what do u guys think of homosexual relationships ?

I dont think there is a society no.......... make one!

I've noticed you posting your anti-homosexual opinions where the chance arises on these forums, so your views are clear. I just wondered if you could explain the basis of them?

its also my opinion that as people, the primary aim is to create the next generation.

Better not get frisky with glitter then.

Well I want to! But I don't know how... :'( and anyways, I think the gays are under-represented in numbers on this forum so we might not get enough people...

technik; hey, im personally not gay but i can imagine someone who is taking offence at that but i suppose at least you are trying to be polite.
I don't think that is about logic or whatever, i mean, how often have you known love to be logical?
As people we are born with consciousness, meaning, unlike animals, we have a right to choose who we like, what we like etc. It is not up to anyone to encourage anybody on their sexuality, it is a choice people make for themselves, and it doesn't need to impact on you in anyway at all.

Technik you seem to believe that sexuality is everything, and that reproduction is the sole purpose of life.

"my only comfort is the knowledge that they are a tiny minority" - fcks sake, do you really think about it that much?! Why do you have such issues with it?!

I don't see how you think homosexuality is immoral. Is that because people have a stereotype of gay people sleeping around and getting up to dodgy stuff?

I find your comment about homosexuality being immoral quite offensive.

nicely put

Yes but your opinion seems irrational. I don't think heterosexuality is immoral/irrational, it's just a sexuality. You can't really justify the statement:


"Homosexuality is immoral" as that would be collective for all homosexuals. The individual, of course, can be immoral, but it's unfair and wrong of you to state that it is immoral in general.

Speaking of gays - is there a TSR LGBTSoc? If not, there should be and I should be the presidente!

perhaps those on the other side of the fence would care to explain their position. seems its always me having to explain mine...

So what you're saying is that each time there is another son, he becomes "less male" so to speak...

Does this apply to females??

Here goes.

I think homophobia is an unscientific outlook. The fact that homosexuality has been observed in the animal kingdom, and that certain biological studies have found distinctions between heterosexual and homosexual individuals shows that it is not a conscious decision, and morality becomes rather misplaced. There must be a function for this prevalence in a population of a species.

For example:

Men with more than one older brother are observed to be exposed to more androgen whilst developing in the womb. If this were the case, then you could explain it in terms of Darwinism. If a particularly fertile female had given birth to more than two sons, the body remembers to expose the subsequent foetus to high levels of androgen to discourage it from reproducing and over-population.

The genetic material seeming to determine homosexuality (a region named Xq28) was found to be the same in 33 out of 40 case studies. Statistically speaking, this can’t be ignored.

Interesting reads (and my sources): here and here.

i wasnt aware androgen had any bearing on "picking" who is homosexual or not. isnt androgen just a steroid base for masculinity? a la the anabolic steroids given to athletes?

There's a correlation between high levels of androgen in the womb and homosexuality. I can't explain why, I'm no expert on hormones.

The correlation suggests it's an influencing factor, rather than any kind of "picking". The nature versus nurture debate takes over at this point. Sure, in human soceity nurture may supress homosexuality in some instances; however in other species homosexual behaviour has been noted. In this instance there is a less advanced social system, and the suppression would surely be minimal. Thus, it is a naturally occuring phenomena.
