    Can a 16 year old give consent? In some states the age of 14 is legal age of consent. But in any which case who are we to deny who a pedaphile is born as. They didn't choose to be that way. Are you condemning them based on how they were born? Answer carefully, don't want to be hypocritical

    If nobody cares, why do you Cons keep wanting to pass laws that restrict gay rights?

    The moment a gay gene is able to be identified in utero, pro-abortion couples will me murdering those babies in a heartbeat, a tiny heartbeat.

    But honestly, I knew plenty of gay men in SF during the AIDS breakout and many were simply sexual gluttons. No way they could get as many partners needed to satisfy them if they were str8.

    It's comparable. I'm not saying the latter is legal, I'm just saying they are born that way in thinking kids are attractive. Now are they born that way, or is it a diseased mind? If they are born that way, do they not have a right to live the way they were born, have the same rights as anyone else?

    Sounds like a perverted behavior.

    If society decides they do sure. So far we have had the courts dictate what should happen and that is not very democratic.

    When they harm others, damn right I condemn them. You have a right to be you, you don't have a right to infringe on the rights of others.

    God I hope you don't have children. You might confuse them with consenting adults since you can't seem to tell the difference.

    No its a question you dont want to answer because you are afraid. Is someone more likely to be gay if they were molested as a child yes or no?

    Pedophilia between persons of the same sex is homosexual activity.

    But they were born that way. You surely wouldn't condemn someone for simply being something they were born as. What about their right to a pursuit of happiness to engage in romantic relationship and Marty who they love. Don't these people have rights? If the only thing getting in the way of their fair treatment and happiness is man made laws that recognize their position, shouldn't those laws be removed or made to allow them to marry who they love and are attracted to?

    something doesn't have to be genetic in order for it not to be a choice.

    Not in a significant way. AIDS deaths are down in the US.

    And gay women have the lowest rates of STDs in America. Their homosexuality doesn't seem to be harmful.

    Because if you were to be truthful the answer is yes
    .

    Homosexuals are also more prone to pedophilia

    There was no rights context in that exchange.

    By raping children? Of course not. How patently ridiculous to advocate.

    People are also born sociopaths. When they murder people, I condemn them. I don't give a flying (*)(*)(*)(*) how people are born. I care what they do, and when they harm others, that is cause for concern.

    A homosexual relationship between two consenting adults harms no one.

    .

    What was I not truthful regarding?

    Which is, of course, nothing more than a bad right stereotype put forth out to the bowels of bigotry.

    what does being born gay have to do with serial killers?

    do you not understand that it's stupid comparisons like this, and to pedophilia and bestiality that makes conservatives look so silly?

    Not what I said. I stated, very cl,early, very, very clearly, that pedophilia between adult and children of the same sex is not homosexuality.

    Very clearly. So clearly, incredibly clearly. The two things are not synonymous.

    Then the question beocmes why such a push to force, and I mean force in the worst way, everyone to blindly accept homosexuality as genetic? The answer is simple. The lobby wants to piggyback the civil rights movement. I the 90s the movement was split between those trying to piggy back pro-choice and those trying to piggyback civil rights. All that has changed marketing department settled on piggybacking the civil rights movement.
