Lesbians More Prone to Partner Violence Than Homosexual Men

That article is full of sociological babble. It certainly didn’t answer the question of why they batter each other so much.

It all stems from the modern propensity (pathology, really) of having to blame someone/something for every action taken, ignoring completely the moral reality of evil. They can't answer because they will be be driven into the unavoidable wall of admitting that there is an "uncaused" action committed by humans, and that this is the root of volition, which can be allowed control by evil. "Science" will never admit to this reality.

Some gays are disgusted by the parades, drama queens, and public sexuality.

That was my brother until 4 years ago. He met the "love of his life" (AGAIN) and now they want to marry and my brother worked on some Rainbow committee in NYC. Haven't heard from him in 3 years.

Dude, there are some people in the word who clearly were born gay.

No. They are not. It is a behavior. And it is rooted in having issues with one or both parents. They like to fool themselves and everybody else that they "can't help it" but they can. They CAN get help. It is a mental illness.

The more likely scenario is that there is an inborn predisposition to heterosexuality that, for various reasons, genetic, biological, psychological, and cultural may be weakened or suppressed. Those with the greatest propensity for change in orientation back toward heterosexuality, therefore, are those who are least determined toward it.

Mental illness usually isn’t biological. When it is, there’s medication for the brains chemical imbalance. There is no “gay gene”. And no scientist is trying to push that anymore. 20 years later NOTHING points to such a gene.

It seems you're responding to the exact opposite of what I wrote.

You want to excuse behavior by making it a physical problem. It's a mental illness. They are NOT "born that way". I watched my brother change and saw the reasons intimately. When his friends were being honest, every single one of them had bad or no relationship with one or both parents.

[samtheman]

I think you’re right, fwdude. You hit the nail on the head.

[ConservativeDude]

I also have a question. I know two women, each recently divorced, one with multiple divorces, who moved in together. Does anyone know two women (with children) who live together who aren’t lesbian?

I don’t. But maybe my experience is limited.

Again, you are replying to the exact opposite of what I wrote. Try actually reading what was written. I think you're reading reactively, that is, you scan text, see a few words that elicit a response and then respond to that response instead of to what was actually written. It's quite a common phenomenon here at FR.

Here’s the deal about being “born” homosexual.

There are countless numbers of former homosexuals.

No one has ever been able to discover any genetic component to homosexuality.

A very large (over 70 to 80% roughly) percentage of homosexuals were molested/seduced when children or young teenagers by older homosexuals, often with drugs or alcohol involved. Sometimes by their own relatives.

And just for the sake of argument, if someone was “born” with the proclivity for same sex attraction, what about liars? Some kids just seem to lie early on, does this mean they should not be taught to be honest and tell the truth? Or that it is okay to lie since they did it since they were children? And isn’t it likely that they became liars because of conditioning or bad example, rather than naturally lying with a baby lisp because they were born that way?

Homosexuality is a mental illness, character fault and it is immoral and unhealthy in the extreme. There are many secular and faith based organizations that help people who want to change, get out of the “gay” life.

Unfortunately, the “gay” agenda pushers shove the information about these organizations and the fact that help is available into the darkness, calling such help “hate”. How crazy is that?

[little jeremiah]

Except that it should read “the other 98.5%”.

[little jeremiah]

All humans who are born with normal reproductive organs are heterosexual. It’s not just a “predisposition”.

[little jeremiah]

Their self-loathing will not wane, even if society “accepts” them, which is being forced upon us currently.

Their self-loathing is their consciences. That voice will never be silenced.

Trade school, not college!

[cherry]

so the main source of "lesbians are worse than gay men" is a gay mens group?.......LOL

While I think homosexual women and men are much more violent than heteros , I personally think gay men are more violent towards each other.. than lesbian women....JMO of course.....

[poobear]

Maybe it’s all their pent up frustrations with “lifestyle” decisions.

[fwdude]

Females are by far the more vicious of the species...

I'd much rather have an office environment with all men than with all women. I don't know what it is, but women seem to need to be tempered with a man's qualities and strengths; all-woman offices usually seem to be rife with back stabbing, cat fights, nursed grudges, and magnified imagined slights.

This carries over into politics. It would be an unimaginable horror to have an all-woman political body (legislature, city council, etc.) but all-men bodies have and do usually work fine.

Yes, men and women are fundamentally different, and I make no apology for this statement.

[reagan_fanatic]

I imagine that's what a Rosie O'Donnell fight would look like...

[Albion Wilde]

Let's rise above stereotyping and bigotry with this thread, shall we? There could be chemical/environmental factors which promote violence among lesbians.

Perhaps liberals on this thread need to rise above their snooty rationalizations in defense of the indefensible.
