Marriage or not, why do people oppose g@ys anyway?

They fear teh gays will take their womens...wait...that's not right...leaves more womens...I have no idearawsavon

Spread their gayness to the women maybe? Convince them that hetero guys are pigs? I dunno, makes no sense to me.

Because it is an unhealthy way of life...besides the fact that it goes against my religious beliefs..

I agree my a philosophical/ethical/whatever standpoint, but unfortunately I dont see a lot of other options.

Eh, I don't see it as hating, I defer to the logic of (speaking of gays) Foucault. Society defines truth, defines what is good and what is lamentable. Defining prejudice as lamentable is simply changing the discourse of society in order to counteract the discourse which supported the prejudice in the first place.

Well, I think we just have to point out WHY they're wrong, as after all I think that's where the distinction lies, prejudice is based on hegemony and ignorance, or in other words it's arbitrary, whereas what Foucault would call the will to truth appeals to reason. But no, I don't feel sorry for calling them out on it, it's the only way anything's ever going to change. If we don't then it's simply a way of validating their views.

I have nothing against homosexuals, but I am personally opposed to homosexuality because I see it as a flaw, and I don't like the way it has been glorified as something "special". I'm a guy who thinks men should be men and women should be women. When a man isn't attracted to women, and doesn't feel the most natural drive to reproduce, something is wrong. I guess i'm one of those "family values" people your parents warned you about.fidosim

[QUOTE="F1_2004"]OK don't get so stuck up about the wording, disgusted is too strong a word for what I was trying to say. If public nudity is focing the issue out in the open, then isn't gays protesting and rallying out in the open and on the news forcing the issue? Isn't two dudes making out in public forcing the issue? As soon as you make it known to the public you're essentially forcing it on others... "we're here, we're queer get used to it" or something like that is their slogan, is it not?F1_2004

So what are we going to do, ban anything that makes anyone uncomfortable? In that case let's not have women wearing anything suggestive, let's not have people wear shirts with anything that could be offensive, let's not let anyone wear anything that makes reference to religion, let's not allow anyone to show sings of affection to anyone else, you see where I'm going with this? If you see two homosexuals making out just look away, same as most people might to with hetero couples, problem solved. That's what the OP was trying to say, it only really affects you if you want it to affect you.

We live in a society, with social norms, social pressure and all that.If you're going to start arguing about what people aren't allowed to find unacceptable, you're first going to need a radical change in how we behave as social creatures.

Well who decides what is and is not acceptable, and why does homosexuality fall in with what's offensive while heterosexuality falls in with what's accpetable? What good reason is there to seperate the two groups in terms of being accepting?

I have nothing against gays. I'll admit I don't feel the most comfortable around two guys making out, but then most people don't like it when a straight couple makes out in public either. There's really no reason why gay couples shouldnt have all the same rights as straight couples. But I'd be careful about hating on the haters, so to speak. The solution to ignorance and hate isn't more ignorance and hate.

I don't hate them..and do you just follow me around and debate with me?...Here are some facts:

Homosexual men are six times more likely to have attempted suicide than are heterosexual men

Studies indicate that between 25 and 33% of homosexual men and women are alcoholics

Statistics give evidence of widespread sexual compulsion among homosexual men. The Kinsey study cited above revealed that 43% of the homosexual men surveyed estimated that they had had sex with 500 or more partners; 28% with 1,000 or more partners

The same Kinsey study revealed that homosexual men have to a great extent separated sexuality from relationship. The survey showed 79% of the respondents saying that over half of their sexual partners were strangers. Seventy percent said that over half of their sexual partners were people with whom they had sex only once.Surely this is an indication of either deep dissatisfaction, or else terribly destructive hedonism.

Certain common homosexual practices are physically destructive apart from transmission of disease. Anal intercourse, an extremely common practice among homosexual men, can seriously damage internal tissues and can permanently weaken the anal sphincter, causing incontinence and other serious medical problems.

Over 70% of those who have contracted AIDS are homosexual or bi-sexual

In a survey reported in the official publication of the American Public Health Association, 78% of the gay respondents reported that they had been affected by a sexually transmitted disease at least one time.

Part of the problem is that many people believe that gay people chose to be gay That's simply not the case. While they may chose to practice certain things, they did not chose what they found attractive. That's how they were made. Homosexuality is a common occurrence across uncommon cultures. Ina sense, that's how god made them - if you believe in god.

There's a lot of correlation there, not much causation. There's no evidence that being homosexual causes them to suicide at a higher rate, single white males suicide at a higher rate then most, but that couldn't possibly tie into homosexual suicide rates could it? Being a Protestant also puts you in the highest rate of suicides, as does being rich, does that make being either of those inherently detremental? Also, do you think that, just a wild guess here, but maybe the fact that society is constantly putting their way of life down might have something to do with high suicide rates? I wonder how many of those suicides came from those church sponsored pray away the gay camps? I also find it highly ironic that you're saying being at a higher risk of suicide statistically is a slam against homosexuality after you just posted a poem about suicide on your blog, hypocritical much?

And how many hetero men and women are alcoholics? It's not a problem that is inherent to homosexuality.

How many partners did the Kinsey study say straight men had on average? It was a lot if I remember correctly. At any rate, what business is it of yours how much sex people are having, how do their sexual habits give you reason to judge them?

The Kinsey study was also done in the 70's. The issue of being removed from partners was one the homosexual community was aware of and concerned about and one that is nowhere near as prevalent now as it was then. And again, what business is it of yours? How about next time you're in a relationship I come by, analyze your behavior, and tell you whether you're, "flawed," or not?

Anal intercourse is practiced by more than just homosexuals, and again what business is it of yours? It's their choice.

Practicing safe sex prevents the spread of disease among any orientation, neither the problem nor the solution are inherent to heterosexuality.

How many heterosexuals have been affected by an STD? It's probably a lot, despite the antibiotics available diseases like ghonerrea and chlamidya are fairly common among all orientations.
