Homosexuality is an identity that only became accepted a short time ago. Experimenting doesn't make you a homosexual, liking it doesn't make you a homosexual since it's an identity that you create.

It's fair to say that in the "olden" days,homosexuality was well,not acceptable among family. It's also fair to say that since the beginning of the new millennium that homosexuality has somewhat skyrocketed among teens. Now let's all admit that at one point in time we all went through a phase of some sort. Weather it be, being goth or something of that nature, then we sort of grew out of it.

Nowadays kids think that homosexuality is...cool! Let's look at one video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJGuMEZhxgY. Since when did homothug among children become...cool?

Even teachers are against it.

But I know many of us have different opinions so please:
No trolling
Flaming
Slurs against gays


its interesting that in a post entitled "Homosexuality a trend?" you never actually make any points about why you think homosexuality qualifies as a trend.

i mean, i guess you have some anecdote from some guy who posted on some forum somewhere, but i don't think that really counts as compelling evidence for your claim.

"Trend" is a word that shouldn't be used to describe this phenomenon. "Trend" implies that it's a fake, or that they aren't sincere.

No, what's changed is that it's okay to come out as what these people are, they don't have to hide it, and it may be that someone who hadn't recognized how they feel now knows what to call themselves or who they are. That doesn't make it any less sincere.

What the bloody hell is all this blabbering about "identities"? I really don't understand what this even means when all these multi gendered or whatever people throw it around. Are they bipolar or something?

You think pride parades are there to make people feel superior?

Without a doubt. I see no straight pride parades, yet I see all these gay pride and all these other pride parades. Why do you need a "pride" parade other than to make yourself feel special?

So, a man can have bum sex with twenty guys, be disgusted by women, and yet still not be gay if he just doesn't say he's gay? Neat!

Pride parade exists to show people that we are not ashamed of the fact that we have a different gender/sexuality from the norm. It has nothing to do with superiority, and everything to do with fighting the shame people have heaped on us due to our sexuality/gender.

And I suppose you complain about a lack of white pride, too, eh? Clearly, black pride only exists to promote black superiority.
