I've never torn anyone's anus nor given them HIV, AIDS or an STD.

How is that a 'special' right?

Both heterosexuals, and homosexuals have anal sex. STDs do not discriminate based on orientation.

My point is the such a small % of the people are forcing the majority to acknowledge many aspect of their lifestyle while the majority is shot down for express their dislike.

The majority can not shoot down rights for people they don't like.


Child porn is wrong just as porn is wrong.

Who said anything about porn?

True and looking at child porn or porn would be an act.
You don't have to look at porn to be attracted to someone.

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.

The fact that two people consent to do something does make the act legitimate.

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.

Why do you assert that consensual same-sex acts are harmful? On what basis?
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.

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.

...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?

Behaviorally...

Okay what are you on about? So defending the rights of other Americans in this country is the same as forcing a sexual life style onto others? Do you even comprehend what you write?

Wait, what about blow jobs? I'm kinda a big fan of oral sex. Is that allowed. Role Playing? That sounds kind of deviant. Is doggy style permitted? Can I be on top or do we always have to do it missionary style?


Will someone please tell me exactly what I am allowed do in the bedroom in order to not offend the precious children of America?!

Hahahahahaha. Nice try - that's not my argument or logic at all. I've never understood the social conservative's need to equal "normal" or "natural" with "moral". Well, actually I think I do get it. They start by defining moral and acceptable based on some arbitrary book that they think constitutes the "Truth" and that describes this Moral Order as having been designed and created by some intelligent, omnipotent being. Since this is the only "Truth," and since it's been designed by their "God," it is both the Moral Order and the normal and natural way of things (how could it be otherwise?). They define "natural" and "normal" on the basis of their arbitrarily derived moral viewpoint.

I simply was answering a question that asked why homosexuality is normal. It is normal - it's within the normal range of human behavior - it describes a common and standard type of human being. And it is natural - it's found throughout nature. While I do find it homosexuality acceptable, I don't find it acceptable because it is normal and natural. I don't conflate those concepts. There are things that are normal and natural that are moral and acceptable, and there are things that are normal and natural that are immoral and not acceptable. I find homosexuality acceptable because it causes no harm. To the contrary, it brings joy, happiness, and health to homosexuals and to their families and to the people who love them.

Not sure what kind of anal sex you're having, but may I suggest using a lot more lube and starting out slower?

If the spouse of the person having an adulterous affair did not consent, then of course it is harmful to that person. It would also be introducing a third person to the relationship, even if one party doesn't know about it. That has nothing to do with TWO consenting adults in a relationship.

Considering that rape, war, murder, and theft are all things that happen TO people without their consent, they should not be made legal.

Again, that has nothing to do with two consenting adults in a relationship.
