Well, sure, and most laws are written for that purpose, to discourage certain behaviour. Obviously, laws can't be written to discourage being, i.e., a law establishing it illegal to be a woman.
C'mon, get with the program! Get with the homosexual agenda! Apparently it doesn't matter if you're quoting health stats, if the article is about homosexuality it can't reference the severe health hazards of the homosexual lifestyle, otherwise it's just plain wrong. Of course you won't get any valid reason why it's wrong, just that it's wrong. And propaganda.
Let's take a look at this religious based agenda from the article:
6. The rate of new HIV infections among men who have sex with men is nine times higher than among women and heterosexual men. (Centers for Disease Control, Media Center, 2002)8. Psychological health problems including multiple drug use, partner violence, history of childhood sexual abuse, and depression interface to sharply increase high-risk sexual behavior and HIV infection rates among homosexual and bisexual men in the U.S. (L. Linley, R. Stall, G. Mansergh, "New CDC Studies Shed Light on Facts Underlying High HIV Infection Rates Among Gay and Bisexual Men." http://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/pressrel/r020710.htm )
10. Research shows that homosexual men are not getting tested for HIV. A report from the Centers for Disease Control showed that more than three-quarters of the homosexual men studied were unaware they were carrying HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Ninety percent of homosexual black men, ages 15-29, who have the virus, did not know they had the virus until researchers told them. The figure for Hispanic homosexual men is 70 percent and for the white homosexual men 60 percent. (Centers for Disease Control, International AIDS Conference, Barcelona, Spain. July 7-12, 2002.)
I was unaware the CDC was religious based! There's more but history tells me you're not interested.
I have known and currenlty know homosexuals who have successfully come to grips with their problem, and have stayed far away from that lifestyle. They go so far as to marry, have kids, and enjoy heterosexual sex.
The problem this article fails to mention is that there is far more to the homosexual agenda than just wanting to "normalize" same-sex unions --to understand fully what they are after, you must understand that the underlying motive of the homosexual lifestyle is a bizzare combination of rebellion and woundedness. The typical source of the "wound" that the male homosexual suffers from is usually some sort of deviant relationship with their father. It ranges from a father who is abnormally critical of their son, to a father who was simply not there for their son, either to do divorce, death, or just emotional distance. (Not to mention fathers who have forced sexual relations with their sons...)
Because of the emotional wounds received at the hands of their father, they do what they can to find acceptance and love from other males. Sadly, the line between acceptance and sex often gets blurred, and the homosexual lifestyle takes root. But due to the tremendous cultural condemnation for homosexuality, they often find themselves not only desiring male acceptance, but become "rebels without a cause" knowing that society looks down it's nose at their lifestyle. Hence, they choose to rebel against society rather than the more painful and difficult task of changing their lifestyles. In sex with other males, they find the acceptance and the love that was denied to them from their fathers; as bizzare as that sounds. Giving up that lifestyle without first healing the wound that caused it, only results in emotional pain and suffering.
I'm no scientist: the information above is what I've found out from former homosexuals themselves.
If anything, this speaks to the non-negotiable need for fathers (and strong fathers at that) to be actively and positively involved in the lifes of their sons. This simple remedy, more so than anything else, does more to "prevent" homosexuality than anything else, including religious indoctrination.
The attack on men, and fatherhood in particular, in our Western society, is doing more to undermine the mental and emotional health of humanity as a whole than anything else. The rebels attack that which is really the thing that will do them (and us) most good.
The rebirth of goddess worship is the latest in this attack, and can be most clearly seen in the recently published and very popular novel "The Da Vinci Code."
You bring up an interesting point. Almost all the laws in respect to homosexual activity (sodomy laws for example) are directed to male homosexuals. Women homosexuals generally are seldom arrrested or charged with any misconduct except in the cases of children.
It is for the above reason that Freud concluded that men wrote the laws to control their own unconscious inclination to act out their hidden homosexual inclinations. This theory is unimportant perhaps but id does explain some facets of the law, men and homosexuality.
We are physically born either male or female, the rest is all attitude.
you can't argue with that, we are born with very specific parts and components which have a specific purpose and fit together very well.
And I think we are the only species which aborts our young in utero our most vulnerable, ask your liberal friend about that and see if he can argue that point.
And we have the nerve to call the other species "animals" I wonder what God calls us?
