Reasoning showing homosexuality is evil.

I hope I haven't offended you with my views here Joods? I don't run around saying I have a mental disorder when I talk about my homosexuality, but I do see it as having it's roots in psychology rather than - or more than - genetics.

 No, squishy, you haven't offended me. I guess this topic is really sensitive for me, given that not only is my son gay, but he's been diagnosed with at least four mental health issues. He's been labeled enough and we, as a society, really need to stop using such labels if we are ever to move forward in our acceptance of everyone - gay or straight. I always come back to saying that what two people do behind closed doors is none of anyone else's business and those two people don't deserve to have a mental health label placed on them simply because certain members of society can't handle what they do in private.

That's good to know The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you or your son... or his boyfriend... with my views. It's very very difficult to talk about these sorts of things because there is so much baggage associated with these words... these labels... so even if it's meant in some technical or benign sense, that's rarely how it's taken by people not interested in the finer points of an argument; some people just see the label and stop there. For my own self, I don't think of myself in terms of labels at all; I used to... it used to be all about being gay and my whole identity revolved around it, but now I'm just me, who just happens to be gay. So yeah, I agree, labels suck.
