Homosexuality is just a form of Adultery.
How exactly is that? Especially when homosexual couples are certainly quite capable of being loyal to their partners?
David F. said:
Both are destructive to the basic building block of society -- the family unit.
The building block of society? Haha! You're over playing things a bit much, aren't you? None the less I won't argue that it's fairly important, however homosexuals can easily forma loving family environment for a child to grow up in, and have time and again.
David F. said:
Historically, any family structure other than Patriarchal eventually fails and destroys that particular society.
Now you're just talking out of your ass. Would you care to offer up any example or evidence to support this claim?
David F. said:
By accepting Homosexuality, we are trying an experiment to see if other family structures can be maintained within a successful society.
Again, you're blowing things out of preparation. You're trying to make it seem as though we're attempting to see if the homosexual family unit can entirely replace heterosexual families in our society. This of course is ridiculous. What we are actually trying to do is merely agree that it's time to but out of people's family lives, and agree that if there's no harm being done, then who are we to assert that we can dictate what happens to these people's families? That really isn't so drastic, in fact it's quite senceable.
David F. said:
This is not a new experiment. Many societies have tried this experiment and thus far they have all failed. We won't be any different.
Yes, and the mighty European Theocracies have all failed thus far, as well, and we now look back at them as being "The Dark Ages". It's easy to say that an ancient civilization has collapsed, that's obvious from our vantage point, but I challenge you to back up your implication that homosexuality somehow caused, or even facilitated these collapses.
David F. said:
The other obvious argument is that Nature destroys those who practice Homosexuality, probably as a defense mechanism -- survival of the fittest.
How exactly does nature destroy homosexuals? I mean other than just in the sense that nature destroys all of us, and no mortal man is exempt from slow breakdown through aging and entropy. If nature were some how some sort of conscious entity out to destroy homosexuals, then how is it that after all of these thousands of years they are still around?
I think that the clear implication in your sentiment is that you believe that diseases are somehow spawned specifically to target homosexuals, a view held by many who are in absolutely no place to know. Do your research and you'll realize that no one is immune to STDs, nore does any homosexual have any disease that ten times that number of straight people have.
David F. said:
Homosexuality (male) is rife with disease and leads to the early death of those who practice it.
Rife with disease and leads to early death? Since when? First off, most numbers showing higher rates of AIDS or other STDs among homosexuals come from the 70s and earlier, times before the idea of using condoms to prevent STDs was prevalent (and of course homosexuals don't need to worry about getting pregnant). Second, why only male homosexuality? Because female homosexuality turns you on? I've seen this bizarre double standard before, why is it ok for two women to be homosexuals but not too men? Quit acting on your "that's icky" reflex, and start using your brain.
Finally I'd like to really urge you to do some actual research about homosexuals. You've stated, in this post, a rather sickening array of misconceptions and stereotypes which for most other rational people died out quite a while ago. Look up sources from the APA, and AMA, and stay away from biased editorials from right-wing Christian groups out to make up stories to support their hatred, and claims that homosexuals are evil. We're all people just like you, and it's time you started treating us fairly, or at the very least stop thinking that we're out to eat your children and burn down your homes.
