Oh, no question. To some people, it may seem a little overbearing to see so many related topics so prominant. It doesn't offend me at all, it's just kind of interesting.
What's nice is that they're all still going pretty strong, which goes to show people are being civil about it. That said, I'm all for rooting out the bad seeds.
Tex, you're way out of line, and completely wrong.
The only time I ever participated in ANY thread regarding homosexuality was the "adoption" thread, and my replies were relegated to pages 15 and 16, where you can see for yourself my supposed gay bashing extravaganza, complete with replies like this. In that same thread, you'll find that I claimed that I felt that homosexuality is neither chosen or genetic, perhaps both, since there's no evidence for either.
Listen up, buttercup. Not only did I have a gay roommate, who lived with me free of charge for SEVERAL months, I was a VIP member of Minneapolis' most exclusive gay night club, "The Gay 90's". Look it up sometime if you're ever in town. Go ahead and say what you really mean. Call me a homophobe, make your empty headed assumptions, whatever. That's what you REALLY meant.Besides, show me where I personally ever said ANYTHING about homosexuals being the same? I know/knew PLENTY of both teenage and adult homosexual males and females, well enough to know there is an apparent difference in their lifestyles, by way of maturity.
Again, twisting my words, not once did I say homosexuality was a "unhealthy lifestyle", I said the "unhealthy EXPOSURE" to a lifestyle that a child doesn't CHOOSE to be a part of is detrimental their upbringing.
Keep in mind that stereotypes are usually rooted in truth, and deviant sexual orientation does indeed exist, in both straight and gay people.
Just because I don't think homosexuals should be able to adopt doesn't mean I put a bounty on all the heads, or damn them to hell every night. It's a personal conviction, just like I don't think they should marry.
....and....
Of course I would. You can't deny someone's/your own child's personal convictions. Chances are, by the time a homosexual "child" is familiar with his sexual orientation, he will have already gotten "the speech", and be sound enough of mind to know what behaviors are associated with what orientation. I'd hope a parents love would be as unconditional as their minds would be open. I sympathize for those who aren't, though. Acceptance isn't easy, period.
Damn those homos...🙄
