Most arguments for or against homosexual rights hinge on whwther or not homosexual9ity is viewed a form of pathology.
------------------------
The term gay was originally derived from gay lotherio, who was a seducer of young women. Fopish prancing gays adopted it and applied it as being applied to being a clever seducer of young men. The term has been shortened and has stuck.
I thought the Clinton administration delisted faggism as a mental illness, or was involved in this at the federal level somehow.
----------------------
It was done in the '70s. Mental disorders are recognized and classified in The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders which is rewritten, revised, and republished periodically. I have a copy of the second edition DSMII which I keep for historical reasons, in front of me. Homosexuality is listed as 302.0 in sexual deviations. In the '70s it was stricked as a disorder over enormous protest within the profession.
The extent to which homosexuality is innate is not a matter of logic. It is a matter of science. |
"Gay Rights" Strategies Involve Conscious Deception And Wholesale Manipulation of Public Opinion
What Is "A Homosexual" Kinsey reported that those who engaged in homosexuality were exceptionally sexually flexible, intensely sexualized, and highly venturesome. Kinsey's published data reveal that homosexuals are much more willing to "try it" with an animal, a child, a man, many women, or for that matter "something completely different."
whoever wrote this 'article' is a bigoted asshole who is trying to use 'big' words to cover up his obvious hatred of gay people. he needs to get a life.....and a brain wouldn't hurt either. |
That sounds less gay than heterodox. What percentate of self indentified gays have sex with animals or pre-pubescent children?

What does this sound like?
Medical Consequences of What Homosexuals Do FECAL SEX About 80% of gays (see Table) admit to licking and/or inserting their tongues into the anus of partners and thus ingesting medically significant amounts of feces. Those who eat or wallow in it are probably at even greater risk. In the diary study,5 70% of the gays had engaged in this activity--half regularly over 6 months. Result? --the "annual incidence of hepatitis A in...homosexual men was 22 percent, whereas no heterosexual men acquired hepatitis A." In 1992,26 it was noted that the proportion of London gays engaging in oral/anal sex had not declined since 1984.
In proportion to their numbers (about 1 out of 36 men), homosexual males are more likely to engage in sex with minors: in fact, they appear to be three times more likely than straight men to engage in adult-child sexual relations Freund, K. and R. I. Watson, The Proportions of Heterosexual and Homo sexual Pedophiles Among Sex Offenders Against Children: An Exploratory Study, Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 18 (Spring 1992): 3443.
As far as animals go I am not aware of any science that shows those statistics other than the correlations between associated paraphilic disorders. These interrelated mental disorders are characterized by sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors involving transvestitism, S and M, bestiality and of course pedophilia. Homosexuality is still a paraphilia regardless of the political non-scientific view of the APA.
Did you bump your head before you wrote this? Exactly how can there be bigotry for a behavior Forest? If that were true then Im a soccer bigot. And if big words are such a challenge for you then perhaps you should confront those demons and try some word therapy.
As far as hate goes, can you point out where the author makes this clear? A simple reading of the article gives details for DEFEATING THE ARGUMENT that perversion is sane behavior and not some avarice for any particular individual. Its about hating the behavior, not the person. GET IT?
If gayness were "science" then it would have evolved the same way other traits have evolved. Gay's should have physical genital characterists different than heteros -- accomodating the brain and behavioral differences. No amount of wanting anal sex to be equal transforms the anus into a sex organ. It is NOT science.
