I think it's a bit misinformed/fearful but it's not the worst one I've seen on here. You will probably be labelled satan incarnate for it by some people, but anyway. The number one thing to remember about gay people is that they are just people. They aren't weird or unnatural, just a bit different to the 'normal' heterosexuality. (If anyone gives me shit for using the word normal, I might slap you btw) If they like you, it's not the end of the world. Just tell them you don't swing that way, and that should be that. As for not wanting your kid to be gay, it's understandable but ask yourself this - would you really treat your own child badly because of the way they are? It's not a choice, just a biological/genetic/sociological quirk.

    [quote]As for not wanting your kid to be gay, it's understandable but ask yourself this - would you really treat your own child badly because of the way they are? It's not a choice, just a biological/genetic/sociological quirk.[/quote] Right, but the thing is, I believe that normal human behavior is for a male to be attracted to and end up having sex with a female to reproduce, and vise-versa (this is also normal animal behavior.. I am well aware that animals have been seen humping other animals of the same gender, but that is only because when animals learn to hump, they will hump anything when they develop humping skills and that includes buckets, fences and animals of the same sex.. but in the end, they [u]naturally[/u] have sex with animals of the opposite gender to reproduce) and I strongly believe that if society and school [b]does not[/b] flash the words 'gay is totally fine, totally fine to be gay, join this "support gay" club, omg you didn't join the "support gay" club? you're a villain' and teach it to children, then a huge load of children will never be gay and instead do the natural human / animal behavior. The school can change the curriculum all they want, but they will never be able to change the biology courses since real biology only explains what is natural (that is why in biology courses, students learn [b]only[/b] about having sex with the opposite gender and nothing else), and the school can't change what is natural no matter how hard they tried. And my last sentence was a fact, not an opinion (coming from a student who is a year away from having a specialist degree in biology). I'm 100% positive that my kid will never be gay and the only reason he might is if the school he goes to flashes what I said above, everywhere and teaches it to him regularly. I believe that if school just didn't teach about any sex at all, [u]humans will naturally (without needing to be taught)[/u] be attracted to the opposite gender and have sex with the opposite gender to reproduce. Anyone who studied human biology will know that what I said is definitely true. [u]Is me saying that 'being attracted to and having sex with and the opposite gender what is natural', an incorrect statement?[/u]

    Uhh.... Sorry but I'm a bit too tired for this. I'll see if anyone else has answered this in the thread but the shortest answer is- Heterosexual attraction/sexuality/behaviour is normal/common/frequent for self evident reasons. It is natural. Homosexual attraction/sexuality/behaviour is also normal, but not common or frequent again for self evident reasons. It's also natural, because humans don't exist in a vacuum outside of the natural world. Everything we do is a part of nature and is a natural behaviour, Note that's behaviour not creations. Man made things are artificial, but that's another topic alltogether. Basically, Gays are normal. Whilst the biological/evolutionary reasons for them being gay isn't as concretely obvious as heterosexuals it doesn't make it unnatural. Attraction and Sexuality are innate primarily and teaching children about sex isn't going to shape their sexuality anymore than teaching them about biochemistry is going to alter their DNA. I hope this helps, I might revisit this in the morning. Good night.

  • Understood. I guess it just comes down to whether people think that anal'ing / having sex with another human of the same gender is natural or not. That argument will never come to an end and I'm pretty sure I am not qualified and don't know enough about biology / psychology to argue for or against it, so I'll end here.

    Alrighty, that's mostly the gist of it. As long as you treat people well, regardless of their orientation, that's what matters.

  • Well being gay isn't necessarily "normal". Heterosexuality is "normal" Why? Because if everybody was homosexual the human race wouldn't last so long now would it? Im not saying im against homosexuality, do whatever you please. Being gay is kind of a -blam!- up with genetics. [spoiler] Lesbian sex is pretty sexy though [/spoiler]

    There was actually a study done not too recently proposing the reason for homosexual behavior in evolutionary terms, it was to do with having someone able to forage/hunt all year round rather than being waylaid with children. That's the shortest/tiredest summary I can give, but it was a decent read.
