MrsBadExample Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This is a good way to put it, honestly - and the least hostile way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHINESE BABOON Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'm all for gay rights, but this argument is a poor one, just because someone is born with certain feelings does not justify their actions. Playing the Devil's Advocate, if pedophiles are born attracted to children and din't choose to have these feelings, should society berate them? Should there actions towards children be justified and not criminalized. That being said, I do believe Gay people are born that way, they can't control their feelings and that's the way they are, I'm just saying that my Uncle was also born an alcoholic, and cannot control his cravings for alcohol, does that justify his actions? Gay couples should have the same rights as any other couples, I just believe there's much more sound reasoning then the "I was born this way", especially since the other half of the LGBT movement tries to argue that people are born the way they are to justify homosexuality, BUT then argue that people aren't born the way they are intended to be to justify transgender and sex changes. You can't play both sides of the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBL DUECE Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I agree with Chinese, just because you feel a cetain way doesnt justify your actions, even if your are straight still doesnt make Rape ok, even if you have those feelings. I do beleive that they should have the same rights, but I dont think they need to redefine marriage to get it, define what gay marriage is and the rights with it. Being straight or gay shouldnt define you as a person I would hope it would be other traits that define who you are as a person. I think people can be born pre-dispositioned towards certain things but they are still able to choose how to act or not act on them, thats what makes us human.

PeeKnuckle Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I don't think there was an argument here or any sort of justification. The person giving the interview asks two questions. By asking those two questions, he opened up some minds, and the people asked got it almost immediately. For me and maybe some others, it broke down some stereotyping about homosexuals. That maybe "it's choice only or maybe a mixture of both". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I knew a girl that explained it to me exactly this way. Made sense then, still does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark95 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think CB said it perfectly. I do think some people need to grow up and learn that even if you disagree with somebody's choice because you think it is wrong doesn't make them a bad person.

green grenades Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It's a fetish thing, I prefer large butts and blow jobs. Some dudes like sucking dick. Still don't care much for gays though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 You also idolize action movie stars and wrestlers. If it were a choice, I don't think the amount of people in this world that are gay, chose to make their lives more difficult and the focus of scrutiny.

We live in America, the country where you have the right to be wrong. Continuing with the analogy of my Uncle who is an alcoholic, I don't agree with the lifestyle of an alcoholic, but as an American you have the right to spend all your money on booze at the bar if you so please. Similarly, whether or not you agree with homosexuality, you should support the rights of homosexuals regardless of whether you approve of it or not. Just because you support the rights of a group of individuals does not mean you support their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it was a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungeoncrawler69 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I think when you view the ratio of gay & lesbians in the world to heterosexual's its clearly something genetic, but isolated. My analogy is people that are color blind. Its an genetic trait, but not because you were born with it, but because you were born without it, or it doesn't function properly. In the example of being colored-blind, its because you are missing a cone cell or it doesn't function correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxBollWeevilxX Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I asked this question to someone at work today. Is it a choice to be gay, or are you born that way? She said it's definitely a choice. So, I asked, "When did you choose to be straight?" She said shut up and walked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish66 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I think everyone has a little bit of Gay in them. Your born with it. Its when you choose to act upon it that will be the be. I know my MoD likes full figured red head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
