Help me in a debate about homesexuality...

[lgot]

just repeat "Blood transfusion, that kind people do to save others, also can transmit AIDS.Therefore blood donation is immoral like homesexuality". And go home.

Just a word of advice don't use that one when dealing with Jehovah (sp?) Witnesses. They believe that blood is sacred and that it is a sin to get blood transfusions. So they probably would agree that blood transfusions and homosexuality are both evil and immoral.

Ok, then a JW special, change to Preganacy, after all a mother can transmit AIDS to his son, therefore, motherhood is immoral. And go home.

What kind of imbecile honestly thinks that heterosexual sex can't transmit AIDS?

[lgot]

C'mom, Wong, you know the answer; an anti-gay bigot who can not find another way to justify his ignorancy and pull that out because it is even worst than thinking there is a "risk group" or anything as that, he is just saying if you have a disease, instead of being a victim, you are immoral.
Contact with domestic animals can transmit diseases, so to him it is immortal to pet a cat...That kind of imbecility...

Thank you for the help!

I think the the argument they were trying to use was that you would spread the disease after getting it, because it's a well known fact that gay people have to have sex atleast 40 times a week or they'll lose their powers and then they'll melt...then the souls of the poor straight children they killed will finally be released.

If they were here, you could simply demand evidence that homosexuality is inextricably linked to promiscuity and unprotected sex, and then declare open season on them when they fail to produce it. Unfortunately, most forums do not have the "can't repeat contentious claim without evidence" rule, so they can keep stating it as a fact all day long and there's not a damned thing you can do about it.

They're using ancedotal stuff like "the people I've talked to..." and "every one knows...". It's obvious that they're losing the debate, but that's not the same as actually talking them out of their homophobia.

I would suggest that you phrase it as a hypothetical: "suppose you have a homosexual couple which is monogamous their whole lives, doesn't get or transmit AIDS, and generally live as upstanding members of the community in every other way. Has this couple done anything wrong, or would you praise them as the virtuous people that they appear to be?"

That is probably the best way to talk them out of their bigoted attitude,(they're not generally like that, they just seem to hate homesexuals) but something tells me that they're so set in their view that they're never going to change their opinion. Their like no opponent I've ever seen, they're so powerful they they're immune to logic! I'm clearly no match for their devastating fallacies...

Speaking of mental disorders, when a gay person has conflicting feelings between their sexual orientation and their adopted religion, one of the more bastardly things anti-gay bigots will do is blame the homosexual feelings as the culprit of the mental distress rather than the intolerant and bigoted beliefs of the religion. And of course when you attempt to criticize the religion, they're shocked that you have the adacity to blame an infallible religion that the vast majority of people have adopted.

Just that one thing rubs him the wrong way out of the blue, huh? Perhaps you ought to suggest that it doesn't sound like you are the one he's trying to convince...
