    Equal rights is supposed to be equal

    we are talking about an event to recognize gay-sex. It has nothing to do with how one is born or other traits (such as handicapped) that cannot be changed.

    to insist that a person must perform services for the celebration of gay-sex is over-reach by the govt

    Imaginary financial punishments don't really count.

    I don't see this occurring in the reverse either. Now you have been asked to prove it several times but you and I know there is no proof for the claim. So it must be imaginary.

    Pretend financial punishments don't count.

    Because people are just not born different. Really? Seriously?


    {QUOTE}With respect to relegation, that is utter hogwash.[/QUOTE]

    Then enlighten me. You made the profound statements about drug addicts in one breath and then proceeded to compare gay people in the same.

    And you have an extreme problem with this. Why? I don't know, but it seemed clear there was plenty of denial to go around for centuries, but since gays are "denied nothing" now, I guess we all should pack our bags and head home, right? I am sorry, it does not work that way. You have issues with gay people and continue to have them with every post you make. It is not my problem with your issues, that all lands at your feet.


    Because discrimination is discrimination. Granted, it is different, because one involves skin color and the other involves sexual orientation, but the key thing is discrimination is ugly no matter who it is directed at. Don't like the facts, then that is not my problem, but it seems clear to me that you have some real issues in this area and you apparently can not see the difference on discrimination when it is directed to a multitude of groups.

    Where the hell have you been? It is called experimentation, but it may happen more often.

    There’s a pretty clear gender divide in how Americans deal with straight people who dabble in gay activity. When heterosexual women make out with one another at a bar or party, it’s generally understood that they’re simply playing around for attention, or exploring the fluid space that is female sexuality. When heterosexual men hook up with each other, on the other hand, it’s seen either as an act born of desperation — think men who are locked up — or an indication that while they may claim to be straight, they really aren’t — think disgraced GOP members of Congress. When straight women hook up with other straight women, no real explanation is required; when straight men hook up with other straight men, it’s a different story.

    This divide stems from a common understanding of human sexuality: The female variety of it is more malleable, more inherently open to experimentation and variety, than the male variety. In Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men, out last month from NYU Press, Jane Ward, an associate professor of women’s studies at the University of California, Riverside, makes the case that this is a flawed understanding. In doing so, she shows that homosexual contact has been a regular feature of heterosexual life ever since the concepts of homo- and heterosexuality were first created — not just in prisons and frat houses and the military, but in biker gangs and even conservative suburban neighborhoods. Given how prevalent this behavior is in so many different sorts of settings, Ward suggest it’s time to stop explaining it away — and argues that society’s conception of male heterosexuality is an unrealistic, expedient one.

    I recently wrote a blog post about the music video for singer-songwriter Steve Grand's song "All-American Boy," in which a gay man falls in love with a straight man and they share a quick kiss. In that post I addressed why gay men might be attracted to straight men, but that question raises another: Why might a straight man be romantically or sexually attracted to other men? Why did the straight guy in the video kiss the gay guy back, after all?

    The following scenario happens many times: A man comes into my office, referred by his own therapist and clutching coming-out literature that the therapist has given him. He explains that his therapist has tried, unsuccessfully, to help him come out as gay or bisexual, but even though he's had sex with other men or gone to gay porn websites, he insists that he isn't gay. He says that he isn't homophobic either; if it turns out that he is indeed gay or bisexual, he'll accept it and move on with his life, but the label just doesn't feel right to him

    So, reparitive therapy is not forcing Christianity on homosexuals.....? Do tell.
