There's a difference between right and 'right'. A gym could say women only and I wouldn't have a problem with that. If they said white women only I'm going to be pissed.

Edit for clarification: Not just white - substitute color or religion or political affiliation or marital status, etc.

Why is there a difference? By your definition, it's still discrimination. Why make an exception for one group and not another?

Well, personally, I don't have a problem with a women's only gym either, but I do have a problem when women sue to gain entrance to men's only clubs, etc. It seems like a double-standard to me.

It is a double standard. It's the same double standard that many liberals (democrats and republicans alike) have been espousing for years. It's like that other thread where the guy bitched about the "U.S.A." chant at a football game. It's OK to be a bigot as long as it's against white men.

Are you saying it isn't a choice?
Biologically, homosexuallity is wrong as it doesn't serve to pass on genes, only deside if the jeans look good or not.

There's no self hate going on, I'm merely pointing out the fallacy in the logic of those that support one position and call they opposition bigots and intollerant because they won't change their ways.

How about gays stop being gay. Accept that straight people don't approve and shouldn't have to approve of thier homosexual lifestyle choices.

But they won't, they think that everyone should accept them, even though they won't accept that others don't approve of their lifestyle.

I have my beliefs, you have yours. Don't try and force me to believe in what you believe in.

Isn't that a 2 way street? hypocrite

Haha, and just like last time, nobody willl actually discuss it (what became your sig), because they know deep down if what they say is true (that there is no God) that there is no objectively verifiable reason that the universe cares whether anyone lives or dies. Nobody will actually discuss that "might makes right" is just as valid a worldview as "save the poor".

Just name calling, that I'm an "ignorant fuck" or whatever. Pretty much sums up the entire liberal viewpoint. No logic or reason, just anger, hatred, and name calling.

I'm a skeptical agnostic. Maybe there's something larger than us? I hope so. Maybe not? No one knows for sure. Either way, I don't need a god to tell me how to be a good person. Treat others like you would like to be treated. It's not that hard.

/removing the sig. Been there long enough.

All they had to do was call the order in and have another dude go down and pick them up. They could have sent this guy

This isn't even a story. A shop keeper says "sorry, can't help you" and it's news? The stupidest thing I've seen in print this year.
It sounds like you didn't read the full article, or were really not paying attention.

They admitted they were not accommodating the order specifically since gay pride went against their values, not for other business reasons. It may be legal and apparently no legal action is going to be brought against the business, but that doesn't mean it should be acceptable to others and people shouldn't boycott the business.

While I am trying to confirm this, a comment in response to the article claims his "young impressionable" daughters are 17 and 20 respectively by the way.

There's quite a bit of homosexuality in nature.

Some breeds of apes in Africa have a greater than 25% homosexuality rate.

If you live in an area with a large wild duck population and are an outdoorsman, you've probably seen multiple instances of 2 mallards f*cking.

Because no one is actually Irish, they are just there to drink beer and eat shitty fried food.

We've had llamas before and they're the gay as all hell.

Animals don't have sex out of pleasure or reason, but instinct. And that instinct does lead to sexual acts but not because they are gay. People are so stupid. The average dog can smell a dog in heat I have seen more than a mile away. And they will respond to that with any dog near them. Not because they are gay, but because they don't understand or know any better. While humans respond to hormones similar to animals, sexual activity is governed through the ability of a human to use intellect. Animals don't have that ability and will hump a person's leg, other animal, or even an inadament object.

Animals feel pleasure, pain and fear. Any low level emotion is felt by animals.

Homosexual behavior is homosexual behavior, regardless of motivation.

That just it, animals don't have a motivation for sex. Its instinct, no motivation needed.

The question presented was, is homosexual behavior "unnatural" as some people claim. It's a pretty specious claim when animals are doing it. Motivation or the lack thereof is irrelevant. The behavior is simply not unnatural.

What does "unnatural" really mean anyway? Technically, only humans are capable of going against nature by using our intellects. By definition, anything that is instinct, devoid of cogntitive deliberation, IS natural.

I'm afraid people are also confusing "procreative" with "natural." We do 1001 things which are not proceative, and many of them are sexual, including marital sex with birth control or involving sterile partners, but that does not make any of it unnatural.

Evolution fucks up. That's the entire basis of it. Gays are evolution fucking up. It really is just that simple.

You have already proven you don't know anything about evolution by using the terms 'social Darwinist' interchangeably with 'selfish fuckwit'.

The bonobo, an African ape closely related to humans, has an even bigger sexual appetite. Studies suggest 75 percent of bonobo sex is nonreproductive and that nearly all bonobos are bisexual. Frans de Waal, author of Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape, calls the species a "make love, not war" primate. He believes bonobos use sex to resolve conflicts between individuals.

Other animals appear to go through a homosexual phase before they become fully mature. For instance, male dolphin calves often form temporary sexual partnerships, which scientists believe help to establish lifelong bonds. Such sexual behavior has been documented only relatively recently. Zoologists have been accused of skirting round the subject for fear of stepping into a political minefield.

Many animals will kill and eat their own young. Dogs will eat their own poop at times. They eat their prey while its still alive. So are we too look at those natural things as well as a guide for normal behavior because its natural?
