No, I didn’t. Stop putting words in my mouth.
You do realize Freud and his writings are valued for their historic importance and no one has used his models of development and mental health for decades
I never said anyone was using his “models of development and mental health.” I was pointing out that his views on the centrality of sexuality in the human psyche and the necessity of sexual fulfillment for happiness have influenced much of modern thought on the subject.
are you seriously asking that?
Yes, I am. Do you have an answer?
If you were saying the same things about black people as you are about LGBT people is would be called hate and rightly so.
I still haven’t said anything negative about LGBT people. I’ve been stringently careful to refer only to acts. People are more than their actions. These arguments aren’t applicable. Being Black isn’t an action. Participating in homosexual acts is. Equivocating between them diminishes Black experiences and exploits Black history for another purpose.
Your words are hateful, I'm sorry you don't like that but its the truth. If you don't want people to think of you as hateful then you might do well to examine the things you are posting
I really don’t care if you think of me as hateful. To me, by referring to them as hateful bigots, you seem pretty hateful toward Catholics, Muslims, most African and Asian cultures, and just the general majority of people on earth who do not view homosexual acts as morally acceptable. But that’s not an argument against your position, and your accusations of hate are not an argument against my position—just a name.
So, please avoid non-answers and schoolyard insults, and simply tell me: what is it that, in your mind, makes a sexual act moral or not?
Also, I’m curious what you think of people like Rosaria Butterfield, a former lesbian who since married a man, had children, and became Christian. She says she’s far happier now. Read up on her and other similar stories, if you’d like. To be clear, I’m certainly not advocating “conversion therapy,” which seems largely ineffective and even possibly harmful. (I’m pretty sure she was never involved in such “therapy.”) But people can and do change, and their stories deserve to be heard.
