Blonde, I think you're on to something. 

Rock, what does it matter to you really?  I mean do homosexuals *really* bother you so much that you are going to tell them how THEY feel?  That's like a liberal telling a conservative that all conservatives are just 'mislead children' that not only is being a conservative 'wrong ethically' but that you also choose that KNOWING its wrong.

I mean, if you woke up tomorrow and you were a woman, or the genetic system was switched to the fact that only same sex relations could cause procreation, would you switch your preference based merely on that?  Im betting not.  People have internal attraction cues, and some, be it born or nurtured into them from birth, some are solely attracted to the same sex.  Its not always about sex either.  I know a few gay men who dont even LIKE homosexual sex but date men exclusively simply because they are effeminate naturally to a degree that dating women is next to impossible and an emotional need, NOT sexual, goes unfufilled in a heterosexual relationship whereas men seem to provide that emotional need that person requires that he wasnt finding with women.

Ive said it before, if you dont like homosexuals, thats fine, but quit trying to throw blanket statements on it to make it look more acceptable to be intolerant and make your view point more agreeable, which might I add is ALSO unsubstantiated by science since there is no proof there ISNT a gay gene.

Im sorry, I usually am much more tactful and nice in my posts but I can sense the utter distaste you have for homosexuals even across the internet and it makes me wonder how YOU would feel if people berated you so for your beliefs.  People have a right to live their life, regardless whether or not someone disagrees with how they choose to so long as the only person affected are those who choose to be involved.  And last I checked, there wasn't many gay men trolling across the country raping other men.

Do you see how easy it is to ascribe things to another?

Why it was easy to accuse me of going to a place where the "Chippendales" perform?  Seriously....I'd have a good laugh at it...but take it for anything other than frivolity?  Sheesh...laughing.

As you and I know well know....it's beyond us to be a "fundie"....or not.

I just have a really difficult time vilifying someone (anyone).   My gay friend was a gentleman of the world.  As such, I would never do something so crass as to demonize him.  My take on it was...he just wasn't normal....and he did the best he could in this life. 

I can't, in all good conciousness, deny that some people are different.  As long as there's no harm done (to children, etc.) I can't demonize it.  Does that make sense?

It's a choice I'd never make for myself.  Sometimes we just need to live and let live.  As long as it's not thrown in our faces as a choice we'd have to make.

I miss my friend.  He'd be the biggest advocate here for sensiblity...if he were still here.  He hated what he'd been handed in this life.  He just wanted to be somewhat "normal". 

Which is why I am trying, (apparently not to successfully) to make people here accept that it is what it is...it's not a VRWC as Hillary says.  It just is.
