I once came across some show where the twin of a gay guy was browbeaten that he must be gay too and was just in denial. It was disgusting.

Would you like your child to be called a deviant at school? Surely, if you had a child, he would “deviate” from the “norm” on some scales. We all do.

Yet as I said, the word deviant has a pejorative aura. You cannot deny it. Pointless to use the dictionary. Call Sarah Palin’s adorable child “retarded” to her. See what I mean? Words have connotations as well as definition.

Oh, and calling me very liberal? Funny. Why would I be a 14 year donor to this site if I were liberal? Really????

There is absolutely NOTHING scientifically that points to “born that way”. It is a liberal meme. And you buy it. Their propaganda book After the Ball even talks about it being false but that pushing that view will forward their agenda. And you emotionally cling to a lie.

Sexuality is a behavior. Downs has a physical cause. Your attempt to equate the two is disgusting.

Your view on homosexuals is very liberal and emotional. It is not fact based.

Free Republic will not allow the homosexual agenda to be pushed or defended on this site. YOU KNOW THAT.


I am not pushing the homosexual agenda. If agreeing with the guy who wonders why freepers all pile on to a thread about someone homosexual to get to cheerfully call him a fudge packer, faggot, etc, makes me pushing the gay genes, please throw me off the site.

I am personally offended by slurs, even those which don’t apply to me. I would like not to repeat history. I remember the quote, “First, they came for the Jews...” I am offended by slurs against men, whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, Christians, any innocents who are members of a tribe, culture, etc. I do wonder why FR allows slurs against individual and innocent gay people.

Also, if Shep (I don’t watch him much any more) is pushing a gay agenda, I have no problem if people poke fun at him - for that. But I think he has been closeted on air?

We can easily agree to disagree on the origins of sexual or gender disfunctions.

Yes you do. You continually spout the "born that way" lie. I remember the quote, “First, they came for the Jews...” I am offended by slurs against men, whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, Christians, any innocents who are members of a tribe, culture, etc.

And here you are! Equating a deviant sexual behavior with religion and race. You've been brainwashed very well.

I believe the truth. You bought the propaganda.

You are using emotion, not fact, to characterize me. I am not being “disgusting.” You put that in there because the subject matter involves sex.

To me, both involve behavior and both come from physical causes. I’ve worked with little boys who prefer girl’s toys and seem effeminate. They don’t know sex exists. They did indeed come that way. I am looking at evidence and you are using emotion and your own choice. I believe children born “gender different” and with Down syndrome both need our compassion because neither chose the way they are. And they are both precious.

Politics don’t enter into my thoughts on the origins of sexual dysfunctions. I have studied the brain and I have studied children. That is where I make my opinions. We neither of us know for sure.

Sexuality is a behavior. It is NOT the same as a physical handicap or Downs Syndrome. YOU equated the two. I did not.

No, not equating. To say that I was equating is a poor debate point. I was only saying that to SLUR people is wrong. Period. Would you slur a Christian Scientist or a Greek Orthodox? They were not born with their religions. Come on, you’re getting sloppy.

MY ENTIRE POINT joining this thread was my unhappiness, shared by a few hardy fellow conservatives, at FReepers loving to use ugly slurs against homosexuals. I don’t feel it enhances us a decent people.

I AM AGAINST SLURS. Slurs help people put others into camps. Slurs are evil.

The post you are referring to was about effeminate boys, pre-sex, choosing girly toys or pastimes. That boy at age 4 playing how he wishes is as innocent as his buddy at age 4 with Down syndrome.

“Deviancy is a word fraught with value judgment. As if you are better than those you are calling, basically, freaks.

That is prejudiced and unkind. I agree homosexuality is a brain condition. One completely not the person’s fault. Some freepers suffer depression. Some have bipolar. We don’t single them out as freaks. Why do you?

Because it involves something you think is “yucky.” Believe me, your private sexual moments or thoughts are ALSO yucky to others.”

The problem is no one with bipolar or in depression holds on pride parade celebrating their condition. While I have some sympathy for your description of their condition (although I don’t completely agree with it), their attitude toward their condition is what makes them “deviant”.

A homosexual who genuinely seeks means to if not cure, at least manage and control their condition, the same way a bipolar person would, would not be a “deviant” in my view.

Then you had better wake the hell up because it sure is a political football.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
