Is it normal/natural? That's debatable. Is it acceptable? Absolutely.

... only in this case, because science has already concluded, through an overwhelming consensus, that homosexuality is NOT a mental disorder and is NORMAL, anyone teaching their child that homosexuality is a "mental disorder" is going against science in favor of their own unlearned opinion, and are teaching their child to be just as dumb, ignorant and backwoods as they are.


HOPEFULLY that child isn't gay themselves, or they're in for a world of mental damage alright - at the hands of their unfit parents. HOPEFULLY once they enter the real world they will have the fortitude to form their own opinions, and get educated, despite their parents' best efforts to keep them dumb.


We should invest more money removing children from homes where parents willfully teach their children such nonsense. It's tantamount to child abuse, and will surely lead to inabilities to function properly in the real world, as evidenced by the many, many posts from social conservatives on this board. Such breathtaking conservative ignorance you only read about.... very scary to know they actually do exist, and feel the need to throw their ignorance around like a chimp at the zoo, tossing its droppings at shocked onlookers.

Can we get a forum specifically for GLBTG, and make this forum for just politics? This way the concerns for gay plight and gay social issues can be addressed by people who actually care about those issues.

for the umteenth time, being gay is natural, but it is not a "normal" condition for any species.

Yes. Anything otherwise would be idiocy.

So in terms of what filihok said above, I do believe he meant "those who speak LOUDEST" are usually hiding something. Thus, if you were constantly screaming about how horrible the desert was, I might think you harbored some resentment for not living in one. Make sense?
Do you have any idea how irrational that sounds? Seriously gizmo, take a step back and look at your own statement objectively. Do you think the Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells also are secretly Muslim? It's a non sequitur and you of all people know it. Half the people posting (on both sides of any issue) on this forum are functional illiterate buffoons but I've come to expect much more from you.

Now go back and objectively examine your first paragraph. You said, "plenty of religious folks". Would you care to give a breakdown of those religious folks as to what their particular sect or cult might be? It's essentially the same sweeping statement: "All Indians wear red shoes because the one I saw did."
So, to answer your question.... No, it doesn't make sense.

Excuse the irony but were you to actually accept the argument of "doth protest too much." as empirical data, it would be an act of blind faith. Remember, the author of that line was foremost a satirist.

But those words both start with the same letter.

YOu are trying to gain ground with the hate word same as others use the race card with no racism involved. I never hated any gays.. I know quite a few gay people who have come and gone in my life as I have lived my life. They are God's creation.

You look for sympathy with saying you are hated when you know it isn't even the truth. Gays are loved everywhere. But their sin is not.

Fact is you love your sin more than God and refuse to repent .

Jesus was a very plain speaker on sin.

I am on this thread for the children. I want to see how many of us really care about the next generation.. some just don't understand the spirit of homosexuality is a spirit that ensnares people of all age groups.

Jesus was a very plain speaker to people like you:

"You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 35“The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. 36“But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. 37“For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
