A lifestyle preference?
Should one be fired b/c their preference is to have sex with a minor? It is their preference after all.
What about if they choose more than one lover?
an animal?
Serial Killing is a lifestyle preference. So is stealing, and conning folks.
It is my opinion that people who are homosexual are obsessed with sex, and little else is on their their mind, except proclaiming their victimhood.
Their agenda is to make what is wrong, right. That is never going to happen, no matter what laws they manage to change.
Woe to him who says right is wrong and wrong is right.
So says the wise King Solomon in the book of proverbs.
MOO
Yosande,
With all due respect, it is true that some homosexuals are obsessed with sex. It is equally true that some heterosexuals are obsessed with sex. I could even make an argument that all humans are obsessed with sex and that every last one of us has an agenda, but that's probably a thought for another thread.
Pedophelia, bestiality, murder, stealing and conning are morally wrong because they always cause harm to sentient beings who are unwilling and unable to make a choice to consent to what is being done to them. The same cannot be said of what consenting adults chose to do with each other and their own bodies, and so these comparisons don't hold water. Homosexuality is uncommon, to be sure, but it is not immoral.
Do you know many homosexuals? I simply ask because your experience seems so very different from mine. From my view, humans who are emotionally, spiritually and physically attracted to humans of the same sex have the same dreams, desires, attributes and defects as humans who are attracted to the opposite sex.
I admit that I have a hard time with whatever spin factory decided to deem a human being's most intimate and personal relationship a "lifestyle choice." If you believe that homosexuals choose their sexual orientation, why do you think that is? I mean, do you think homosexual sex is just a lot more exciting than heterosexual sex and so that's what draws a person?
I will agree that, because human sexuality is a spectrum, there is an element of choice for some people - more evident in those who identify strongly with bisexuality. But some of us fall on the ends of the spectrum and so identify more fully with *advertiser censored* or hetero. I don't ever recall choosing to be heterosexual - it's just where I naturally landed. The same is true of most, though not all, other heteros and homos who I know.
May I also ask - in light or your right/wrong thoughts - what you think of homosexuality in nature (ie - the penguins that have made this thread, et al...)?
