Nobody chooses to be a homosexual;you are born homosexual. The same people that says homosexuality is a choice are the same ones saying the plane will fly. BAI below average intelligence.
I'm so sick of comments like these. The only thing you don't have a choice on is what types of impulses you have as a person initially. You damn well have a choice when it comes to acting on them.
I'll tell you right now I don't care one bit if people want to be homosexual or not. I don't agree with it, but it's their life, not mine. But they have as much choice on it as anyone else suffering from any other form of sexual desire or tendency. There is absolutely no difference between someone who is gay and someone with an over-active sex drive. Are you going to condone someone with an over-active sex drive committing adultery or screwing anything that moves? He can't help it right? He has no choice?
When I see any one of you ever start using the same argument to defend convicted sex felons and child molesters, then you might have a leg to stand on. Until then, just shut up. Any one who really doesn't want to act on homosexual tendencies has that ability.
There's a huge difference. Adultry or promiscuous sex hurt other people. Two gay people acting on the way they're wired hurts no one. It's a victimless act. What if I told you that you weren't allowed to have sex with a woman because it was wrong? You're splitting hairs over venacular.. of course you make the final choice, but you're not given a choice on the way you feel inside.
Oh bull crap. Family members are hurt, the person is hurt, the opportunity to have children naturally is hurt. Don't even try that lame excuse. People are hurt in the same way.
Should parents and other family members be hurt by someone being gay? Well hell, should the wife be hurt that her husband cheated on her? What's the difference. There's none. No difference at all.
Perhaps I am only splitting hairs, but the fact remains. Everyone has a choice. So the phrase "I don't have a choice" is flat out wrong.
So you advocate a totally celibate life for those who are attracted to the same sex (through what even you admit is no fault of their own) and that acting upon those beliefs is tantamount to adultery because of the pain it causes others?
The damage is done. The person in question can never have what you would claim a normal relationship is without it being a total sham, thus causing even more pain when it falls apart. Instead you propose that they be denied happiness in a way that harms no one any further than what nature/god/whatever has already done.
