“...What difference does it make? I’m not arguing that homosexuality is good. I’m just pointing out that to call it so simply on the basis that it isn’t normal makes no sense. There is no intrinsic value to normality...”
I am simply stating a fact. I not moralizing the subject. There are physical differences in the brains of homosexuals. That is the point of my statement.
Red hair is ‘abnormal’? Pray tell what is ‘normal’ hair color?
You are mixing apples and oranges. There is intrinsic value to normative ranges of biologic function. Ask any diabetic or better yet, hold your breath for 5 minutes. You will quickly learn the intrinsic value of normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin.
Homosexuality is a deviation from normal sexual stimulation. Regardless of any PhD opinion, that is simply common sense. A specie cannot continue to reproduce and exist if all its members practice homosexuality. Other factors may contribute, but the driving force is abnormal brain function.
That does not make these people any less valuable to society nor do they deserve scorn. One of my dearest friends and former supervisor is a retired Marine Officer with 3 combat tours in Nam. He’s also gay; been with the same partner for 20 years. His partner is a scientist with NASA. They are valuable, productive citizens.
they may be productive citizens in spite of being homo if in fact they stay in the closet. Scandal ensues if they try to pass off their problem as “normal” in front of impressionable people
your argument: will you apply it for drunkeness, racketeering, organized crime, polygamy, fornicators, and many other social evils. Many of these people have nice productive careers too (besides organized crime)
Hey I know lots of drunks who had nice careers. My wife worked with many lesbos, and they were very unhappy people outwardly, but I guess rare exceptions as with your friends mean we should change on a whim 2000+ years of experience.
I’d say 25 years of AIDS, millions of dead young men, absolutely filthy unnatural behavior, billions of dollars of spent to cure/treat a disease easily prevented show the “Fruit” of unleashed homo behavior. Hard to believe as a society that after all this, we are now going to remove any last vestige of stigma.
