Homosexuals have never been accused of being something other than human
Not in the literal sense. But to the extent that certain segments of society feel that homosexuals are not entitled to the same rights and dignity as everyone else, much as the mentality towards slaves was, I think it's a very valid analogy.
everyone knows that homosexuals ...are mentally ill
Really??? That's a pretty bold statement. Pretty untrue also. Even the medical establishment would disagree.
It is a bold statement, and you're right, I should never say "everyone." However, the medical establishment would not disagree. The closest the APA has done is to say that if the person has a maladaptation, and doesn't desire to change, then the correct response is to help them get used to being maladapted. The APA has never demonstrated a balief that homoerotic attraction was not a maladaption.
They have just decided not to care.
I firmly believe that most people who make the "downfall of civilization" claim, as I do, don't think homoerotic attraction or the acceptance thereof is the root cause. The root cause is the same root cause we are suffering from in "western civilization" today, the ascendency of nhilism. If you notice, you have not really countered any of my arguments. You've merely put forth the concept that people ought to be able to do whatever they want to do. That's the root cause, that only "me" matters.
This is the libertarian fallacy, and it will doom our culture. It is probably already too late to turn the tide, but we must still try while we may.
Shalom.
Bullogna! Not everyone in the medical establishment believes that it's not a behavioral pathology. 42% [over 10,000 psychiatrists] voted NOT to remove it from the DSM. There was no science used for its removal, it was completely political and led by Robert Spitzer.
Moral collapse always precedes societal collapse. When the society accepts certain behaviors as 'right' then that society is doomed to fall. Greece, Rome, Europe. All eventually accepted homoerotic behavior and all have (or are) falling. The moral collapse removes the underlying strength that would have let them survive the other hazards. Only a virtuous society will last and the practice of homosexual behavior is never virtuous
Argee->Homosexuals have never been accused of being something other than human
you-> Not in the literal sense. But to the extent that certain segments of society feel that homosexuals are not entitled to the same rights and dignity as everyone else, much as the mentality towards slaves was, I think it's a very valid analogy.
So what rights do SADs not have that we do? where has anyone promoted denying them any rights?
