Who indeed? Seems that some scientists - trying to cure gay male sheep because, well, they don’t tend to breed more little sheep with their penchant for buggary, have been told “Hands off, you hateful, homophobic, bigoted breeders!” by the Gay Lobby.
Seems the Homos are worried that, say, if someone finds the genetic marker for their “born that way” behavior, they might find a cure for it - or at the very least, abort the potential little boys they might want to sodomize when they grow up (to one degree or another) later.
I have always said that a gay will get a lot more traction with me if they use the “I choose to have this kind of sex” line of reasoning, then with the “I can’t help myself” line, mainly because the latter is patently untrue. This is a case in point. Imagine someone saying “Would I choose this living hell?” If they meant it - would they not jump to avail themselves of a “cure?” If it is a misery for a gay child - well, abortion does solve that problem. These people do walk hand in hand with the pro-abortion crowd.
Seriously - I may not choose to bust my leg, or get strep throat, or any of a myriad amount of ailments - but if I decline treatment, I sure as hell “choose” to remain that way. If I start up “Parents and Friends of Gimps Hobbling Around on Improperly Healed Fractures” and start pissing and moaning about parents who choose to have their kids broken legs set, well, what does that say? I mean, Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick.
You know, I may think gay sex is deviant as hell. And I do. But most gay sex is a heck of a lot less “sick” that beating someone for sexual p0leasure, or urinating, or defecating on them - or being the recipient thereof. Yet I don’t devote my time decrying the Potty Sex lobby. Hmm - wonder why that is?
Oh, yeah. That would be because there isn’t one, mayhap? Maybe I don’t say diddley because they aren’t marching in the streets, copulating in public, desecrating churches by tossing condoms about, pushing for laws to give them extra protection, or expressing their peculiar brand of affection in a public display. I guarantee, though, if some Kinkmeister went and whizzed on his girlfriend as a PDA, or was being flogged by his girlfriend on the street corner - or in front of the class of 10 year olds he was teaching - I’d probably bitch a bit. Maybe that is because the Kinks keep their shit discreet and in the privacy of their homes, and behind their bedroom doors instead of making a spectacle of themselves. Maybe they say “We choose to be this way, live this life, keep it private - so mind yer own business.”
Hmmm. Nah - obviously I’m just a hate-filled breeder.
amfortas said,
Nature gives homosexuality to pretty well all mammals for some obcure reason. Maybe it is a ’steam release’ mechanism. I certainly have no problem with accepting homosexuals as equal in societal terms. But forcing it onto people is an entirely different matter. As would forcing deafness on people.
I agree with you also that some people seem curiously eager to accept and spread the message of homosexuality while being reluctant to praise and accept and prozletize other sexual abberations. Many of those others are quite mild and even interesting in terms of a bit of variety and fun, in moderation, but I don’t see anyone publishing pamphlets for junior school children extolling the virtues of BDSM or X-dressing or any of the other strange things that fairly ordinary consenting adults get up to.
