Because society has not grown up enough to understand the difference between attraction, the purpose of the attraction, and the ways that the attraction can be expressed.
Or perhaps there exist more than one type of attraction. I feel no 'gender attraction' to males that would be confused in anyway with a desire to have sex with them. I doubt that such confusion is the least bit true. I also doubt that folks with homosexual attractions are mistaking their feelings for just wanting to play a checkers or football with each other.
My counterargument is that society needs to challenge itself to get deeper than mere biological urges and that there is a unique purpose for such urges
Thanks for sharing. Do you have biological urges towards men that you really want to do some other type of bonding with? I would consider such a thing very unusual.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. Thomas Jefferson
Seems to me if its clear that certain things that require ancient dates couldn't possibly be true, we are on our way to throwing out all those ancient dates on the basis of the actual evidence. -- Faith
