Discrimination against homosexuals carried into the 21st century

I don't know what this cat food is all about. Please don't confuse me with more humorous posters here. I have. Let me tell you something, the last time the issue of gay rights came up at our town meeting, somebody (an senior citizen I might add) stood up and proclaimed that homosexuality causes more teenage pregnancy. The point is I have been largely ignored because people with more experience, like yourself, can make more sensational claims about the issue than I can. It's not enough. We have learned from past experience that seperate never means equal. As a matter of fact, I do listen to them more. Seniors were the people that made me go around telling gay people they were going to hell. Seniors were the people that made me condemn gay people at every debate. Seniors were the people that made me the son of a bitch that I was.I've learned to glean what I can from seniors AFTER I've filtered out all the BS you guys never learned to get rid of. I got most of what I know about car repair from my father but I virtually ignore all his bigotted views on gay, black, hispanic, etc. people.

NosyNed, how is this different than total warfare?Say I have been enjoying the gym that I have been going to and other people who regularly go to this place also have been enjoying going to the place. Lately, a group of people from next town over want to sign up for membership of this gym so they could also enjoy all the good stuff in there. But we are an elitist bunch. We want this gym to be reserved strictly for in-town folks. The people in the other town argue that they should have just as much right to use the facilities and machines in that gym as we do.What you are suggesting is instead of sharing our wonderful place of workout, we torch the place and burn it to the ground and say working out is a personal thing and we all should go out and buy weight sets and workout at home.I know you have good intentions, but I see this argument as degrading to the members of our society that have been taking a lot of shit from the rest.

I thought we had this cleared out in the other thread, but I guess you are one to forget easily.In this post of this thread, I showed evidence that an experimental procedure involving changing the hormonal balance within a subject's brain could change the subject's sexuality. This, to me at least, implicates that one's sexuality is more than a regular everyday choice that we make.But if you disagree with my take on this, perhaps you'd like to comment on what kind of implication such an experimental procedure tell us?Edited by Tazmanian Devil, : added in hoot's quote
