Sexuality

[Statyk]

It amazes me that such a touchy subject has come this far without a death threat or a ban, or even a close of the thread. I can honestly appreciate a good argument, so long as it doesn't get out of control. The moment debaters swerve off the road, I stop the car and leave. If you fellas and ladies don't mind me applying my input, I would like to add it.

Let's start from the basics. I'm atheist, so there is no bias. I am going off of what I personally believe and my own conclusions that I have developed over time on my own ideas. No one has influenced the way I think because I think for myself. I do not need researched material and gospel to tell me what I should believe.

For starters, I believe homosexuality is a personal choice, I can't bring myself to believe you are BORN homosexual. This does not necessarily mean I disagree with homosexuality. I am merely saying it is something you learn. I was not born thinking I will later have sexual relations with a woman. It was brought up around me, such as having a mother and father, not having two mothers or two fathers. Had it been that way, perhaps I would have grown up homosexual. Now, before you say, "but homosexuals can be born into a straight family". What was it around them that made them think of dating a man? Or a woman dating a woman? They had to have seen or heard something throughout their life that influenced it. Perhaps a friend of the same sex has always been there for them in rough situations and the bond grows larger than "friends", understand? It's the classic battle between Nature vs Nurture. And throughout what I have seen as I have lived on this planet, the way kids are raised, I believe NURTURE plays the more dominant role.

As for the public display. If homosexuals want to hold hands while they walk, I'm not going to give it any more regard than if a straight couple were holding hands. If that's what the person wants, I'm not going to tell them it is wrong. If they were to kiss, yeah, it's going to make me a little awkward, but again, I would show it no more regard. It's their choice. What if someone had told you creating mods and games was wrong? You would keep doing it anyway, would you not?

In the end, I believe if there were no religion on this world, there would be less wars, less disapproval, and people would be able to come together better. Homosexuals should be allowed to do as they please, so long as they don't try anything funny with me. (I may be straight and accepting, but I am not comfortable with homosexual contact on my person. I get angry when a friend smacks my rear as though it were a joke or "encouragement") Keep sexual activities private, don't FLAUNT the homosexuality. Homosexuality is supposed to be a gender-love preference, not a fashion statement. I have a few friends who are gay and I enjoy talking to them. They are just as human as everyone else and it would be nice if all homophobes would kindly get their heads out of their asses and see that the world is changing and they should learn to accept it.

Is Justin Bieber going away any day soon? No. I have to accept that he will be around for awhile.
