Is there any secular reason why being gay is bad?

RE: Is there any secular reason why being gay is bad?
Quote:How exactly is wearing a sleeveless tank-top and cut-off jeans while making out with your boyfriend is being disruptive? And what "extra" rights are they demanding
If not in public, it's not distrupting anything.
Extra rights? Well, depends on how you define "extra".
If I were demanding the right to education in a country, I'd be demanding a fundamental right. If I demanded the right to "Turkish education" in a non-turkish speaking country, I'm demanding an extra right. I guess it's pretty self-explanatory.
Quote:That, right there, is the nature of an animal. Even a dog will control himself when he sees his master holding the stick.
The dog will not control himself even for his master when you set before him his food.
Quote:If your society could actually control itself, then you wouldn't care if a person walks around the streets naked or snorts coke in the public park, because then the members of the society would have enough self-control not to be affected by that.
Not to be affected by such an ugly action in public?
The only self-control we'll be able to exercise would not to lynch him in public for snorting such stuff in front of our children.
Quote:Then you would not have to trumpet around your "public decency" argument.
Public decency is something you obviously not value. These values and rules are there fore a reason.
Quote:That pretty much says it all, doesn't it? So if your society decides tomorrow to execute every gay man, then they are doing nothing wrong, its simply the way things work.
Yes, of course. But they also could decide for the exact opposite. I still would have to go with it, or leave. That is the way things work, friend.
Quote:You are repeating yourself because you have no refutations for the arguments made.
There are no other refutations. I've made the necessary refutations in another thread already.
Quote:My existence disproves that. Short of anything illegal, I've practically flouted every other "public decency" tenet we have here, including public displays of affection and public nudity.
Public nudity is just one example. There are many other ways you can flout public decency laws.
But I guess you just can't.
