That's not it.. at all. That sounds horribly inhumane and sounds like it leads to fun stuff like repeatedly electrocuting somebody until they hate themselves for being gay.

Can't treat humans with compassion and understanding if you're telling them they've got a disorder and you want nothing to do with them.

Incioni wrote:Like "people with autism", we do not need to punish these people or send them to camps, we just need to understand how they got their condition, try to prevent it, and try to deal with people who have this condition now in a way that is respectful to them but that also protects the rest of society from their behavior disorders.


1. Being gay isn't a "condition"
2. Society doesn't need to be protected because it's not a disorder and homosexuality is not contagious. Though wouldn't that be nice? I'd have a boyfriend by now if more people were gay.

Can you expand on what you believe "respectfully" means? Please?

And how is gay adoption a 'huge risk of sexual abuse of minors'? I honestly fail to see your point or any evidence to back that up.

Homosexuality is not a sexual disorder
try to reduce fetal exposure to synthetic estrogen, and treat them as genuine human beings who deserve compassion and understanding, and who should be integrated into society as much as possible.

Well this is not awful.

Like "people with autism", we do not need to punish these people or send them to camps, we just need to understand how they got their condition, try to prevent it, and try to deal with people who have this condition now in a way that is respectful to them but that also protects the rest of society from their behavior disorders.

Homosexuality is not a condition that needs to be dealt with or prevented.

conclusion, "gay adoption" is a huge risk of sexual abuse of minors

No it´s not that is utter bullshit

and if I see another person banned or deleted for respectfully expressing a personal opinion, I will share your javascript vulnerability with every racist troll on 4chan, 8chan and the onionchans.

I'll be watching.


Dude you can express your onpion without getting banned as long as you follow site rules. And your threats are not scary at all.

1. Not in the USA. The SCOTUS vindicated a man who was punished for refusing to participate in a homosexual wedding. People have been fined to bankruptcy and even been imprisoned for refusing to sanction or participate in- actively or passively -in the commemoration or celebration of homosexual unions. They seek submission, not tolerance.

2. The movement to remove Gender Identity Disorder from medical books also actively preys on children and tries to convince them to stop their puberty process and mutilate their bodies. This is in spite of the fact that about forty percent of people with gender dysphoria eventually "grow out of it" as their body sexually matures. Instead of restricting body mutilation to consenting adults, they are allowing parents to force it on their children and even withdraw custody if one of the parents tries to stop it.

3. A sexually abused and tormented eleven year old boy (his name is Desmond Napoles) has been forced by his parents to wear women's clothing and dance in strip joints for men. Far too many people in the LGB community praised him for comfort. Although he is the most prominent example, he is not the first to be abused this way. Good Morning America hosted his family and his parents forced him to parade himself down a runway.

4. In Texas, a six year-old boy is sexually abused in his mother's custody, forced to dress up a girl at her house while he refuses to do so at his father's house. Not only have social workers refused to investigate, some are even siding with the abusive mother.

5. Drag queen activists have openly admitted that they are "emotionally grooming" children to take up their hobby at their propaganda events.


These are just some examples. Before anyone calls me a troll, I am not insinuating that all homosexuals are pedophiles or child abusers. However, those that are, are not being held accountable for it.

You know Kannap, subtly wishing for homosexuality to be contagious isn’t exactly aiding your cause.

That said, the genetics of it are wonky AF.

That is fallacious and you know it. Nowhere on here is anyone seriously entertaining torturing innocents. Shock therapy has been proven not to work on that condition. Furthermore, it is not a sin to be attracted to the same sex. It is a sin to act on it. Homosexuals can be celibate, just like straight can be chaste or celibate.

While homosexuality is not a mental disorder in the true sense, it is a deviation from normal/neurotypical mental behavior. That is to say, it's not a normal occurence and only exists in a minority of the population. Even a definition that benign was removed after enough pressure was levied on professional medical boards by viciously anti-psychiatry protestors that had hounded them for years.

I am. For most straights, being chaste is the term for which you're looking. People masturbate, fornicate, shack up, and sleep around because they have no self-control or discipline over their bodies. They cannot contain their libido/sex drive and are unable to save themselves from marriage.

For most of these people, they don't even try to fight it.

Yes, Alan Turing was a war hero and is likely singlehandedly responsible for placing the D-Day invasion in a strategic area that we could have won against. For that, nothing but applause should be given regardless of his sex life.

However, the man committed a crime and got a just punishment. Alan Turing could have been celibate and gone down in history as the greatest computing mastermind in history, with no baggage. I do not, and should not, pity him for lacking the discipline to control his body.

Turing's punishment was not just. The government officially apologised for their treatment of him and the Queen posthumously pardoned him.

There's a difference between being attracted to the same sex and acting on that attraction to the same sex. Understand that Christians see the latter, and not the former, as a sin. When you hear people say "homosexuality is a choice", they are referring to the deed of sodomy and same-sex lifestyles, NOT being attracted to the same sex.

Lust is different from attraction. Sex is different from attraction. People who are attracted to the same sex cannot help it, as it is innate. The only thing the Church can do is help them overcome the tempation to engage in sexual acts and remain celibate. You can't "give someone gay" and you can't fix sexual orientations either way. However, you can teach discipline and self-control.

They apologized because all Turing did was have sex with another man. How is that wrong other than the fact that there was a stupid law against it?
