The most incredibly stupid ignorant hateful thing I've read Follow

Except that it doesn't stand to reason. Why must there be a duality there at all?

Being flim-flammy on the subject may be obscuring things. Lets look at it logically from both standpoints:

1. Suppose I believe homosexuality must be a choice. It follows that if I believe this, I also believe that homosexuals that believe otherwise are either lying to themselves, or lying to everyone else, about it being an instinct for them. I know that as a heterosexual, there was never a conscious choice involved for me. Therefore, homosexuality=choice (based on what I deem as common sense and natural history) and heterosexuality=instinct (based on personal experience).

2. Suppose I believe homosexuality must be instinct. I then also believe that heterosexuality is an instinct. Simple one.

In either case (and I must say, I'm leaning towards #2, although part of me still wants to believe #1), heterosexuality is an instinct. There is no need for the duality that you're basing on nothing.

Okay here's a simple test: ask a goddam homosexual whether they ever had an instinct to be heterosexual.

They feel the same way about their sexuality as you feel about yours, you knucklehead.

But YOU argued the point using your views.

It's interesting that you think so.

And it's funny how that works regardless of sexual orientation.

Thank you, Mindel.

Scientific proof has nothing to do with people being protected under the law.

Now you're just being silly.

In this case, the scientists agree. There is not a credible or reputable scientist anywhere who will claim that homosexuality is not something one is born with just as with heterosexuality is inborn, nor is there one who claims that it can be changed. The ones who do make those claims are laughingstocks and quacks.

Perhaps she can borrow one of yours, Totes.

I opened quite a can of worms here, but the point remains: choice or instinct, there's no reason to deny someone their right to happiness.

Sure, but that's because I am an artiste' largesse, Sammy. My work is done primarily in broad strokes, literally and figuratively. No one expects Van Gogh to produce a detailed work and neither should they expect such from me! My medium is the written word and the computer is the canvas upon which I type, "Starry Night.."

:D
