Homosexuality is natural...as natural as heterosexuality.A certain percentage of every given population is gay...its part of the evolutionary process...a means of population control possibly? i don't know. as a natural phenomena its amoral. but human beings don't live by basic instinct alone..they are thinking animals. they have created customs and mores to govern their growing populations. religion is one way to faciliate socialisation. in some societies homosexuality has been deemed immoral behaviour, against the laws of nature...yet in others its an encouraged practice. i really believe that both homosexuality like heterosexuality is in the genes...dominant in some.. and recessive in others..and possibly potential in many of us...society, through its perception of homosexuality may allow people the opportunity to explore their sexuality, sexual identity and preference with freedom...or restrict any exploration of the self, that falls outside its social mores. abstinence and celibacy has nothing to do with sexual preference...its a decision or choice not to engage in sexual behaviour. everybody is sexual, priests and nuns, but people choose to refrain from sex for various reasons..religious vows, fear, lack of opportunity... some even believe that it interferes with their ability to focus their brain power... a lot of people struggle with their homosexuality..they hide...deny it...they suffer in silence and ask why them..why canthey be like evryone else...its a lonely pain...who are you to judge them. posted by bhnbh |

I happen to disagree that homosexuality is natural. It is anything but. Men placing their organs into an exit route has created problems in our society. Men and women have complimentary sex organs so THIS is what nature intended. Also, if homosexuality were natural, why can't they procreate? I love how people are beginning to become brainwashed into thinking that this is normal behavior. posted by cobalt |

Quote: Yes, morality is a bias, but it is a rational one with a basis in objective truth. It is not within the realm of mere opinion. Plato went out of fashion a couple of hundred years ago. The claim that there exists some sort of 'objective truth', especially in the moral field, is more controversial than the statement that homsexuality is immoral. If you knew the first thing about meta-ethics, you would not assume the truth of moral realism in your charmingly ignorant and self-assured way. It is ironic, given your belief in objective moral truth, that you give no objective reasons for your claim that homsexuality is immoral. This illustrates the fact that, far from having any objective reasons for your moral beliefs, you form your opinions on the basis of preference and feeling. Don't say: 'Homsexuality is immoral.' Rather, say 'I don't like homosexuality.' You clearly confuse the two. Indeed, on the basis of any consequentialist ethics, particularly utilitarianism, there is absolutely no objective reason for claiming that being gay is immoral. In short, who does it harm? Do your research. Or at least think a bit. An opinion is worthless, nothing more than a prejudice, if you fail to justify it. posted by franciz |

No, I don't think there's anything at all wrong with being gay, no matter what ancient religious texts have to say on the topic. I can think of no truth more basic and self-evidant than the innateness of sexual orientation. One does not, ever, choose what gender they are physically attracted to. It is as innate a characteristic as eye color and and left-handedness. So we don't need science to test and experiment to convince us that homosexuality is not a choice. One only needs to ask, and as a gay male I'm telling you here and now that I no more chose to be attracted to men then and straight man in this thread chose to be attracted to women. Once this very basic understanding of sexual orientation is reached, all else follows. Homosexual behavior is only perversion from an exclusively heterosexual worldview, but it is as good and natural for homosexuals as heterosexual sex is for straight people. It really is that simple. Homosexuals are no less moral people than heterosexuals. Many people who don't understand the nature of sexual orientation mistake homosexuality for either lust or promiscuity, which is a misunderstanding. We gays are just as capable of love and committment as anyone else. posted by happiness86 |

Here's what's wrong with homosexuality... Penis----) {}Vagina= WORKS Penis----) (----- Penis= DOESN'T WORK! Penis----) (( Butthole= DOESN'T WORK! Vagina )) (( Vagina=DOESN'T WORK! ANAL SEX "IS" dangerous and it really doesn't make sense to stick your penis inside a toxin filled hole where poop comes out. Ok, then you say ORAL SEX is ok though! Well, let me say that oral sex is now being linked to being a higher cause of throat and mouth cancer than cigarettes! So, that's kinda out the window as well! Let's just be honest here... Does Homosexuality REALLY make sense even Biologically? No, it doesn't! And I might add that I don't hate homosexuals, but I don't think it's a natural or beneficial way to live either spiritually, emotionally, or biologically. However, everyone has a free choice on how to live their lives. God gave that to us all! THE MYTH OF HOMOSEXUALITY IN ANIMALS:  HOMOSEXUALITY IS AN UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE OVERALL:  SIDE NOTE: I will just say that I KNOW it can be overcome because I fell in love with someone of the same sex and had begun to live gay several years ago, however, I am completely straight and happily married today. I believe that God has healed me from this and delivered me from the lifestyle completely. Everyone has temptations and urges, however, it can be overcome by the Power of God in Messiah Yeshua. This is what I know to be true for my own life! posted by microsoft |

where to begin? It has been said about an "exit route" so i'd like to tell you(in a tasteful way) that they way some would prefer men to have sex(with a woman) also concerns an exit route(and i'm talking about frontally) just think about it. Anyway, how would this create problems with society, the problems aren't being created by gay people as they are the ones rtrying to live peacefully. On the matter of procreation, it is seen as perfectly natural to wear clothes/watch television/live in houses yet this isn't procreating nor(as i'm sure the comeback will be) necessary for life/survival. They are just normal activities as normal as say...homosexuality. Microsoft, were you born yesterday because that is the only reason good enough for your ridiculous post and obscene lack of knowledge and understandng(in oother words severe ignorance). Your crude diagrams show your immaturity, especially on this subject and just putting "doesn't work" at the side of the ones that you dislike does not give any evidence nor does it give anything more than your own opinion(which you're entitled to as much as you are entitled to the opinion that having black skin "doesn't work"). Let me tell you, it definately "WORKS". Dear me where do you get your information from you poor misguided CHILD? The whole thing about oral sex is utter rubbish, if it were true then there would be far less people in the world than there are right now. Plus heterosexuals engage in oral sex so this argument really doesn't help your cause. Please clarify how being gay is unbeneficial emotionally and spiritually(you've already tried and failed at biology bt i'm still willing to give you a chance). How many times does it have to be said that THERE IS NO CHOICE, not even God gave a choice (not to heteroes either). If there was a choice then do you really think that people would choose, not because there's anything wrong with it but due to homophobia,etc and all it brings with it. Noone would choose to put themselves into such a vulnerable position, remember that in some countrise homosexuals are still put to death. Not a great CHOICE is it? Homosexuality needn't be a lifestyle as the fundamentals of life, love,etc are still the same, it is only transformed into a lifestyle by pressure from society and the need to stick together. In response to your side note: it can't be overcome and you obviously either were'nt in love with them(at least not physically-it is possible to be attracted to/fall in love with someone's personality) or you were and you were/are gay or maybe you're bi. You most definately weren't gay and then "turned" straight, it is not possible, it "doesn't work" as you would say. posted by abandon hope |

I read this and I must break the news tah it is one of the most ridiculous and most fabricated, made up articles I have ever read. The statistics are ethier exaggerated or completely made up and I find it quite appaling that someone wrote this, knowing that innocent people would be taken in by it(as well as the not so innocent). I now find it easier to understand(though not condone) why such negative views of homosexuality are so widespread. I'm sorry toy tell you this but the abuse of power here is out of control and just goes to show what people with an agenda can achieve, this article, and many others like and unalike it also, has been written by someone with an agenda, here the agenda is to demonise homosexuality and is blatantly overflowing with bias against homosexuality. I pray that things like this are stopped and that they never appear again so as to protect the peope of this earth. I actually PRAY for it. May God forgive you! posted by abandon hope |
