Homosexuality

[painted wolf]

Let's just institute a police for "promotion of virtue and prevention of vice"... then we can be safe from people who don't believe exactly like they do!

Theocracy is antithetical to freedom and prosperity.

Unless I get to throw you in jail for breaking my religions tenants as well?
Then we are all criminals!

wa:do

 

[Apollonius]

See I could agree to that if it was the same for everybody. I don't make open sexual displays myself, I think it inappropriate. I am a Buddhist, and in Buddhist idea of society, it's inappropriate to bring sex into public.

All religions should adopt this Buddhistic directive as well.

 

[painted wolf]

Public beatings for all people in love! That will teach them to be affectionate!

wa:do

 

[blackout]

Well should heterosexuals also have to keep their sexuality private then? No kissing or holding hands in public?

Naturally.

...and no legal marraiges,
no wedding rings,
no talk of spouses or partnerships.
All secret and hushed tones
trying to descretely figure out
who is who and who is what.
You know, don't ask, don't tell.

Everyone should keep their sexuality
to themselves.

After all, it's no one's business.

1984 minus the sex police.

That would cause a paradox seeing that sadists would love seeing such a display.

Although, when I hear someone say homosexuality should be illegal, it concerns me. How do you suggest this law of homosexuality be enforced, and what determines if the law has been broken?

 

[blackout]

maybe secret hand signs and signals.

It's simple really. All sexual matters are to be kept private, and as such anyone attempting to publicly promote homosexuality would come into conflict with the law. Of course homosexuals will continue to practice their vice, only they will be forced to keep their lifestyles a secret from the greater society.

 

[Comicaze247]

Because it is abhorrent for people of conscinece to have to view sexual perversion.

What is considered "perverted" is all subjunctive, based on nothing but opinion, not fact. Therefore, it is illogical and unethical to base any laws on it. Who are you to tell other people what's right and what's wrong?

As long as marriage is a legal recognition of a sexual partnership, no self respecting Christian can approve of it because it would legitimize sin. I wouldn't give anyone a license to steal either.

How would it "legitimize sin"?

What does stealing have to do with being something?

Whatever innapropriate reactions homosexuals have to straight couples can't determine that appropriate actions by straights are innappropriate.

I don't know of any homosexual couple who have had "inappropriate" reactions to straight couples. And who are you to determine what is "appropriate" and "inappropriate"?

please don't tell me that your religion is one that's supposed to foster love in the world...

because I REALLY HATE you right now.
I hate you... and your unloving words and behavior.

(even more than you hate me I'm sure)

And you make it SO easy.

Restricting the natural acts of men creates a sexually repressed and desperate society. Look at the current scandal surrounding the Catholic Church; men were forced into celibacy and resorted to molesting innocent children.
Your "simple" solution would result in an even more deviant society than you already think we have.

Everyone gets a human sized hamster ball!

That way no one can touch in public! None of that icky affection.
Only those with special identifying marks will be allowed to touch other people, all others will be punished!

[blackout]

I spit on you and your kind.

Go retreat to your hateful corner,
and keep to yourselves.

We're all much better off without you.

Do you believe the same thing applies to hetrosexuals?

I'll be doubly sure to stay clear of you while you're spitting your love all over the place .. never know, you may have hepatitis.

 

[blackout]

Why are you all so NICE and curtious to people
who would have others SUFFER loss of love and liberty and happiness.

monsters who would have others live in pain of secrecy...
and STUFF THEM IN CLOSETS.

Why are you all so curteous to such low lifes?

I don't entirely agree with you here. Publically promoting homosexuality? What about publically promoting heterosexuality? Does this stem to TV shows and books as well? No writing books or making TV shows about gay people? As for being forced to keep our "lifestyles" a secret, do you mean we shouldn't even be allowed to say we're gay? Like if someone asks us if we like so and so woman, we're supposed to lie?

YOU claim the religion of love,
not me.

your VENOM is MUCH worse than anything I've ever had.
(which would be nothing )

though I'm sure you WISH I were dead of something horrible,
just as you think I deserve.
(just for being me)

The nature of the blade is to cut, however, this should not be taken to justify the slitting of someones throat.

Moral ? One must ask, by whose standards?

Did... did you just equate cutting someones throat with anal sex?

 

[McBell]

Ya'll are still feeding the troll?

Must be a really slow day on RF...
