Why Homosexuality Should be Banned

[Olorune]

Great video. At first I saw the post subject and thought, "The hell?!?", then saw the video and got a nice grin.

I thought the basement was just another place to read funny crap by the posters here, but reading some of it actually disturbed me 0.o On the bright side we are now BOTH scarred

I'm all out for gay rights and all, this video just makes me feel mad.

Mad at the content of it, made at the guy, what are you mad at?

Mad how alot of people don't support gay rights.

Fantastic! We agree then. I thought the reason was going to be something I could dispute

I like that video
The passive aggressive approach is always the funniest regardless of effectiveness
yeah i mean i agree with the point he's making there
that all these reasons are absurd. But the video was more entertaining than meaningful really
its all been said before in different ways

I use Ancient Greece as an example when I'm discussing homosexuality, but I always dread that they'll bring up the fact that the Greeks also had slavery.

Actually one of the books of Christianity (Sorry, don't know which one.) condones having a slave, and even details how to properly beat them and it not be seen as wrong in the eyes of the lord. I think it says something along the lines of if they can walk in three days after it, then it's fine and nothing is wrong.

Sweet, I'm sorted then. Thank you very much for that insight. Might have to look up the exact book and passage. Can never have too many details, and having details often leaves them shocked and confused.

I work off the principle that anyone who hates another does so not out of anger, but out of ignorance. Let us inform the uninformed!

Again how would you "Ban" homosexuality?

It has. But often hilarious satire helps drill the point home XP

Yup, we had an anti gay group at my old school a few years back (Catholic School, so they thought it was a good thing) and one of my friends who was outlay gay at the time, used that quote and just stunned the whole room into silence, it was hilarious.

Side note, I'm actually going out with her now, so next time I see her I'll ask what book the quotes for, it's a great argument stopper.

Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to anger. A fairly watertight concept, I think. You're right. Inform the uninformed! [sub]and if we can mock them in the process, so much the better...[/sub]

By making it illegal, I guess. It used to be in a lot of places and still is in many more. Was only a few decades or so it was decriminalized in the U.S, I think.

We don't mock! We just point out their little errors in... thinking and stuff, lol.

But if they're so far gone they can't understand the mockery, so much the better. I see no problems with this plan!

Operation "information for homosexual freedom" is a go!

I'm sure it would be. I'd love to use it in some of my arguments.

 

[Lilani]

hey hey hey HEY
Homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom

Again how would you "Ban" homosexuality?

Neither of you watched the video in the first post, huh?

 

[Schadrach]

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.
to quote Mr. Thomas Jefferson on the issue of religeon
" 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

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.

Personally, I think the only real answer to the gay marriage question in the long term will be to simply completely detach the legal and religious concepts of marriage, and the only way to do that is going to be to separate the verbage.

So give gays civil unions, and do so as part of a process of calling "legal marriage" civil unions, and making it clear that legal marriage is a separate "thing" from religious marriage. If your church then wants to claim that any given couple isn't *really* married because they are gay, interracial, belong to a different faith, or whatever -- more power to them; it has no effect on how they are treated by the law. Likewise, it's fundamentally protected by the free practice clause to deny any persons any religious rituals in any religious organization for any reason. For if you evangelical protestant church doesn't want to marry gays, that is very much their right.

 

[Broken Boy]

Are you trying to tease me?

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

I might be trying to do just that.

Evil! I like it...

Well what can I say except I am a bit evil. ; )

I don't read up on studies but from my perspective I have to think it's more genetic than environment. I was raised Baptist (ugh) but from an early age I knew I liked both boy's & girl's even being brought up in a very & I mean a VERY straight environment. I had no contact or any other influence other than straight life till my teens & found my fathers Bisexual porn. By accident of coarse *wink* so just from growing up this way both Bi & Trans that I have to think it's more genetic imo.

I actually grew up not thinking about sexuality much. I had a few gay crushes here and there, but nothing major. I found girls very sexy, just like all my friends, and loved me some solo and lesbian adult material (cough). Buuuut, I almost felt asexual; I didn't really have any urges to actually be in a relationship or to seek out sex. Then a little while ago I started looking into transgender and realized I was deeply attracted to the idea of being in a relationship with someone who doesn't fit the gender norms. No idea why, though. Still to this day I'm conflicted with the issue and am not sure what sexually arouses me the most or what I really want. I think I'm slowly learning more about myself and it seems I might find the anatomy of girls very slightly more attractive than guys, but I'd prefer to be with a guy or a transgender girl.

It's a complicated thing, sexuality.

That it most certainly is sadly. I tried to curb my urges sorta or at least appear what I thought of as "normal" at the time over masculine only dated girl's & even got married for 14 yrs & had children. My wife found out she would snoop through my emails and found that I was flirting with boy's and such. So my bisexuality was exposed early to her at least, later she found out I was trans & well was supportive that time, after the blow out we had when she found out I was Bi. I thought well this is going to really get bad but no she said she had suspected for a long time. Now I am out and proud sorta ( the sorta is because i would be prouder if i was the right gender) but I like boy's & girl's pretty much equally & yes I find trans people attractive to. or as I tell people " I like boy's & girl's & anything in between".

Ok I will stop with my life story now my bad. ; P

 

[Alexlion]

Maybe im sheltered or its an American thing but i wasn't aware there was such a large anti gay movement, i generally thought people where acceptant or at least tolerant of it i mean its the 21st century.

Great! I'll have millions of leaflets printed, and have them airdropped from space.

I saw troll thread. I saw 100+ replies. I was confused, and looked at troll thread.

Troll thread did not exist. Instead, I was amused by a cleverly sarcastic video. Well played, sir. Well played.
