Possible explanations for homosexuality explained.

Again, all you seem to be able to resort to is mocking and personal attacks. It's quite pathetic really.

Not as pathetic as making excuses to deny people equality in a so called "free society." That is pathetic as are people who continue to fight homosexuality as if it were a disease or some kind of flaw.

• Reasoning with you hasn't worked.
• Appealing to your sense of fairness and social justice hasn't worked.
• Appealing to the sanctity of romantic love hasn't worked.
• Providing empirical evidence that you are wrong hasn't worked.
• Pointing out the contradictions and absurdities inherent in your "reproduction-only" mentality hasn't worked.
• Pointing out the illegality - and inevitable legal conclusion - of discrimination based on gender relationships hasn't worked.

My guess is that derision and mockery aren't going to work either, but they're way more fun and less time consuming.

Which it is as i explained in the OP

Which would lead a lot of other behaviours and so to be considered flaws that are not that. Homosexuality is not a flaw, it is a variation. There is nothing bad about that.

Totally agree. No offense to Wampus, but I've often thought the most effective adaptation for the survival of our species would be if men fell into a non-responsive comatose state for 364 days out of every year. We (women) could stack them in a kind of vast man-pantry, haul them out on their "awake" day for breeding purposes, then roll them back into storage when we've impregnated ourselves. I live in hope the cryogenicists will one day discover a way to make my dream a reality.

Must be the macaque in me.

The NFL would look a lot different.

 

[Autodidact]

Agreed, and I'm sure if a study was conducted (If it has not already been done) we would find that lesbians greatly outnumber male homosexuals, as most of the good looking males have coupled up leaving only us dags to pass on our genes and continue to travel on to the ends of time.

Hate to kill the joke, but there are about twice as many gay men as lesbians.

If it were a variation, it would be self-sustained. Homosexuality cannot sustain itself. It reduces success rate of mate selection and propagation of itself and is not even inheritable. Therefore cannot be considered a simple "Variety."

Ethnicity is variety. Homosexuality is a flaw.

What???? OBVIOUSLY it sustains itself. The existence of gay people (not to mention gay macaques, gay penguins, gay dolphins, and nearly every other mammal ever studied) is absolute, incontrovertible proof of that. To argue otherwise is simply insane.

No it does not. Homosexuality does not sustain itself because it does not propagate itself. It is not inheritable and declines the success of mate selection.

No, homosexuality is natural; bigotry is a flaw.

 

[challupa]

Madhatter, why does homosexuality threaten you so? Why is this such a huge issue for you?

 

[ragordon168]

can someone explain to me why the hell this is even being discussed?

'reasons for homosexuality'!? why does it need a reason? you are just as likely to be gay as you are straight.

you want a reason for homosexuality? well i want a reason for religious beliefs and the idea that a god exists. can you provide that without using the reason that it 'just is' and faith is needed. this answer says there is no reason it just happens, which is the exact same as homosexuality

He has some weird idea that if I can marry, it will somehow impact on his freedom of religion. In support of this bizarre notion he posted an LDS article that, frankly, made no sense.

And this senseless article differs from other LDS defenses . . . how?

 

[madhatter85]

Statistically you only have a 3% chance of having homosexual urges.

And this is something else I don't understand. How the hell can your marriage impact his freedom of religion??? I don't get it. It makes absolutely no logical sense to me!!

He seems to be misinformed. Either that or he thinks his religion requires him to limit my freedom and equality, so when I demand freedom and equality, it limits his freedom of religion!

That's a rather circular argument. I will never ever understand religions that want to limit the possibilities of humanity in all it's diversity. It's soooo small minded imo.

Another possible explaination for homosexuality could be that nature wishes to illiminate certain genetic traits from within the human species, and those who are born with the suspect gene, are giving a desire to lust after the flesh of their own gender and are repulsed by the thought of copulating with those of the opposite sex, thereby diminishing the propagation of the condemned genetic strain.
