Quote:What you are doing is lumping in gays and trans people with all manner of sexual deviations (i.e.- pedophilia, incest, rape) and they are NOT related. Bringing in these unrelated and truly offensive comparisons shows your lack of ability to face the questions on the how and the why head on.


My position is they do not have a choice in the matter. They are biologically born that way. WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE ACCEPTED AS LEGITIMATE WITH RESPECT TO THEIR SELF IDENTITY? (for real. Why not? Can your moral barometer allow you to answer this one without meltdown?)


Your position is.. that may be true, but in order for me to accept that they are born that way and NOT worthy of discrimination, I would need to also accept all manner of pedophiles, rapists, etc. It's a manure argument.


They are UNRELATED.


Keep in mind, EVERY other species on the planet displays similar behavior. Why do you hold gay frogs and ducks to a different standard?

We may not consciously choose certain intrinsic sincere impulses but that doesn't mean that they should all be expressed and or celebrated.


In your personal analysis you see same sex attraction as wholly separate from ANY OTHER form of sexual attraction that deviates from the heterosexual norm. That's fine. You are entitled to your oppinionon the matter.


At the same time you can't use the argument "they don't have a choice who they are attracted to" to justify one deviation while wholly excluding someone that "doesn't have a choice" in their attraction to per pubescent boys or girls.


Neither has a "choice" both would report the same intrinsic and sincere desire from birth.


But both do have a CHOICE in acting on their desires. We have no problem as a society condemning the peophile to a lifetime of bad sex. Why the double standard?
