Is choosing nothing a mental disorder for thise who prefer celibecy? Are they mental, frowned upon for not having babies, have no feelings (and I mean have nothing) for either sex and just wanting to seek enlightenment? |

I think you are missinterpreting consent and love with animalistic intention that is present in both sexes regardless of sexuality. I think that all humas have definitions of the bestial and the consentual in varying degrees. Most offence towards homosexuality as being immoral is no different as heterosexual immorality or animialstic behavior if used as a power tip or to abuse. The difference being consentual and complete love for another where the animalistic becomes absolved. If you want to judge another by your own standards then you so shall be judged as the pharisee who though they felt righteous compared to the tax payer who was humbled. be careful between what you call bestial and animalistic....you are using a very large brush that covers all humanity and have no consideration that only God can judge the heart of man or woman. If man and woman were always meant to procreate the most families would have 10's of twenties of children. Do you think that married cpoupes only copulate when the want a child, or do they try to avoid pregnancy on occasion. Count how many times you have had sex vs how many kids you have (for the virle). I know many Irish catholics that have more sex than children, and they dont want more....which biblically is bestial. |

Jack (OP) User ID: 1282619 United States 03/03/2011 12:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not looking for a fight nor am I a troll. I'm just asking a legitimate question since there are many intellectual people on GLP forums. Unfortunately, I did not get a definite answer. When I went to school, we were never taught about homosexuals. So I'm just curious about it, that's all. I don't know why bestiality got involved in this topic? To answer one posters question, I don't think celibacy is a mental disorder. It's just their decision not to have sex. There is a major difference between not having sex and homosexuality. My inquiry was what homosexuality is exactly. Are homosexuals, bisexuals, transgenders born that way? As I mentioned before, I cannot imagine any straight person turning gay. It appears anti-gay groups claim it is their choice and gay groups respond back that they were born that way. At least this is what I found while doing a bit of research. If a person is born gay, then I would think that it is a mental disorder. But it is who they are. Some people are born with mental disorders and shouldn't be prejudiced. It would be like restricting marriage between the developmentally disabled, the deaf, people with speech impediments, on wheelchairs, etc. Personally I don't care if it is a choice (although I would be amazed how one can suddenly choose homosexuality) or are born that way. But if born that way, then all the prejudice is outrageous. I think it would beneficial if the pro-gay groups actually EXPLAIN what homosexuality is for people to understand it better. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1155690 United States 03/03/2011 01:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You are not born gay, because there are many many peoplec who were "gay" then decided that men weren't for them anymore and went back to women. These people were gay, not bisexual just gay, then changed to straight. And there are some men who were straight and then decided they liked men. It's a choice like any of sexuality or fetish. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1168506 United States 03/03/2011 01:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll try to explain in parts. Depending on the reactions to my posts I'll either continue or discontinue my insights. There is no use to me in having my efforts stopped by spam. Homosexuality is based on feelings towards the same sex. Though there are cases where an individual (forcefully) chooses to engage in homosexual activity, for several reasons - chemical necessity (prison), money (porn), and others. The choice is made when an individual with these feelings (biochemical, spiritual, etc.) are acted upon. One becomes "gay" when they fall in love with a same sex individual, and the relationship becomes beneficial to both individuals. Again, being "gay" is more of a personality type than a sexual configuration. For example, a heterosexual couple can claim to be gay. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1168506 United States 03/03/2011 01:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you see where I'm going with this, you can say "well if they're victims, you can't really blame the victim". Sometimes there is no "trigger" involved. The topic of homosexuality (and being "gay") is incredible complex IMO. It's a (paradoxically) creative form of sex, involving artificial means - condoms, lubricants, chemicals (for sanitizing, etc.), and toys. Chaotic. |

B-Easy User ID: 1247703 United States 03/03/2011 01:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi all, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1282619After years of being bombarded with pro-gay and anti-gay opinions in media and elsewhere, I still don't comprehend the issue. And frankly getting tired about it when there are far more important matters in the world in my opinion. So I did some quick research to see what the fuss is all about, but still could not come to a conclusion based on reason. It seems homosexuals claim it is by birth, while anti-gays claim it is a choice. Did I get that right? Don't scientists know the answer to this? So what is homosexuality exactly? Can someone kindly explain. - is a gay person born that way so they are not sexually attracted to the opposite sex from a young age? - are there any straight people turning gay later in life? Personally, I can never imagine myself with another man at any point in my life. I feel nauseous even thinking about it. I cannot fathom any straight person 'choosing' to be with the same sex. So if homosexuality is by birth, shouldn't it be considered a type of mental disorder (which is nothing to be ashamed of or prejudiced)? I don't mean any disrespect when I ask this, I only want to comprehend the issue because nobody really explains exactly what homosexuality is, only preach what their views are. Appreciate any feedback. Thank you. It is only nature... Animal's bare homosexuality in every species... I believe people was born homosexual... I believe that this is what makes this world colorful... If everyone was the same... this world would be a boring place to live... We all need to love each other for who we are and stop supporting classification and keeping people in groups and keeping us separated... This is how the Elites want us to act... Policing each other so we can be in groups instead of coming together... We would be impossible to control... and that is what this is all about... Control!

Dr. House User ID: 1281930 United States 03/03/2011 07:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As for Science and 'belief'. Science has pretty much demonstrated that Noah's Flood could not have been a global flood. There is no physical evidence of such an event. Yet we have billions who believe that Noah's Flood took place exactly as the bible described. 'Belief' of a thing doesn't mean a person is correct. Unfortunately many people have certain 'beliefs' about homosexuals and homosexuality. Yet in both cases we have people who believe that being gay means you have sex with anything that moves (you are promiscuous) and that every gay man 'takes it up the rear'. As for homosexuality being a 'mental disorder'. When stacked against the ever increasing number of other species where homosexuality and bisexuality take place on a regular basis, it becomes clear that homosexuality falls with in the parameters of sexuality for many species, including humans. To say that being a homosexual is a 'disorder' is like saying that a person who doesn't like chocolate suffers from a disorder. While 95% of the population like or even love chocolate, there is that 5% who can't stand the taste of chocolate and actually think its the nastiest thing on earth (Personally I loath chocolate, its nasty) Does this mean that the 5% who hate chocolate suffer from a mental disorder?

Mercurius User ID: 1081195 United States 03/03/2011 08:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've never liked the argument about choice. For most people straight and gay it is not a choice. But ultimately its freedom that matters rather than if its a choice or not. America is not a theocracy. No one should have the right to impose there religious ideas of right and wrong on me. End of story. |

Pheromones are naturally occurring chemicals in the human body that are attractants. It appears that while straight people are attracted to and release cross gender attracting pheromones, gays release and are attracted to same gender pheromones. Quoting: Dr. HouseI'm gay myself, but i have serious doubts about there being "Gay pheromones". |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1273882 Canada 03/03/2011 09:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I still can't figure out what they've done to harm anyone? They can't turn people 'gay'. They aren't randomly attacking heterosexuals (like we are towards them). Why does anyone give a fuck to be honest? They exist, get over it.. homophobes. I think there's a clear distincting between sexual freaks and homosexuality. Homosexuality is innate, born with the trait. Call it a mutation or whatever. We all have mutations and trait characteristics or we'd all look and act the same. I'd call that a boring fucking world. Sexual freaks or deviants want to fuck everything in site, male/female/both and can switch back and forth. But you know what, they don't even bother me either. Who cares what happens in the bedroom either? If the homosexual agenda bothers you, well you may as well give up on all your favorite hollywood movies/tv. Just about every bit of entertainment we enjoy today is created in some part by homosexuals. They're good it.. and good on them. Rant over. |
