I was invited to engage in discussion by Rick.
1. I agree with the Pentagon and the APA before they were pressured politcally to change their position on homosexuality.
2. Homosexuality is a choice. You can not point to any piece of medical or scientific evidence that proves the theory of homosexuality being inborn. There is no "gay" gene
3. There are recovering homosexuals out there that have turned away from their previous choice.
4. As I stated on a previous thread, the gay rights movement is also helping along the cause of homosexual groups such as NAMBLA to further their agenda. I find homosexuality and pedophilia both to be abnormal, deviant sexual behaviors.
5. I agree with previous people on this thread that no honest discourse can be between the two sides on this issue because in this PC world if you speak out against homosexuality you are immediately labeled a homophobe, bigot, clansman, part of sick groups like godhatesfags.com as I was called in another thread. I will probably getted banned for even posting on this thread even at Rick's request.
6. I believe that the gay agenda has been purposely forwarded by the concept of incrementalism.
As in other societied, i believe that all sexual deviancy, hetero, homosexual and otherwise will eventually lead to the decay of our culture.
I think I am a fitting person to respond to you because I am very religious, overly traditional, etc. I even agree with part of your last statement that sexual deviancy will lead (let's be honest, it's happening now) to the decay of our culture. However, I do not think that homosexuality is deviant sexual behavior.
Many homosexuals are stereotyped as promiscuous on television, etc. and I think many people believe that. They see the clubbing lifestyle and think most homosexuals are like that, when I don't think they are. I knew a gay couple who was monogamous for 20 years until the death of one of them. They were in love, not deviants.
Sexual deviants are the 22 year old "man" that is fathering a child with my 16 year old student. They are the child abusers, molestors, the parents who allow their children to be exposed to inappropriate things, not just on tv but in real life, and those who use sex to hurt others instead of expressing love.
Sexual deviants who need treatment are those who have been abused and are acting out in response, those girls (this breaks my heart as I see it every day) who are extremely promiscuous because they think that's all they can be good at or because they're seeking love/attention. They've seen their mothers have five kids with five different men and they step into that role, too. I've seen too many tears from teen moms or teens with STD's. They need to be taught they're worth more than that.
They guy who lies to a girl to get her in bed and then calls her names the next week in school- he's a deviant- not the gay student who was drying her tears.
Sexual deviants can be homosexual or heterosexual, but sexual expression isn't deviant just because of the gender of the partners. To me it all comes down to the people involved and whether they're giving themselves to another or taking something away, whether they're expressing love or trying to hurt someone.
This world needs love so badly, how can we possibly put down anyone who's in love? It makes me so happy to see a couple together, really being there for each other, I don't care about their demographics.
