Deb:For now, here is the proof we've all been waiting for that homosexuality IS natural.
Alexface.:That has to be my favourite news story in quite a while. :') That's great. That should change the minds of at least a few people who seem to express that homosexuality is unnatural.
Since when does the fact that something comes naturally mean that its ok?
Hate, lust, greed, anger, revenge, selfishness, jealousy, etc...all of those things come natural to us as human beings. No one has to teach us to do those things or act in those ways, we just do it, it comes naturally. Now just because those types of things come naturally to us does not make them ok. |

It was never illegal to be a lesbian, because Queen Victoria -who enforced the law- never believed women were disgusting enough to do something like that. |

Posts: 44 | July 10th, 2009 at 07:00am In my opinion, guys and girls are the same (apart from their bodies, obviously)
So there should not really be a difference in a relationship between people with different sexes and people with the same sex.
In my opinion, If you're against it, fine, but don't punish those who are.
This applies to a lot of things, such as religion and abortion, But since this is the 'Homosexual Rights' threat, I'll just stick to that.
What annoys me most is that homosexuals/Bisexuals can not help their sexuality, yet people are still against them. Would said people prefere them to live a lie?
It's moreso the older generations who are against homosexuality. I have a gay uncle, and he feels ashamed because his father (My grandfather) is sort-of against homosexuality and same-sex marriages.
His partner of more than 10 years has not been invited to any family gatherings, whereas everyone else's partners had been invited. come to think of it, I have never met his partner. I don't think anyone in my family has, for my grandad's sake. The older generation- yes, it may seem harsh- will not be here for much longer, so in a few years time homosexuals will have more rights.Well, that's what i think anyway.
Sorry for lack of good vocabularry/ Grammar, but I'm extremely tired and I'm at school ^.^ |

There are quite of lot of differences between women and men, our brains function differently.
I think the younger generation is always more liberal than the previous. Very slowly attitudes are starting to shift, children are being raised to be accepting instead of intolerant, it will take a while, but we'll get there.

Not as long as logic is involved, no But arguments for something shouldn't need logic applied to them, if you get my drift. If you're simply saying "love is love", you're basically saying that everybody has the right to act on any form of love, because it's love. And that, I think, is wrong because paedophilia is a kind of love, incest, bestiality etc., and that would imply that they're perfectly okay because it's love.
I hope what I'm saying makes sense. xD |

There is virtually no comparison between what two consenting adults choose to do with one another (provided no one breaks the law) and sexual aberrations. I think you'll find that sexually aberrated people never use the word "love" to describe their practices. |

I'm saying that "love is love" is a cop-out argument because it implies that even the dangerous and disgusting types of love are excuseable.
Besides, look at the first post of this discussion. |

Posts: 5099 | July 10th, 2009 at 10:36am Alexface.: Yes, I know that the mods don't like the "love is love" argument, however, I disagree with their hypothetical line of thinking. You're never going to hear about a necrophiliac having professed their undying devotion to a corpse, nor have anyone tell you that they're in love with a cat. I personally find it extremely insulting to the gay community that such comparisons get made. |

Posts: 3489 | July 10th, 2009 at 10:45am I'm not comparing the two, though. I'm bisexual and I get offended if anyone says that my sexuality is "just as disgusting" or "just as bad" as bestiality and incest. But I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that, in my opinion, "love is love" is by no means a good enough argument for gay rights, despite its well-meaningness. It doesn't even seem to mean anything. You could just as easily say "hate is hate" or "pineapples are pineapples". I just think it's a bit of an overused phrase that doesn't really constitute a good argument. |

Fair enough, but, especially seeing as how you've been victimized by said argument, surely you can understand why I am reluctant to help that line of thinking along. |

So there should not really be a difference in a relationship between people with different sexes and people with the same sex.
As Faraday said, there is no doubt that men and woman are different more then just anatomically. Our minds work in different ways, our reactions to situations are usually very different, and the way that we communicate is different. There is more to being a man or a woman then just being born with certain body parts.
MyTwistedShell:What annoys me most is that homosexuals/Bisexuals can not help their sexuality, yet people are still against them. Would said people prefere them to live a lie?
There is no scientific proof to the idea that people are born homosexual/bisexual/transgendered etc. |
