Should homosexuality be outlawed?

[msc545]

The right wing hates gay people and is very afraid of them, so should they be outlawed? The right wing says being gay is a "choice" and denies that people are born that way - so...

[slatyb]

Right. We should also outlaw being left handed, having red hair, being stupid enough to vote for Trump.

[msc545]

We must also outlaw failing to take the trash out on trash day, having the wrong shoes, and having bad hair.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Why should it be outlawed? Some busybody religious nut homophobes hate it?

[msc545]

Well, the entire right wing in this country seems to hate it because it makes them feel really anxious about their own. Homosexual urges. So I thought if we outlawed it it would help them to come down a little bit and not be so worried.

Homosexuality is generally only legal in dying countries as it reflects a population that has gone insane in its disconnect from reality and obsession with short term self-pleasure.

"values" which tend to doom civilizations just like it dooms any person who embraces them personalty.

What separates humans from animals is our ability to reason, when we throw away that reason in favor of what feels good we are reverting to judgement to that which was destined for a primitive hunter gather technology and life style. This of course even with moderate adjustments does not work.

[msc545]

@monorprise So it should be illegal in the US? What you wrote is confusing.

@msc545
You cannot outlaw a thought or desire, merely it's expression like sodomy, thief, or killing all of which are commonly desired and though by large numbers of people.

So your question makes no sense.

That said I in my state level absolutely outlaw sodomy. But would mostly insist on teaching children in school that they need to use their logic, not their "hearts" IE emotions unless they want to act like animals.

[msc545]

Why outlaw sodomy?

[msc545]

Come on. I'm curious you must have an answer for this. You are the one that said sodomy should out be outlawed so I was just wondering why seriously?

[Opinion Owner]

@msc545
I also have a full time Job and family can't be answering questions 24/7

Sodomy has no practical benefit beyond its potentially addictive features for some people. It should therefore be illegal for the same reason addictive drugs are illegal to provide a means to help such people in our state. Otherwise such people can simply leave my state.

[msc545]

Do you think people somehow become addicted to sodomy? How does that happen and why?

[Opinion Owner]

@msc545
Its how the human brain works when its screwed up. As mentioned people need to learn to rely upon their logic and reason to work toward productive ends not their often messed up and always obsolete feelings.

[msc545]

Do you have some information about how the brain works? If so - please do tell me.

[msc545]

I didn't think so. Homosexuality just scares you.

[Opinion Owner]

@msc545 I seem to have lost track of this post:
www.psychologytoday.com/.../addiction-and-the-brain

Murder scares me, Homosexuality and the associated waste of vast resources and misdirection of society to support it which we simply can't afford anymore scares me. Our society is going extinct because far too few of them are engaged in the activities nearness to keep it alive.

Homosexuality is part of that problem both in how it destroys the indiviual who has it and how its acceptance redefines the social focus on outdated indiviual emotional feelings rather than practical outcomes as uses our logic and minds.

Your feelings evolved for a world that ceased to exist more than 10 thousand years ago. If you don't control them and use your mind rather than let them control you, they will destroy you and our civilization. Homosexuality is only ever justified on the basis of following said feelings.

[msc545]

How does "destroy the indiviual who has it" ?

[Opinion Owner]

@msc545
Homosexuality exposes the indiviual to pointless risk and inhibits their ability to carry on their family line, effectively destroying them.

[msc545]

What is the pointless risk and how does not carrying on the family destroy someone?

[Opinion Owner]

@msc545 pointless risk is risk for which there is no offsetting reward, and without caring on the family your life ends with you and might as well never have existed in the grand scheme of things.

[msc545]

That is meaningless drivel and you know it - or should.

[Sevenpointfive]

i have a couple gay acquaintances. i worked with both of them so i probably wouldn't have been their friend otherwise. but i found out that they are attracted to women to a degree. it's like they say, they have about a 10% attraction to them. i wouldn't call that bi, but they aren't all out queers. some are very gay and beyond help! those kind should be corralled into sanctuary cities specifically for them

[msc545]

Why should they be segregated? What is the purpose of that?

[Sevenpointfive]

don't you feel like they deserve to feel comfortable where they live? why do people have to cater to them?

[purplepoppy]

Does the right have anything to offer the world but hate? Even if you removed every group they hate they'd move on to another.

[Rachey1986]

Nope, never. people should be free to be themselves. Who they love or sleep with doesn't affect anyone but them!

[lightbulb27]

nope...

freedom. as long as they are adults, it is their life to work through.

but I can see some arguments to protecting children from errant ideas.

gay people are the least of my concerns.

[Anonymous]

Sexual orientation has nothing to do with you being able to do your job. Being a good person, you know decent member of society like what crazy what if people that are close to you and your family and you know all of those things you’re gonna ostracize. This is ludicrous

[Berethor]

I believe that gay marriage should go back to being illegal in US, it not a thing in my country.

[Anonymous]

I would be content with imposing a civil penalty: a person found guilty of homosexuality should be forced to pay for the surgery to make an illegal alien into a transgender. Sounds fair, right?

[Straight2thepoint]

No one cares or has cared about their choices. It's only a big issue because they blow it up and forced everyone to acknowledge them as if they never existed then forced it on kids.

[Anonymous]

People should be free, who ever they want to be.

[Ladsin2]

The right wing hates gays and are afraid of them? I find that to be a vast generalization. I bummed your dad, and loe-and-behold here you are to bitch about it all these years later.

[elaphe]

Are you refering to homosexual inclination or behavior?

[RedInnocent69]

Funny how the right also pretends to believe in freedom

[Anonymous]

I don’t think anyone seriously proposes that

[Anonymous]

No. You can't outlaw mental illness (homosexuality). But you CAN outlaw homosexual BEHAVIOUR... especially when it's publicly displayed

[Anonymous]

Yes. It's more fun that way.

[NathanDavis]

it's not a crime
