What's so wrong with homosexuality?

Post by Dalton »

OK, ditch all that you previously knew. Ignore the bits of the bible that say homosexuality is immoral. Ignore all you've ever heard about homosexuals being evil and wrong and go with gut instinct.

Is homosexuality wrong? If so, why?

And what does it say about this nation's (quite hypocritical) civil rights that homosexuals don't enjoy the same freedoms as heterosexuals, such as the right to matrimony?

And if you find it revolting, why?!

Well let's see(My answers in bold):

Argument #1 -- Homosexuality is a sin.

Says who? Not everyone shares the same faith.

Argument #2 -- Homosexuality has no procreative use.

Neither do Oral or Anal Sex.

I really can't think of any others at the moment.

Some people say its unnatural use of the male/female sex organs. If naturality is so important i say take off your nikes, burn your clothes, and walk to work NAKED. But you'll have to work as a hunter. without WEAPONS, using your TEETH. GRAAAH!

But doesn't it hurt? I once rammed a candle up my ass, and it felt like taking a shit in reverse, only not as pleasant.

it can hurt, especially if youre tight or so tense youre clenching. second thing is that unless the candle had a nice rounded end, it was probably too wide at the start to allow for easy insertion. i can take some thick things, almost rivalling soda cans, but if i tried an actual soda can the width would be too great at the start to get it in, so you have to insert something rounded and tapered. lube helps too.

and i dont know about the shit in reverse thing, but i rather like the feeling of something pushing into me. :)

I...I have no clue what the hell to say to that, but rest assured, I'm thinking of something!

Personally, before I found this website and board, I never really thought about it. Because of the kind of home I live in half the time (parents = divorced, dad is cool, moms a nut), I just believed "gay is bad, don't be gay". Now, after I know some people who are gay, it really isn't a big deal. They are people who just happen to have different kinds of bedfellows. Einy, koji, and all of the GALE force, you people are pretty cool, and I have no problem intereacting with you.

Please don't get this one locked people, I want to hear some of the well reasoned and thought provoking input of those who have something to say about homosexuality being "wrong".

Personally i find anyone kissing near me disgusting if i can hear it.

Either sexuality kissing doesn't bother me if it's just visual...but when i can hear spit being exchanged and stuff it just icks me out.

Anything i find skanky watching gay people do applies to people i know of straight things, for example groping each other in public or basically shagging in front of me in clubs.

Thing is, i just prefer to look at women, men just aren't as nice to look at, especially in skimpy outfits (compared to women).

It doesn't bother me any more than in your face straight sexuality...i'd just prefer it if everyone was more of an asexual friendly person outside private or drunken situations.

rye, i agree with the blatancy of sexuality. i dont much mind groping so much as people throwing their sexuality in other peoples faces.

i even rip on rainbow priders because i hate the culture thats grown around it. that, and the whole rainbow thing is simply aesthetically wrong, from a graphic designers point of view.

What really bothers me is when a person casts themselves in a negative stereotype. Any negagive stereotype. If a guy goes around in skimpy clothes and speasks with a lisp, it pisses me off because they are lending amunition to the religious right...and I do my best to piss those fuckwits off, and it irritates me when people help them, even inadvertently.

I can't believe Ontario has legalized gays marrying. This is a sin in the eyes of God people! It's a disgusting and imoral act and Ottawa should strike down this law.

gods i hate bad stereotypes. i want to smack them every time i see them. they make it worse for US because they want to act like a fucknut ON PURPOSE. its one thing to actually be froofy, but its something entierly different to do it intentionally and on purpose like most gay pride parade goers do.

And if you find it revolting, why?!
I suspect it's because homosexuality tends to make some people very uncomfortable on a deep-down instinctive level. If one goes far enough down, sex = reproduction. And homosexual sex doesn't exactly do that, unless you happen to be a species of lizard. And the thought of a man hitting on another man, or a woman hitting on another woman? It has that eerie "ewwww" factor to it, sorta like having the ugliest person of the opposite sex come onto you at the bar.

Essentially, people don't like differences. Which shows that our attitudes towards homosexuality are extremely hypocritical. Humans may be wired to spot differences, yet it's easier for a black person and a white person (whose only real difference is skin-color) to get married, then it is for two homosexuals to get married.

terwynn, no society without religion-defined antigay morals has ever really found homosexuality disgusting. the psychology of sex is one of growing up, not genes, but the chemistry of sex is genetic, not from growing up. chemistry doesnt know male from female other then a few chemicals. the only way someone knows to fuck a female and not a male is because of chemical exchange, and the body cant find same-sex fucking to not equal reproduction because humans dont do that chemical exchange anymore, and even if we did its that exchange wouldnt remove the PLEASURE that comes from sex, which the body likes regardless of gender.

Of course it was a fucking court ruling in one province, not in Parliment in Ottawa. Damn cowardly politicians afraid to do anything that might dare jepordize their no work lots of money positions. At least it's a start


I wonder if the rednecks in Alberta will object because their rednecks, or because its just from Ontario.

I just don't give a damn about it, it's their deal if that's what they want to do. I also dislike the blatant in-your-face dislys of some groups. I personally would not do it, for myself it seems wrong to/for me.

I guess my stance is "I'm willing to respect your rights or privacy, but that means you also have to respect mine and not get defensive when it turns out I'm straight..." I've had experiences with gay guys who get a chip on their shoulder or start with "Oh, no haven't you even tried? Don't you wonder about it? You haven't experience deverything you haven't.... blahblahblah." Funny how some people want 100% respect and tolerance for their stuff but won't extend the same courtesy to others...

I will say, however, that the majority of gays and lesbians I've met have been quite amiable, friendly and respectful, and my expressed impatience is only with the pushy jerks.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

It's the exact same argument as the "choice" being involved, except it's the opposite side of the coin. Equally stupid and unrealistic.
Not to mention detrimental to the collective image. :x
