This topic of gays and the rights they desire is getting a bit tedious. I’ve settled this issue long ago, in my mind, and in yours.
Ok, just kidding on that last part; but I have pretty well settled it in my own mind, and you want to know what that is, or you would have left by now.
Gay: Nature or Nurture? Nobody wants to seem to answer this question – especially gay proponents, here’s why: if homosexuality is caused by a rogue gene, then that would be looked upon as a deficiency, something to be fixed, and of course, that doesn’t fit into their “can’t change / can’t help it” mantra. If it’s by nurture, that is, life experience, once again, that could be remedied on the psychiatrist’s couch. Ouch on both. Some yahoos on my side of the aisle will say it’s a conscious choice, which I don’t think is right. However, most people fail to realize that much of what goes on in the human mind is done in the subconscious, and therefore, my belief is that largely, homosexuality is a choice, but a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_Nixon, uncontrollable one.
Gay Marriage: No. Ok? I am fascinated that I seem to be the only one to realize this red herring gay marriage proponents have been pimping for years. This sappy “We just want the rights others have” trick. You see, they are trying to convince you that mean, nasty people are trying to keep them from marrying people they love. Those wascally Wepublicans! Then they trot out some couple that can’t get health insurance (for free), or they can’t visit in the hospital – some emotional shock bomb (because we know that liberal’s brains are emotionally dominated, so that should persuade you to see it their way. Never mind logic).
Let’s revisit some facts here, and not be taken into the quicksand of emotional decisions. First and foremost, gays can now, and have always been able to, marry. WHAT? Another wascally Wepublican trying to hoodwink you? No. It’s a fact. Ask Elton John, Anne Heche or Cynthia Nixon, homosexuals, bisexuals or more likely, confused straights, about that. They are (or were) gay, and yet married. No rights denied. Personally, I know two men that if they aren’t gay, have me fooled, and are married to a woman. So, what right is exactly being denied? My opponents will argue that “they can’t marry the one they love”, meaning, someone of the same sex, and in most states, they would be right. HOWEVER, they still enjoy the same right I have – to marry a person of the opposite sex. How is that deniable? They scream they can’t marry, but clearly they can, just like I can.
Therefore, they want a special right, a right that changes the fundamental make up of the family and society, and I say no.
After knocking down that straw man, they come up with the civil rights argument, aligning the right to marry with inter-racial marriage. Again, they fall flat. Inter-racial marriage was wrong to deny, but unlike gay marriage, the same dynamic of opposite-sex people were in place – a man was still marrying a woman.
Why do gays really want to marry? It’s not because of hospital visits, inheriting property or any other marital legal bestowments – that could be done with a legal partnership, which they always shoot down, saying it makes them second class citizens.
It’s about acceptance.
More than anything, gays want to be accepted in society. It’s a very bad feeling to feel as if you are the odd man out in society. The principle of homosexuality is a relationship, and one that isn’t generally acceptable in society. Conferring a legal marriage status upon that relationship forces others to at least try to accept their relationship, if not condone outright. It reminds me of earlier eras when rich men would try to buy high officer positions in their army or navy, so as to gain more societal respect. This is why you also see gays trying to commandeer other respected and revered positions in society, such as boy scout leaders, clergy, and so on, to show, they are just like us.
But, in reality they aren’t – at least sexually. Homosexuality doesn’t make sense, biologically; they should have died out millennia ago. It can’t be normal, because the basic function of sex is reproduction – pleasure is a side effect of that activity. Our genitals are meant for really only two things, sex and urine discharge. In short, gay sex just doesn’t make biological or emotional sense.
So what’s the take away here? What’s my, and I think many, or people’s take on homosexuality?
I sincerely believe that homosexuality is not a conscious choice, and I don’t think it’s really treatable – with some exceptions. I don’t want to beat you up, deny you a job, or a place to live. I don’t care if you like a man in your bed and not a woman, but for me, boobs are just too much fun. I don’t deny you love someone of the same sex. I don’t deny you are discriminated against , made fun of, or even beaten up. I’ve been fat all my life – I can identify. I get you want to be accepted. But you have to realize that what your status is very much a small minority, and that we really need a foundation to rest our world upon – the basic family unit, of a mom, dad and kids. It’s that way in nature, it’s always been that way, why should we change it? So a some people feel better about themselves? I’m sorry, that’s not a good enough reason.
