Horrible example. Sorry, you don't get locked up for seeing aliens.

Do some research and try again.

That doesn't mean their views are right, however. They're certainly not compassionate or empathetic.

The topic is about homosexuality, not 'gay sex'. It's an orientation, not a behavior. Gays and lesbians can be virgins and still be homosexual.

Why do some of you people continually obsess about SEX?

Evolution is an established scientific theory. People who deny it (after having examined the evidence) are on the fringe.

Whereas homosexual behavior is an act that raises value issues for families and society as a whole - like masturbation, promiscuity, watching porn, prostitution, etc. Even though all of these may be "natural," they are also much more controversial.

I stand by my opinion that parents should decide what, if anything, they should teach their children about these things.

Why old testament, when both testaments talk about gay sex?

NARTH is a joke. Do you have any idea who they are?

It is not about outlawing it. Do you think we should teach kids that it is natural and normal to cheat on a spouse?

I simply used the words in the post I was replying to (from a gay activists). I am sorry you find his/her words creepy and weird:

"Do you feel like the gays are shoving their hot sweaty agenda down your throat until you gag on their sin?"

No1 rule... trash anything or anybody that disagrees with the homosexual agenda.
No, NARTH is a religiously based anti-gay fringe advocacy group who have been caught lying and misrepresenting the work of real scientists and health professionals. Over and Over and over again. They publish anti-gay propaganda. It's very easy to show how they lie and distort studies by others.

Real health professionals and researchers complain about their work being distorted and misused by NARTH. Most of their members are lay people with no qualifications. None of their nonsense would stand up to scrutiny in a courtroom.

Even Christian psychologists in this field, like Warren Throckmorton or Mark Yarhouse, regularly take them to task.

Using NARTH for information about homosexuality is like using the KKK for information about black people.

Yes, why would it be wrong. Replace homosexuals with black, asian, or democrat.
