Is Our World Too Comfortable With Bizarre Sexual Behaviour?

I personally think the world has forgotten where to draw the line
between respecting the differences of others and supporting and
promoting bizarre sexual behaviour. Why is a rejection of absurd
sexual orientation and behaviour viewed as a blow to human rights? Why
should we support gay people who want to get married...can't they just
live together? Isn't marriage supposed to be a sacred union between a
man and woman?

Why is a rejection of absurd sexual orientation and behavior viewed as a blow to human rights?  What happened to respecting the differences of others?
The writer must ether be a religious zealot or a politician, because she is talking out of both sides of her mouth.  If there were truly a respect in the differences of others, we would not need the laws we have.

It is because there is no respect in the differences of others that we need to have laws to protect people who are different.
She says she is no ultra-conservative, she writes like one.  And by looking at her picture she appears to be African-American.  But she has laws that protect her because of race.  But she wants to not give us those same like of rights.  That does not make sense.

I could be wrong, but it is MHO.

Natasha,

Have you been scouring the CWA mailing list or something?

As always, "bizarre sexual behavior" is a matter of taste and the author is just exploring her panic. What does AIDS have to do with the topic, by the way? The places where AIDS festers are famine and poverty-stricken nations where heterosexuality is sometimes enforced by death penalty.
I love the silly little reference to the Roman Empire, as if implying that it was sexual behavior and not rampant militarism that caused it to unravel. Also I like how she defines homosexuality as a "fashion", I guess if you start from there then it will be very hard to understand it.

To the author I'd recommend books, they are good for mouthful-o'-silly syndrome.

I also wonder if animals can be gays or lesbians too- I've never seen any that are. Are human beings the only creatures with strange sexual behaviour- and if so, why? It would then seem as if homosexuality is not so normal, after all.

Yeah, books would be a good place for her to start soldierjane. Apparently the author is not afraid to flaunt her ignorance and then form opinions based on it.

Animals, of course, do show homosexual behaviour. And, very few animals are monogamous. Perhaps that's not so normal.

Does bizarre sexual behaviour involve Lettuce?

Because, if it does, you can count me out.

[NicholeW.]

I spoz it could, Rebis. But it isn't a requirement. I think you can feel free to be bizarre in your sexual behavior without including lettuce!!

Why can't the author of that statement get a life and not worry about what people that she will never meet do with their own lives? and how can marriage between a man and a woman be so sacred considering the high divorce rates?

Oh, wait!  That book has "evolution" in it's title.  It must be filled with Satanic lies.

[NicholeW.]

Well, yes, Liz, it is! >

I don't know, kipper. Lets think about that one for a second. Why would rejecting anyone constitute as discrimination? It's just illogical!

I also wonder if animals can be gays or lesbians too

Yes, there are gay animals too. I've even seen some bestialist animals that try to cross species breed. In fact, animals are more sexually open minded / deviant than humans are. The great thing about animals is that they have absolutely no "moral religious restraint" whatsoever in that regard.

Countless International health organizations and donors are frantic with worry over the number of orphans, broken homes and broken lives that continue to result from the AIDS epidemic, particularly on the continent of Africa....

Wow, being gay had nothing to do with STDs since the 80s. I'm disturbed by the connection that she is trying to make between orientation and broken homes. This woman needs to educate herself.

Yes, stigma is wrong. But I find it very alarming to know that we live in an era in which many children know what it means to be gay even before they know what sex is. To me, that just cannot be right.

Homosexuality does not = the act of anal sex. It is a preference. Many children are aware of their preference before they know what sex is. You can learn about homosexuals without distributing inappropriate details - obviously. Again, this kind of infomation does NOTHING but promote acceptance for a phenomena that cannot be helped in certain people. In some civilized cultures that is called social progress.

In addition, this woman seems to be implying that one can BECOME homosexual by being exposed to the culture. Bull->-bleeped-<-.

First of all marriage is a legal contract between two people of consenting age.  The only time that it becomes sacred union is when it is a religious ceremony.  Most gay/lesbian marriages are of a civil nature, and there for not a sacred religious union.  It is however no less sacred to the couple involved.

And isn't living together a sin according to the Immoral Majority.  Living together does not give the partners legal rights as a marriage does.

My favorite line on television is by Jack McCoy, Assistant DA on Law and Order.  When asked if he was against gay marriages, He replies No. Why shouldn't they just as miserable as the rest of us.

I want to point a few items from this book that most people haven't heard of.

1. In biology there is a distinction between an organism's sex and it's gender.  In species that have sex, "male" is defined as "producing small gammetes."  In our species that's sperm.  "Female" is defined as "producing large gammetes."  Ova.  Always two sexes if the concept exists.  But in any one species there may be anywhere from one to five genders.  These are distinguished by body size, shape, and color.  In some species the gender of an individual may change over the course of the life-span.

2. A variety of species demonstrate homosexual and transsexual behavior.  For example, the mating balls I mentioned earlier always have a particular snake at the center that is giving off female pherimones.  The rest of the snakes in the ball are males endevoring to mate with her.  But in a percentage of the balls, the snake giving off the female pherimones is a male, resulting in a gay ball.

3. In species with more than two genders, each gender has a place in mating rituals.  Three-somes and four-somes are not uncommon.  So, for example, sunfish have three-somes in order to reproduce with each of the three having a role to play.

I remember listening to a talk on the radio (I'm sorry, I don't remember who it was.) where he said that if relious people wanted to stop gay sex, they should let gay people get married.  It got a good laugh from the audience.

i wonder how true that would actually be...lol

You could do a poll, Mickie!! > or get Nero to start one!!

Danielle isn't African-American, she's Dominican. The Caribbean, where she lives, is the most rabidly homophobic region in the world. Mobs in Jamaica will attack and kill anyone perceived as gay.

[Keira]

There's plenty of rhetorical devices used in this pieces which can be ripped to pieces.
First, who defines bizarre, bizarre is defined culturally, morally and also individually.
What's bizarre for you, may be perfectly normal for a Rastafarian living in Jamaica.
Awhile back, women voting, owning property or working would have been seen as
bizarre...

Couldn't the poor little wives be happy being supported by their husband, who
obviously knows what's good for them...

Secondly, the definition of marriage itself does match well with the religious definition because
civil law adopted that definition which was pervasive in a Judeo Christian society.

In many society it started more a contractual obligation with much cultural overtones (less
influenced by relgion than by the role of men and women in the culture in general). The
fact that it was a man and a women was incidental, only relevant because of the reproductive
aspect. The marriage was mostly an exchange or money and status.

The main reason for gays wanting marriage is that there is so much legal case law
and jurisprudence about countless contractual documents with employers, governments and service
providers, that getting the ability to marry enables to not have to fight
all these legal battles all over again.

If they were able to create something with identical legal rights
to marriage (but not the same name) in all those
documents called "yapyap" instead of marriage , I'm sure most would be satisfied with
that.

I'd love to get YAPYAPPED...
