I am puzzled, a group comprised of less than 2% of the population, that has made a poor choice resulting in an average thirty years loss of life span, that can not reproduce so has to recruit, insists on dictating to 98% of the population how that 98% should conduct their lives. Good luck with that. NOT!
The life spans of homosexuals is much shorter than that of the population as a whole. The last I saw was thirty years shorter both male and female. With aids some what under control that will have changed some but I have not seen anything on that yet. Numerous studies/surveys have found that homosexuals most certainly do not exceed 2% of the population of this nation. Now homosexuals have every freedom that any other citizen has in this nation. What they seem to want is hyper rights that overwhelm the rights of non homosexuals. They want to inflict their sexual habits on children as young as six years of age. They want to teach the “joys” of anal sex and fisting to Jr high students. They want to fondle each other in public. They want the age of consent lowered to twelve. And each of the last four sentences constitute recruiting.
This legislation constitutes recruiting. This legislation clearly shows there is no minimum intelligence required to be a politician.
I think I saw 10 years ago some CDC statistics that puts the median age of mortality for gay men at around 44 years old. What was interesting Actually sad & tragic!) was it was not significantly different from that of gay men with AIDS.
Just 1% in our nation is equal to the population of Iowa or that of Alaska, Wyoming, Washington D.C., North Dakota and Vermont all together.
If you reached 3%, that population fits between the 10th and 11th most populous states, or approximately that of New Jersey and nearly North Carolina.
Your statement that homosexuals do not reproduce is biologically false: they are not sterile although I suspect you wish they were. Many have had children the old fashioned way. Never mind; you believe in "recruitment."
You obviously believe in a myth that, until someone intervenes, all children are heterosexual and none comes into adolescence to discover he or she doesn't fit neatly into the "boy like girls" and "girls like boys" world you've taught them. You teach a lie. You leave them confused, afraid. They hide. They become vulnerable targets to those wanting to reach them with "the truth" which may not be Truth but, rather, savvy social-political enlistment that pigeon holes them into an intolerant "gay community" commanding rejection of family, embrace of liberal progressivism, rejects Faith values and trades celibacy for hedonism.
You totally ignore the larger "99%" heterosexual culture also suffers this seduction because you're hyper-focused on raging at a few homosexual trees all while ignoring the forest.
Congregation after congregation fails to provide a life path for homosexuals (even those who don't "practice") and children facing their own orientation issues at puberty. We see the "God Hates Fags" Westboro Baptist crazies with whom you might identify based on your statements. We see other, like the Catholics, who preach disinterested friendship and calling homosexuals to chastity. There's those, like some on this thread, who believe in unproven "reparative" or "conversion" therapies but, when put to the test, wouldn't want their daughter marrying an "ex-gay" or their granddaughter parented by an "ex-lesbian" nor would they take on such a relationship themselves. Some others take on the Left's permissive attitude in spite of their holy writ.
In that light, it's no surprise the Left is so successful with the young. Some of those loudest claiming to be on the Right are obsessed, bumbling and befuddled, full of anger, blind rage and accusations but no solutions, no alternatives. There's a failure of leadership. The believed they've been lied to, or worse, and the Left feeds that thought process to hook more future voters for their agenda.
They get them at the perfect time in a human life cycle too. It's puberty, when they're hormonal, they desire independence from their parents, to go their own way, make their marks on the world, to no longer be controlled by arbitrary authority.
If the bill prevents quacks from getting rich by offering false hope and exacerbating the internal conflict within young lives, it's doing everyone a service. There's no medical science in the 'cure' column. 'Cure' snake-oil fads preying on the faithful are shown to be, at best, ineffectual coping systems.
