Have you ever witnessed someone with a mental illness being called crazy?

No, I would choose to be more discrete with a person who did not choose to be abnormal.

Being queer is an abomination.

Nonsense, being gay is either
A) a perversion chosen by some , and if that's the case they have a right to their consensual perversion.
or
B) A mental illness which should be treated.
There are no other options

Yes, let's ignore the fraught history of the use of that word to apply to humans with deformities and/or other abnormalities. Everyone - including you - knows that it is coarse and unkind to use it like this. If any of you had a child that was struggling with this, it seems highly unlikely to me you would encourage that child to be referred to as a "freak".
We are being forced to accept this freakish behavior as normal and acceptable. It is not. They are the ones drawing the line in the sand. If my kid chose to act out in this way, I would still love them and not call them a freak (even though they are) but I would also tell them to get used to it.

Why not choose to spread some civility to your neighbor as you would extend to your own child? You know, Golden Rule and all.

first lets recognize that it's actually a choice of consensual perversion. Is your choice of consensual perversion an abomination? No

quote:I suppose what the other poster should have done was clarify to whom homosexuality is considered an abomination. I assumed based on the mere usage of the word "abomination" that the context was a religious one and therefore the user likely means that homosexuality is an abomination to God and should be to Christians, also.
of course not, but it is not an "abomination"
If that context is accurate, I would agree with the other person that homosexuality is an abomination (disgusting and intolerable act) to God and to Christianity.

What are you talking about? Is this specifically about gender identification? Because I certainly don't see people suffering from BP, depression, and other mental illnesses asking to be put on a pedestal or praised. Most just want fricking help. As for the whole gender identity thing, I don't see that as mental illness per se. I think there are people who are truly wired in their psyche differently from the anatomy they were born with. I've got no problem with them being what ever they want to be. But no, they don't get to demand special treatment or get to be heralded as some sort of heroes in their bravery. Just do your own thing quietly, no one fricking cares.
THIS!!!....except 100% opposite of all of it

Anything other than heterosexual behavior.

I believe that aberrant sexual behavior can be both genetic and learned behavior. I also believe that one can choose to not act out on both.
I have a really bad temper, got in trouble when I was young because of it. I believe I am genetically predisposed to anger, but I chose in my teens to learn to control those impulses. I still struggle with it.
If I hurt someone because I was made that way, can I say it's not my fault?

Not the same
I've heard it described a chemical abnormality in the brain or something to that effect. Isn't that a mental illness?
quote:
and they are not born that way
Of course not, but people who believe they are use this line of reasoning. I'm simply pointing out that those people are basically saying gays are born with mental illness.

As do I. However, I don't like the word "aberrant". I also think with regard to homosexuality, it's likely to be overwhelmingly genetic. Also, sexuality is way more fluid than these rigid categories. e.g. Is it "aberrant" for me - an adult male - to like to witness acts of lesbianism? (something I've found that nearly 100% of males like.)

Sure, although if someone asked you to choose not to act on your heterosexual impulses, that would be an extremely tall order.

It would be your fault, but I would also think you deserved sympathy vis a vis the person who was not unlucky enough to be born with a bad temper.

Mike pence discovered the cure for the gay. It’s caused by a voltage deficiency in their brain

Being gay is also a mental illness.

Always with this dumb shite. It’s incredible you don’t understand the difference between two consenting adults who are the same gender and predators who want to frick kids.

We only had one gay person reply.
Is that all we have on TD?
I watch TV and assume half the population is gay.

The lesbian, gay, trans ... movement is trying to force me to accept their way of life as normal and equivalent to heterosexuality. I cannot.

I think the word aberrant is appropriate.

Under God's law it is acceptable to act out on my hetero tendencies within the confines of my marriage. When I step out of those confines (and I have) I sin no differently than any other sexual sin.

When I sin, I face the consequences. God does have sympathy for us when we ask to be forgiven (JESUS). Some people do the same. I just don't think we deserve forgiveness when we look God in the face (or another human being) and try to deny we have offended him.
This is the whole problem for me, Big Scrub, I simply cannot let another person force me to deny what I believe about God. I simply cannot.
