Nowhere did I say you said they were just as bad. I said you were comparing the two things. Those two things being homosexuality and child molesters. You are saying that being gay and being a child molester are the same. Just read your last sentence.

If you stop shoplifting, you are still yourself, and you aren't living a lie. Shoplifting isn't part of your identity. Would you be fine with never being able to be with the one you love? It has nothing to do with a focus on flesh.

The better question is, we are only here for a short time, so why would you spend that time lying to yourself and everyone around you, being miserable for your entire life? Why would you want people to do that?

I'm not gay Jeff, so I have no need to do so. If we were living in a world where gay people were the vast majority and actively trying to deny me rights and I ran the risk of being beaten or killed everytime I left the house for simply being straight.......

So Jeff, how about an answer to my earlier question?

When did you decide to be heterosexual? Was there an "Aha!" Moment, or what? Did you try both to make up your mind? How did you choose?
You keep asking that ignorant question. It has been answered.
There is NO NEED to "choose" heterosexuality...as it is the "natural default". Procreation is a "basic instinct"...and requires male & female.
Anything outside of that would be contradictory to that natural default...and is either a defect or a choice.

And yet homosexuality occurs all over nature, thus it is just as natural as heterosexuality.

Apparently you are completely unaware of the diversity in creation and the multiple-interrlockd conditions that make life on this planet a wonder. One of those amazing things about humans and a few other species is that there is something more involved about sex and sexuality than procreation. You should not be so simplistic, especially when it comes to how you judge other humans.

More nuthin from a nuthin.

If you can CHOOSE homosexuality, then you ARE choosing heterosexuality if you are straight. Go back to your version of woo and let the adults talk.

Procreation isn't a basic instinct. I don't have kids, never have wanted kids. I'm heterosexual, in a long term relationship and my better half has known since teen years she didn't want kids. I don't think it's a defect, and is certainly choice.

To imply that procreation is a basic instinct also has flaws.

You do notice that there is an exchange and debate going on, right?
Most offer more than your few interjected ignorant words.
For a guy that was a pro writer...you sure are stingy with any contribution of that talent to this board.
MOF...no one but you regularly puts up a few words of childish foolishness as a post.
Unless you are just amusing yourself...why bother? Lonely, unfulfilled, strange, bitter...what's up Dude?

Your constant displays of pique, which drag way too many threads into the weeds, have become boring.....please stay on topic.

Yes it is a basic instinct. Current (long standing) scientific knowledge disagrees with your claim it isn't...at all levels of organism complexity. It is a universal "drive".
As I noted...anything outside of that basic instinct "default" is either a defect or a choice. As you noted...you made a choice outside of the default.

Just as "survival" is a basic instinct...even though some go against that and chose to commit suicide.
You don't determine "standards" by the exceptions.
