You can't even decide what is causing it. Is it a choice or is it something we are born with? If its genetic, then guess what, it's not a choice.

My point is since DNA is nowadays relatively important to how we think, why do you think you should be born with a set sexuality that you have no control over?


Because it's necessary for a species to grow. I don't know what it would happen, I'm not an anthropologist. I do know that it's genetic, and saying it makes no sense does not make it any more or less true.

Here's my story:

I was born straight albeit that I didn't follow "gender expectations". Obviously, as a straight man, I am head over heels with attractive women. I know that guys and girls can also be born to like the same sex. As a rule of thumb, their sexual preferences are of no particular importance to me (I wouldn't want someone to criticize me for being straight, that's my life and you have no right to dictate it! It is also against my morals to look the other way when a fellow human is being bullied for something they could NOT control. Honestly, if we all looked away, this world would be a really, really effed up place :(

And as for your second point; we punish serial killers, don't we? That's who they are (granted I understand the point that they are causing actual harm to society, but you did ask the question).


You sicken me. Homosexuality is NOT like being a serial killer. Being homosexual is perfectly normal, trust me.

It was a comparison to prove a point...not to insinuate they were alike. But...considering my standing already, I don't suppose it will do any less damage anyway.

Irrelevant. We don't live in the 16th century anymore, and that something was common in the past doesn't make it valid.

Valcouria wrote:Nonsense...homosexuality IS a trend...just like in the next decade or two, polygamy, incest, zoophilia, and pederasty will all be trends as well, since eventually these deviants will come out of hiding and press their claims to be able to marry. And all of these will be trends as well, since all of a sudden everyone will, for some odd reason, accept them all as normal individuals, when they clearly are not.

Also, regarding consent laws...as most should be aware, laws like that are subject to change...who knows, maybe tomorrow the law of consent will drop to 10 because enough people want it to be there; when everything is subjective, then everything can happen.

Your entire post is not only one giant fallacious falsehood...it's also utterly irrelevant. You have not proven homosexuality to be a trend. You just farted the typical 'slippery slope' bullshit on our faces and pretended it was some sort of 'argument'.

Yes, it is generally a good thing, aside from the attacks on free speech. That doesn't mean it's not a trend/bandwagon though. Some people don't really pay attention to it and just support because their favourite celebrities say so.
