Mod-Sanctioned LGBT Rights & Issues Thread

[Fascist Russian Empire]

It isn't a lifestyle, sorry.

Then what is it?

A sexual orientation. Getting boners from guys and not girls. Wanting to fuck a guy's ass and not a girl's.

[Thori]

Personally, I disagree with Homosexuality at the very core of the lifestyle.
Am I a hateful bigot? I don't think holding an opinion against a perverse lifestyle is hateful. But then again, I've been proven wrong before.

Why you hatin on another human man?

Not hating. I simply disagree.

[Wisconsin9]

Yes. There's absolutely no rational reason to keep it illegal.

[Tatooene]

Why do we have another thread about this?
Pretty much all left wingers say yes.
The majority of right wingers say no.
The arguments of both sides have been used so many times I could quote them in my sleep.
There is nothing to discuss here that hasn't been said a thousand times.

Not hating. I simply disagree.

Calling someone "perverse" is more than simple disagreement.

[Fascist Russian Empire]

But Homosexuals don't spread their genes naturally.

Ha ha, ha, ha. Good one. Sperm banks totally don't exist. Oh, wait, they do, and they are perfectly natural a way to procreate.

Not hating. I simply disagree.

Then what is your secular valid reason for not wanting it legalized.

[Blasveck]

It isn't a lifestyle, sorry.

Then what is it?

A sexual orientation.

No, we don't know the exact causes, but we do know it isn't a choice.

Homosexuality is as much of a lifestyle as heterosexuality. Which is to say, it isn't a lifestyle.

[Shaggai]

Not sure, still debating with myself whether it should be legal.

Yes. It should. Hey, why not? At least in the US.

A sexual orientation. Getting boners from guys and not girls. Wanting to fuck a guy's ass and not a girl's.

That's...a lifestyle. Their "sexual orientation" and sexual acts are a part of the particular way in which they live. Lifestyle.

Homosexuality is frowned upon in the bible, but people should be able to make their own decisions.

No it ain't. The Torah is homophobic, but the Torah is a Jewish book, and only applies to Jews. For a Christian to follow Jewish scriptures would be an act of heresy.

It's in the bible, it's just in the old testament. And I'm pretty sure it says some about it in the new testament too.

It's a genetic trait.

[Agritum]

What is there to doubt?

You just answered yourself, man.

Fine. People live the oh so evil lifestyle of fucking men. Big whoop. Heterosexuality is a lifestyle under that definition, and nobody complains about it. I fail to see the big deal.

Is heterosexuality a lifestyle too?

Yep

No, there is no explicit condemnation of homosexuality found anywhere within the Bible.

In the US we have a secular government meaning that your book written by a man in the clouds is an invalid excuse for not liking something, deal with it.

Why is it a bad way to live?

No, sexual orientation is about who you are attracted to. That isn't a lifestyle, but an inherent part of who you are.

Your opinion is perverse.

And the Old Testament's law was fulfilled with the coming of the Messiah and was, thus, invalidated and no longer has any religious meaning to anyone who isn't a follower of Judaism.

[Oil exporting People]

But in the US religion can't get involved with the state so the Bible is not a valid excuse for being hateful.

Is it not a valid source for individuals to form their own opinions?

It's a genetic trait.

Prove it.

[Tatooene]

It's a genetic trait.

You're kind of arguing the same point. It is a trait (Sexual orientation) that affects the way a person lives. You're both right, just coming from different sides.

Man, I 'm an agnostic myself, but please, don't be so demeaning to Christians which actually have a respectful, live and let live attitude towards homosexuals. You just make our side look bad and fuel the "secularists are anti-Christian!" drivel spouted by fundies.
