I've been thinking a lot, over the past few minutes, about homosexuality and all that it entails and provokes.
The most interesting aspect of it all seems to be homophobia. What provokes it? Is it at all rational or only emotional?
This is what I would like to discuss with you, dear fellow forumer, because I'm bored and have nothing better to do. ;) :D
What's your attitude to gays, and homosexuality in general? More interestingly, why do you think you have this attitude?
Last time we had a thread discussing homosexuality it brought to the attention how backward some parts of the world are from the input here. It was even suggested it was attention seeking and that people chose to do it. Probably asking for a flashpoint opening this discussion again.
Myself and my friends are XXX. Those people over there are different because of YYYY. Kill them.
Sums up a good deal of human history.
Homosexuality is not the same difference as fans of different football clubs or political sights. It is antinatural sickness, degeneracy. No different than pedofilia, necrofilia, family-filia etc.Quote:

Whereas being gay does nothing of the the sort.Quote:

I'd like to focus on the word 'antinatural'.Quote:

If so, what is 'natural', i.e. 'of nature'?
Mark you know when the term homofobia was invented? When the homos began posing with it and aggressively spreading their views over the world, attacking everyone who disagrees with them! When they started making parades in big cities and started making political pressure from very high levels on countries who didnt allow them (let alone marriages and child adoption)! When they started paying celebrities to defend their views in public and movie producers to promote them. When they started sponsoring schools and kindergardens to explain it to fragile little kids as something equal to normal and modern! There was homosexuality all the time, it is mentioned even in the jewish bible and ancient greek myths, but there's not written anything about homofobia because there were not parades and massive propaganda.Quote:

And this years tolerance award goes to...Quote:

No your finest hour, there... ;)
I'm not going to get wound up by Slowsons comments however backward and disgusting I think they are. I think it's frightening we still have views like this and no wonder we have so many hate crimes. I think I've found a use for my ignore list after quite a while.
You would be surprised how common SlowSon's view is in post-communist Europe. (I'm willing to bet a princely sum that he's an Easty, based on his comments..)Quote:
