Its also been noted that people don't pick and choose who they are attracted to either. If a straight guy goes out on 3 dates with 3 different girls, all of which he is physically attracted to, but only has a connection to girl number 3 that doesn't mean he made a conscience decision to not have chemistry with the first two, it just wasn't there. A gay person doesn't wake up one day and say "I think I'll start being gay," the instinct or attraction has always been there. Keep in mind homosexuality was classified as a mental disorder over 30 years ago, times have changed

Seems to me that Ozzy is obsessed with all things homosexual and abortion related. Maybe Ozzy should be more worried about his own life instead of everyone elses!

This is why many people have an aversion to it.

Tolerance is all one can hope for in this case.
Spoken by someone who doesn't understand evolution. You do realize entire species have survived due to a rise in homosexuals in the population right?

Since when are all individuals in a population required to produce children according to the Theory of Evolution? You are aware evolution does not work at the individual level right?

Most of those people also believe the Earth is 6000 years old and humans rode on dinosaurs. Your point?

The entire brain isn't female, only certain structures that control things like mood, emotion, etc. can be feminized.

How is that not normal? There are plenty of straight men with more feminized brains. Not all men are macho, testosterone driven jocks regardless of their orientation.

Being oppressed has a funny way of making people more powerful. Jews are a perfect example.

I believe that all human beings have a natural aversion to the idea of homosexuality. It is the same feeling that any normal person would have towards anyone with a mental disorder. It is natural to feel empathy and even pity towards them.

But suddenly it has been labelled as politically incorrect to feel this way. Now it is even politically correct to call it hateful if anyone expresses that feeling.

Ten years ago this was the norm, however. So I don't believe that all the self-described "gay supporters" are being honest when they say that they don't feel this aversion as well.

How did this change happen so quickly and why?
The nation's mental institutions were cleared and shut down because new drug discoveries allowed mental illnesses to be easier to control. If homosexuality is supposed to be a mental illness, why hasn't a drug been discovered to control it?

Believe it or not, you're wrong, unless you mean "most people who think like you do."

Believe it or not, most people consider it a disorder to continuously dwell upon subjects due to fascination. They tend to inflame and inflate dogmatic responses in a natural response to having so much conflicting interest in a subject to the point of obsession. Without proper expression these folks then proceed to get all political/social about their pre-occupation, get ornery & possible violent as accepted reality and genuine reality dance about their psyche in search of resolution.

Once the world was flat, the sun revolved around the earth and the stars at night was a swarming blanket tucked in over us by god. Perceptions grants change.
