It is not suffering, I am happy being gay. It is you and others that are unhappy about gay people. What is destructive about homosexuality? And it is not a behavior, it is an orientation. Same as heterosexuality, it is an orientation.

It's hilarious that parents are worried about "Gay" boy scouts! Stick a bunch of horny kids in a tent and guess what will happen? A sexual act doesn't define your sexuality!

Not all men engage in anal sex. That's not a homosexual behavior, it's a human behavior since astronomically more heterosexuals do it than gays. Your facts are already wrong.

And Men don't turn effeminate and I don't see how that's harmful. You do realize brain wiring can make someone more masculine or feminine right? There are plenty of effeminate straight men.

This is why you're criticized. Your beliefs are not based on reality, they are based on your own prejudicial beliefs. Masculinity/Femininity are largely controlled by structures like the Left amygdala that affect mood, aggression, emotion, etc. Varying degrees of hormone fluctuation in fetal development can lead one to be more feminine or more masculine.

By that logic, heterosexual behavior is destructive and should be banned. The overwhelming majority of harm is caused by heterosexual behavior. Most STDs, most unwanted pregnancies, most abortions, most cheating, most divorce, etc. ALL primarily among heterosexuals.

You're being a complete hypocrite.

I wouldn't be supprized to see many quit now.

It's a slap in the face for them.

I supported my old Troop today and bought some BBQ chicken off them in the gas station parking lot. They were having a fundraiser. I smelled the famous local BBQ chicken cooking from the road. I turned around and went back to get some.

I saw the kids uniforms and the patches on their shirts...come to find out they were from the same Troop I belonged to as a kid.

One of the kids Dads thanked me for buying some.

I said...."no, thank you Sir".

Told the kids who I was.......and I was in a different uniform (or partial one) now.

Have a good day boys!

Chicken was awesome just like I knew it was going to be.

I'm having the second half for supper.

Ignorance, prejudice and hatred are destructive. Especially when fuelled by religious zealotry.

This thread is a perfect example of that. Religious zealots want to be able to practice their ignorance, prejudice and discrimination towards gay and lesbian people without being called to account for it. In some bizarre way they even seem to want approval for their destructive behaviour towards others..
