"Instead of recognizing this type of behavior as a problem and trying to help the individual get their head on straight as we used to, we play along with their insanity, and encourage them in their delusion. And in capitulating to insanity and throwing out reality, we not only do the individual a disservice, we open ourselves up to additional problems, lawsuits, and expose women and children to unnecessary discomfort and danger.

But if good, sane people choose to sit quietly and allow this kind of decay to happen, then we'll get what we deserve.

Let's hope others in Maryland and around the country where this kind of silliness is being promoted join the Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government in saying, "No, the grownups are back in charge, and you're just going to have to deal with your sex!" "

Well, as usual I could not resist commenting, but moderation is on, so lets see if he has the guts to post it.

lady amarant;

You are a commenter par excellence.  I invite you to post your comments here in the topics also, let the yellow-belly bigots lack the stomach to stand toe-to-toe with opposing viewpoints.

These people can't be "convinced." No amount of scientific evidence or ethical reasoning will ever change their minds.

They WANT "the freaks" to come and argue with them. They NEED sinners and "sickos" to give their lives purpose and meaning. These sort of rants are bait... the more someone argues the validity of GID, the more empowered and justified they feel in their rants. You see it there: counter-arguments are just displayed as evidence of the "homosexual agenda" that threatens the world, lol.

They NEED us. They WANT to bait us into being part of their lives. Without us "freaks," they'd be lost, without direction or purpose, IMHO.

Kate;

I'm with you on that.  When I comment in their blogs, I try to convince those one or two reasonable people who might stumble in.

And I want to sharpen my argumentation & debate skills, on the off chance that I might one day have the chance to persuade a significant number of moderates to get off their duffs and make a difference for GLBT equality because it's the proper thing to do.

Are my posts wasted?  Only on the wingnut bloggers...

That's a GREAT point. I sometimes forget that "ordinary" people read those sites too. And it's great then to present a balanced view

Bob Ellis seems to be in a magnanimous mood and is approving the comments, so I answered another post about curing homosexuals with the below.  It's bait, and I'm trying to get "BoB" to say something 'in the clear' about how he really feels.  I won't try to argue with him.

While I was writing my last comment, Theophrastus Bombastus said that if there was a physiological basis for the existence of homosexuals and transsexuals, that we should research a cure.

Interesting.  I think that a cure that worked would be welcomed by a significant portion of homosexuals and transsexuals, as nobody rationally chooses to be an outcast, pariah, sub-human second-class citizen unworthy of participating in society.

Some cures happen suddenly, when someone has a flash of insight into the mechanism of an illness.  This is what happened with ulcers, when it was found they were caused by a bacteria that could easily be wiped out by a course of the right antibiotics.  Leprosy is another disease which was once thought to be a sign of God's retribution, but which is now treatable and in most cases curable.

Some diseases or conditions still don't have cures, even when we understand many of the mechanisms of the illness.  What of those who have Autism or Asperger's syndrome.  The consensus of medical science is now that there is a genetic predisposition coupled with environmental factors that leads to expression of autism.  But, there is no 'cure' for it once it is well manifested.

Being able to cure homosexuals and transsexuals may be a long way off.  What do you propose we do with homosexuals and transsexuals while we wait for an effective cure for these conditions, and what do you propose the homosexuals and transsexuals should do while THEY wait for a possible cure?

Oooh... I like that bait Karen. Sadly, check out the stock-standard cookie-cutter answer.
