Heterosexuals

[Anewman]

Heterosexuality is not a choice because it is the natural order of God.

So heterosexual deviants are ok, because they have no choice.

Just following your line of questions, hope they dont backfire.

If I misunderstood, I apologize. It is just that I hear that argument a lot. What did you mean about society going down a path we don't want to?

Yeah...we already killed Disco.

Heterosexuality is not a choice because it is the natural order of God.

Homosexuality and every other sexual preference is a conscious choice to engage in that activity.

Predjudice rears its ugly head again!

But let me be controvercial.

I believe;

Sexual preference has nothing to do with God or Gods.

It is not genetic but I do not think it is a concious choice either, to be honest I do not know why.

I do not think it is 'natural' in the sense that if it were the nature for all then procreation would cease.

However I do think it is definately normal for some people. And that is fine by me.

Are my answers blck and white? No

Are my answers honest? Yes.

And just to throw a spanner in the works one of the most accepted examples of romantic love would nowdays be looked at as not normal. It is thought that Romeo and Juliet were 15 and 13 years old respectively.

Heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality are what they are, it's not about the act of SEX. That is what you do not seem to get. Those individuals would still be what they are regardless of if they ever have sex or not.

One could have homosexual tendencies but never act upon them. We are not defined by sexual preference.

chiming in late.......I am a to each his own sort of person and if it works for you, than more power to you. I have a statement to this though. If it is a choice because of the natural order of God, do you not deem yourself heterosexual until you are married because we should not engage in sexual activity until marriage, right?

I don't believe anyone makes a conscientious decision to be attracted to a type, most homosexuals know they are gay or "different" before they know about sexuality so how are they "choosing" It's the attraction that makes you a sexuality not the act, hence gay and straight virgins.

Now be honest - you're talking from experince now aren't you?!!!!

I do not know what causes homosexuality. As of 3/9/2007 there is no conclusive medical/scientific evidence that we can point to as the clear cause. Personally, i think it s a mix of factors.

I love 20 questions. I have just the one. What caused God? If you have any links for proof that would be awesome.

One could have hetrosexual tendancies but not act on them. It is interesting that the vast majority of Catholic sex abuse cases which have come to light are on boys. Are all the clergy who did these gay or just repressed by being celebate. Interesting that the majority of paedophiles who act against boys do not consider themselves gay.

 

[smartestnumber5]

Would you say that a person is born gay then?

I don't know the answer to that anymore than I know the answer to whether I was born incapable of finding Sarah Silverman funny.

Maybe so, maybe not. I do think the going scientific research shows there is quite possibly some genetic connection for some gay people. I think it is likely much more complicated than just "a gay gene" however since things generally are. I believe, for instance, there are some genes which only affect a person after they are "switched" on. And even in cases where we have isolated a gene, there are still cases of the phenomenon which are not tied to the gene. For example, my mother just had breast cancer in both breasts at the same time--a rather rare occurrence. Doctors were sure she must the BRCA gene because her situation was so rare that they thought it had to be a genetic factor. But she tested negative for the gene. Maybe in her case, then, her cancer was not caused by a genetic factor. Or maybe it was a genetic factor, but one which scientists haven't found yet. I don't know. I do know, however, that genetic or not, she didn't choose to have breast cancer nor would I say she was born being a person who would one day get breast cancer.

My biggest objections to homosexual marriage are these:

1. Dont call it marriage. Marriage is something setup by God as a union between one man and one woman. Though I still oppose them, I could see more of a case for civil unions. Regardless of what I think, within 5 years I think you will see this happen which leads me to my next point:
2. There are already others knocking on the door trying to get their preferences normalized and legalized. I know people call it a straw man but polygamist groups are now actively trying to get their unions recognized as well. Not to mention 3 person bisexual unions. Who knows where this path will lead us. Will marriage have any restraints left at all. Marriage is discrimnatory by nature and regulated by the state. Siblings cant marry. You have to be a certain age, etc. Once homosexual marriages are granted and legalized in all 50 states, other fringe groups will rise up and demand their rights as well. Ageism? Why cant I marry when I am 13? WHy cant I marry my siblling, we are in love? Where does it end? We as a society do not want a free for all in marriage with no restraints at all

And this has what to do with the original post.

Oh I get it, it was a cover for more discrimination and predjudice.

And by the way who gave you the right to say what society wants or not?

I loooove looooove loooove when people call it sexual preference. Ummm...do you have a racial preference? "Today, I choose to be ASIAN!! Tomorrow...who knows!!"

I don't see what the problem is with gay people getting married or with polygamists getting married. They are already doing what they do. If they want to be legally married, what is the big deal? I just don't get it. And I don't see the harm to society.

If people want to let their 13 year olds get married, that's fine with me, too. I wouldn't do it and would discourage others, but it really isn't my business, I don't think.

We refuse to legalize incest because of the obvious harm it does to the children. The rest of it is just personal bias.

Oh, here we go.

OK, i will play along.

Do you as a member of society want polygamists marriages?

Do you want sibling marriages?

Do you want 3 person bisexual marriages?

Do you want 15 yr old boys marrying 40 yr old men?

Because those are the groups knocking at the door of marriage and claiming the same rights as everyone else.

I feel it is my business, welfare is a big enough problem now. I would hate to imagine what it would be like if it was legal for kids to marry b4 they could legally work full time.

You pay taxes, right?

So, unless, you are a heterosexual man marrying a heterosexual woman (or vise versa), marriage is not for you! Everyone taking notes here?

And, yes, exactly...marriage is discriminatory and is regulated by the state. But, it shouldn't be. And be careful...demanding equal rights in this country is a nono!

There shouldnt be any restrictions on marriage at all? Are you sure?

If you do this you might want to do away with all the age of consent laws at the same time. Cant have no restrictions on marriage with those pesky age of consent laws.

Or do you really want for marriage to have some discrimnatory parts of it?
