I always wonder about people who think homosexuality is a choice. Do they think that everybody is on the line just wavering and could go one way or another with the slightest nudge. And if that’s their opinion, then am I wrong in thinking that a person who holds this opinion also thinks that they themselves could turn gay after being told it’s o.k. to be gay or after witnessing a gay couple holding hands, or seeing a gay wedding, or watching Rosie O’Donnell too much?
Or is it that as a little kid you have to be groomed to like the opposite sex for said number of years or you’ll turn gay. “No musicals for you Timmy until you turn 12 or you’ll turn gay, here, go read this Playboy instead!”
Or perhaps, not all, but some, people who have this belief have gay or bi tendencies that are repressed and that’s why think that it’s so easy to just choose which team they’ll play on?

May 15, 2008 at 3:23 PM #205036zkParticipant(dumbrenter): Maybe it is time to ask… why should any marriage be related to taxes/insurance/inheritance etc. ?
That I agree with.

May 15, 2008 at 3:28 PM #205041meadandaleParticipantIt’s funny that you concede almost all of my points yet I don’t see you being a cheerleader for incest rights, lowering the age of consent or eliminating the prohibition against polygamy.
Apparently the homesexual ‘lobby’ has strong enough financial backing to build the grassroots groundswell of support.
As to being brainwashed, that’s YOUR opinion. I could argue that many of your views are the result of ‘brainwashing’ by the media and your liberal idealogues.
Finally, you may disagree with the notion of ‘social norms’ but they are a fact of life unless you are a hermit. Even if you were living in a commune, there would be things that are aren’t ‘acceptable’.
Cannibalism, murder, polygamy, etc ad nauseum–virtually anything that you can think of is subject to cultural and societal influences. Human sacrifice used to be common amongst some quite advanced cultures. Today we mostly frown upon it. How come? We certainly don’t have a problem killing our enemies. Why not capture them live and gut them on an altar to appease our ‘god’?
Animal sacrifices, similarly, used to be quite common (and still are in some cultures). We think nothing of killing animals to eat, to help us develop better drugs or for no reason at all because their owners have abandoned them. However we seem to look down on killing them as an offering to a ‘god’. Why is that?
Should anything go? Everything is fair game now? Or is gay ‘marriage’ simply OK just because it is your new pet cause and you say it is ok?
