The Gays Issue. Are We In The West Just Another Iran?

[Balloon guy 158]

Are you suggesting a less than altruistic excuse for this manuever?

Actually I think people like her don't really think things through.My parents adopted a black baby when I was about 6. We lived in very rural Ohio, a farming community. We stuck out a bit.The problems that developed were much bigger than my parents were ready for. Not the racist comments and stuff to all of us, just the problems my sister dealt with feeling like she didn't belong. She turned to a bad group of kids and drugs and was basically a screwed up person for most of her life.She's better now, but as someone who went through it, I would say that everything being equal, it would be better not to prove your open-mindedness by forcing another human being to be a trophy.Of course this might not apply when you are a movie star and privileged forever.

I hear what your saing, and you are right. Trophy adoptions dont usually end well.The kid is black, will always be black, and will identify with the black community,and not to any discredit either. But from the time he learns to read and watch MSNBC, he will be told as a black, how he should think, who he should identify with, and how he should behave.Having a famous white parent wont help either.Sometimes I wonder who these people think they are, the great white savior of an unfortunate black kid?And why is the black communitie ok with these saviors, swooping in and saving their kids?

My daughter's 1st grade teacher had adopted an American Indian infant, and raised him for 5 years, and then the Indian community went to court to insist this child be taken away and raised by an Indian family.THAT was the single biggest travesty of justice I have ever heard.That poor kid.Although the local Indians get something like $35K a month from the 2 casinos..so maybe he'll be able to afford quality drugs to ease the pain of his childhood.

I've read this sentence 3 times, and I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Really?No, really?

Homophobia knows no bounds. My opinion is that anyone who dislikes (or thinks it is "wrong") same sex relationships and their inherent activities, etc, is not "right". There is nothing wrong with being in love with and engaging in sexual activities with someone of the same sex. It's discrimination and the laws of most countries are discriminatory in this regard. It's like hate crime made legal.

I agree completely and unfortunately this hate is state and church sanctioned.Thanks you for the reply BTW.Good to see at least one good mind here to show the straights how to think.If your Gay, let me add, no wonder Gays are hated. Most are brighter than most if the crew here is an example.For evil to grow all good people need do is nothing.Notice all the nothing doers above. No answer required on this last.RegardsDL

The homophobic impulse appears across all the continents, ethnic groups, educational and financial statuses, and whatever the religious/philosophical structure of society. Perhaps there is a fundamental aversion to a practice which, if were to become the norm of a society, would probably mean that society's demise.

You may be right but I do not think it has anything to do with protecting society.I think it is more our inherent dislike of anyone different for one and our ancient violent steak against any member of our species that shows weakness. That is quite common in the animal world whereas being Gay is seem as a benefit by most species.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RlTAyNI8WERegardsDL

This is so good for so many reasons.

The best I can gather is that anyone who doesn't like gay people or gay sex is a fucking idiot. Gay feelings are natural as is gay sex. Gay love and sex are discriminatory in this way. It's like gay sex has been made legal.

There is a big difference between sex with a same-sex animal and being "gay". Of course homosexual sex happens in the animal world (although to say it is common is quite a stretch). However exclusive homosexuality is exceedingly rare outside of humans. There is simply no analog to being "gay" outside of humans because gay is an issue of social identity, not an issue of sexual behavior. But the line that it is "considered a benefit by most species" is extraordinary.

My favorite reason, of all the reasons, is that apparently Greatest I Am agrees with Mercury69.

I find that humans who would hate a person just because they prefer their own sex as quite extraordinary.I also find it quite strange that we have institutionalized that hate in governments and religion while outwardly deploring hate.

All while preaching to other nations. RegardsDL

I hope this is sarcasm, because it is really dumb.Like, all of it.

I'm just advocating for gay rights, because I dont believe being gay is a crime and I have a fairly tolerant mindset. I suppose it's crazy of me to post a fairly serious reply on this thread, but...that's what I did <shrug>

I think this includes everyone except eunuchs..but they might also.

I feel your love...and it's rather soft and small...

This is the most devestatingly subconscious homo sentence in the history of devestatingly subconcious homo sentences.You are clearly gay and butthurt. No pun intended.

Do our labels of hetero and homo apply in regards to other animals? Seems to me they just sort of... f uck

Pretty much. In animals, it's mostly a dominance thing. Few animals have sex for pleasure.
