I doubt Homosexuality is Genetic, and it is definatley not chosen, so I'm open for ideas over in the neutral ground.

Have you got issues? Because you've made it a point to share your opinion on homosexuality in every possible thread where the issue is raised. You sound like a repressed man on a mission.

I should also note that the belief that if someone doesn't like gays, then that proves that he's gay himself is a colossal steaming mountain of liberal horseshit if I've ever heard of one.

Well, while it might not be true for many who take an anti-gay stance there are reasons why it is a valid considerations:

1 - Why does a person become so very anti-something that really they have no apparent connection or reason for such venom? Like a person being vocally anti-sushi despite never haven eaten it or had any bad experience stemming from it.

2 - Often the best place to hide something is in plain sight. Who would suspect homosexual tendencies from someone so vocally against it (despite not having any real reason for it?) In the past gays have simply married and tried to live heterosexual lives. These days there are examples of closet gays who, unhappy with their own feelings which for whatever reason make them feel bad (like a self-hating Jew) take them out on those comfortable and at peace with the sexuality.

3 - And, to be fair, this kind is veritably fascinated with the subject. I can see you have pretty much tracked down most of the homosexual threads on this forum and returned them to life - for no reason other then to express your dislike. They often bring it up for no other reason to reiterate how anti-gay they are...

Researchers at the University of Georgia conducted a study to determine the cause of homophobia. For the purposes of this study, "homophobia" was defined as "a negative emotional reaction, e.g. anxiety, discomfort, fear, etc. to homosexuality."

Of a sample of 64 men, none of whom had engaged in homosexual behavior in their lifetime and whose sexual fantasies involved only women, 35 were rated homophobic and 29 were rated non-homophobic according to the Index of Homophobia.

The men were then shown gay, lesbian, and straight adult films while a plethysmograph device measured the circumference of their penis as a gauge of sexual arousal.

The two groups exhibited similar arousal when they viewed four minute samples of the lesbian and the straight adult films, but responded differently to the sample of the gay film.

Of the non-homophobic men, 66% experienced an insignificant degree of penile tumescence, 10% experienced a moderate degree of penile tumescence, and 24% experienced a definite degree of penile tumescence.

Of the homophobic men, 20% experienced an insignificant degree of penile tumescence, 26% experienced a moderate degree of penile tumescence, and 54% experienced a definite degree of penile tumescence.

The researchers concluded that this data is consistent with the belief that homophobic men have repressed homosexual desires.

Yes, I'd heard about that study not long, it provides some excellent ground work for further studies on the subject.

Australia? That explains it....


Two things:
1. you just used an American fault to describe how twisted and
"skewed" i was and then u say its cause I'm Australian.
2. Australia kicks Americas arse in just about everything there is to know.
the UN voted Melbourne (which isn't even our capital):
The most livable city in the world.
The most successful public transport in the world
The worlds number one tourist destination.

now that last one is not solely on the fact of our landmarks and destinations its based alot on tourist acceptance and helpfulness.
now that is just three for one city, Now for Sydney:
The UN voted Sydney:
The most memorable New years celebration so far. (2000)
The most advanced Counter-Terrorist unit in the world.
The most consistent waterway public transport system in the world.

Shall i go on...?
The UN voted Australia:
The most Multicultural Country in the world.
(2nd: England, 3rd: France, 4th: India 5th: America)
The most progress in a nation.
(For how long we have been around compared to every other country, and considering the fact that we came from Convicts and Migrants)
The biggest rate of scientific discoveries in a nations history.
The most international giving nation in the world.
(Considering Nations all over the world provided over US$7 billion in aid for damaged regions,
with the governments of Australia pledging US$819.9 million (including a US$760.6-million aid package for Indonesia),
Germany offering US$660 million,
Japan offering US$500 million,
Canada offering US$343 million,
Norway offering US$183 million,
and one of the supposed richest countries of the world, the United States, offering US$35 million initially (increased to US$350 million),
and the World Bank offering US$250 million.
According to USAID, the US has pledged additional funds in longterm U.S. support to help the tsunami victims rebuild their lives. On February 9, 2005, President Bush asked Congress to increase the U.S. commitment to a total of $950 million, which Australia have now tripled and we still have thousands of people over there to help rebuild the place and we still have hundreds of Peacekeepers there as well to help sort out major issues of panic, jealousy and stealing.

Bush also asked his father, former President George H. W. Bush, and former President Bill Clinton to lead a U.S. effort to provide private aid to the tsunami victims, which in the end still was a measly effort at aiding indonesia.

The thing I ask you is: for the time that your country has been around How much have you done in comparison to our "meager" lifetime. and if thats not even the end of it, your Prisons reached an average of 2 million prisoners last year, with Australia reaching around 26,000 prisoners in 2005.

As a percentage of total population, Rwanda has the largest prison population as of 2002, with more than 100,000 (of a total population of around 8 million), largely as a result of the 1994 genocide. The United States is second largest in relative numbers with 486 prisoners per 100,000 of population, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, also making it the largest in relative numbers amongst developed countries). New Zealand has the second highest prison population per capita amongst developed countries, with 169 prisoners per 100,000.

Now tell me why i myself being Australian is a fault?

oh and please don't call me honey, or are we going out now?

Valid Points, but there are the opposites as well.
i'd like to point out the reasons i'm against homsexuality: Religion, My father is and he's only doing it for fun and it wrecked my family, and i find its harder to be straight these days than to be gay.

Do you really think homosexuality wrecked your family, or was it your father, who happens to be homosexual.

Chirstianity has ALWAYS been wrong on equality issues. Its just 200 years behind where intellectuals are.

And its harder to be straight that gay? Then why is "gay" still used as an insult? Please.

I'd call that a bad choice, which jeopardized your family... Homosexuality isn't the culprit, just a bad decision.

If you're father would have been honest about being gay in the first place before he married your mother, you might not have been born.....

Wrecked your family? How old are you ? I can understand if your 12 and feel that way, but if you're 18 and you still care about the sex lives of your parents, then you need to grow up !

Harder to find being straight than gay ? WTF are you talking about? Most people are straight....you're a dumbass yes

How would you have a basis for comparison unless you have been both straight and gay?

So are we going to have to read this same post over and over again (again)?

I guess when someone finally responds to it, he'll stop re-posting it.

I find it every interesting tho, cuz the thoery behind most homophobia is that homophobic men are so uncomfortable in thier own sexuality that they do not want to be assossiated with gays.

I doubt hr's doing it for fun. And him being gay didn't wreck your family. Your disdain for it allowed it to wreck your family.
