Gay Weddings Legalized in....wait, Vietnam?

Because they have specific definitions.

Now, I am saying they are the same thing because I do not know much about knives other than they are things to cut. I am not a connoiseur of knives, but with enough studies I perhaps would get to see the difference. It doesn't mean that they don't have a specific definition.

What i am saying that in the end when everything is said and done, they are still the same. What difference that exists is for the sake of differentiation, nothing more, nothing less.

Nice way to dodge the bullet.

Is not attracted to any sex, and neither are over 99% of her sisters. And yet her species is doing just fine.

Because of how everything is structured. And that doesn't mean that ants go on displaying homosexual behaviour. Once again, you are just pointing out that asexuality has benefits, not homosexuality.

Your argument was that homosexuality is bad because it is non-reproductive. These ants are non-reproductive, and they're thriving. That means that being non-reproductive isn't necessarily bad, which means that your reason for supposing that homosexuality is wrong is in error.

I don't know how to spell that out more clearly.

[Furious Grandmothers]

Here.

Like i said, you can replace it with asexuality and nothing would change. Heterosexuality and asexuality are what i see to be the 2 sides of the coin. The rest being disorders.

Heterosexuality and asexuality are the same side of what coin? Who says so, with the studies and evidence to back it up?

Source?

The reasoning for homosexuality to be beneficial can be applied to asexuality. Asking for a source to that is like asking for a source to the existence of the earth.

Any source that i can provide is going to be old, from the "good old times". I don't expect you to hold it credible now.

Try me.

Yes, wikipedia. I am not going to bother with much atm.

You are using paraphilia to explain homophilia?

Fucking seriously?

[Sun Wukong]

It's not a semantics argument, the words actually mean different things.

This is why the distinction between STD and STI is an important one. You can have an STI, and be contagious, and be entirely free of disease. And a lot of people are, and that's how a lot of these things get spread.

And you have a disease then. That is my point. It is just a sub classification. The end result is the same. It is just for the sake of differentiation.

No it isn't. You can have HPV and be entirely asymptomatic forever. You have no disease.

You do have an infection though, and it can be spread.

This isn't up for debate, I'm right. Talk to any doctor.

[Rapidblaze]

perhaps, but my question still stands, referring 'if they would like to'

At the risk... no make it, even though it would make me sound cold hearted, yes. Same reason why you'd try to help the mentally ill.

interesting, but in my opinion, i wouldnt compare (some) mentally ill people to a homosexual because as you implied, they aren't destructive or pose a risk to others.

Computer logic?

Okay hotshot, let's play your game at computer logic

Do you know that there are plenty more switches in a computer, and that a certain combination of switches make certain behaviors?

Hey! I know, let's go into a bit of BOOLEAN math

Just because x OR y does exist doesn't mean x AND y cannot exist in nature.

Sorry the doctors disagree. Also like i said considering you can't even grasp what a disease is, i don't see any point arguing with you.

That's not a strawman. It doesn't matter if they're homosexuals, because they are what your condemnation of homosexuality is based upon.

Forgive me for not clarifying. I want a source proving homosexuality, bisexuality and the sort being "disorders".

Try me.

I took pathophysiology classes back in college, and I also kept the textbook (hell yes I'm going to keep my textbooks)

The textbook says the same thing about diseases and infections.

Doesn't contradict my point.

And everything else is made up of those 2 switches. Try again.

That's not a strawman. It doesn't matter if they're homosexuals, because they are what your condemnation of homosexuality is based upon.

It matters because we are not arguing against asexuality, but homosexuality. Hence strawman.

Read your own source, genius!

A 2012 literature study by James Cantor, clinical psychologist, comparing homosexuality with paraphilias found that homosexuality was sufficiently dissimilar from the paraphilias as to be considered an unrelated construct.

Give me one source that claims that infections aren't diseases and i will give you one stupid person.

BASIC SWITCHES are made out of 1 and 0

Complex gates have many more switches that determine a specific output.

You obviously also fail at engineering.

Because not so much political correctness or any reason to be afraid of hate from the society. And how about people had a backbone back then, which most lack now.
