The definition I posted was of perversion (i.e. behavior), not perverts (people), and he ignores how former homosexuals describe the lifestyle.

"Perversion" doesn't exist in a vacuum. The PERSON engages in the BEHAVIOR. It is the PERSON that upsets you---because he or she engages in the behavior.

This is another example of your desire to categorize entire groups of strangers, about whom you know nothing whatsoever. Most Americans believe in making judgments about INDIVIDUALS. We assign blame or guilt or make moral judgments about INDIVIDUALS whom we come to know as HUMAN BEINGS---not perjorative labels.

The content of one's character, one's moral and religious beliefs, one's values, one's political ideas and objectives --- these are all things that must be determined on an INDIVIDUAL basis --- not by a mindless group label or caricature.

If I want to know who "Scripter" is --- I must sit down and talk to Scripter. I can't know what is in Scripter's heart, mind, and soul simply by consulting a label or opening a dictionary.

By contrast, apparently you think individual judgments are inappropriate. It is easier (and more productive) to characterize an entire class of total strangers as depraved, sexual deviants who engage in and celebrate perversion. That exhausts every possible option you need to consider about those persons.

Shame on you!

Well, an entire class of people whose sole commanlity is the practice and "celebration" of sexual perversion bring on the characterization all by themselves. They don't need any outside help from anyone else.

Oh, I guess you can't respond with any greased pig verbiage any more. Too bad.

Apparently Ernie.cal can't separate the person from the behavior. And it's the behavior that upsets me, if I may - not the person.

All this time and hundreds of posts later, you still refuse to address my question. You must address the question, otherwise you can bellow all you want to - you have no case. The reason you refuse to answer the question is because you cannot, and so you choose to instead pretend I didn't ask it - because you know it shows how implausible your whole argument is.
