    Homosexuality seems to happen, regardless of laws. I think people are generally born with it. That at some point they will be sexually attracted to the same sex. A joke of mother nature perhaps. Or a comedic God.

    The mechanism is not fully understood since sexuality is wired so deeply inside and across the mind. There's a genetic component, but there also seem to be external factors that cause certain genes to turn on or turn off. It's certainly not a choice but a natural attraction.

    Yes perhaps more complex than my idea embraced. But these people are sexually attracted to the same sex where the very thought of it makes me sick to the stomach. Nurture or nature? For me it seems to be nature, nature creating a heterosexual. But I may not be like other heteros, but I think most of us are in my camp. We never chose, consciously, but nature was dictating the object of our sexual desires, even after hating girls until puberty. ha ha. Something happened to us at that age. And very natural given the prime directive of life seems to be to procreate in interest of survival of the species.

    That’s strange, the gay population goes up over 1% a year, your ilk... not so much, seeing a decrease of 2-5% a year. Not that people like you ever use factual data to base your delusions on anything.

    BTW, aids rates have dropped 18% in 6 years and doesn’t just affect homosexuals. We are likely to see tremendous drops with new anti-virals and increases of sexual education protested by the dying off bigots, except for areas in the south that are hell bent on refuted practices of the 1800’s.

    What adult you sleep with is none of the governments business.

    There are more gays born everyday. About 3% of the births will be gay when they get older.
    But bigot gay haters are not being born everyday. Very little, I bet you grandkids don't even agree with you.

    Most people just call them pedophiles. It's people who are prejudiced against homosexuals who make the distinction.

    Yes, society and the culture is changing. Someday you'll be able to hump anything you want to. It's not for the better.

    What you do in your bedroom is your own business. I don't have to know about it. This is a public discussion, why? because there are those of you that want to make it public. Defenders of perversion.

    Something is immoral when it hurts others. Being offended doesn't count. It is definitely for the better when society moves in that direction.

    I believe judging when it hurts others is far above your pay grade.

    LOL, no my pay grade has more to do with whether body parts need to be removed. Little stuff like that. But that sounded more like an ad hominem than an argument. I actually did expect to have to rebut something because there are possible arguments you could make, but alas, no such sophistication.

    As a member of the current form of our society, you are required to think so. It’s instinct.

    Deviant, is subjective.
    You were asked what is not deviant sexual behavior. And you gave a non answer.
    Sex is for pleasure and for those in love wanting to express their love for all consenting adults. And even many teens to teens.

    You believing fairy tales doesn't help your case either.
    For a very long time, the age of consent has gone up. Guess which states it is still low, southern christian states. Probably due to Mary mother of Jesus giving birth at 12 yrs old.

    I can decide. And many many folks also can decide, especially if adult. But it does NOT have to be how you envision it. Period.
    Each can decide for themselves, consensual and legal.
    Hell, many participate in illegal sex by paying $$$$ for it.

    No one is asking to have sex in public, why make things up?

    Sure they are.
    Yeah, that too.
    Big deal, heteros who defend perversion aren't anything new...
    ...and it isn't like that lie is anything special.
    indisputably factual, obviously...
    ...which is why your response is limited to vacuous imbecilities...
    ...and typically tedious projectioneering.

    What special treatment to gay people get?
    Tell me how homosexuality is being shoved in your grandchildren’s faces. You don’t want lesbians coming on to you ? in my life experience it is men who come on to me and it is straight men who are usually the problem with sexual assaults etc. By the way most pedophiles are nice heterosexual men
    And most of all why do you reduce homosexuals to sex acts

    I just recently did a prejudice workshop with a bunch of high school students. They have to hold signs whether they agree a little disagree a little, I agree strongly or disagree strongly with different statements. One of the statements is gay people should be allowed to marry. Without a second hesitation they all held up strongly agree. These are teensager s and when I began this program over 20 years ago the response was quite different
