I have frequently thought of homosexual behavior in terms of an addiction, like alcholism. I appreciate your insight.
Well...I didn’t necessarily say it was an addiction. My point was that what I’ve observed about homosexuality, and what I’ve experienced as an alcoholic seem to have a number of similarities...and you can draw your own conclusions from that, whether or not it’s an addiction. They are both compulsions to indulge in deviant behaviors, and I don’t mean “deviant” in a negative connotation, but merely that they “deviate” from the normal baseline. In other words, *something* compels the alcoholic and the homosexual to engage in abnormal and self-destructive behaviors. If the average homosexual’s experience is anything like mine with alcohol, they will find themselves seeking comfort and trying to fill a spiritual void in their behavior, and keep coming up empty until they confront it, accept the way they are, and choose to no longer be controlled by their inclinations. That’s why, for the discreet homosexual, I have pity and compassion. For the flaming agenda pusher who demands that society accept their behavior, I have the same contempt as I would have for a group insisting that alcoholics be exempted from DUI and public drunkeness laws because that’s “who they are.”
