Kind of like what it did with human surviving under water or in outer space, right?

After all it designed homosexuality. It created EVERYTHING
Are you ok?

I have been around more gays than most in my estimate and all their actions and thoughts surround sex as if they are hypnotised because they are literaly consumed with it and I truly believe what the New Testament says about it in Romans 1, in other places as well, in Ephesians, in Thessalonians.

They are completely given over to their desires, and that is exactly what I have witnessed with all of them. My wife's brother was so obsessed with me that he ALWAYS put his hands on me until I hit him really hard and he pulls a butcher knife, and this made it all the worse, it made him love me even more. They lived next door, my wife's brother and his husband along with many friends that stayed all the time and every single one of them was obsessed with me but my wife's brother was so betraying to his own sister as were his husband and their friends, and there was always violence. None of them with any decency and all they talked about was bragging to each other how good the other was in front of other people as if their entire sex lives must be reenacted with everyone, even the mailman wasn't safe.

It shows in your prejudices. I'm sorry you had such an introduction to what should be a matter for natural conversation, though all too often is just an expression of repressed feelings.

I have had some uncomfortable experiences myself.
One was a co-worker that openly expressed his same sex attraction. The man was overt in advertising explicit details of his relationships. Even after I specifically asked him to not speak of such things with me. For one we are at work, and two it's inapproprate to speak of such vularities with others.
Yet the man seemed to have no sense of respect for others. He continued to the point of harassment. And I had to report him to my supperiors at work.
And this was only one such experience.

But I have had a few other encounters.

It just seemed odd to me that someone would be so intrusive in a social environment.

There you go justifying.

If I have repressed anger and go all out and beat a person because I harbor anger.
Does that make it ok.

So the argument now is that gay men can't keep their hands, or their comments about sex, to themselves? We have a heterosexual president-elect who openly brags about his sexual proclivities. He brags about grabbing women against their will. (And he uses gutter, women-debasing language when he does it.) He brags about kissing women he is attracted to. He brags about his extra-marital affairs. He's got five kids by three women and ignores the Ten Commandments.

I'd guess that most, if not all, of the people on this board who complain about homosexuals and think they are all sinners headed to hell voted for him. I've yet to read a single comment from the people who are on this board regularly complaining about members of the LGBTQ community condemn him and rant about his sins. God knows his vice-president, a man who makes a big deal about being a Christian and believes in praying the gay away, hasn't called him out. He praises him. As do men like Franklin Graham who is, himself, regularly praised on this board for being an anti-gay, anti-liberal (and thus heroic) Christian.

The hypocrisy displayed by the religious right is, as usual, on full, glaring display. As is the bag of stones they happily throw at the gay community whenever they hear the word "homosexual".

Your capacity for mischaracterizing is as impressive as your propensity to misunderstand.

If the church is 501.3c then they should obey the state . Those churches are already muffled and cannot speak politics. But they can remove the tax except status and say what they want. But the $$$ is too good and they rather keep the status and be quiet.

No.

I did not elicit the man's encroaching behavior. I politely asked him not to speak to me of such vulgarities.
Yet the man continued in the vulgarities and furthered his behavior.
Agression has many forms.
