This arugment has been done to death.

The title of the thread is "Do you feel that it is correct to teach children that homosexuality is normal and natural"

Homosexuality is most certainly, undeniably, natural, and therefore normal.

That is not to say that everything that is normal and natural is desirable.

Capisce?

I didn't call you stupid. You have a different agenda to create acceptance of an abnormal life choice.

Obviously there are gays, i don't wish to take their freedom from them, it's their choice. Keep it in private. Not in schools or media.
This thread is about taking the rights of the parents and children and telling them a lie, that it is normal to be gay.

It is not normal, that is the point, it is abnormal.

Normal is for a Man and Woman to engage in sex, not a woman and woman, or man and man.

History is on my side with this one. It's why it is so controversial.
you have another poster in mind I don't think I ever used the word darkness in this topic. abnormal? something that has been around since the dawn of man you say you don't want to take away a gay's freedom yet you don't want to see it in the media or in school. so treat them like lepers of old times. sounds exactly like you want some freedoms taken away like censoring the media to not include homosexuality. lots of things in human sexuality might not seem normal if you don't engage in the activity yourself, however it doesn't mean it isn't normal. it isn't history that is on your side it's religious teaching of a bible verse.

Cannibalism occurs in nature, so should we teach kids it is normal to eat other humans?

Says you. I don't fall for the lame comparison. Do some people live and act like animals, fall to the lowest nature of their beings YES... Does that make all of us Animals, far from it.

Do you posit that the girl would not be disgusted by descriptions of her parents having sex?

Do you posit that showing a straight porn video to 1st graders would not be met similarly to a gay porn video?

At first I was



And then I was all



But now I"m



This is got to be the most ridiculous point of them all.

No joke.

Kissing=/=sex.

Teaching kids that "sometimes boys like boys and girls like girls, and there's nothing wrong with that" does not equal showing them videos of two girls scissoring, or two boys rubbing their hot manmeat together.

Not necessarily. Extreme right wingers do find it easier to push through however, the greater their influence, the more cloth yardage per capita. See Muslim nations, for example.

There are always a few that push the envelope and try to make sensualism un regulated, but most people understand modesty has major benefits to society as a whole.

The "ITS ALL GOOD" bs is not good for mankind.
Modesty isn't quite as accessible as the ability to spell it out. There is nothing "modest" about pushing personal beliefs onto others, much less via mob rule.

It is quite incredible to see people argue that is animals do something, then it is ok and normal for people to do it too.

Leave religion out of it.

How about the medical community. Historically homosexuality has been deemed a mental disease.

Laws were not taken off the books until this generation degraded to sensuality and immorality.

Homo-sex has been outlawed for longer that it has been allowed.

Considering we are animals by default, yes.

Sorry, you can't get away from that.

Humans.
Are.
Animals.

This is pure fact, it is undeniable, and it's just plain stupid to argue.

We may be higher functioning animals, but we are still animals.
