Why Homosexuality Should be Banned

[Angry Camel]

Raised as a Christian, I believe in love the sinner, hate the sin. Hope that clarifies, I'm kinda used to people seeing me as a bit strange.

I still don't understand how it's a sin.

Can I depict some of the points that the person make?
Homosexuality is unnatural, Unnatural doesn't exist and homosexuality do exist in nature, within some animals homosexual intercourse is a form of showing dominance.
Gay marriage isn't supported by religion: So? Religion (Christianity)supports slavery, rape and and killing for stupid reasons within its religious text. and well law doesn't support those.
Gay Marriage isn't valid because they can't produce children: so what he's saying is that infertile people shouldn't get married? also since when has marriage been just about procreation, I thought it was about love between 2 people, what about those children in orphanages? they need parents so why not let homosexuals adopt? surely homosexual parents would be better then no parents??
Gay marriage will encourage others to be gay: This is stupid, Gay marriage wont encourage more people, it might give people more confidence to come out. and surely by that logic Heterosexual marriages discourages homosexual marriages?
Gay Adoption means Gay children: Uhh what? I'm not sure if I've lived some sheltered life but my parents had no influence in my sexuality. also he says straight parents only raise straight kids, WRONG! if that was true then how'd we get homosexuality?
Homosexual marriages are weird: It might sound strange to begin with however you'll get it
children cannot succeed without both male and female role models, well my father wasn't a huge role model for me, and well... I'm sorta succeeding, I'm not a druggy and I don't smoke also for all the points I would like some numbers and science for this one.
The majority of american blah blah blah blah what ever is popular is right: People used to think the world was flat, does it mean that it still is flat? of course not, we proven its round and if people are still ignorant to the facts then their fault. This one is sort of a matter of opinion, if I said "Justin Beiber is a good singer" although Beiber is a popular singer however its stuff a matter of opinion

Uhh... I know the guy was joking ¬_¬ heh... heheh...

And here I was ready to roll up my butch sleeves and take down a homophobe x3 What a delightful way to start my day.

The points brought up in the video always bugged me. Hearing the reasons mocked out loud just further shows how idiotic they are.

Haha. I liked this a lot. I'm catholic however, just so long as you call it civil union, and don't scream in my face while I'm enjoying my nice bowl of instant oatmeal ( he's right, so delicious it SHOULD be banned) I'm perfecly okay with them doing what they want.

" If a man proclaims there to be 20 Gods, or no God at all, why should I care? It neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket" Yes yes, I know I got a part of it wrong, I just wanted to convey the message

I disagree completely, but I thank you for taking the time to come back and clarify it for me.

snip for space!

This is a total waste of a quote, but I just had to tell you how cute your avatar is.

Lol. Glad you got something out of it

Oh my gosh, you sound awesome ^^ I am in love with certain goth styles, especially the fancy kind and the lolita kind. So hawrt! Oh and black nails. ^^

My Second Life Self not in anything frilly at that moment just hanging out as my goth lolita self. ; P


And for those who would say SL sucks or something like that. All I can say is I get to be myself there. ; )

I completely agree, the only point I don't agree on is his metaphor for hanging around tall people because it has been proven that sexual preference is influenced by environment and isn't entirely down to genetics

Otherwise, spot on

Why should we have to call it civil union? Now, the Catholic church certainly shouldn't have to be forced to marry homosexuals, but if they are married in a church that accepts it, it's marriage.

But marriage is a legal act, not one of religion. If you don't want certain people being married in your church, I can understand that. But marriage itself existed long, long before Catholicism and is purely a legal issue nowadays.

Lemons? Lemons have a bad history with me. They can be very surprising.

Did you get attacked by a lemon?

Great first thread by the way. Well done.

hottie

Are you trying to tease me?

[sup]It's working XD[/sup]

I don't think it's proven exactly. I've seen a few conflicting studies in the issue and believe sexuality (real sexual urges, not simply how one acts on them or how they behave for the sake of culture - an entirely different issue) to be entirely genetic.

That's just my opinion and I'm well open to being proven wrong.

I second this very well done.

I found this video and thought I'd share. Pretty old now, but I've only seen it today.

What do you think?

I thought it was great. The (sarcastic) points were pretty funny and actually hold up nicely as counterpoints to a lot of anti-homosexuality arguments. The editing was a tad annoying, but whatever.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him."

I hope you are familiar with that quote, it is taking the opposing argument and representing it in the worst light is a very effective way of proving your point and getting past the linguistic traps of obfuscation that the anti-gays use.

Compressing their argument down to a neat essential point and instantly countering it with irony is a great arguing style.

The only response the anti-gays would have it to attack from a completely different direction, but I don't think there is one left.

It has been a while since I saw a good thread like this. Keep it up!

I'm glad you enjoyed it

My eyes were surprised by link I received one day from a friend via MSN. If I had gone in expecting what I saw I'd have been fine. When you are sitting in the living room surrounded by family? Well, then it's very, very awkward XD

Never again will I party with lemons!

 

[sluggyfreelancer]

I approve of this video. Funny and shows the stupidity of some people.

A 'First I was then I loled' picture would do quite nicely in here.

 

[duowolf]

Cool video thanks for sharing it as I for one hadn't seen it before

Oh. THOSE lemons. You have my condolences.
NEVER click an unknown link if someone else can see your computer.

Exactly. This is one of the reasons I love Marcus Brigstocke, or Charlie Brooker, or comedians like that. They make their point by destroying the opposite view by giving examples and then pointing out the gaping flaws.
