Let me explain something to YOU... Two people who love each other no matter what sex they are deserve the same treatment & respect as EVERYONE else... Are a heterosexual couple together just for 'sexual fetishes'? The answer is no...

See YOU learned something...

Please don't try & dictate to others or try to "inform" them with your very wrong & dated views...

Nobody is disputing what you are saying. I can't understand why it's difficult to see the debate here and it always goes back to "you're wrong, you're homophobic..." etc etc.

Personally, I think that is the dated perspective here that if somebody questions something and is inquisitive, it is difficult for some to see beyond the fashion of charity.

People are enquiring and debating the culture and homosexuality - not the needs.

Because the person I was actually replying to IS homophobic... I have seen plenty of evidence of this over the last couple of months & they have had posts removed for things they have written in the past...

There shouldn't really be ANY debate though should there? If people think homosexuality is 'wrong' then that IS homophobic...

End of debate.

But there isn't talk about it being wrong.

They are not homophobic but rather than actually deal with the questions, comments, opinions and different cultural viewpoints you would rather just 'declare me pathological' so you can just dismiss anything that doesn't agree with your opinions.

There shouldn't really be ANY debate though should there? If people think homosexuality is 'wrong' then that IS homophobic...

End of debate.

And there you have it. That says it all. You DEMAND that your minority beliefs rule the planet and END OF DEBATE.

Well too bad. Sucks for you. In fact there is growing debate that this new view of yours really IS correct or should have been taking seriously in the first place.
but,
MORE the point here is that a lot of people dislike your belief that there 'is no debate'.

Now you sure liked it when YOU were allowed to debate your belief in the 'normality' of this homosexuality.

Let's see if you like this:

Homosexuality is not normal and anyone who thinks otherwise is a pervert. END OF DEBATE.
NO MORE DISCUSSION. PERIOD!

How about that?

Nonsense, complete and utter rubish.

A homophobic is somebody that is prejudiced against homosexual people. Not believing something is right does not mean your prejudiced

No, that would be the argument of the oxford english dictionary in terms of the definition of a homophobic

Yes, it does. Prejudice is prejudgement. If you've prejudged homosexuality to be ethically wrong, you haven't thought about homosexuality and/or ethics long enough.

If you think homosexuality is right then you haven't thought about homosexuality or ethnics long enough.
You are being 'pre-judice'.

[CaudleHalbard]

Homosexuality/bisexuality is a the condition of anything up to 10% of the population. It is not as if it is one in a million, and is thus not some sort of aberration.

There is no point in thinking it is "wrong". It just exists - in the same way as being black or white or brown or yellow.

You can either cope with it or you can't. Saying you think it's "wrong" merely demonstrates: you can't cope with it. Your problem and nobody else's I'm afraid.

More nonsense - whats right for one person is wrong for another. Its a subjective thing and everyone is entitled to their own beliefs providing they do not effect those around them

The difference is I can back up my claims, and you can't. Ethics come down to harm...and gay and lesbian sex/relationships, as long as lubrication is involved, causes no harm to anything, living or not. I've already debunked your claims it correlates to depression. Plug on plug or socket on socket may gross you out, but it's as ethically neutral as plug on socket. If anything, it's ethically good because sex (tends to) spread happiness.

If you're so blurry on this issue, it makes me worry what other ethical issues you might be blurry on. Murder = wrong, theft = wrong, putting a penis in a consenting crack = not wrong.

Rubbish. There is a difference between pre-judging an act or practice and pre-judging a person
