I would suggest you search and read some of things that are out there. If some of your ilk had there way, homosexuality would be a requirement and forced upon people.
If you don't like what some of your brood are saying, then I suggest you find a way to silence them, because they're not helping your cause.

I see confused people grasping at straws.
The fact that two people consent to do something does make the act legitimate.
See below.

Their position was coerced by threats and intimidation, and many psychologists do not agree with the APA board's assessment.

That is not science, that is pseudo-science.
Science is Universal, meaning it applies everywhere all the time and always has and always will.
A bunch of skewed statistical data hedged with Weasel Words like "maybe," "might," "possibly," "perhaps" etc etc etc is not science.

Actually, no the people who need their behavior validated are the ones who always act out, regardless of what that behavior is. You need to take more psychology courses at your local university.

If you thought you're primary purpose was to build bridges and highways and make music and paint things, you're wrong. Those are merely incidental to primary function.

So, time to own up....do you support Obamacare? Because if you do, you just contradicted yourself and admitted that you're an hypocrite.

Yes, I was a detective sergeant and investigated cases of rape and pedophilia for prosecution.

Why do you assert that they are not?
An adulterous affair is consensual, no?
And look at the harm and damage that is done, not only to the two consenting adults, but to others operating in the spheres of their lives.
Why do you think the US military punishes adultery? Because it is incredibly harmful, damaging and destructive, even though it takes place between two consenting adults.
Is adultery normal? Perhaps we should legalize adultery, in that way when a spouse commits adultery, the victim party cannot file for divorce for cause. That would kind of put a damper on pre-nuptial agreements.
The fact that two people consent to do anything does not make it legal, or legitimate, or normal or right or correct or proper or anything else, and it certainly does not make it harmless.
Your logic is seriously flawed. You should take more philosophy courses at university.

No, the fail is your pathetic attempt to misrepresent my position. Consent is not the issue.
These people made these statements...

...and to summarize their flawed logic, if something has existed for a long time then it is normal and should be accepted.
Since murder, war, rape, theft and many other unpleasant things have been around as long as humans, then based on their logic, we should just accept it and decriminalize it.

I'm an Atheist, and I use that demonstrate to christians that as an Atheist, I am morally superior to Jesus, since unlike Jesus, I recognize rape as a peremptory norm under
jus cogens, meaning it is never justifiable....and never means "at no time ever."
That means if an heterosexual man and woman are the only two human survivors remaining on Planet Earth, and the woman does not want to have sexual relations, then that is the end of the Human Race, and rape is not justified, not even in that instance.

I'll give you the answer - no. Take ants for example,

You forgot to mention this part....
Quote:
Because ant social structure is very complex and individual ants are relatively simple, an ant colony can be thought of as a single organism, and the individual ants as cells or limbs of the organism, as the individuals can rarely survive on their own.

And you also forgot to mention that female worker ants are typically born sterile and cannot reproduce.
Still, it does not alter the fact that it requires a female and a male, not two males, and not two females.

You might want to take some zoology courses so you can understand evolution.

...to which my response was the color of the hair does not impair the function and purpose of hair, so the analogy fails.
Regardless, hair or lack of and its color and texture and length have no bearing on reproduction.

Not relevant. We are discussing the function and purpose of humans, not individual people. To the extent that it may possibly be relevant, their choice not to reproduce does not alter the fact that their primary purpose on Planet Earth is to reproduce.
I'm still waiting for one of you to demonstrate that the penis and anus were biologically designed to be coupled.
I mention that only because philosophically, the fact that one can do something does not logically presume that one ought to do something.
Just because you can stick a screw-driver in your eyeball, it doesn't logically follow that you should do that or that you ought you do that.
You can spin it anyway you want, and make all manner of failed analogies, but at the end of the day, homosexuality is an abnormal and deviant sexual behavior, no different than bisexuality, necrophilia, zoophilia, pedophilia or paraphilia.
Maybe this will help. When we contrast heterosexuality with deviant and abnormal sexual behaviors....
...see how that works?
Perhaps this is more appropriate....
....get it?
