How can people think homosexuality is a choice?

I just sat and read that.

You do know that that whole argument is one sided, and based on biased evidence?

There is no valid proof ( Notice the word Valid ) that same sex parents are less loving, less able to raise a child, less able to teach moral values ( Modern and correct ones ) and less able to provide a stable home. Who cares if less children are born there are too many of us on the planet anyway with our current destructive way of life, there are also plenty of children who need homes and would benefit from a stable environment.

I think you need to step back and take a look at the harm you can do with your opinions. Gay sex harms people no more than straight sex, to clarify, anyone can carry an STI, anyone can choose to not wear a condom and back to another of my points the AIDS epidemic in Africa clearly proves this.

I think they cover it, like cancer, if you have certain extensions of your cover. I don't really know the details tbh. And what about those gay people who don't work and rely on state insurance instead?

What about those Straight people who dont work and rely on state insurance?
By the same logic you should just ban all sex there are more straight people with HIV than Gay people with HIV.

Not when you fact that gay people make up a very small percentage of the population.

...
I'm not HIV negative. I don't have HIV

I never said people with HIV shouldn't have the same rights, but gay men spread HIV more than others. It is something that needs to be taken into account.

.....

What? Please don't pretend you understand anything mathematical.



Backwards causation is just causation. low taxes ==> greater prosperity.

I just had a heated argument with some guy, and my frustration is what angered me to write this. He told me, for accepting gays and being cool with them, and treating them as I would anyone else I'm not a proper Christian - infact probably not one at all - because the Bible condemns them. He says we should all use Jesus as a model human.

I tell him about Lady Gaga born this way and he was adamant people aren't born gay, but they're brought up fooled.

I then ask how homosexuality can be a choice, when homophobic areas have higher suicide rates and by his logic surely they could just change back to being straight if it was a choice. He then says he wishes more homosexuals would commit suicide, and that homosexuals don't think they can turn straight.

So I tell him, Jesus tells us to love all.. so saying that is going against Christianity etc. Then he quotes Sodomy and Gamora.

He's obviously not just a closed minded pre-teen.. he knows his stuff. I just can't comprehend how people can believe it.

If any of you believe it's a choice.. help me out and tell me why please.

Edit: I'm just so angry right now.. sorry.. someone restore my faith in humanity

Lol.

It is one way to avoid the problem, yes. No, it's not the victims fault, unless they were asking for it.

Oh, I'm living in my own 'bubble' am I? Don't make stuff up. What I reject your version of the truth and it has nothing to do with me holding contradictory views. Yes, I have my personal views on the matter, and my views on how society should handle the matter. As I've said, I don't want to take away gay rights, except where they cause harm.

The same values that our country was founded on and that we should fight to protect.

When you print more money, it devalues the current money, because suddenly more money represents the exact same wealth.

No, I said OUR society. All of us. My values and opinions aren't better than yours, it's just that IMO my views help society more than yours. A lot of people also agree with my views.

If it leads to more gay people and if it leads to more homosexual relationships it might well cause the incidences of HIV to increase.

I don't agree with you, I think you can be against many gay 'rights' without being homophobic. Besides, most states in the US have bans on gay marriage and many presidential candidates are against gay marriage, but you wouldn't say that our country is homophobic would you?

You have no issue with restricting the rights of other minorities if they are deemed to harm society, though. I feel the same, except I feel gay marriage should stay banned too. I have consistent beliefs.

But I don't let that influence what society should do. I believe gay marriage should be banned for two men or two women.

I wasn't trying to use her as a justification, and in fact it seems to have made things worse, because now you all think I hate gays and I hate them because of her. this isn't true.

I don't think PDA's should be banned (i have no right to), I just don't like them and I still think they have the potential to cause harm, especially if I was raising kids and didn't want them seeing it.

Yet you believe that my views could harm children. You have no problem imposing your views on other kids, but you do have an issue with people against gay marriage wanting to protect their kids.

It is one way to avoid the problem, yes. No, it's not the victims fault, unless they were asking for it.

I believe my views are reasonable and I believe I am protecting the rights of the majority and preserving our great society and country.
EDIT: Thank you for the pos rep, I'm glad someone shares my views.

What if you didn't know you were gay?

Say you were born gay and you were a girl.

You never met another girl in your life and continued to not know a girl until you died.

So, you were constantly around boys and such..

would that not alter your perception? and possibly allow yourself to protect sexual or romantic thoughts onto a guy instead of girl.. and thus become 'straight'?
..
I don't know. This whole gay thing is confusing.

Homosexuality IS a choice. It is a choice, but addictive because it is influenced by your own emotions. It's similar addiction to cigarettes, you can not stop it without some help or some strong will.

I don't know about the HIV arguments, but about the homosexuals being allowed to marry argument. You know, I can understand where both sides are coming from with these arguments. Does that make me homophobic? The fact that I think perhaps homosexuals being allowed to marry would be a bad thing? I mean I admit I haven't got a definite opinion, but that's not because I dislike gays. It's because I'm not convinced it's wise to alter the whole concept of marriage. I'm absolutely sure I don't agree with homosexual marriages in churches (or other religious buildings where homosexuality isn't allowed), but homosexual marriage outside religion? well I understand both sides.

i thought you didn't dislike gays just gay marriage? it must be really hard to keep your "i'm not a homophobe, i like gays i just don't like seeing it because it disgusts me and makes me angry" "non homophobic" (cough) mask on all the time.
