LOL at “homophobia.” No one is “afraid” of queers.
Having gay sex is extremely unhealthy (far worse, tham, say smoking) and gays overwhelmingly report that they are unhappy and unsatisfied with life.
It’s not normal behavior and has not been tolerated in almost any society, in the world, for thousands of years.
So, yes, we should not teach children that deviant behavior is normal or OK. It’s not.
Now, will I discriminate against you? Nope.
Everyone has their cross, and yours is a desire to have hairy men pound your ass raw in rest stops along the highway.
That’s your business.
But will I teach my (future) children that it’s OK to get pounded in the ass at rest stops? No. I will teach them that engaging in gay sex is an almost certain path to a miserable life.[/quote]
You’re making a strawman argument (if you don’t know what that is, look it up). You put a whole bunch of words in my mouth, because you don’t have any real argument with what I said. First off, you assumed I was gay (I’m married to a woman FYI). Then you went into arguments about getting pounded at rest stops? lol@that. What you’re talking about there has nothing to do with straightness or gayness. Truckers fuck prostitutes at rest stops. Does that mean they represent the whole or majority of straight people? of course not. You’re associating gayness with promiscuity. Straight people are just as promiscuous (a big reason most marriages end in divorce).
Now for the rest of your points. Show evidence that gay sex in a monogamous relationship is unhealthier than smoking. Your point, as I understand it, is really that promiscuity is dangerous. I won’t argue against that. Gay sex in and of itself is not.
Gays report being unhappy. You think this might have something to do with the way they’re treated by ignorant people? Just a thought.
It has not been tolerated by many societies in history? That’s just plain false. Crack open a book or two and read about Ancient Greece, the Renaissance period in Europe, the entire history of Asia, ancient Egypt, and ancient Rome, just to name some off the top of my head.
Just because you don’t know about homosexuality in world history doesn’t mean it’s not there.
If you can’t come up with a better argument than “I ain’t gon’ let none of my kin get butt fucked at dem gas stations, no sir”, then GTFO.[/quote]
This is just full of win.
Personally, I can only get turned on by lady folk, but I don’t see why people are so bothered about gayness, I couldn’t care less if someone was gay.
As for history… I remember reading an article about the most baddass warriors ever - The Spartans (but this applies to other ancient greeks also) - and apparently they formed homosexual relationships with the men they stood next to in battle. Can kind if see the use in it, I mean, if you love the person your standing next to in a battle your gonna be a lot braver and less willing to run and leave them than if you didn’t love them.
