Homosexuality is Natural, Harmless, and Deserves Your Respect

Let's clarify.

Anything that occurs in the natural world, meaning the physical existence we occupy, is NATURAL. When people say "homosexuality isn't natural" you have no idea what the duck you're talking about.

Human beings are animals, our cities and our lives are still a part of this earth, of this universe, of this nature. Also, bonobos are animals.

Homosexuality is Natural, Harmless, and Deserves Your Respect

In fact they are our closest DNA relatives. Studies have shown that homosexual behavior occurs in roughly 5-10 percent of many mammalian species. Including these bonobos, including dogs, sheep, dolphins, AND HUMANS.

Homosexuality is UNCOMMON NOT UNNATURAL.

You know what else is uncommon in humans? Dwarfism. But I don't hear anyone calling peter Dinklage an unnatural, disgusting individual. He's friggin awesome 😎

Homosexuality is Natural, Harmless, and Deserves Your Respect

I'll preempt another common stupidity here:

Homophobe say: "but pedophillia is just as natural, is that coming next? Are we going to start accepting pedos?"

No, and here's the difference. Please listen and take notes.

CONSENTING ADULTS!!!!! Homosexual relationships are between CONSENTING ADULTS!!!!!!

You're only trying to conflate two people loving each other as on the same level as child rape, because you're fucking scum and you've run out of excuses to justify your prejudice. No other reason.

On to how harmless homosexuality is.

Did you know that thousands of gay people fucked last night, and you didn't die? What is this sorcery? It's almost like...it doesn't even affect you😱Omg

keep it in your pants homophobes, I'm way ahead of you on your laundry list of bullshit claims.

Homophobe say: "but AIDS!!!!!"

Occurs in straight couples too, in fact the lesbian community has the least occurrence of aids and it's not like straights are the holy ones and therefore immune to genital warts, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, I can go on.

Homophobe say: "but domestic abuse rates!!!!"

Are bullshit, because it's very hard to get any kind of statistic like that accurate due to the majority of cases going unreported. And also, like straight people are the holy ones and never have abusive relationships? Bitch please.

Homophobe say: "but they don't add to the population!!!"

Neither do sterile straight people. Neither do straight people who just decide they don't want kids or just stay single. Besides have you heard of overpopulation? I think we can spare 5-10%of the population not helping us race toward exhausting all resources on this planet ffs.

Point? You have no excuses to see gay people as less than you. So grow the fuck up.

So here's my challenge. I want you to think about your best friend. Someone you've known all your life and highly respect. What if they told you they were gay?

Does knowing that information now change all the laughs you had together? All the good times and bad times that you stuck together in? I would hope not. All the while you were ignorant of that part of them you were able to appreciate them as a marvelous human being. What's stopping you now?

Furthermore, homosexual relationships deserve your respect, because they deserve the same respect as anyone else's relationship. Would you tell a straight bride on her wedding day "I don't support that"? You'd be a complete douchebag if you did, because the proper response to hearing about someone's wedding is " hey good for you congratulations"

Then you shouldn't say that about gay marriage/relationships/people, and yes they are people just like you.

Homosexuality is Natural, Harmless, and Deserves Your Respect

I'm making this my take for the sheer volume of homophobic people on this site and there's a lot that's for sure. Please read what I wrote here and think about it. Drop the bullshit for two seconds and you might just walk away with a new perspective.

  • Wow, this Q has a lot of hate I think. I like looking @ both sides. I do think, that everyone should be able to express themselves. But people get angry, when they feel like you're making them change for you, like forcing them to change their lives. I love lesbian porn, and gay guy porn, and could careless what people do in their lives. I might even want to try some bi things myself, srsly.

    But a few times, I got into arguments with lesbians. It was online, but I had asked a question about something to do with sex. So these random comments come up, and start telling me off for not being more open minded, for my definition of sex. I know they were just haters... but some other people joined in.

    So I won in the end. I told everyone that I have my definition of sex, and you have yours. That worked at first, but some still told me that I had to change *my* definition for sex to match theirs. So I told them, if you had been more respectful and didn't demand me to do it, I would totally have changed my question and say, maybe I only wanted straight people to answer or something that shows I acknowledge what they said.

    I would have changed it too. But what bothered me was the demanding, like the entitled attitude. And I never mentioned gay people in my question, they just shoved it at me (It was a really sex positive forum, and they wanted me to say that the word sex, doesn't just mean intercourse), and used it as an excuse to try and attack me. But after I said all that no one replied back and some people were reported haha.

    So yeah... I actually could agree with that definition of sex (I had just picked a random word for sex you know? Like it was a simple question about stuff you do in bed). But I think this is why so many people are offended. It's not the fact anyone's gay, but the fact that you force other people to change their lives, or at least it can come off that way.

    I have the way that I live my life and how I define things, so to tell me that should change all for you... that's really not fair. And like I said I'm totally openminded, but demanding people to do things is not how you really have change.

    This example isn't the best, like really not the best, but it's almost like... how if you couldn't speak English but wanted to live in the USA. You can't just tell everyone, to stop speaking English for you. You can be with fam and friends and in private and talk like how you want, but otherwise you have to adapt.

    • *Oh, this is a mytake haha Still... I reread and agree with everything I said, but I think you could actually get 'everyone to stop speaking English for you' if more people were just srsly less demanding about all of this. I just said the example was bad since there's different sides to everything, and I've heard terrible stories from gay people suffering a lot.

    • So yeah... lots of people could just hate them because they're gay, but even that could at least partially be because they feel like it changes their family or the structure... not saying it's justified to hate at all. But I have dealt with the entitled thing from gay people, not just that 1 time online but in other instances, and it can be really bad.

    • Sorry, I'm not a great writer so maybe I don't use best examples, but I'm fucking pissed at all the people who can't just see gay people as people.

  • I don't get all the hate either. I'm overall a pretty traditional conservative, yet I couldn't care less.
    Natural or not, doesn't really matter. Harmless - Of course it is. I've had friends, male and female, that were gay/bi. Never affected me or anyone else. Anybody that's bothered by it needs to grow a spine and get a life. As for respect, I see respect as earned, not given. But I don't need to respect someone to be civil and polite.
    And anybody that pulls the religious beliefs card needs to pull out of their ass or at least not stick their nose into other peoples business. Agree with it or not, what two adults do in their personal lives is none of my business nor anyone else's.

    • I simply have better things to do with my time and energy than harass people that have done nothing against me.

  • Natural and harmless? Sure i can agree.

    But deserves my respect? Why? Why does sexual preference deserve respect? Also most people on this site aren't homophobic, stop pretending they are so you can have a fake crusade against a non-existent enemy.

    I also dislike the notion that homosexuality is normal, and before someone claims i'm against homosexuality i'm not but there's nothing wrong with someone is uncomfortable seeing 2 girls / guys kissing. Obviously if homosexuality was normal there would less people by its nature, that's not saying you should be against it but you should be accepting the other side of it.

    • It's not normal, but neither is have the shit you do when no ones watching. Just don't judge people. And yes there are quite a few homophobes on here.

    • Anyway, Tell me why it matters if it's normal? Olympic athletes aren't normal, Mozart and Beethoven weren't normal, no one should have to fit your description of normal to be accepted.

    • Its amusing that your comparing homosexuality to priceless pieces of art which really highlights the problem we have today. People holding homosexuality to a higher standard and ruthlessly defending them against an enemy who doesn't exist so they can feel good about themselves. I have gay friends and i'm sure you do to. They're not special or different from anyone else yet you insist on comparing them to Olympic athletes yet you don't realize that you're being detrimental by annoying people for putting gay people at a higher standard.

  • i agree with this completely. and i really hate the word 'homophobia' because it's a misnomer~ people aren't afraid of gay people; they're assholes.

    • Wow thank you! that's a point I've been trying to hit home. I think it's probably wishful thinking on the victims part.

    • you are most welcome.

  • No, that is your opinion, doesn't make it fact and there are imperfections in nature we all have been guilty of imperfections. Our God is perfect, we an all turn to Him in Jesus. All of us, me included. God bless.

  • I don't care what other people do with their lives such as long as it's understood that their rights end when mine and other people's begin.

    For me, being hetero is the healthy and natural and no one will be convincing me of the opposite.

  • I don't really care about gays, transsexuals, etc. but I REALLY hate the "It's natural" excuse. Guess what! In some species it is also natural to kill their newborns.

    • And overall the notion, that if animals do it then there is no reason why can't we, means you consider yourself nothing more than an animal. Then why are you surprised if someone treats you as one?

    • @Phantonium Thanks for saying this. The "it's natural" excuse is the worst. Let's see... animals eat their young, eat feces, have sex with other species, and have forced sex with juvenile females.

  • I have nothing against gays. They are humans and deserve to be treated as such. Do I approve their lifestyle? Not so much but then again, that's none of my business.

  • A same sex desire natural and harmless, but certain sexual *practices*, like sodomy, ARE inherently unsanitary and dangerous.

    • What you mean is you don't know how douching works and you don't know what condoms are. But yeah I agree to some extent, it can sometimes be "icky" like most of our pesky bodily functions. Ever try dealing with a period? I'll call that shit sodomy and I'm not even religious.

    • Only a third of gay men actually engage in anal sex, so go figure. Straight people can also have anal sex, so by your logic they're disgusting too.

  • I think when people say "not natural" they mean for procreation purposes. It's not natural in that sense because it doesn't go towards the original reason we are here. That being said I think it's normal to be attracted to various types of people. I don't think attraction always has to be sexual. I think some people are under the impression that liking or admiring or having any sort of feelings at all for the same sex means you need to do something sexual with them. Sometimes people are attracted to others because it fulfills an emotional need they have as well, sometimes they admire others, sometimes they just don't know why they like them exactly. It's all so complicated if you stop and think about it.

  • Can someone against gay marriage answer me why? Even if it's "unnatural", how does who another person decide to fuck or marry impact you in anyway? Why do you have to barge into other people's lives?

    • I agree. No one has the right to infringe on other people's harmless choices.

    • The thing is this sounds good on paper but its purely "feel goody." Its like someone saying "why would people step on babies, fuck people who step on babies!" when there's barely anyone stepping on babies. Its just dumb.

  • Not going to go into this at all since I have no difinitive opinion, I just want to say that using nature in other ecosystems is not a valid argument. Other animals, including chimps, kill one another. Some animals eat their weakest young. The praying mantis female eats the male's head while mating. Seriously not for or against this topic (well I am FOR their rights ) but I just want to point out that the animal kingdom is not a legitimate juxtaposition

    • Because humans are so above killing each other😒 We are animals, we are not above nature.

    • Doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to become a higher being since we have the ability to understand

    • Homosexual people aren't lower than you goddamnit! You haven't risen above nature just because you're straight. Gay people like to touch different genitals then you, and that's the only fucking difference.

  • First of all, homosexuality doesn't deserve anyone's respect. People are capable of deciding what they want to respect. I accept homosexuality but do I respect it, no. Why? If homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality why should I give it precedence or hold it to a higher standard?

    You can't use animals as a ruler for how natural homosexuality is because in the wild animals who show homosexual behavior are ripped apart. If you don't believe me, look it up for yourself. Even cubs are killed for showing homosexual behavior. Animals are lower than man yet they don't even accept homosexuality.

    Nonetheless, animals are filthy. They roll around, play in and eat their own feces, are you really going to use them as a compassion to homosexuals? I'm not sure about you, but that's pretty ironic and it's more against your argument than for it.

    Also, you can not use dwarfism as another comparison because dwarfism is a disorder. A defect.

    I also find it very funny how you have to insult people who disagree with your outlook on life. Just because someone doesn't agree with homosexuality, doesn't mean they're a bad person. Have you ever heard of people who disagree with things but they still accept how the are. My great grandmother and her son for example. My great uncle was gay, my great grandmother didn't agree with homosexuality but she still accepted my uncle and loved him.

    • Not only that, but if you look at homosexuality from an evolutionary standpoint, homosexuality has no place. A man and a man can not pro create, a woman and a woman can not pro create. It's in our nature as humans to further our gene pools and continue the human race. If homosexuality was ever to become the norm, mankind would die out.

    • You must have forgotten we are animals as well. we have animalistic tendencies just like they do. Ancient Greeks and other ancient civilizations were filthy sex crazed animals who slept with guys and women.

    • @rsstanford Humans may be primates and classified as animals, but we aren't the same as the animals we see out in the wild or in zoos. Any one with common sense knows that. We are above animals, smarter, more capable. We're not on the same level as them and if you are, that is NOT something you should be proud of.

  • If you've never heard anybody call Peter Dinklage disparaging things because of his dwarfism, you've obviously never watched Game of Thrones.

    And... DESERVES respect? Do heteros deserve respect because we Peg D the Slot C? No. So neither do fanny bandits who Peg D the Slot B.

    Just mind your own damn business. You fuck what you like, I fuck what I like, don't make me look at it, and I won't make you.

    That's TOLERANCE. Not respect.

  • You should of done a poll to see if anyone came away with a new perspective. Nice take!

  • I'm sorry but nothing "deserves" my respect. Respect is earned. Not given.

    • Homosexuality is STATISTICALLY unnatural, not always harmless, and deserves neither my respect nor my rebuke. It only deserves to be left alone. I will live my life, they can live their's and I should not be obligated to give them treatment any different than straight people.

  • What I learned from the comments: females are more accepting and have legit comments on what you wrote, like saying it does not deserve respect but equality, instead of expressing homophobia that has NO legit reasons whatsoever like the males did.

    Go acceptance!

    • Most guys on this site are basement dwellers and idiots as this is coming from a guy. I do not take them serious.

    • @LoveHorses truth.

    • Girls are more accepting of everything this is why they date criminals who were accused of killing people or raping kids, it doesn't make it right but they do it anyway. women are emotional they dont think with logic, thats in sweden girls are being raped by the dozens and still supporting migrants cause " poor migrants have a shitty life, so raping them is cool " you say men on here are basement dwellers? sure some are that is bound to happen on all sites, but a lot are mature, outgoing and players who fk girls on daily basis, am i a basement dweller? no not at all i dated, and still dating girls, i have many friends i go out i talk to people all the time and i have a pretty logical and reasoable arguments, do i tolerate gays? yes as long as they dont over do it in public, do i like it? no not at all

  • It is natural, I've learned about this in several courses such as college level psychology. The prevalence of AIDS is there but such may be due to the fact that many homosexuals would not get checked up regularly from fear of being shamed or harassed.

  • I agree people should be able to live their on lives how ever they want. But people need to be able to hold their religions beliefs also.

  • I don't need to respect it or accept it.

    I do respect homosexuality but I don't accept it.

    This is coming from an atheist not a Christian.

  • Sure but show some common decency. I went to Disneyland a while back and three gay couples were making out anf kissing each other in front of my little cousin. She was asking me why boys are kissing boys and why girls are kissing girls. That's not a discussion I wanted to have with her considering her age.

    You are gay and that's completely fine. Realize that you are if the lesser population and it's seen as taboo and gross to a lot of the general public to see two dudes or chicks kissing each other in a grocery store.

    "Oh but straight people can that.. Why can't we?"
    Again because you are of the lesser population and logic tells me that social norms abide to the general population. It's unnatural for a lot of us to witness that.

    Also. Gay guys who do that unnatural flamer voice don't have my respect. It's annoying and I won't take you seriously if you talk like that.

    If you're gay then thats fine. Literally no issues with that. Just don't rub it in our face by showing a ton of public affection and don't talk in an annoying ass flamer voice. Be a respectful person and you'll receive respect from me back.

    • easy solution, via this conversation between me and my own cousin (i was 19 then, and he was 8): cousin: "why are those two guys kissing?" me: "because they're in love." cousin: "okay. do you have any crackers left?" see? kids get it. attitudes like yours are learned. and, while we're on the subject of what is/n't natural: -medicine -maternal instinct -surrogacy -pretty much any technological advancement in the history of ever. homosexuality occurs in hundreds of species, while homophobia occurs in only one. just some food for thought.

    • @vonasaurus You're clearly failing to get the point. Public displays of affection going too far for ANY couple is inappropriate/rude, especially if done at a location aimed at children (such as Disneyland). I doubt anyone would want to get into the whole story of explaining how babies are not brought into the world via stork delivery and how, in reality, it's a matter of hormone-driven penises going into vaginas. Because however many people (the amount is insignificant) happen to feel love/sexually attracted to people of the same sex does not, in itself, grant you any exemption from how hugely inappropriate the situation would be. Love is blind, right? So, by proxy, NOBODY, including homosexuals, are granted special privileges.

    • @vonasaurus see? kids get it. attitudes like yours are learned. and, while we're on the subject of what is/n't natural: It's not natural to the majority of the population. It might be natural to the gay man or woman but it's not natural for the straight man or women. The heterosexual make up the general population. You cannot compare this to medicine maternal or anything of that nature. That's not a direct analogy by any means.
