[quote=Rustico] I think there is enough content in my post in this thread for you to see what I mean? The example of the mother from Shadowfax’s link? There are much more severe cases of parents and others messing with the sexuality/gender identity of preschoolers. It’s emotional abuse with an predictible outcome.That kind of thing makes for an indoctrination in my mind. When politics covers this up I call that an indoctrination and a crime.
Kids come into life vunerable as to identity formation and social function in many factors. Kind of like when a soldier goes to war. Homosexuality is a type of PTSD reaction that children acquire to unusual circumstances, subtle and extreme. I don’t want to codify reinforcement of that with Homoagenda and resulting politics based social engineering.
Homosexuals should have the same protections as anyone, else but promotion via a special class because of an acquired “identity” is wrong, even if most of them can’t change, or are thrilled to be gay.[/quote]
No, no, no. Kids aren’t vulnerable to indoctrination regarding sexual orientation. My family background is a rebuttal to your theory. My sister and I have different fathers, but the same mother. I am straight (and never had any interest in same gender) and she is a lesbian. Not irrefutable proof of genetics but definitely not a datapoint for “nurture.”
Let’s except out the victims of incest or other abuse, because that is not what we are talking about here. That is a class all it’s own.
In cases where people independently identify, you have a wide range of childhood experiences. I can’t quote you a study, but I am sure I could find one, but from my own life experience, there are tons of examples of gay men, for instance, who played football or cops and robbers as children or participated in other “manly” activities with moms and dads who expected them to be and act straight. Some enjoyed these activities/upbringing and it had no influence on their sexual preference. Others experienced this it in a reverse of what you are saying–to please their parents and society to seem more masculine, even though they never found much enjoyment in it. Maybe they even got married to a woman and had a couple kids to persuade everyone, even themselves, that they were straight. But later in life, many of these men (in this example) will tell you that they always liked the same-gender, even though they tried hard not to (counseling, hormone therapy).
So if the reverse-indoctrination doesn’t work for a gay guy/girl trying to be straight, do you really think “gay indoctrination” (whether intentional or subtle) works on someone who is trending toward heterosexuality? I just don’t see it in my experience.
