'Gay Days'? The reality of gender-disorientation pathology - (strong arguments!)

TOWNHALL.COM ^ | JUNE 3, 2005 | MARK ALEXANDER

I've always surmised that homosexuality is a gender glitch. Like any other anomaly, it is an inexplicable variation from the norm. What baffles me is how 3% of any population can manage to gain such an unbalanced amount of political clout, which appears to result in unfair favoritism toward a very tiny minority, often intruding upon the equally valid rights of the vast majority not to be offended by ever-increasingly blatant public displays of unattractive, (often nauseating) "in your face" deviant behavior.

Farmers constitute approximately the same percentage of the population, and they certainly get most of what they want from Congress. I don't understand it either. Although they're not trying to force us to accept their lifestyle, either.

It's simple. Perverted heterosexuals are the enablers of homsexual perversion, and they consititute a far greater proportion of the population, and a larger menace by their sheer numbers.

[lilylangtree]

You make a valid point. I believe homosexuality is a choice. Just like children, this "in your face accept my choice" is confrontational and gathers more steam by using the radical approach. The more controversy, the more publicity, the more homos extract from society because people don't want the publicity and are afraid to stand up and say to "NO" to this aberrant behavior.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

He did an excellent job on this article. Unlike some, he doesn't go too far with the "end homophobia" nonsense. Instead he clearly states that the arguments are all framed dishonestly. Then he addresses the real issue with love and compassion -- and truth! These are not contrary concepts.

Sometimes, the person is born with a gender glitch, but there are many cases of learned homosexual behavior that the media ignores. Just as a pedophile has most likely been abused himself, a person can be enticed into the homosexual way of life.

I agree that homosexual behavior is certainly a choice, and I think that taking part in the gay "lifestyle" is a choice. However, I do think that for a man to be attracted to another man instead of a woman there has to be something wrong (physiologically, chemically) with him. I often compare it with an alcoholic: he may be physically more prone to abusing alcohol, but he had to decide at some point to pick up the bottle.

Yes. In the name of "inclusion" they are turning their backs on needy people. Imagine if we were talking about alcoholics here. No one would think you help them by ensuring that they ignore the problem and even celebrate their alcoholism. And no one would demand that school children be instructed to respect alcoholics.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Homosexuality is a learned experience, resulting from an early-childhood sexual trauma.

This early sexual trauma creates guilt, shame and confusion in the child who then struggles with making the transition from same-sex attraction in childhood to opposite-sex attraction in adolescence.

I've yet to encounter a homosexual who wasn't abused/sexualized at a tender age.

This is why homosexual adoption is child abuse.

Disneyland knows what it's doing -- get 'em young.

[walden]

The homosexuals are a tiny minority, but they are supported by people who are anti-religion or anti-God, by people who like a sexually libertine culture, and by people who, for one reason or another, dislike the nuclear family and want to de-stabilize it (those reasons can be political, as in socialist thought or personal, relating to their own poor family experiences.) So, add all those folks up, and start telling everyone else that to not support the homosexual agenda is "unfair" and "unkind", and you can come up with a powerful political movement.

I just hope and pray we can stop it. But if we can't, I predict that in 50 or 100 years, either the U.S. will have split into two different countries, or people all over the country will have self-segregated their communities. I just don't know how much longer people of such divergent views can continue to live side by side, and I can tell you for sure that raising good, healthy children these days is hellishly difficult. I just thank God my children are young adults now, and I hope and pray that when they have children, if they do (and I hope they do), they'll be able to do it in a good community.

" Just as a pedophile has most likely been abused himself, a person can be enticed into the homosexual way of life."

Interesting point. I heard last night (on Fox News), that Michael Jackson's first publicly known alleged victim, Jordie Chandler, now 24 (and with a $20+ million payoff by MJ).."has yet to succeed in developing a satisfactory heterosexual relationship. The reporter didn't say whether or not Jordie has drifted in the other direction since his alleged introduction into gay behavior by the self-styled "King of Pop." (BTW, what an annoyingly ostentatious title that is!)

I think, sadly, that some people are gay from birth. Like a someone with black skin or a congenital birth defect, they simply can't help it.
For whatever reason, God made some people love their same sex. It shouldn't be a crime and these people should be accorded all the same rights that others have.
I am sure I will get a lot of grief about this, but that is my feeling and it is based on no small ammount of personal experience and study on the matter.
I think 3% is probably a conservative estimate, but it wouldn't matter if it was 1% or .001%, they should have the same rights the rest of us do.

This includes the right to marry.

Do we have a Log Cabin Republican here?

Horrible comparison. Where's your head?

[Charles Wickman]

Someone in my family (no names please) has struggled with their gayness for most of their life.

[Charles Wickman]

I am not saying dark skin or a birth defect is a bad thing...you imply that.

You implied, I inferred.

[Charles Wickman]

My mistake!

Is this a constitutional "right" you are talking about?
