Midas Dekkers on Homosexuality

[leo-rcc]

Sorry, but I guess we must be watching different videos...

Obviously

the video I watched had the guy saying that homosexuality wasn't natural,

No he is saying that all homosexual behaviour as documented in nature are NOT exclusively homosexual, and when it comes to it the animals in the books will revert to heterosexual sex immediately.

that all the examples in a certain scientific book are wrong because they happened in captivity

No he is saying that the only example of pure homosexual monkey was in captivity, the rest that showed homosexual behaviour in the wild revert back to heterosexual behaviour

and that the bible clearly teaches that homosexuality is wrong.

Which is also true, the bible does teach that. You are missing the last point obviously. He says humans should not stare blindly at other animals behaviour to explain yours or mine.

I can't see how it can be taken any other way.
Unless the subtitles are wrong, I can't see how this message is correct at all. I don't care if he doesn't mind gay people, I care that he thinks they are not natural and can change.

He NEVER, and let me make that perfectly clear, he NEVER said homosexuals can change. But he made it absolutely clear that homosexual behaviour in the wild by any other species than homo sapiens is not exclusively homosexual. And people should not use that argument to explain homosexuality as natural. Natural for Homo Sapiens maybe, but not for other animals.

I just watched it for the fourth time, I think the main problem is that you cant really detect the irony in the subtitles.

Like in the end what he says is not that he doesn't mind they are gay but:

As the saying goes, some of my best friends are gay. Some might say as gay as a horse. That they are gay is because thats what they are. That they are my friends is because they don't blame the horses for that.
