How about the medical community. Historically homosexuality has been deemed a mental disease.

Laws were not taken off the books until this generation degraded to sensuality and immorality.

Homo-sex has been outlawed for longer that it has been allowed.
Historically Blacks were not considered human and American Indians were only considered 7/8's human and not deserving of equal treatment under US law. Just because our beliefs once included biases based on lack of knowledge, does not mean they should still be adhered to.

Sounds like we are just another species of the animal kingdom.

So, it seems that people need to retake 2nd grade science class.

Seriously City-Data,



Learn basic science and try again.

Need I introduce you to

Homo sapien?

We are animals, a human animal, but animals none the less. This doesn't mean that we have to behave like animals. However, it doesn't mean we should stop others from acting like animals if that is what they like to do, if they aren't hurting anyone else.

Discriminating against a human with a naturally occurring abnormality is hurting them, and it is wrong. Its what ancient, unevolved men did when faced with someone who looked, smelled, felt, and did different things then they did.

History is full of people trying to keep people different from them from doing things they disagree with. Don't be so uncivilized.

Yeh... It's all good.

The US military thinks it's okay now to murder innocent people... ooops.
The Congress NOW says it's okay to put people in prison without a trial... though O'bama says he'll never use that power...


We can compare stupidity all day.

You can call yourself an animal, and you can behave like an animal if you must, but when our children are forced to listen to lies about homosexuality being normal, then I consider it an attack on my moral values.

We can, but people saying that homosexuality is wrong will always win out in the "who is more stupid" argument.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

As has been pointed out repeatedly, humans are animals.

According to whom?

What gives them the right to classify the Creation, who gave them permission to define what they had nothing to do with?

Anyone that thinks Monkeys and Humans are the same has degraded the creators design, and truly doesn't comprehend the profound abilities of Man.

Everyone behaves "like an animal" because scientifically, we are animals. We just have a higher level of cognitive thinking than most others of the animal kingdom.

Just like scientifically, homosexuality is normal.
