Anyone who defines themself in society by what they do with their penis or vigina has something much greater to work out than just ridicule.
Do you not identify yourself as a heterosexual?
Maybe the combination of extreme narcissism and self-loathing creates a volitile mixture inside them that has to explode on occasion?
Your original point was that sexual preference was chosen, unlike being black.
My counterpoint was that being gay is hardwired at a very deep level, and invited you to consider how hardwired it is by imagining that you had to force yourself to love the same gender in order to comply with societal standards of right and wrong.
I'm sorry if it was too much to ask you to go through that thought-exercise. Or would be easy for you to be attracted to the same sex? Either way, if you don't want to respond, I understand.

Any manner of deviant behavior is claimed to be hardwired. Check with the homopeds, some of which have raped dozens of young boys. They just can't seem to quit; i.e. they are hardwired. Nevertheless, that is not an excuse for such.
I have seen no mention of the adverse effects on the health of male homosexual behavior. Check the CDC stats on average lifespan of about 45 years, on par with IV drug use. We all get stuck with paying the bill for perverted behavior. ;
America lost common sense in the 60's with the hippies and other peace loving socialists.
I believe it to be a spiritual disorder. When you are not aligned with God's Spirit, your spirit can go awry for any number of disorders. When you fail to fill that odd-shaped, God-shaped hole in your 'heart,' with HIM, you fill it with anything or everything else to fulfill you. Homosexuality is only one abberation.
As an antiques dealer, I met and liked a lot of gays. One used to give me nice jewelry whenever we did a show together. He was a good person and so was his partner. My brother-in-law was gay and he was nicer to me than any of his brothers and sisters, including my HUSBAND at the time. I loved him and was very sad when he passed away. What I hate is the gay agenda, not the gay person him/herself. Working at a liberal college, I knew/know many lesbians and gays and they're all nice people. I just never got in their faces (or feces) to cause problems. I just decided to love them where they were. That's God's solution to my feelings about them.
And very unsanitary--yucko.
You could NEVER marry a black person or you'd be 'kicked out of town' nor could a protestant marry a Catholic or vice versa. You could count the number of blacks and asians who lived in my hometown on one finger.
Amen, MIA. We're children of the living LORD.
In the end of the article he points out that homosexuality was once classed as a mental disorder. His point is: Should mentally ill people be teaching children or adopting.
You'll have to come up with a better argument than "because I've succeeded in pissing them off"."
You've made an erroneous assumption. I don't think there are many of us (blacks) fighting to adopt white children. Also, very few things offend us more than people trying to equate us with homosexuals.
The problem is that homosexuals are a group of people who identify themselves by their depraved and deviant acts, and they are trying to influence other people's children by working in the public indoctrination (school) system.
Their aberrant and perverse behavior alone should be enough to disqualify them from being allowed near children. The fact that they identify themselves by their degenerate acts should be an indication of their lack of fitness to teach children.
Excellent comments, well stated.
Yes,it was a pretty myopic way to live and hardly a realistic preparation for the"real"world.
While I diasagree with government getting into the business of mandating"diversity"and think that the whole concept of"multiculturalism"has been abused by the PC dogmatists,the bottom line is that I enjoy living and working around others not of my ethnic or economic background.
It can get sticky and tense sometimes.No doubt about it.Yet the Great American Experiment of people all over the world joining together to build this very unique cultural and ethnic mosaic(sorry for the expression.I don't like David Dinkins either)is like no other in history.
That's right. America IS unique and I love it. I was brought up in a pretty white town but when I went to work at the university, I was blessed by all the different colors and ethnic backgrounds. My black studies people were wonderful to me and I loved my students, too. God is color blind. I wish we were. Sigh.
