They don't need nor want your pity. They don't want you to enforce your baseless rules on to them. There is nothing to cure. Gayness is not a disease.


I respectfully disagree.

Mutations doesn't contradict the fact that only the strong survive. You need to be able to reproduce to ensure the continuity of the species and hence heterosexual behaviour is favoured. That is a fact.

Also it can just as well be sterility or asexuality. It need not be homosexuality. So not really much of a point.

Humans are K strategists. A larger number of adults looking after a fewer number of children is favored. A non-reproducing uncle with strong family ties is a boon for you.


Doesn't mean that the uncle need be gay. False logic.

Favored just means it is more likely to appear, it doesn't mean it has, by law, to appear in a population.

Again, you can't cure a natural process.


Diseases are natural processes...

No, but a gay uncle obviously would qualify. Natural selection doesn't care how a result is achieved, so long as it is. Misunderstanding my argument does not serve as a rebuttal.

That's the funny thing about biology, random shit happens and we have one or multiple variables. Homosexuality has existed since forever because it is advantageous to the population group of humans. Christianity on the other hand has placed a serious stigma on homosexuality, and as such we can conclude Christianity is unnatural.


And just because cancer has existed naturally for a long time doesn't mean that we don't try to cure it.

You're shifting the goalposts. It doesn't matter, so long as you contend homosexuality is disfavored because homosexuals do not reproduce (which is false, by the way.)

Diseases are natural processes...


...Which are created by organisms from the outside in the majority of cases, trying to compete for dominance. Except for autoimmunological diseases like Lupus, but then those diseases are results of a malfunction of the immune system acting as if the body was a foreign object and trying to get rid of it.

In that case, are humans a disease because they have competed against all other animals and we have killed plenty of species?

You still haven't sourced that homosexuality is a disease.

And you completely misunderstood Sun's argument. Having non-reproductive members, like homosexual members of a species, is not always a bad thing.

Not really. Most are just afraid of the backlash and political correctness.
So literally every mental health reputable mental health official in the world is afraid of political backlash and you are clearly this enlightened figure that knows better than them. You are calling homosexuality a mental disorder, yet you must be delusional yourself to make such a claim.

That's the funny thing about biology, random shit happens and we have one or multiple variables. Homosexuality has existed since forever because it is advantageous to the population group of humans. Christianity on the other hand has placed a serious stigma on homosexuality, and as such we can conclude Christianity is unnatural.


And just because cancer has existed naturally for a long time doesn't mean that we don't try to cure it.

As for religions, i don't really care.


Do you even know the physiopathology of cancer?

In that case, are humans a disease because they have competed against all other animals and we have killed plenty of species?


So are you trying to say that if you got any disease you wouldn't try to cure it ? or that you wouldn't want a cure regardless of you have that disease or not ?

Failed in what ways?

Care to elaborate on your rebuttal?

He failed because you purposefully misinterpreted. Regardless, your argument that homosexuals are suffering from something malignant, because they don't reproduce is wrong because reproduction is not necessary for species survival.

Wut?

I would try to cure it because it is an outside organism that causes a threat to my own life if I do not, Lupus is a genetic disease that causes my body to try to kill itself with its own immune system (which to be honest, the immune system is almost autonomous).

Homosexuality does not have that particular genetic trait, therefore it isn't a disease but more of a normal phenomenon that happens in nature. It doesn't compete with heterosexuality and is, in fact, complimentary to it.
