Billboard proclaims "Nobody is born gay"

[Exian]

So, Chad W., you agree that homosexuality is a naturally occurring thing, not a choice, and you can also see that these men and women are functioning members of society, so why go out of your way to call it a "deficiency"? Why bring "disgust" into this?

What exactly is the deficiency? They're low on....?

How is sodomy detrimental? Do people die when you do it? How is it more detrimental than walking down the street? Fuck me.

The drivel people come out with to avoid having to say that people who are different scare them.

I'd be willing to bet, without doing any research, that more women have died in childbirth than people have died from butt sex or lesbian sex (whatever they do, I haven't done hours of research in that, either ).

More babies have died as a result of straight sex than gay sex, for that matter.

The only thing exclusively detrimental to the LGBT community is bigotry.

Some basic precautions should be enough. If you're under the influence, be careful b/c reduced pain sensitivity, enough lube, protection,it's apparently not rocket science. Also, I've read that far from every gay couple does it, and of course vice versa many hetero couples do. Anyways, it's not like I'm saying anything new here...

We are not born homosexual or heterosexual, we are just born, we are then labelled to whatever preference we take, the genitals are there for reproduction, so whatever else we do with them is just for pleasure, heterosexualism does not own the monopoly on sexual pleasure.

A group claiming to advocate for "ex-gays" has purchased a billboard along a busy Virginia highway proclaiming that "Nobody is born gay," reports Richmond TV station WWBT.



PFOX is a nonprofit organization which claims that people can choose not to be gay, stating on its website that "people deserve to know the truth about the many men, women, and children who have made the decision to change their lives" and "overcome same-sex attraction." Founded in 1998, PFOX proudly announces it "was created specifically to be an alternative to the misinformed gay family groups which insist that parents only prove their love for their gay child if they support gay rights and affirm their child's self-proclaimed gay identity. PFOX teaches parents that it's ok to love their children without placing any conditions on that love."

lets answer this with science.
first of yes people are born gay its not a logical choice.
biology is one of the key reasons why people are straight gay etc.
and people being born guys feeling like girls etc.
its all biology and key circumstances during birth that cause that.

Nobody is born gay.

Nobody is born homophobic, either. I'd rather we eradicate that, instead.

Being homosexual is a deficiency?

Yes. It is contrary to the natural order,

Biology says otherwise.

Also, you need to explain why being contrary to the natural order, whatever that means, is inherently deficient. Is it deficient to use medicine? Is it deficient to cull overpopulated animals so as to preserve the environment and ease their suffering? Is it deficient to send spacecraft to the Moon?

Be clear: exactly how is being unnatural deficient?

since the defining desires of homosexuality are directed away from the proper use of human sexuality.

Who defines that? You?

Your opinion on homosexuality counts more because of ... what?

Fuck, I hate bigots.

How can something that occurs naturally be against nature?

Sounds like you're playing with words to be obtuse. All living things tend to a final end. The final end of an acorn is to produce a mature oak capable of bearing fruit. Anyone can see that if the acorn lands on hard ground or otherwise circumstances, then it does not realize realize its potential. In the same way a normal human being has fully functioning senses. That some people are deaf does not change the fact that human beings are intended to have hearing. This includes having natural desires for the things that are naturally beneficial (healthy reproduction) and being disgusted by things that are detrimental (sodomy).

Sex has more uses than reproduction in human society -- and other societies, as alluded to above when Abaris referenced bonobos, who use sex to resolve disputes, no matter the genders involved.

Looks to me like you're just using philosophy to justify your bigotry. It wouldn't be the first or last time I've seen that ... but it's nice to see at least the thin veil of education you drape over most of your posting pulled aside, so that your real self shows.

I don't care what fancy name you put in the "religion" field on your profile; you're a typical Christian with the exception that you know a few big words.

Well in Chad's defense, one of his god's main defining themes is telling his pet humans what they can and can't do with their penis'. His god is a dick, so being a dick to everyone else brings him closer to his god.. Simple..

Religion is good at keeping people bigoted.
