    How can rights of people concerning color be compared to people of sexual preference? I believe that the two cannot be compared, for one is based on the color of a mans skin while the other is based on sexual desire.
    Tell me how the (desire or right) to drink out of the same water fountain, the (desire or right) to have a good education can be compared to the (desire or right) to have sex with someone of the same sex or further more be married to the same sex? For an example of this being silly nature proves it to be wrong, for the same sex cannot reproduce!

      It's true; the two issues are NOT comparable at all.
      It's a lie of the homosexual agenda that's being force-fed into our legal systerm and education system and over-all down the throats of Americans (and perhaps others).

        Actually Joe, "queer" isn't describing someone's thinking.
        describing someone's sexual orientation or sexuality.

        In reality, the truth of the matter is - every single person on the planet is bi-sexual. It's evident in the fact that some individuals actually live their life based on their sexuality/sexual orientation.

        However foolish that is, is still out for the jury. But, on another hand, what someone does in their own life is their business and not the business of you or anyone else who thinks like you do.

        If you have a problem with homosexuality, then get over yourself. It is obvious that people want to live their life their own way and yet more and more people are trying to tell them that they are wrong in doing so.

        It's a pathetic attempt to control others. Bi-sexuality is a given in every person. It is their own CHOICE to pick one or the other or both, for which, brings them pleasure.

        If you claim you are not bi-sexual, then you have chosen aside. You have chosen to be with one particular type of mate. Whether or not, that mate is of the same gender or not, is completely up to you and no one else has the RIGHT to dictate otherwise.

        It all begins with choice. Just my thoughts. smile

          hey cags_ i agree and your point is taken. but in a society where 99% of the people are of one"choice" then it begs the question how  and or why did they make that selection. also i think everyone in this country has said to each his own. the question is why do gays always want to get in you face telling you they are gay non-stop! everyone has grown sick with this. why don't they just shut-up about it. i guess the next hurdle for them would be to have their own section in a restaurant.in big bold red letters "GAY SECTION" none of this is necessary. they will ask us, is it normal? we will say no. then here comes the tirade and they say we,re angry. my opinion is my opinion. if you don't want to know, stop asking and stop busting in everyones living room telling us that we must change our opinion because you or they say so.debate is healthy!

      JOE BARNETTposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      there are no parallels.rascism was spawned out of greed. in this country. it was not a socially and morally unacceptable activity that perpetuated it.once slavery began and a few laws were in place. such as: no reading(felony) no learning to read(felony)no money(felony)no books(felony)anyone helping them to read(felony)then the population started to live in a false sense of superiority and there imaginations ran amuk. they thought if they had more money it was because they were better than you or if you were not very intelligent it was because they were better than you.  no,it was against the law! 

      Now homosexuality best i can tell is from desperation. no women around(prison,the navy)and maybe stems from womens lib. during the 80's they talked about men like a dog. they cut them down. anything a man did was seen as derideable. that aside, it opposes nature thus pointless. everybody has friends but ya wanna boink them? whew! that is nuts or deviant. girls are really starting to go nuts with this. so time will tell, when the last human dies due to negative population explosion or it's a phase that people soon realize is a waste of time

          sab oh - no big business needed a uniformed work force. the white indentured slaves would run off and blend in with a community. thus the black man and free labor (can you imagine how many companies we could open if we didn't have to pay anyone?) unable to hide in the community.then laws masegeny laws were passed all felonies no mixing no learning no nothing, this would maintain the work force. then the peoples imagination ran away with them and felt superior over them.  then they entered the job market and people felt threatened and rascism went rampant. not spawned from what society considered a seedy or morally incorrect lifestyle. so bottom line you can say they were discriminated against because they didn't like them and that's the only similarity.

    People are fooling their selves to think that being gay is okay. Those that believe this are either practicing homosexuals, have a kid who are allowed to practice such, or don't believe that the bible condemns such practice.
    For those that don't believe the bible condemns this read Romans ch. 1. 

    When America was first established homosexuality was condemned by death or life at hard labor, for those that don't believe this check out the old laws of your local state, when your state was 1st established.

      always amazed at the anger people have that disapprove of homosexuality.

      why are you so angry?

      you speak  of being gay as though you know what it is like.

      do you struggle with your own sexuality, I know this creates anger.

      it is within your right to be judgmental and ignorant.

      but don't pretend to assume these people are ignorant or don't have the same right to an opinion.

      as a gay woman, working as a musician, your judgements like others that share the same hatred have become boring and quite frankly, old.

      It's quite probable that there has already been a gay president of the U.S. (Buchanan).

      One of the best sources to read about the allegations of Buchanan's homosexuality is in James Lowen's book "Lies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong". Lowen asserts that Buchanan didn’t try very hard to hide his preference. He lived with William Rufus King, a Senator from Alabama, for many years.

      Many referred to them as “the Siamese twins,” meaning a homosexual couple. Lowen asserts that Andrew Jackson dubbed King “Miss Nancy,” and Aaron Brown, a prominent Democrat, writing to Mrs. James K. Polk, referred to him as Buchanan’s “better half,” “his wife,” and “Aunt Fancy…rigged out in her best clothes.”

      Homosexuality is also referred to in the bible. It's been around a long time -- but today it's out in the open.

      Well...indeed I myself found that fact out, that one of the Staff is homosexual, or at least seems to defend it even at the extent of attacking MY straight views.

      And you, ryankett, have just accused another hubber of bigotry, when apparently it is YOU who are bigoted.  Shameful twisting of the facts you've done.   Just because a group of people decide they want to re-define their status at their whim, leaving others to have to cater to their new terms, doesn't make it wrong for the person to CALL it like it is.

      And once again, RACE is different from SEXUAL habits,  even though the racial groups have often been guilty of re-defining their desired status as well.

        Not really sure what you are on about, but if a homosexual is 'queer' then you are a 'honky', or something much worse. I haven't actually mentioned race anywhere, you must have imagined that bit, but if race is another of your obsessions then I will happily use that as an example.

        Labels are the very definition of prejudice and bigotry, I am not labelling anybody. An African-American man is more entitled to call himself a 'nigger' for example, a homosexual man is more than entitled to refer to himself as a 'queer', but you would have no right as a heterosexual white female to use those names to describe either.

    What I love is how all these people talk about how sex should be "natural"-how it needs to result in reproduction.

    Are you seriously telling me that every time you had sex you were hoping to create a child? If you say yes, I don't believe you.

    How can it possibly be so hard to understand this? You (OP, Brenda) did NOT choose to be straight. What on earth makes you think anyone chooses to be gay? God, there is SO so SO! much scientific evidence that shows that this is a NATURAL state of being (i.e., one into which people are BORN), even if it isn't the majority.

    Where do people get off being so hateful and then acting like they're not...what is going on in people's heads!!??

    My abusive, drug-addicted, barely educated, Baptist parents taught me better than that...funny how they got it, but some of you guys can't.

    I just wish that for one week all the tables could be turned. I wish for one week all the straight people could be ones who were scorned and who had unequal rights. We'd see then who thought what was fair.

      ya know glass spyder- you sound as though you are gaym fine! the problem everyone has is people saying that it is normal. it is not! however society allows it. gays want to remain in everyones face telling us "look i'm gay'look i'm gay" why? to people that are not gay, it makes them sick to think about it. why are the gays unable to see that?
      also there was a time when you were a-sexual as a kid. but when you reached puberty something happened that caused you to decide which way you wanted to go. someone brought gays around you and they took advantage of you till you started to like it. you were really shy and girls were rude or you wanted to try it to see what it was like but there was a turning point and something caused it. but it's not natural.

      in growing up we learn our roles.if you had a 10 year old son and he was glad to see his buddy and he walked up and kissed him . you would think wtf and you would tell him hey son you don't kiss your buddies.it would be because he didn't know better. if you allowed this to continue it would soon grow into being affectionate with guys. not normal! and there are alot of people that feel this way, more than there are that feel the other way.

          Actually you would be wrong Jen and I don't mean any disrespect.

          Normal? Is based on the natural reproductive state of human beings.

          And regardless of what individual people think, that's the basis for normal. It isn't subjected to changes as per the thinking of "gays" or "lesbians".

          Your individual sexuality or sexual orientation is your own choice. If you're spending your life with a partner and have no aspirations for having children(leave adoptions out of it the topic), then sure you could spend your life with a partner of the same gender.

          But, don't expect it to become normal, because it isn't normal. The normal is for a person to WANT to be reproductive and create off-spring of their own.

          Should you not want to create children? Then that is your choice, but as far as the growth aspect of humanity it would not be considered normal.

          Just a thought. smile

            But, I'm not talking about societal norms or the drive to procreate. I'm talking about the biological basis for homosexuality.
            It's a fact (not a choice) that a person's gender does not always align with their sexual drive.These two factors develop separately, and before birth. I'm not implying that homosexuality is normal compared to heterosexuality, because it is an anomaly. I am saying that it is normal in the sense that it happens commonly and it is not some kind of crime against nature.
            Unless you call those ducks criminal. But I gotta think that they're not considering whether or not the Duck Community has decided it's taboo.



            The 1% that was mentioned before is WAY off.

              If someone is selling you on that way of thinking, then I suggest you use a little common sense, along with your thinking. There is no way possible for a person's sexual orientation to be determined before they are born. Any individual who says it does is passing along subjective bias views, so as to gain something for themselves.
              Actually, it is a crime against nature, because it defeat our natural instincts which are to breed, just like all other animals and other life-forms.

                Common is the only sense that I still have lol

                A baby's gender is determined in the first trimester.

                Pheromone research consistently shows that a different region of the hypothalamus is activated when homosexuals and heterosexuals are exposed to the same odor (men's sweat, for example.)
                Can you control how your hypothalamus reacts to a sub-conscious odor? smile

                The hypothalamus does not develop until the third trimester. A mother's hormonal variations during the pregnancy may have an effect on this mix-up. Studies in epigenetics are also showing a potential cause.

                It's like if somebody built a log-cabin style house, then at the last minute they decided to put in Victorian furniture instead of rustic-American style. Maybe not the greatest example, but the point is the body develops before the brain function does.

                  But, my point is that the gender of a child is created, but not the sexuality or orientation. Therefore, it is a choice of the young child as they learn and grow. Again, leading to the sole point that a person's individual sexuality is a choice/decision that one makes.

                  The choice isn't considered normal, as per what I said earlier.

                    Love ya buddy, but you're wrong. Sorry smile

                    If homosexuality was a conscious choice, how can you possibly account for sub-conscious reactions in the brain when a person is presented with an unidentified odor? Homosexual and heterosexual men - when they don't know what it is they are even smelling - have completely different reactions in the areas of the brain that contribute to sexuality.
                    These areas in the brain do not develop at the same time as the physical gender.

                    Also - I'll do it if you want me to - I could list a dozen or more physical differences between homo and hetero men, including how deep the fingerprints are and which direction the hair grows.

                    It may be a choice whether to deny the biological urges of your subconscious mind, but the urges themselves are not a choice. No, no, no.

                    Humorous Gesture:
                    Most of the "homosexuals" and/or, as they say "queers" are actually born that way - for whatever reason via DNA or some other gay scientific reason, in which the divine rectal-reamer-haters often try to rectify the random, raging, repented violators of the reoccurring recidivism that involves rampaging pervasive acts upon desperate orifices from a recluse that is drawn into the male rectum?  How taboo...  Damn, I'm glad I was born to love big-booty girls!  Ha-ha-ha!!!

            You are using the word "normal" to describe what the majority of people are.

            I'm using the word in the sense that it isn't unnatural.


            Having red hair is not normal when you compare the number of red heads to the number of brunettes. (your use of "normal")
            But, having red hair is normal. People are born with red hair all the time; they are not abnormal people. (my use of it)

            Now, if your argument is that homosexuality is a choice that people make, I disagree with you. But do me a favor and just read back through this forum if you don't know what my argument is in this matter.

              WYANJEN-you have to be careful the analogies you use to create the picture that you want. this one was not effective. i will use nature as my basis. if you have 9 out of ten chicks at birth born with two legs and 1 in ten born with one leg , it is not natural.now you know the pro-creation thing so then gay becomes pointless. then thirdly you don't have to teach boys and girls to get together.o-13 seperate. 13 and after you can't keep them apart. if you have a son and you see all of the kids his age starting to go to parties and dances and then high school and the changing of boy friends and girlfriends by the month. then you should become concerned, why? because something is not N-----

                The analogy I used is correct. You are missing the point completely.

                A chicken born with one leg is a defective chicken. It is not a normal chicken. You should be careful yourself I think.

                A human who is born with red hair is not defective. A human who is born homosexual is not defective.
                You don't have to teach young adults who they should be attracted to. It is a natural urge. As to your "pro-creation" argument, I don't see too many 17 year olds designing the nursery before they go for a romp in the back of daddy's Chevy. You are applying a philosophy to a biological urge, after the fact.

                Considering through the course of human history, the massive number of homosexuals and heterosexuals who did not have children, I think your "pro-creation imperative" is narrow minded and false.

      Read your Bible again. Marriage as God intended has nothing at all to do with a ceremony. Nothing. In your Old and New Testament, if you read it properly (i.e. with a Strong's concordance sitting in your lap), you will realize that marriage is one thing (and you're probably MORE married than you think)...and the official ceremony of marriage is a man-made thing with civil - rather than spiritual - implications.

      LOL, you obviously don't get out much. Homosexual behavior is RAMPANT in the animal kingdom.

      I'd also have to question how much you actually read your Bible, since there is just as much evidence in the Bible of God's support for polygamy and concubinage as there is of his support for marriage between "one man and one woman." The Biblical patriarchs almost all had more than one wife, and many had multiple concubines in addition to multiple wives.

      There's also some pretty strong circumstantial evidence that David and Jonathan were doing it. wink

    Another thread dedicated to spout garbage. Garbage=Labels.

    I say mind your own business and let people live their damn life their own way. Speaking out against the way people live is ridiculous and thus allowing other people more power that is 'usurped' under the moral clause of "righteousness", which is only an idea.

    The fact is that the righteousness are no better than anyone else, because of the simple fact that they cannot see their own ignorance. They are blinded by their own faith and the misconception that they have a right to invade other people's life.

    Again, this is ridiculous and for any person who is of the religious view is clearly over-stepping their boundaries....not to mention......they are giving themselves the right to tell others how to live, which is a misconception, because they actually do not have that right, under any circumstances.

    So, those who are religious should step off and back off, because the actuality reality of the situation is that they have NO RIGHT to interfere into someone's life.

    Just my thought. smile

        a serious note - I always picture a road - straight road, straight and narrow and right to the same old same old.

        bent (which is maybe or maybe not "gay") road - nice and twisty, curves a plenty, never can tell where it will end up!

        and as for the term "gay"  hahaha - many terms in English are not meaning what the original use of word meant -  that makes the language confusing, but also a lot of fun.

        I think all the gay terminology dates back to the days when gay people had to hide and be very sneaky about it and had "codes" to determine whether someone else was also gay -  like "being a friend of Dorothy"  etc.  Friends of mine got me very drunk once and explained all the ins and outs of gay terminology and it was so much fun!  Also sometimes a bit frightening imagining the huge trouble one could get into (and probably can still in some neighborhoods)  just because you say the wrong thing and some "straight" redneck type wants to bust your head in for you.  so I know how serious it is even tho I joke around aboutit

          You could always save all that poppycock while trying to explain 'slang terms' and semantics......  We'll just call it "same gender sexuality"  and perhaps abbreviate it to SGS, that way some of y'all won't get confused.  Ha-ha!  Personally, calling someone "straight" that doesn't perform the SGS, makes perfect sense to me.
          I see no need to complicate something with superfluous verbiage on a subject that is so simple.

          Who cares...we have bunghole bangers amid society, what's new?  In fact, the animal kingdom has plenty of SGS performers, not counting the Homo sapiens.  But, I shall enjoy the straight path and I'll let you guys work out all the kinks.  big_smile

          joe, this is related to other post you made re: aids comment.

          AIDS is preventable now.  For those who are sexually active and smart enough to get STD checks regularly, if found early enough, the HIV virus can be managed and AIDS never developed.  I have personally met two people with HIV and they were both diagnosed with the virus many years ago whom after treatment are now not even showing HIV+ in their regular and of course mandatory blood tests.

          So far as logic is concerned, not everyone wants to reproduce.  I am heterosexual and although I have not ruled out children I really don't see it as a logical choice even if I did have children.  If I did choose to have children the logic would be I want them so I am going to have them, it is simple gratification of desire.  For a gay male to have a male partner is not illogical.  If a guy wants a romantic partnership with a male how is it illogical, it is just about desire.  There are many reasons why a man might prefer to be involved with another man.  One, there is no risk of children which could be seen as a major benefit to a lot of guys.  Secondly, maybe the guy doesn't get along with the more emotionally charged female.  Thirdly, maybe he has been hurt by women in the past, ripped off financially, cheated on, whatever it is.

          Speaking from experience, I had could set the agenda and take all other factors under my control I would find a woman who left the house 1 week in every 4, had no chance of bearing children and was at least a little more wealthy than me.  If we both wanted children I would think adopting to be more logical seeing how there is some poor kid out there who needs parents and many more dying from starvation or poor living conditions.

          Anyway, thats my rant for the day.

    Well, I think that it is a case of all people being treated with equal respect, and allowing them all equal rights.

    It is totally illogical and unfair to dislike someone, or to treat someone badly, because of the colour of their skin.

    It is equally illogical and unfair to dislike someone, or to treat someone badly, because of the sexual orientation that they were born with.
