You’re aware that there are gay women, right? And gay men that don’t practice anal sex?

And besides, what is the bizarre fixation on what they do? Are you worried about what I do in the bedroom with my girlfriend? What difference does it make?

The irony is that I’ve been one of the first as a SECULAR person to say that I think homosexuality is not genetic but something that happens to form preferences early on. I also tend to think that many (though not most) homosexuals are ‘created’ by abuse or strange circumstances in their upbringing. But many things are formed in such a way—it doesn’t mean we discriminate or hate those people because they’re eccentric or even practice *GASP* anal sex.

I remember a thread not too long ago where ignorant people repeatedly tried to tell me that homosexual practices were a sign of the decadent decline of Hellenic, Roman and Tokugawa Japan-—instead of the FACT that these things happened from nearly the beginning, while these civilizations were on the ASCENT. So focused were some people on their bugaboo homosexuality that they couldn’t get past the fact that practices and beliefs varied over time. It’s not that I think we should BE like these civilizations, it’s just that only a fool would think Hellenic civilization or Rome’s decline had to do with homosexual practices, even as a symptom. No more than infanticide was (which IS immoral as there is a human victim.)

Na, if the gay mafia wants to be "left alone" in their bedrooms, they sure have a strange way of showing it. For the last 20 years they have been harrassing us for some kind of weird acceptence... And speaking of bizzare: http://www.folsomstreetfair.com/index.php Homosexual Convention held each year with over 500,000 attending.

It's not a fixation. It is just that the practice of homosexual behavior is the ONLY thing that identifies a homosexual.

When someone claims to be "homosexual" they are stating to the world "I choose to put my privates in places where they don't belong". You can't separate the defining characteristic of the class from the class.

Years ago the big cry from those who choose to practice this perversion was "What we do in our bedroom is our own business". Now they want to do it in their bedrooms, on the streets, in the schools and they want us to approve and enable it.

The "love that dare not mention it's name" has become the "perversion that won't STFU"
