The recent Supreme Court ruling striking down a Texas anti-sodomy law brings into question what factors were considered when the law was originally passed. A homosexual person is one who is sexually attracted to others of the same sex. Except for a genetic variation of nature, they are virtually identical to their heterosexual counter parts. They feel the very same kind of attraction to the same sex as heterosexuals feel about the opposite sex. Now, granted, there are those people who freely choose this behavior as a form of "life style" but that accounts for a very small population of homosexuals. In fact, if one is not genetically predispositioned for this behavior then by definition they are not truly homosexual but rather some deviant variation of perverted behavior. Some would argue that the Bible condemns homosexuality but I believe (through the persistence of science) this behavior will be proven to result from natural genetic variation. One can draw on the example of retarded people who by no action of their own are born comparatively slow or deficient in mental, physical, or emotional growth. Homosexual people are therefore entitled to engage in sexual behavior consistent with their genetic makeup so long as it is between consenting adults. To deny them this right would be the same as denying heterosexuals their right to consensual sex. Some would argue that sexuality is strictly for the purpose of reproduction but yet the animal kingdom has many variations of species who also cannot reproduce. Human beings are sexual beings as was intended by their creator and to suggest that a genetic variation of nature somehow makes homosexuals less human is indeed an inhuman concept.

You say "Now, granted, there are those people who freely choose this behavior as a form of "life style" but that accounts for a very small population of homosexuals. In fact, if one is not genetically predispositioned for this behavior then by definition they are not truly homosexual but rather some deviant variation of perverted behavior. "

You contradict yourself. You claim that people are genetically predisposed to attraction toward the same sex, but then you seem to also want them to keep this attraction hidden, so as not to "offend" people like you who need someone to blame for thier own insecurities. Seems I have heard this kind of "compassionate conservatism" before.

Let me guess: you are not gay. If you were, you would not group all gay, lesbian, bi, or transexual people into one convenient category so that you can think of them as "they," or the "enemy." Stop hiding behind your hypocritical values. I willl never go back into the closet for you or any man. Deal with it.

You fags want rights?

I'll give you your rights!

10% off vaseline!

Now get back in the fucking closet!!

I don't think you should call them fags or otherwise insult them.

Gays apparently can't help the way they feel. Their sexual orientation was confused at birth. Their wires got crossed. I think it's just a birth defect. The person with a birth defect should not be blamed or insulted for that. They need our help and not our criticism.

BA

If only there were closets for idiots.

imc users should demand and implement freedom AND dignity.

women and non-heteros and all marginalized and oppressed people should not be forced to endure the sewer stench of LA-IMC dialogues.

we should look into the real possibilities and proposals for non-hierarchical solutions to troll problems that do not involve censorship.
