Homosexuality a trend?

[Mavorpen]

How can something that evolution produced not be natural?

Evolution produced two opposite sexes for the purpose of procreation, and to ensure the surival of a species.

Homosexuality helps ensure the survival of the species and assists with procreation.

Glad you agree that homosexuality is natural.

[Transnapastain]

He just seriously claimed that adoption didn't exist thousands of years ago.

Anything he says shouldn't be taken seriously.

Rome invented marriage and monogamous relationships then. It's settled.

Yeah. linking to picture that say what you want to say, as opposed to actually saying it? Still flaming. Still *** warned *** for it.

Marriage is a human right?
Should we legalize polygamy, child marriage, and marriage between siblings as well? I mean both parties are consenting.

Polygamy? A lot of homophobic countries are way ahead of you there, but sure? Why not? I'd love to have a romantic and totally egalitarian harem.
Child marriage? A lot of homophobic countries have beaten you to the punch there, but since children can't really consent to any legal contract...no.
Siblings? Sure. Not my cup of tea, but the occasional twincest is not too bad.

Agreed "in genre/gender, degree and number".

1. Animals can be homosexual. So obviously evolution intended that to be.
2. Still waiting on that source about homosexuality being a virus, otherwise, you're a blatant bullshitter.

"I can't read my own nested quote that states that "the argument is that it's a slippery slope""

So you DON'T have evidence 10 year olds can consent?

I had to do it.

He say 10 YO's should consent if they're mature enough.

Of course, that's based on the idea that consent is based on "maturity," which is wrong and idiotic.

[Pacifornia]

If a relationship does not consist of a heterosexual man, and women capable of producing children it is not normal . Almost every basic human behavior is exihibted in inferior lifeforms such as dogs or monkeys . Homosexualism is not one of those behaviors. Homosexual relationships are not dictated by love, but indeed by a complex microorganism, or a gene more complex we can never begin to comprehend its abilities. It induces a form of sterilization by inhibiting the host from mating with a member of the opposite sex. Sexual organs where built for the sole purpose of procreation. So only a disease, or a genetic disorder can cause our built in attraction for the opposite sex to stop working.

That little tidbit sounds like a looney conspiracy. Where's a tinfoil hat when you need one?

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

Can we all calm down a little? Polite language and all that. The discussion about the potential future ability of people to change their sexual orientation and so create a real trend was getting quite interesting. Not to mention interesting stuff about Romans inventing adoption and doing away with polygamy - another historic shift in thinking.

(And no, I'm not a mod in disguise).

He also said Adults can marry kids if both parties consent.
How fun.

Alright then.

To start the discussion then:
Why do you believe this will be a trend in the future, then?

[Siaos]

I'm not sure if that is possible. I suppose you could say opening up about your previously existing homosexuality is becoming a trend, if that makes any sense.

[Yumyumsuppertime]

This is a terrible thread, with terrible arguments being made.

No, homosexuality is not a trend. It's always existed. What is trending is increased acceptance of homosexuality, meaning that more LGBT people are willing to come out of the closet.

And, no, 10 year old children cannot give informed consent. Are you fucking kidding me? Read up on brain function, child development, child psychology...hell, just SPEND SOME TIME AROUND CHILDREN, and you'll see that.

It's science fiction, is what it is. If you want to have a talk on people changing their sexual orientation and turning it into a trend, make it a roleplay in the appropriate section.

Why do you believe this will be a trend in the future, then?

Like the OP says, Homosexuality is increasingly popular in the west; being able to fall in love with anybody will become an evolutionary advantage as opposed to a disadvantage, besides being more sought after; thus I confidently expect all sexual orientation categories to disintegrate, and for people to start to choose pretty much at will, and we'll all end up being ambisexual; not necessarily bisexual, but rather, able to change round our viewpoint at will.

That was pretty much the point of the Brazilian and Chilean pomosexual emos.

Being able to fly would have also been a great evolutionary advantage, but it didn't happen. It's unlikely that we're going to suddenly be able to switch back and forth, as pleasant as the concept is.

That might happen at a larger scale, with everybody out of the closet, but certainly not to the entire race.
Besides, that still doesn't change the fact that people can't change their orientation. They can change their actions, but not their orientation.

[Agymnum]

Homosexuality is a trend in the same way heterosexuality is a trend, asexuality is a trend, pansexuality is a trend, bisexuality is a trend, etc.

Put simply, it isn't.

Sexuality isn't static, it is a dynamic process, and whether gay and gay-loving straight people like it or not there are no definite truths for everybody.
