official Gay/Homosexual Debate Thread

[kaiju_wars]

So yeah, they said to continue the debate, so lets continue the debate.

But can we please keep it respectful.

Ok, I think the first misconception we need to get cleared up is that homosexuality is a "lifestyle" or a choice. I know people were starting to respond to that, but it's a very basic factual matter for people to understand.

I just know he was the person you least expected to go gay. He was the type that would shoot himself, then one day, in the morning, he texts saying he decided to go gay...

I'm only going to say this once and then leave cause I'm not in the mood to get into an hour long debate.

He was in denial. A lot of gay men have even married women before finally coming to terms with their own sexuality. It's not that unheard of, a lot of people actually make it into their adulthood, long past puberty, and still have no clue what their sexual oration is.

In denial... or likely trying to "fake it." Some of my gay friends, before eventually deciding to come out, had decided they would pretty much live their lives as straight men--dating women, getting married to one, having kids, etc. simply because it would be easier than facing confrontations with family, discrimination from society, etc.

Oh boy.

There's four types of topics that never end well on TK: Ones about religion, politics, evolution and sexual orientation. This is not going to last more than a few pages.

I firmly believe that homosexuals deserve every right to happy, just like the rest of us. People should not be looked at any differently just because they like something different than most people.

That's really all I have to say on the subject.

Well part of that is, it's simply easier to be straight, and if you buy that being Gay is a choice that means it's reversible. Ergo, if they're raised to think they can choose to be gay, they think that they can choose to be straight too.

Mind you, at some point in time it wins out. It's just part of who they are, and in my experience once they except it, they get happier with their life over all.

I don't see what's the big deal about sexual orientation. If someones prefers same gender instead opposite, that's fine in my book.

I see what you are saying, but where does that view, "oh I was born gay" come from? Isn't that a choice also... I mean, it can go on and on, and make a circle, so to say.

[Jomei]

It's kind of just common sense, man. You generally don't "choose" what you're drawn to. I'm sexually interested in women. Some men like other men. Some like both men and women. Some like... maybe neither?

Scientific studies also seem to suggest that orientation is a result of a complex array of factors--but not a conscious choice.

That and as much confrontation as gays will get in some places, why would they choose it?

[Living Corpse]

That would be asexual. Or sometimes someone is just attracted to that one person, doesn't matter if it's the hottest man in the world, Lisa won't care unless it's Bob. I have no idea what the latter is called. Obsession?

For my opinion on the situation.

[TheSecondComing]

I have several gay friends and a gay cousin, and people try to tell me they deserve less rights because they like a different style of sex than me?

Bitch, please.

[Mitchal]

I have plenty of gay/dyke friends. So you can probobly guess what my stance on the issue is.

Also, it's kinda cool that lesbians have better taste in film than straight women do. Atleast in my circle anyway.

I agree. Homophobes need to just shut up and go away.

[GojiFan]

I'm perfectly friendly with several gay guys. I wouldn't exactly say I am close friends with them, but that has more to do with personalities and the people we hang out with rather than the difference in sexuality. Homosexual couples should have the right to marry in this country and adopt children, and I don't understand why it upsets people for them to want it.

[NSZ]

I respect those that prefer the same gender, and I believe they have every right to get legally married and adopt. They have just as much a right to be happy as the rest of us.

[Legionmaster]

You guys all suck. There's no debate going on.

Bible says gay is wrong. Boom. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

[RedZillaKing]

Two of my three best friends are gay. I'm oblivious so I had to be slapped in the face with it. It bothers me not. It did bug me a bit that they both waited so long to tell me, but I'm over it. It must've been difficult for them both.

[yaburu]

My views on this subject are very, very simple.

Gays are human beings. I treat them as such.

[Megalon-5]

Gays are people too and they deserve respect like any other human being. It's as simple as that.

[Jomei]

Rooodyyyy.....



I'm sure you have a few thoughts.
