the stupidest ****.

I'm sure if you were homosexual you would think of it differently my friend.

Raptor · #17 August 28th, 2007, 10:45 PM

Frankly, this isn't "news". Look at the date on the article, people.

ookami · #18 August 28th, 2007, 10:51 PM

Either way, the point is that it is something one is born with. I've always thought and known it to be so. But there are just some people who don't get that fact or who are just not open minded enough to accept the fact that it is in a persons genes and not done by choice.

Even if the date is a little old, some people still like to argue that it is simply a choice rather than an uncontrollable thing. Now, more people can see that it is something that is encoded within your genes and maybe... JUST MAYBE.... people who are homosexual will get some respect that is long deserved for them.

Keep the sheep out of this because we saw what happened with the original topic.

A much more serious concern involves HUMANS who will no doubt come under fire toward the end of this month. There might also be reference to a Memphis-based outfit in one of the religious discussions but that is beside the point.

Consider the so-called "research and therapy" this bunch is promoting and we should be fine.

EternalMothra · #21 October 7th, 2007, 10:42 PM

OMG...that is a crock of crap. What are they going to start doing, forcing people to take this therapy/treatment if they find one. It astounds me, and sickens me beyond all reason.

Kaiser Kronos · #22 October 7th, 2007, 10:45 PM

Sadly, this is what you get when you put homophobia and science together. Remember, EM, homosexuality used to be a mental illness. Some people still don't get that that's changed. >.<

Yeah I know. Well, some people might be interested if they want to know why they way they are I guess. But still, it seems really idiotic to me.
