Now on to one of the sub questions. Is it natural? Well, someone mentioned that it wasn't natural only for humans. Now, why this discrimination? If the Gods of various religions keep throwing and creating people who are homosexual, either a) They're bad factory operators or b) Something is fishy with whatever anti-gay talk religious conservatives swear is sacred.
But isn't it fine for someone to believe for oneself that homosexuality is wrong? After all, it is one's personal opinion.
Well yes, techinically its also fine to hate all black people, and to think of women as lesser beings. But you cannot let that influence how you treat these people because it isn't fair to them. If you are going to, then you will need a good argument for why. And so far one hasn't been presented. Though there are plenty for why they should be respected.
Okay. I was referring to homosexuality rather than homosexual people. The idea versus the people who believe it. Does that make more sense? Not to bash on homosexual people just because they are homosexual, for example. It's like prohibiting someone from your house just because they were wearing a plain t-shirt and no other reason.
Oh okay. I get it now. Yeah, or like not being someone's friend just because they like pain. Its not fair to them.
But is an issue such as this specifically right or wrong? Homosexuality (or sexuality in general) appeals to me like music - either I like it or I don't, it's a matter of my opinion. Maybe I like metal, maybe I don't. That shouldn't necessarily alter the opinion of anybody else's.
same for me. its not right or wrong because its part of what someone is. but those who are against it think it is wrong.
so if we knew that homosexuality wasnt wrong we wouldnt be here right now.
Wait... Do you mean as if we all had the same opinion on homosexuality? You are confusing me. Do you mean 'knew' or 'thought'?
i mean knew. if we all knew the same thing wed have the same opinion about it and wouldnt be here.
Except that it is not.
except the word "knew" doesnt work in your sentence because i "know" that it isnt wrong just like you. and this leads to this:
what is wrong in your opinion? whatever youve been told by your religion im guessing?
unlike you i have my own opinion. and i think that something that hurts someone is wrong. homosexuality doesnt hurt people, so it is not wrong in my opinion
Opinion would be 'thought', in that case. If you know it, it's a fact. That might clear up some confusion. We both think that homosexuality is a preference and a matter of opinion, so it seems, so it would be thought instead of knew.
yes i thought about fact/opinion after ive posted XP.
if we knew that thing we wouldnt have opinions because it would be a fact. which is the reason why there isnt a "murder, right or wrong" thread XD

Then I guess I am a religious fanatic in ur opinion ryte?

You contradict yourself. You are treating homosexuals differently because of your opinion(s).
