Need an explanation on homosexuality
Posted on 12/15/14 at 1:23 am
Posted on 12/15/14 at 1:23 am
I live in Alabama and my core principles are that homosexuality is wrong. I do not hate anyone, however I do not agree with the way of life.
It also isnt my business with any particular person specifically. I think everyone should be able to do what they want. I personally, just do not think it is right and unnatural.
Where I have a question is that I don't understand why calling someone who doesnt believe in homosexuality or is a homophobic, ignorant.
Please explain to me how that is ignorance. It is a perfectly acceptable personal preference on life that is justified by plenty of reasons given.
After all, everything pertaining to this line of politics is simply an opinion. Not a fact.

How is it "unnatural"? Does it not occur in nature?

Because they preach tolerance unless it goes against their point of view.

I'm sensing some contradiction inside of you.

Marriage is a social construction so it is perfectly reasonable to have society vote on how they want to define it.
The connection of marriage with individual rights is absolutely atrocious. Marriage is a unit created by society in order to bring about stability, the raising of children, and the passing on of values all encompassed by love that extends from husband to wife to daughter to son to dog to cat.
I don't think the federal government should take a stand on the issue, but you better damn well believe I am voting against it if it is on the ballot in my state.
I am sick and tired of marriage being connected to individual rights and passionate expressions of love felt by any two individuals. It is so much more than that. It is the most important social structure every designed by society. Where there are families, there is strength, loyalty, and a healthy teaching of morality passed onto children by parents.

Political society disagrees. Otherwise there would be no law against gay marriage. That is, of it being right or wrong. And yes it is right or wrong.

That is highly debatable

You're right. I'm ignorant on where the proper logic comes from, from people who use the term ignorant improperly. Only to use it to their advantage when it works for them and against others when it isn't. Always attempting to make it fit their novel perfectly. There is a word for that. Hypocritical.

I've already accepted I am ignorant to the issue at hand which is why homosexual supporters tend to use the term ignorant incorrectly. I'm simply attempting to gain some insight on why most think this is the proper term to use and for what reasons. Where does the root of lack of knowledge descend from when discussing one who is heterosexual's preference on life?

And how exactly does gay marriage contradict that? Unless you are saying "gay families" are incapable of providing strength, loyalty, and morality. Which would be absurd.
2 loving gay parents is better for a child then 2 aloof or messed up straight parents.

I think people believe this because a lot of people against gay marriage are filled with misconceptions about gay people. The vast majority of gay people are not like the ones depicted in the media at all. Most are pretty much exactly the same as their straight counterparts, until obviously it comes to the bedroom.
For a lot of people having a good friend or family member come out really changes their perspective on things.

Because you can't have babies with 2 penises you idiot.
I heard back in 3577 B.C. two lewd perverts invented a game called pin the tail on the donkey, they got drunk and woke up with sore bums, and the perversion was discovered.

First off, do you personally know any homosexuals? If not, maybe you should. They're not some sick, perverted immoral freaks like some religious people believe. They're no different from most people (except the really flamboyant ones).
It's not a "choice" as most religious people think. Every single gay person I know said they knew very young that they were gay. They don't just wake up one day and say, "Hey, I think I like dick instead of poon." No amount of praying or therapy will make them "not gay". If you really want to be a good Christian, just accept these facts and quit condemning their lifestyle and "love thy neighbor". (But not in the literal sense, cause that would be gay.)
I asked a gay friend of a friend once while we were at a club if he'd ever had sex with a woman. He said no and I said, "You should try it once, you might really like it." He says, "Have you ever had sex with a man?" I said, "Hell no." He says, "You should try it once, you might really like it." Me, "Touche'!"

Living your life based on a book written 3,000 years ago is more preposterous than "believing" in homosexuality.

How sad is it that people on this board will decry changing the definition of marriage without knowing the definition of things like "natural"?

I think you are all over the place with your OP... I don't think anyone on here, and I could be wrong, has said that you have to accept homosexuality, embrace it, etc... You can disagree with whatever you would like.
The issue that the pro-gay marriage crowd on here has is that people will go out of their way to deny others basic rights that they, themselves have, because of their sexuality. They think that gays being married somehow negatively affects their own marriage.

Once again, the same argument is made by some about pedophiles.
If you're stagement is true about homosexuality, why is their point about pedophiles not true?

It's a natural anomaly.
Like dwarfism, albinism, and other useless traits.

OP is all over the place and I really don't know where to start so I'll leave you with my clear definition of bigot.
You just become a bigot against homosexuals when you want to base public policy on your religious and/or socially conservative beliefs and/or homophobia, you become a bigot when you slander, defame and attempt to shame people as being gay and harass openly gay people.
If you aren't doing anything of the above, nobody really gives a shite about your opinion of gay people.

So if a heterosexual doesn't fully support the gay agenda you think they're a bigot.
Does that not also mean that a homosexual who does not support what can be described as the heterosexual agenda as a bigot as well?
