Your View of Homosexuality?

[Des-Bal]

I am gay.



I did not choose to be gay. After all, why would I choose to live a life of secrecy, frequent hatred from religious institutions, and the threat of physical violence posed to me as a result of my sexuality? It all lies in genetic coding, people.



But I suppose that if you have Jesus, or any other false deity, you have no use for something as trivial as logic, common sense, and science, now do you?

I'd like to see evidence of that.

You can't prove morality, its a matter of opinion.

Even if there wrong.

Then How could you say that it was wrong for Hitler to kill the Jews, because it was his opinion. Since when do you have the authority to judge the opinion of Hitler?

1. Nobody is immune to judging. Nobody's opinion is immune to judging.
2. Hitler's actions were illegal, hence they were legally and not just morally wrong in our society.

I have full support for gay rights, but as a geneticist I must insist it hasn't been proven to be solely genetic.

Unlike trivial displays of affection, religious beliefs are driving forces behind a lot of politics in this day and age. Personally, I think this is a good thing, since it gives our leaders a moral compass on deciding issues.

My point was that just because a person believes something's yucky doesn't mean it's wrong. Seriously, that's like, third-grader logic.

I believe it's wrong for reasons other than that...which I've already articulated in other forums. But, I'll rattle them off again for ease-of-access.
-Religiously, I feel that marriage has been condoned by God to be for the purpose of properly blessing the love between one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others.
-Biologically, I feel that gays are genetic defects who, rather than fight to overcome them and live the life they are supposed to, instead choose to relapse into the unnatural behavior; on a side note, they cannot naturally reproduce with other members of the same sex.

Godwin's Law Reigns Supreme!

Because contrary to same-sex relationships, that harm no-one; Hitler's decision was murder an entire race of people, which is fucking insane and against all societal rules of "don't kill".

Fuck, all religions in the world, all modern societies have operated on the principle of "you shall not kill another human being", and Hitler decided to kill them all. So yes, there is a fucking imperative on that case: not to kill.

Homosexual marriage has no defined universal across all cultures, some accept it some don't. Thus this is more relative than killing an entire race of people.

Actually, for this year's Academic Decathlon state speech, I did an in depth study of genetics and how it affects each individual; however, I am too lazy to post it tonight (have not slept in a while), so I will post my speech tomorrow. Sound good?

LGBT is bad, but that does not mean that LGBT people are bad. I have some friends who are gay (an inevitability at a performing arts school).

I'm intrigued to hear why LGBT is bad.

Religious institutions do not hate you. Jesus' greatest commandment was to love his children.
Some people who are unable to follow Jesus and his ideals still use the church though, they are wrong.

Your reasoning is subjective/nonsecular and objectively wrong/subjective/irrelevant.

1) Which is all well and good and has nothing to do with government recognition of the rights and privileges granted by the term 'marriage' occuring between two people.

2) Do you hold the same opinion of mentally retarded and those with other genetic birth defects? Those wascally type-1 diabetics clearly aren't fighting enough to overcome their defect and are just wallowing in their pit of insulin injection.

2. Hitler's actions were illegal, hence they were legally and not just morally wrong in our society.

Well, they were not technically illegal since he changed the constitution and the will of the people to do what he wanted done.

And as a side note, I did some research on this holocaust thing. Hitler gave the order, but Himmler had the fucking stupid idea to come up with it. I may be wrong or I may have read a book that is wrong though.

I'm not really interested in your speech I'd like to see your data, if you've conclusively discovered the "gay gene" I'm sure you've been published in at least one journal I have access to so you can just tell me the name of the study.

Of course it has not been proven by solely genetics. There are inumerable factors that affect homosexuality. As I previously stated, I will post my speech (that won 6th place out of 300 other people) when I have access.

[Condunum]

That is a completely understandable stance to have.

How do you oppose your daughter marrying a black guy on the basis that he's black but still have no problems with black guys? I don't find that understandable at all.

Doublethink is a powerful thing.

1. Nobody is immune to judging. Nobody's opinion is immune to judging.

Not to mention harmful to society, as mass murder tends to have a negative impact on... Well, almost everything.

Subjective...possibly. Non-secular? Definitely.

The rest are your opinions, and you are entitled to them in the same way I am to mine.
