It affects society when business's are closed or heavily fined because they don't want to host a gay wedding. Or when schools and media try to teach my children that this is normal. So it does affect people.

Those are positive effects.

OR, now follow me, they could stop being close minded bigots. The same arguments were used against Blacks wanting to sit a the same lunch counter, interracial marriages, etc.
I choose to be on the right side of history, you can fuck off.

It seems like today's environment you are labeled a bigot if you don't accept guys banging guys and I don't understand why.

That kind of behavior, in my opinion, is not something that should be accepted or celebrated. It should not be something that is protected by law. If you want to do things to guys in the darkness of your own bedroom then whatever, just keep it out of public spotlight. But it seems like today's environment promotes homosexuality, it seems like it is "cool" to be gay and like gay things. Since when did this become a thing?

It is unnatural, biologically speaking, and if you disagree then you are disagreeing with millions of years of evolution and I will ALWAYS find you wrong. I can't even believe it is a debatable thing. But I guess here we are. So...with all of that being said where do you stand ATOT? Why is this an OK thing in our society?

Clarification: Just to clarify before I get the witch-hunt out for me I'm not saying to castrate gays and burn them at the stake, I am simply saying why are we publicizing and glamorizing such an act? If you want to be gay be gay on your own time, out of the spotlight. Don't make it some sort of publicized thing that should be 'respected' because it shouldn't be.

Moved from OT for now but still being discussed at the Admin level.

But why do you care if two guys are banging? I could care less, not my problem.

Good point. We should all learn after animals. Talk about a great role model to aspire to.

yo, dumbfuck, the claim was that homosexuality is not natural, when in fact, it is happening throughout nature and has been since the beginning of time. Which, would kinda make it natural, no?

Did the person rape someone else?

Did the person rob someone else?

Did the person molest someone else?

Did the person commit slaughter?

Did the person commit genocide?

Did the person enslave another?

Did the person abuse another?

Did the person manipulate another?

Did the person celebrate others that have done the above?

If the answer to these questions is no, there's little else to get righteous about, really. Gay, straight, bisexual, transexual, white, black, red, northern, southern...It doesn't matter a damn bit.

And in regards to the "BUT IT AIN'T NATURAL!" argument; you're wearing clothes, using cutlery and playing on a computer. Stop being a dick.

Ah the inevitable dimwitted response to the evidence that the original claim that homosexuality is unnatural. Don't acknowledge the fact that you were wrong about it being unnatural. Instead, pivot to the argument that just because something is natural doesn't mean we should emulate it. Problem is, nobody here has said that homosexuality is okay just because it is natural.

Outside influence will definitely encourage a person to be one way or another

Get around drug addicts and you will most likely begin messing around with drugs. Hang out with alcoholics and you will most likely start drinking.

hang out with bigots like you and you will most likely become a bigot, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to have kids.

What I don't understand is why all people can think about when they think about homosexuality is "the sex". There is more to a relationship that fucking. As for "does it hurt", you realize tons of heterosexual couples engage in sodomy too, right?
Sex is a huge part of a healthy relationship.

What a colossal fail post by OP.

Why are you concerned with "needing to accept guys banging guys"?

Are you also judging any other folks, your family, co-workers, friends based on what they do in their bed-room?

Oh no, you don't! And you know why? Because we usually don't judge others on what they do in their bedroom and what their sexual preferences are, this is a taboo in our society since we usually keep those things to ourselves.

You are therefore not "forced by anyone" or as if you call it "obliged to accept" what people do in their privacy of their home, WHETHER THIS CONCERNS GAYS OR "NORMAL" PEOPLE AND HOW AND WHAT they do in their bedrooms.

You actually have the fortune and freedom that this doesn't need to concern you, whether it's gays...or possibly your hetero neighbor, co-worker or friends doing other "unspeakable" things such as BDSM or whatever practices.

I could also call those things "unnatural" "biologically speaking", heck you would be surprised the amount of people who do "biological unnatural" things, as if ACCORDING TO YOUR WEIRD VIEW only things that are "biologically natural" (whatever they might be) would be tolerated.

Go do me a favor and ask around among your friends, co-workers etc. what they do in their privacy is "biologically natural" - let alone the fact that it would be highly weird WHY this should even concern you.

Go grow the f up and start obsessing over gay sex, because that's exactly what you do....unable to judge people because you cannot get over the fact they might be doing sth. at night which goes against your belief...as if it were relevant IN THE SLIGHTEST.

And don't even claim that "gay sex" etc. is "promoted" in the media or in public because it is not..it is as much (or little) "promoted" as any type of sex in the main stream media which (in the US at least) is hardly the case anyway since sex is a "hush-hush" topic.

If you see a gay couple etc. and can ONLY think about "the guys banging" and have a problem with it it's foremost your problem, your shallowness of how you judge people.

Did I say it wasn't? My point is that the "sex part" is what people seem to focus on immediately and use as their pillar of "it's unnatural" and "immoral" (please reference the OP). Skipping over the "love being love" part.

pedophile?

Pedophile as in, the medical designation? Nothing wrong with that.

Pedophile as in, the colloquial term? Off with his head.

To clarify, over here in the UK, the term pedophile is colloquially used to designate a child molester/groomer/rapist, whereas the actual definition is just a person that's attracted to kids.

Having an attraction is no issue; for example, I'm attracted to women. Doesn't mean I'm going to rape 'em.

Correct. And more importantly, we (our society) doesn't judge people/relationships on "the way how they fuck". The OP does, tho. Think about it how creepy this is.

Is it not possible for pedophiles to engage in consensual sex? Legally, they can't. But practically can they?

Point of clarification, do you accept girls banging girls?

Oh I agree 100%. The problem is A LOT of people think/act along the same lines as the OP. It's saddening.

If you want to discuss sexual particulars, L&R is the place for that.
