Sorry to bring it up but...
>Why can't we as a society get past the whole sexual oriantation(ms) thing? Why can't we just allow people to be happy with thier partners regaurdless of them being male or female? Is it really that big of a deal? I honestly don't think it is...
That's why you're my babies mama *wink* :grin: Love yas darlin!
very well said Sis big hugs

Those were some really good points that you made. It sort of turns the tables around you know. Like what was being said before about BW nobody had anything to say because techinically they didn't care. But now that it's about homosexuals it's a big deal to everyone. Ironic. Talk about playing favorites. Sigh... sad world. It's unfair. And it almost seems like there's no point. And those who don't have to deal with things like that are lucky and take it for granted. While others have to deal with it even at a young age. People need to stop living in small boxes.Any other way around it, it's all wrong and people shouldn't be so negative about things and learn to accept it.
When the same issue that you've already replied to five times comes up again, there should be a way to push a button, have something figure out how you already answered, and have it automatically get pasted into the reply box.
I already have so many bookmarks (or "favorites", as IE calls them) that it's impossible to find anything when you need it.
ohhhhh. well i edited it and decided to sent in PM and not post here.. so i deled wut i asked so yea.. thats uy it looks liek ur talkignto nothing LMAO
It's like I'm replying to the voices in my head.
lol..
BUT there is also evidence proving you are not born gay... Which is my belief..
So you think that being black and being gay are even close? Definetly not.. You are BORN black.. Black and white people are very similar.. i know many black people.. and i know that they are very very very similar to my white friends.. I don't feel any difference between them
Actually I havent had sex with a black guy since my ex boyfriend.. But they are two completely different things
BUT there is also evidence proving you are not born gay... Which is my belief.. But there is no proof either way! What if you're wrong? Where is your evidence that people are all born straight?New Genetic Regions Associated With Male Sexual Orientation Found (WebMD, January 28, 2005)Scientific study crucial to "gay gene" issue (Seattle Times, January 4, 2006)In reply to:But outside the scientific community, Hamer says, it's still widely believed that gay people somehow choose their orientation, and this further fuels discrimination.(In July of 1993, Science published a study by Dean Hamer which claims that there might be a gene for homosexuality.)For sdp: Are There Advantages to Being Homosexual? (Lorne Warneke, M.D.)In reply to:Kirsch and Rodman, two evolutionary biologists have stated that if a structure, function, or behaviour occurs in a number of individuals in a species and if this persists through several generations, than that feature can be presumed to serve some evolutionarily advantageous function. That is, it must contribute to the survival of the species by giving an advantage to individuals possessing that feature. Homosexuality, both male and female is a behaviour that certainly occurs in a great number of individuals and has certainly persisted for many generations. Therefore, according to Kirsch and Rodman's statement, homosexuality must be an advantage to those individuals who are so as well as to the species.
Sniffing Out the Gay GeneSteven PinkerPublished: May 17, 2005 in the New York TimesCambridge, Mass.IT sounds like something out of the satirical journal Annals of Improbable Research: a team of Swedish neuroscientists scanned people's brains as they smelled a testosterone derivative found in men's sweat and an estrogen-like compound found in women's urine. In heterosexual men, a part of the hypothalamus (the seat of physical drives) responded to the female compound but not the male one; in heterosexual women and homosexual men, it was the other way around. But the discovery is more than just a shoo-in for that journal's annual Ig Nobel Prize - it raises provocative questions about the science and ethics of human sexuality.Scientists and perfume marketers who believe that humans, like other mammals, respond sexually to chemical signals called pheromones were cheered by the news. But we are a long way from dogs in heat. The role of pheromones in our sexuality must be small at best. When people want to be titillated or to check out a prospective partner, most seek words or pictures, not dirty laundry.The difference in the brain responses of gay and straight men does not, by itself, prove that homosexuality is innate; after all, learned inclinations, like innate ones, must reside somewhere in the brain. But in this case nature probably does trump nurture. Gay men generally report that their homosexual attractions began as soon as they felt sexual stirrings before adolescence. And homosexuality is more concordant in identical than in fraternal twins, suggesting that their shared genes play a role. Homosexuality is a puzzle for biology, not because homosexuality itself is evolutionarily maladaptive (though no more so than any other sexual act that does not result in conception), but because any genetic tendency to avoid heterosexual opportunities should have been selected out long ago. Perhaps "gay genes" have some other compensating advantage, like enhancing fertility, when they are carried by women. Perhaps the environments that set off homosexuality today didn't exist while our genes were being selected. Or perhaps the main cause is biological yet not directly genetic, like differences in hormones or antibodies that affect the fetus while it is developing.Just as puzzling is the existence of homophobia. Why didn't evolution shape straight men to react to their gay fellows by thinking: "Great! More women for me!" Probably the answer lies in a cross-wiring between our senses of morality and disgust. People often confuse their own revulsion with objective sinfulness, as when they dehumanize people living in squalor or, in the other direction, engage in religious rituals of cleanliness and purification. An impulse to avoid homosexual contact may blur into an impulse to condemn homosexuality.Cultural conservatives like the talk-show host Dr. Laura Schlesinger ostensibly condemn homosexuality for another reason - that it is a "biological error." Actually, it is she who has made the biological error. What is evolutionarily adaptive and what is morally justifiable have little to do with each other. Many laudable activities - being faithful to one's spouse, turning the other cheek, treating every child as precious, loving thy neighbor as thyself - are "biological errors" and are rare or unknown in the natural world.It's not just anti-gay commentators who see a moral coloring in the biology of homosexuality. Some gay groups condemn such research because it could stigmatize gay people as defective and lead to a day in which parents could selectively abort children with "gay genes." Others welcome the research because it shows that people don't "choose" to be gay and hence can't be criticized for it, nor could homosexuals convert the children in their classrooms or Scout troops even if they wanted to.It may not be a coincidence that the new discovery came from researchers in Europe. In America, the biology of homosexuality is a politicized minefield that scares away scientists (and the universities and agencies that pay for their research). Which is a pity. Regardless of where homosexuality resides in the brain, the ethics of homosexuality is a no-brainer: what consenting adults do in private is nobody's business but their own. And the deterrents to research on homosexuality leave us in ignorance of one of the most fascinating sources of human diversity.Steven Pinker, a professor of cognitive science at Harvard, is the author of "How the Mind Works" and "The Blank Slate."
Therefore, according to Kirsch and Rodman's statement, homosexuality must be an advantage to those individuals who are so as well as to the species.An advantage to the individuals and the species..Hmmmm... I guess I could read that as saying: "They get what they like, they don't procreate, thus their genes are not passed on to a new generation ... which is advantageous to the species... because if homosexuality were normal the species would die out."
If maleness were "normal", the species would also die out. If aggressiveness is normal, then why isn't everyone more aggressive, and getting more so each generation? Likewise for timidity. Is it normal to be a worker ant or a drone bee? They're sterile. Evolution had determined that a certain mix is advantageous to the species' survival.Homosexuals rarely reproduce, yet there continues to be lots of homosexuals. The question then is, why does the percentage of homosexuals in a human population remain so constant? I believe it's the same with other mammals.
I AM BURNED OUT OF THIS TOPIC!!!!!We will never make you people understand and I’m really tired of this game....Let’s just leave it as you have your opinion and we have ours…I am sooooooooo tired of hearing about how heterosexuality is normal and homosexuality is not...On judgment day, most of you people will have to answer for your hypocritical opinions. I look forward to the day that the human race is not so hung up on sexual orientation. As a person, it really doesn’t matter what who I have sex with or who I fall in love with…Is falling in love with someone a choice? ….I could give a rat’s ass who you have sex with, why is it so important to most straight people, to determine who we have sex with….. Trust me... A gay person wouldn’t want to have sex with people like you …We are the ones with taste!You religion and beliefs are your choice. Our sexual orientation is genetic. Someday you’ll see. But until then, try showing us some fucking tolerance like we have had to do for you all of these fucking years!!
How about some plain ol fashioned tolerance all around. The type that would render lame threads like this one obsolete. The kind in which one group of folks allows the other group of folks to believe what they want without being called names, while the other group of folks lets the one group of folks practice a form of sexuality they believe is wrong without being called names.Deal?
