Unless they are the type to bring trash
home with them, they are excellent neighbors.
Extremely fastidious, with great taste.

Interesting example. Throughout this entire thread not once did I think about another man's rump, you on the other hand...

We know, sex is only for procreation, the bible says this and that. Many sexual activities serve no natural biological function, does that mean they are not normal?

It always attack, attack and attack.

But that is all changing, slowly, but surely.
BoxTurtle Bulletin did a fascinating piece on "How to write an Anti-Gay tract in 15 easy steps". Focusing on SEX is Step 2:
How To Write An Anti-Gay Tract In 15 Easy Steps

Quote:
Step 2: Talk about sex. A lot. Most general-topic anti-gay tracts begin with a detailed description of sexual practices. There’s a good reason for that: no one looks good when their entire life is reduced to one-dimensional statistical descriptions of sexual practices.

Talking about sex can be rather gross, but don’t let that stop you. In fact, that’s the whole point. You want your audience to share your revulsion of gays and lesbians, and this is the easiest way to do it. Talk about sex as though it were the only thing that matters to gays and lesbians. Not love, not relationships, not commitment, not families – just sex.

To reinforce this point, anti-gay writers make extensive use of the term “homosexual” throughout their tracts. By constantly emphasizing “homosexual” instead of using the terms “gay” or “lesbian”, the sexual component of gays and lesbians are emphasized above all other aspects of their lives. And the more you portray gays and lesbians as sex-obsessed homosexuals, maybe your readers won’t notice the irony of your tract being obsessed with the sex lives of supposedly “sex-obsessed” people.
They also did a great parody piece on "The Heterosexual Agenda-Exposing the Myths!" to show in detail how anti-gay groups distort, misrepresent and lie to demonize gays and lesbians:

That, despite the left's constant claim that rejection of homosexual practices is caused by fear, hate and ignorance, being digusted by homosexual acts is an innocent, natural, innate and largely logical behavioral adaptation designed to help heterosexuals avoid novel pathogens spread by homosexuals?

What does "genetic offspring" have to do with anything? Plenty of "straight" couples have sex with no "genetic offspring" resulting because of it. You know - like that 80-year-old couple who met in the assisted living center. Or, maybe their union is "unnatural," too, because it certainly won't result in "genetic offspring?"

I hate bigots.

As if SEXSEXSEX was the only thing in a gay or lesbian person's life.

It's no more important to most gays and lesbians than it is to heterosexuals.

So why do discussions of homosexuality by straight people always involve lot's of talk "gay sex" or "what two consenting adults do in the bedroom"?

The subject of this thread is teaching children homosexuality is normal or natural.

If homosexuals kept what they did in the bedroom to themselves and out of public school classrooms, no one would care.

The reason the public school classroom and what is taught there is now such a hot button issue is that the pro-homosexual community has focused their efforts on our children.

We all know what's going on.

Children are the only people who believe BS without question.

They believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the monster who lives under their bed.

These are the same people gays would like to "educate" about homosexuality.

They want to teach them homosexuality is natural and normal.

They want these innocent kids to be ashamed of their natural and normal feelings of disgust by homosexuality.

They seek to accomplish this by bullying the logical and rational kids with labels like "homophobe" and "hate monger".

Homosexuality is natural. It has always been in the world. There is plenty of evidence in other species, as well. You don't make a choice to be heterosexual. At what point in your life did you think, I'll be straight.
You didn't. In the same way, gay people don't make a choice to be
homosexual. They just are. Gay people should have the same laws
and protections as everyone else. Without them, it is plain and
simple discrimination. Is heterosexuality natural ? I would say it is
equally as natural as homosexuality. They are both found in the
world albeit heterosexuality is more prevalent, but there can be no
denying they are each natural.

funny, why would we keep our romantic relationship only in the bedroom? no straight people do that. my parents are married and make it obvious to people that they're a couple and they talk about each other openly... why wouldn't we do that?

and i'm sorry, but to us GAY people who were GAY KIDS born with the homosexual orientation, people who believe like you do are the cause of suicides. we have NOTHING to be ashamed of, we didn't do ANYTHING WRONG other than be born in a way that you don't prefer. if you don't like a trait that God has chosen for me than it's God whom you have the problem with NOT ME>
