Why are we being Forced to accept Homosexuality?

[Anonymous]

I believe we are being Forced to accept Homosexuality.
I personally am not comfortable with homosexual "behavior" and I find it repulsive.

Now I would never discriminate against a member of the LGBT community, what they do in their bedroom is their business not mine.

But they aren't keeping it in the bedroom, they're having Gay Pride parades, showing them kiss and be intimate on TV, even being intimate in public, teaching children about it in schools etc.

The supreme Court literally Forced every state to accept Gay Marriage, forcing people to comply.
Which went against the tenth amendment.

If we don't accept it, don't support it or show just the smallest bit of negativity or even disgust we are called bigots or homophonic.

[WhiteSteve]

Here's the thing, up until recently, the LGBT community was FORCED into accepting inequal rights and harassment. The only thing you're being "forced" to do is to live and let live. I'm glad you wouldn't discriminate against them, but I can't understand why people can't accept something that doesn't directly affect them. Whether gays disappear altogether or if becomes widely accepted, I can't see how this will change your life. Do I care to see gay guys or two lesbians making out in the street? Not really. But I don't want to see ANYONE make out in the street. But two people holding hands or something, what's he hell should anyone care. One of my best childhood friends, he apparently came out as gay years ago. I haven't seen him since we were in high school, but my mom and his mom still occasionally talk. I found out about five years ago when I was home for the holidays that he and his partner had been assaulted earlier that year. Sounds like they were minding their own business, just out in Boston one night, and I guess they may have been holding hands at one point. All of a sudden a limo pulls up with a bunch of drunk assholes in it, and long story short, at least one of them had brass knuckles, and about five or six guys jumped out and beat the living shit out of both of them, and pretty much broke every bone in both of their faces. They were hospitalized for weeks and needed reconstructive surgery. All because of some naturally occurring attraction that they were born with and have no choice in. People would FLIP if there was a crew of gay meatheads running around beating the shit out of straight couples. Hatred is a bad look on anyone. And if it's done in the name of religion, then shame on whatever religion condones and encourages hatred. That's not what religion is supposed to be about.

Homosexualtiy is disgusting

[elamn123456]

gotta agree with you fam... but i luv lesbians :)

[Omar5881]

@elamn123456 lmao 😂

[Omar5881]

Thanks for MHO 😊

[Anonymous]

I know what you mean but how else are they going to get it accepted if they don't globalise it. The gay parades are all about getting it legalised and encouraging gay people to come out of their shadows.
I don't mind gay people, you love whoever you love.
They've been forced to change who they love because people don't understand them. They've been made to feel like misfits, but now it's all changing. Personally, I think for the better.
Many people think the human population is going to go down, good. There used to be about 1 billion people on this planet in the last few centuries we now have 7 million... The human population decreasing is hardly a problem we need to worry about :)

[Zendrya]

Because that is what you are if you don't like it. We are a group of people who deserve rights. We are no different than heterosexuals. Do you think homosexuals want to see heterosexuals kissing? No I am bisexual and I don't even want to that much. So since we are people we should be allowed to see what we like just as much as heterosexuals get to see what they like. Are you racist too? Because back when racism was just becoming a thing of the past people were just like you when it comes to homosexuality.

[Zendrya]

Nice meeting you too @Strider30

[Zendrya]

oops @Strider90

[Asker]

Heterosexuality is the norm and homosexuality as the abnormality. A man and a woman kissing is normal where as two men kissing is abnormal. Why would I be racist? Race is nothing like sexual orientation, you can't change your race.

[Zendrya]

Nor can you change your sexuality on your own free will... wow, glad we got that sorted out.

[Asker]

You can change your sexual behavior and even your sexuality to some extent.

[Zendrya]

I agree that it changes but not by free will. I think just like every other preference it can change as you mature and change but not by your choice. One doesn't just decide they love spaghetti if they actually hate it and actually love it.

[Asker]

No, you can. I know some who had homosexual tendencies but shut them off completely. He even came to me for advice. He is now married to a woman and has two kids. So no one can tell me it doesn't happen.

[Zendrya]

And none of us know if he is really attracted to her... And lets say he is actually attracted to her then he can easily just be bisexual like me.

[Asker]

Well I know him very well and if he's being honest then to use his words he "used to be gay". But isn't what you call yourself that counts? And not others? If he's attracted to his wife and he no longer has homosexual tendencies then he must be straight.

[Zendrya]

Or bisexual... I like guys and girls but I am with a guy and only a guy. No one can tell I am bisexual unless I tell them

[fauchelevent]

I dunno, I'd say that being disgusted by people being in love just because of their gender is pretty bigoted and homophobic. Don't accept it if you don't want to, but be prepared that people are going to think you're a twat.

[Asker]

I'm not talking about falling in love, I'm talking about a man sodomising another man. So are you saying, anyone that is disgusted by Gay porn is a bigot, homophonic or a twat?

[fauchelevent]

I think that not enjoying gay porn if you're a straight man is natural. However, you disliking homosexuals kissing in public or don't like LGBT+ stuff being taught does make you a bigot, a homophobe and a twat.

[Asker]

Then my feelings are natural...

[fauchelevent]

Sure. But trying to control other people's relationships (e. g. not wanting them to kiss or be romantic in public), or thinking that a perfectly natural and important part in many young childrens' lives shouldn't be explained to them in school isn't natural (in my opinion) :)

[Asker]

"a perfectly natural and important part in many young childrens' lives shouldn't be explained to them in school isn't natural"?

[fauchelevent]

Yeah, sorry, that was written pretty awfully :P I just meant that it isn't natural or right to dictate what children can learn about sex, and if we're offering sex education for heterosexual sex, then we should also offer sex education for homosexual sex :)

[Asker]

Well I wasn't really talking about sex education but I suppose taking precautions won't hurt.

[AustinMan]

You have to accept it because you live in one of the most tolerant and just countries on the planet. Gay is NOT a choice. They do not choose to be gay any more than you choose to be straight. Get over it.

[Asker]

But you can choose how you behave.

[AustinMan]

And you can choose to be tolerant of those different than you so choose tolerance.

[Asker]

You can but I don't see how you can tolerate two men having sex on the bus behind you...

[AustinMan]

ANY two having sex on the bus behind me is inappropriate and I would object, genders aside.

[Asker]

When a lady on the bus objected she was called homophonic, me and my friends remained quiet.

[AustinMan]

Homophonic? LOL!!! I doubt that!!! Homophobic I might believe.

[Asker]

Typo...

[EarthToKepler]

You're only uncomfortable with it because of YOUR SEXUALITY.

When we are in love we think from our hearts, when we think realisitically and logically we think from our brains and when we are 'horny' we think from our balls or women balls.

I have NO problem with gay people. Answer me this.. Do you like lesbians/watching them engage in sexaul sh** if so... You have no problem with gays because it's exactly the same thing.. Just different genders.

I do flinch and say to myself 'EEEEEEEEEEEE' when I see a pop up of gay men but that's like seeing someone elses poo hahah

Think about it... When you are horny.. You think sexually.. Even though you could Love lesbians.. You feel uncomfortable with men because you are a man

Stop worrying where men are putting their wangs, it doesn't comcern you.

Men only hate 'gay people' because their sexualities over take the 'brain brain'

its like white people hating black people.. Its completely stupid and pathetic

[Asker]

If you're asking if I like lesbian porn, the answer is no.

[Cryostatic]

The Constitution does not give you the right to discriminate, and it's not a state's rights issue. Just like anti-discrimination laws regarding women and other minorities aren't states rights issues.

Gay bashing is wrong, and it's always been wrong. Get the fuck over it.

[Asker]

I'm talking about marriage, not bashing...

[kambo_trick3y]

Kiddo, you're not being forced.

Trust me. You would very much KNOW if you were ACTUALLY being FORCED.

[Asker]

What I mean is: Accept Homosexuality and Gay sex or be condemned by society.

[Mesonfielde]

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't happen, which also means there is no reason for it not to be in popular media. I don't see how exactly homosexuality threatens you in any way, which is why yes, people call you "homophobic" as you have no reason to be spiteful against them.

[Random_chick_2384]

I see your point they are shoving in our faces but I don't care really I mean gay or not they are people too. I don't understand why people are making such a big deal out of this but not when people are killing there babies, soldiers are fighting in other countries and dying. Like people need to grow up and worry about things bigger than gay marriage. Besides what are you going to do about it? There going to be gay anyway. Nothing we can do.

[ZombieCommie]

So you're totally cool with people being gay so long as they make sure to not "act" gay for your comfort?

To think that something so common shouldn't be shown on TV and that gay marriage affects you in any way, actually IS bigoted.

[RedThread]

You know what I think is weird? It's a little suspicious how many homophobes tend to think about gay sex more than actually gay people do. I mean when I see two guys kissing I don't mentally jump to what they do in the bedroom because I'm not gay. They kiss so what? A lot of people kiss. As long as they're happy, what business of it is mine? They should be allowed to marry and have the same rights as everyone else.

#EqualLoveEqualRights

[Asker]

Yeah I guess homophobs might do that but I'm not one so... So if a woman and her dog kiss in public and have Sex at home I shouldn't be disgusted but think: "They kiss so what? A lot of people kiss. As long as they're happy, what business of it is mine? They should be allowed to marry and have the same rights as everyone else."

[MaskedSanity]

Asker, you might want to look up the definition of "logical fallacy" as you keep applying those in your laughable arguments. ;)

[RedThread]

What @maskedsanity said

[Asker]

Which would be?

[RedThread]

On the top of my head https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/slippery-slope

You can't compare the love and consent between legal adults to bestiality.

[Asker]

I did not say acceptance of homosexuality will lead to the acceptance of bestiality, therefore it isn't a logical fallacy. I also did not compare love and consent. What I did do was take your reasoning and apply it to something different.

[RedThread]

Sorry but yes you did.. You compared a gay couple kissing to someone kissing or having sex with their dog which isn't relatable. How can you compare the consent and sexual relations between two human adults to someone and a nonhuman animal?

[Asker]

Although I was not comparing love or consent, a woman for example can give consent to an animal to engage in sexual relations. It's possible and has happened.

[RedThread]

Consent goes both ways. Either way bestiality has nothing in common with homosexuality.

[Asker]

Didn't say it does...

[Batbob]

We're not forced to accept anything. Personally as a Christian, I too find it wrong and evil. I dont accept it. The problem is (especially in America), the country's run by left, liberal morons who allow people to live how they want, stuff political correctness down your throat and bash you for speaking out in favor of traditionalism, and want you to change to THEIR ways... And it's absolutely disgusting..

[RedThread]

Whoa letting people live the way they want? Fucking liberals and their anti freedom agenda!

[Batbob]

I didn't mean it like that. I meant, people should have freedom, but liberals tend to promote and encourage choices that aren't so great... yet ironically enough seems to get into peoples business and criticize them when they're doing what they should and dont bother other people.

[PANDAmonium]

This is indirect discrimination. You aren't directly insulting or berating a member of the LGBT community but you are in fact discriminating against them by saying you find their actions/behaviors repulsive. Not to mention the fact that you want them to keep their actions hidden from sight. MF couples are allowed PDAs. Why is it any different with a same sex couple?

[Asker]

So if a straight person finds Gay porn repulsive, that means he's discriminating against gays?

[Strider90]

''But they aren't keeping it in the bedroom, they're having Gay Pride parades, showing them kiss and be intimate on TV, even being intimate in public, teaching children about it in schools etc.'' exactly this is the problem.
I have a good gay friend and the only reason he is my friend is because he doesn't take part in all this crap.

[2014raser]

Because Democrats.

[Mesonfielde]

I see you've grown up in a right-side religion-driven absolutist family. o-o

[Mesonfielde]

Unless I'm mixing them up. I always forget which one is which. But this is still more than mere politics.

[2014raser]

@Mesonfielde Absolutist? I will admit, I had to look that word up. "The principle or the exercise of complete and unrestricted power in government." We aren't absolutists. Big government is always bad.

[WaltLewis]

Finally, someone sees it and now that they have the right to marry they even take it to far just so they can get their way. A pastor was arrested and lost his license to preach because he don't marry homosexuals, couldn't they have gone to another priest instead of having this particular one arrested if it's against the word he lives by you can be upset about it.

[AlternativeBlonde]

the way i see it is that we are not being forced... we have the ability to accept it anl more and more people do. but in my opinion not excepting it is okay, just dont project that to others who do accept it

[Anonymous]

i am not against homosexuality but sick of it being shoved down our throats (pardon the pun). making it legal and accepted was fine but tis shit has gone too far. why do all these things have to always over speed to reverse discrimination, the people who helped bring equality now get discriminated against. a real kick in the face

[Anonymous]

Even though this experiment is decades old, it still proves its point. You saying that you find a group of people disgusting is the equivalent of those who looked down on women and people of color because they were previously treated as inferiors.

If it truly did not matter to you, it wouldn't bother you at all. Kinda long, but try to watch the whole thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onKVeZaDzWg

It sucks to be seen as less of a human being just for who you are. It sucks even more that people like you think they are in the right.

[Asker]

No... I'm talking about homosexuality as an act. The action and not the person. "The sin and not the sinner" if you will.

[Opinion Owner]

Actions define a person, whether it is an action or a lack of one. A gay person has gay sex. You're not going to find too many gay people who don't have gay sex. Your logic seems a bit off.

[Asker]

I find Gay sex disgusting.

[Anonymous]

But that's just it, you ARE a big it and homophobic, why deny it?

[Anonymous]

You are called these things because that is what your doing. Being "forced" to accept homosexuality isn't like water boarding or religious extremism. No one is threatening to murder you if you don't comply. In fact they are doing absolutely nothing to you. If you don't want to watch football change the channel. Don't want to see the parade use a detour. And don't say oh they're making us watch them kiss like they haven't been watching heterosexual couple's kiss for years. What if they find that just as disgusting as you find them to be? You feel like you shouldn't be "forced" to view the activities of homosexuals because you find it disgusting but disgust isn't about the activity it's about you. Some people find cellulose disgusting or fat or farts but they aren't. They're naturally occurring human processes. The emotion of disgust is your internal issue not a property of the object your disgusted by. So when majority of the world can look at homosexuality and be like "meh it's fine not my thing but hey" and your going "eww eww eww get it out of my sight" the world has no choice but to look at you and ask "Why is she disgusted by something so harmless?" And our conclusion ends up being "probably because she's homophobic. (The irrational fear of homosexuals)"

[Asker]

Heterosexuality is the normality and homosexuality is the abnormality. Therefore it's normal for a man and a woman to kiss but abnormal for two men to kiss. As they are the abnormality it's doesn't make sense for them to be disgusted by normality and expect us not be be repulsed by them. Although no one is going to murder you, they can legally reprimand you or charge you with something even be put in jail. You will be shunned and condemned by society. For simply saying you aren't comfortable with the sight of homosexual "behavior" such as Gay sex for instance. I'm late for work because you want to bath in pride? Proud of what? The idea of straight pride is ludicrous, why not gay pride?

[Opinion Owner]

Lol. No this is all wrong. Asexuality is the normality my friend. The fact that their are two sexes at all is the result of an abnormal mutation. Any biologist can tell you that. Your ideas of what is normal or abnormal are based on your cultural preception not truth. Truth is homosexuality exist all throughout the animal kingdom and all throughout the history of humanity. There were even a few Greek cities with monuments praising homosexual couples. So normal is really subjective and not really a solid place to argue from. That middle point is ridiculous. You will never be jailed for not liking gay people your being jailed for discrimination and as a black guy in post slavery America I'm happy it's illegal to treat people like shit because of the few difference you have. Your last point is null. Gay pride parades are not spontaneous. They are planed and announced months to years ahead of time. If you're late for work it's because you didn't take the time to listen and plan accordingly

[Opinion Owner]

Also your last point is more about parades than it is about gay people. In fact it's almost exclusively about parades

[Asker]

Really? I've never seen a human reproduce asexuality but that's besides the point. And yes you can, in one instance a preacher was arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin in Christianity. And what about bakers being prosecuted? Shouldn't you have the right to simply not accept a business transaction?

[Opinion Owner]

Your response tells me you're not a fan of science so arguing from that standpoint seems like a waste so I won't go into further details about all life descending from asexuals. But beyond that have YOU actually READ the details of those court case or listened to the Supreme Court's hearings on gay marriage? Because they're online. The Supreme Court recorded all of the audio and it's available to everyone that wants to listen. How much literature have you actually read about homosexuality. How much do you know about it. To be honest theirs no need for you to answer back because if you had read any of this you'd know how silly you sound right now. Use your brain and stop simply regurgitating the things other people have told you. It's a waste of your mind and life and honestly at this point arguing with you feels like a waste of mine.

[Asker]

I am a "fan of science" and I know what you're referring to. What I meant is that we are now humans. Humans cannot reproduce asexuality. And no, I've done my own research on things but still. If you were to describe a process scientifically, Wouldn't you be "simply regurgitating the things other people have told you"? Like your teachers for instance? Gay literature?

[Opinion Owner]

When I say regurgitating what I mean is taking things in and spitting it back out without truly digesting the material. Aka saying things without truly understanding what you're talking about. I never meant humans reproduced asexually I meant at some point in time our ancestors were asexual and having dual sexes was "abnormal" so calling something abnormal is useless. If you understand evolution you should understand that homosexuality like all other personality quirks and differences aren't normal or abnormal they're just different and that whether or not it's a benefit or not will be determined over time through natural selection. So I'm not sure why your so concerned with all of it.

[Asker]

But none of our ancestors where homosexual, as homosexuals can not reproduce. By normal and abnormal I mean what people do for example: It's normal to sleep on a bed ( where I live ) It's abnormal to sleep on table.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm getting tired with this convo. 1. You can't prove none of your ancestors were homosexuals. Ever met a man who hid his homosexuality in order to not get attacked? I have. Ever met a bisexual man? I have. But that's all beside the point a possible gay gene could simply be hiding on an X chromosome meaning it could pass from mother to mother or it may be due to a compilation of genes meaning your parents could carry all that's necessary for thier child to be gay without it ever manifesting until it came together in thier child. Homosexuality has been in human culture and ape culture for longer than you can imagine. 2. You've already ruined your own point with your little side comment of "where I live". You don't sleep in a bed because it's normal you sleep in a bed because you live in a society that tells you sleeping in a bed is right. What society says doesn't make something normal or abnormal right or wrong it just makes it socially acceptable.

[Opinion Owner]

Lastly I'm done with this conversation. You are not someone looking for understanding your looking for validation of your own opinions. With time you'll change your mind or continue to be ostracized for your ideals just like racists. It doesn't make sense to be offended by gays there's nothing damaging about them. So if your disgusted/afraid of them the only option we have is to call you homophobic because it's an irrational fear.

[Anonymous]

because it's a fad and you are not part of the cool crowd if you dont just go crazy and get unrealistically excited about it even if its wrong

media integrated that stuff in movies and crap like that to normalize it over the years and brainwash people into thinking its normal, ok and right

most people just love to parrot w/e they hear

[Mesonfielde]

yeah, like "my parents told me that homosexuality is a sin so it's bad" is something people love to parrot because they get to see other people as inferior to themselves

[Opinion Owner]

no not that i dont see them as inferior, the act itself is not right and a lot of them are acting like crazed sex addicts

[Anonymous]

I duno if you're being forced, it's just these days we all know it's wrong to discriminate against somebody based on their sexuality, you don't have to like it or support it.
