Then where should this be discussed as the location stated in the rules has become nonfunctional and the head moderator apparently is declining to respond to any messages.

You can post in the Personal Forum Issues, or use any of the avenues mentioned in rule 12 of the posting guidelines.

Purely as a FYI, you guys should disregard the above advice. BlinderBomber did what was suggested and got banned for doing so. Be warned.

Apparently I gave some bad advice there. I am talking with the other mods to see what should be done.
At this point, I would suggest NOT using PFI as an avenue to complain about mod actions.

Yeah... It looks like you're supposed to PM Derek. I haven't seen him around since the forum upgrade, though... are you guys sure that he's checking his PM's?

i just checked Derek's profile: Last Visited On: 9/25/2007 12:54:18 AM
i'm going to venture he's on vacation and we didn't get the memo.

And you'd go to jail and some big gangsta would ass rape you. So your son would be alive and gay, he would resent and hate you, and you'd be some gangsta's love interest for the next couple years. Kind of ironic isn't it?

I think I used to be homosexual. But then I think it sorta phased out. It was one of those things. I kinda doubt it's one of those things that's "pure scientific" we try and explain science too much. Who knows? Maybe being gay is the thing right now. Colleges will sure dig you if you are.

Am I the only one who finds this ridiculous?

Just because you're gay does not mean you can't reproduce. It's not as if we don't have in vitro fertilization.

w...t...f...

Did you completely sleep through sex-ed? Homosexuals CANNOT reproduce according to natural reproductive means. Homosexual = partnering with the same sex. Partnering with the same sex = no way to conceive children under current evolutionary constraints unless medical intervention is utilized in the form of test-tube, in-vitro with a third-party, et al. Since it takes 1 man and 1 woman, there would have to be women and men out there who just want to become breeding grounds and breeders so that homosexual couples can enjoy child-rearing.

Until evolution deems it so, homosexuals are not meant to reproduce hence the viewpoint some people have that homosexuality is biologically unnatural. Not my viewpoint exactly but a viewpoint out there nonetheless.

read the bolded part carefully. in-vitro fertilization is most of the time combined with doner sperms.

back on topic- if it was my daughter, i wouldn't mind. actually, i would be relieved because no punk-ass bitch will be messing around with my daughter. if it was my son, I would be sad that he doesn't enjoy the awesome beauty of the female mind

Love them, because he/she is my child. Who cares if they are gay or not?

Only because it slanders popular opinion that gayness is something you're born with.

You know there is such thing as bi-sexual... seems as if people are forgetting that.

Most people fail to understand or admit that there is a range of sexuality. It never has been a totally black and white metric.

I am continually fascinated by straight people who maintain in the face of nearly all legitimate scientific and anecdotal evidence to the contrary that having homosexual tendencies is a choice. It is a remarkable exercise in self-delusion.

Choice or not, I consider it abnormal, and would be very disheartened if my child turned out gay.

You don't have to like it.

Just try to avoid abandoning them or causing years of untold psychological damage. (both really happen)

What;s wrong with abnormal? Not having credit card debt in this country is abnormal too...

I wouldn't abandon my daughter of course, but I'd question myself where I failed as a parent, and how this could have happened to my kid. I firmly believe that nurture (vs nature) plays a bigger role in children turning out gay, and so if this were to happen, it'd be my fault as well.

 

[alkemyst]

That sux someone got a vacation for answering the thread...it's really not about whether being gay was ok or not...it was what someone would do if their kid was born like that.

It's not that much different than WWYD if you caught your kid having sex. One could really enjoy sex a lot, but finding their kid doing it is a different matter and probably forms a different opinion.

Anyway I posted a question in PFI about where the rules are on posting to PFI clearly mentioned to us members. I don't think it was fair since I had assumed PFI was where you'd post this kind of problem too.

IMHO hate posts aside, if one has to agree with any topic or not post in it; it should be marked that way or locked.

One week off for continuing to discuss mod decisions in this thread.

I don't know how to say this any clearer. Some of you either just can't help yourselves, or just refuse to follow the rules.

YOU CANNOT DISCUSS MOD DECISIONS/ACTIONS IN THAT THREAD.
YOU CANNOT PM MODERATORS DIRECTLY TO DISCUSS THEIR ACTIONS.

These rules are in place for a reason, and the fact that there was some confusion about whether you could discuss this in PFI does NOT change the rules in this thread. We will continue to enforce these rules.

I would feel saddened by the fact that the child would have to face so many extra obstacles in life because of being homosexual, but that is all. I would support the child the same way I would support a heterosexual child.

There is just as much legitimate, scientific and anecdotal evidence saying that homosexual tendencies are an amalgamation of many things a previous poster has indicated...hormones, upbringing, environment, et al and that CHOICE plays a major part. Yes, a male can be attractive and some males are very handsome and put together well. Beauty isn't something that is owned purely by the female form. There is a point where a choice is made whether the homosexual community wants to recognize it or not. I think they don't because once they do they lose all leverage they have when "discrimination" is one of their major weapons.

No there isn't in fact, thanks for proving my point though.

If there was one or several common post birth environmental factors that gays had in common they would have figured it out by now. I never (I mean not one single time) met a gay who would classify their orientation as a choice. I sure as hell didn't chose to be stuck in emotional turmoil over this for 10 years just for kicks and nor does anyone else.

HAHAHA, you back for more? I thought you'd never post in this thread again after we thoroughly PWNED you yesterday over your ridiculous "sanctity of marriage" arguement. :laugh:

Wow. You know more about gays than they do about themselves!
And, of course, regardless of why someone is gay, discriminating against them is still wrong.
