Homosexuality a trend?

[Genivaria]

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.

A lesbian twincest sandwich with me in the middle would be awesome. :3

Down girl.

Children cannot consent. However, if all adult parties consent, then why not?

Don't you just love when their silly slippery slope arguments flop?

It brings me laughter

Do you understand the concept of consent?
Yes or no.

I do know what consent is.

At almost any age, you can be tried as an adult for serious crimes. Are children really not able to consent?

Children don't know what they're getting into if they married people. they're brains are still developing and probably will make a wrong choice. But I'm pretty sure a kid understands that stealing or killing is breaking the law.

[Threlizdun]

The UN's opinion is pretty moot here.

Considering that essentially every nation in the world is a UN member and has agreed to adhere to its rulings when they became members, it really isn't.

They didn't invent or define marriage.

Sure, but marriage has included same-sex marriage for thousands of years now. Either way you have no case.

Do you support marriage between multiple individuals, adults and children, and marriage between brothers and sisters? Because those can all be seen as "legitimate marriage" and have been practiced multiple times at some time or another in history.

We have come to accept that marriage should only be between those capable of giving consent, thus we cannot tolerate child marriages. Marriages between multiple individuals or family members are fine as long as everyone consents.

First of all. Don't cut off my statements, especially in ways that make it look as though I was saying something else.

Second of all. Agreed, it is threadjacking. I'm sorry. I just have to be a nag about clarifying things sometimes.

Thank you.

I will say this though: planned economy=/=left wing.

It does according to some metrics however. Specifically the one's that were being referred to, and such was why I felt compelled to clarify how both sides were arguing over something that at it's core is due to using two vastly different models with similar terminology.

Dear Celestia I hate post-structuralism.


Anyways. Homosexuality = Not a Trend.
Girls kissing each other at parties and pretending to be lesbians to attract male attention = Trend.

The former is perfectly alright, the latter is mildly revolting.

No, they aren't, just as other species cannot consent.

Wrong quote? Or just poor english. I never mentioned anything about animals, we don't understand their "language" enough to communicate.

But a 10 or 11 year old can communicate perfectly fine.

I always find the slippery slope to bestiality argument hilarious because it makes me think that Republicans secretly want to have sex with their dogs.

No, it only applies so if it's used in a manner to promote social or economic equality. Planned economies to promote inequality aren't leftist by any means. But I digress.

Give the latter to Olthar.

Humans are animals.

Quit sucking at your argument and actually say something smart, Please.

Well, she's always right, apparently, so it's no surprise she does.

That isn't the only reason why they cannot consent.

"Communication" isn't consent.

Don't worry Olthar, I'll support you in your quest for the great twincest sandwich as long as you share

Also, can I make it a foursome?

Get in line. Liriena and I already are waiting.

The real question we should be discussing is whether the OP means a trend as in a data trend plotted against time, or a hip, jive, edgy trend. And whether he means cases of out-of-the-closet homosexuality, or just general homosexuality.

[Gideus]

Nope. That's like saying being Jewish is a trend.

For fuck's sake, it's not like we're trying to convert people (Jews). Gay/lesbian/transgender/any other identification people aren't either. It's that simple.

They're not Mormons. They don't go door to door asking if you've heard the word of Liberace.

EDIT: The only trend would be a trend of acceptance; hopefully one that never goes away.

I vote for hip and edgy, and it sounded like he meant homosexuality in general to me.
