Sorry, never mind. I really disagree with the "Stop Homophobia" theory.
Homosexuality is a chromosome and hormone disorder, which pretty much makes it an illness.
So I think "protesting" against A.I.D.S. yet supporting homosexuality at the same time, is not a little, but very hypocritical.
Have a good day!

Homosexuality is "theoretically" a chromosome/hormone disorder. It can't be proven without actually inducing a pregnancy with a genetically altered embryo. Since that is very illegal in nearly every country capable of performing such a study, it's unlikely we'll ever actually validate the theory. But, here's some meat and potatoes to chew on.

If homosexuality is determined by chemical code, then why the hell on Earth do we have "free will"? I mean, seriously, you can't believe that load of bs without completely disregarding God, creation, and everything that interestingly enough, most homosexuals actually believe in.

I'm sorry I just don't buy it. You can't have both. I hold no grudge against the people who choose that path, but honestly, you've got to make up your mind. Oh and that whole new "she" god thing that's going around, yeah that's pretty silly too.

First of all, I really appreciate your well composed response!

This "free will" you speak of is something we can only take advantage of, once we know what our choices are.

When we are only a cell, we can't really decide what sexual orientation we want. Nor do we get the chance to choose between healthy and mentally challenged.

I do not believe in "God, creation, and everything that interestingly enough, most people actually believe in."
I'm open about my religion, but unfortunately, the majority of people react negatively when they hear it the first time.
Basically I mix my own beliefs and philosophies with some theories from Anton Szandor LaVey.
One day, hopefully, I can open a church and make my religion official. Not because I want to force it onto others.

I still believe homosexuality is a disorder / illness, and it could be healed, but obviously no homosexual would volunteer,
and I understand that.

Again, thanks for your nice response!

Let me ask you this, can a person choose not to have cancer, and be cured? I submit that there are certain metaphysical properties and laws of physics that we have not yet discerned and do not understand, but a disease is by nature something that causes dis-ease. A dis-ease, curable or not, is something that causes you to suffer in some form.

A man or woman who has traits of the opposite sex may have had a strong influence from that opposite sex throughout their life. A single mother's son may exhibit many more feminine qualities than if he had been raised by a single father. But when it comes down to it, choosing to be homosexual is still completely different.

Being a cell and starting the process of mitosis has nothing to do with your life's path. You aren't born with the "code" programmed into your mind to be attracted to men or women. It's something you decide to do, even before you understand the system, structure, or reasoning behind it.

I admit, your environment, genetic prerequisites, and even parental guidance can influence your decision, but ultimately, it's up to you. This is why I believe that homosexuality is not a disease. It doesn't cause someone dis-ease if they're ok or happy with it. It's not a disorder because many homosexuals are happy with their lives.

I'm not condoning homosexuality. However, giving them a prerequisite argument will not support the fact that homosexuality goes against nature, against society, against most religions, and against the basic fundamentals of our existence.

I have no hate against anyone. Don't misunderstand, just know that I still believe that it is wrong. On the same note, I have met many homosexuals who are good people. They aren't evil, and most have good and respectable values. That being said, is till believe it's wrong.

Cancer, AIDS, Polio, these are diseases. Once you have them, you cannot get rid of them with a simple mental state, or decision. However, you can with homosexuality.

When it comes down to it, it's simply a choice.

I do, and don't agree with you at the same time.
I do agree with the example where you mentioned the single mother,
but then, that's more of a "brainwash" effect,
than a hormone or chromosome disorder.

Also, I think, that it's just nature's way of selecting stronger,
and more potent individuals to survive;
If you tend to be homosexual, then be homosexual,
and never breed, to avoid the spread of weak/less potent individuals.

I believe nature is a far stronger system than any human could ever come up with,
so I'm pretty sure, that those, who live an unbalanced life,
will be destroyed in one way or another,
disregarding the fact, that they might not be responsible for it.

And another thought on "free will":
If you stop and really think about it, that thing does not even exist.
What "free will" would mean to me, is the ability to make up our own list of choices,
and the right choose from those choices. But it's our environment that "sculpts" us,
and it's society that gives us the number of choices: in clothing, in cars, in food, in everything.
I'm not sure whether this will make any sense, but we only have "artificial opinions",
that were formed by the way society behaved towards us, or taught us throughout our lives.

So nothing we think is really "by us" - It's the thought of a person we had to create,
so we could "wear" him/her on the outside of what we really are.
And this is what causes all teenagers to feel depressed;
When they start to realize, that they don't know themselves.

What do you think?
