What part of the gay lifestyle offends you?

[BlawBlaw]

In theory, there is no necessary connection between sexual orientation and lifestyle. In practice, there is a lifestyle that is much more prevalent with gays than straights.

Is AIDS a "gay disease"? The PC answer is no because the virus affects men and women equally and regardless of sexual orientation. The reality in the North American context is that AIDS is 50 to 100 times more common in gay men.

Guess why? It has something to do with their lifestyle! Certainly there are some straight women who allow themselves to be sodomized by hundreds of anonymous men without the use of a condom, but they are the exception rather than the rule.

The very idea of males cornholing each other, and likewise females performing same-sex cunnilingus, turns me off no end.

I resent their insistance that their lifestyle be accepted as a form of normalcy, while at the same time claiming to be a special-interest group.

The hippie left-wing condoning of this has brought nothing but grief for parents with children, school boards, and, above all, the church.

Their constant in-your-face antics will continue until our HRC's have given them everything their way.

I'm missing the option

ALL OF IT

so I opted for the SSM, adoption etc one.

But honestly, I could do without any of their garbage. Whatever they practice in their bedrooms or homes or whatever is their problem (and it truly is a problem).. but I don't want to hear or see any of the crap.

Exactly. Their militant efforts to present their lifestyle as "normal" and "acceptable" and their bullying of anyone who thinks otherwise -- that's what turns people against these perverts. If someone tried to teach children that it's ok to wet the bed or if someone tried to have his pet officially recognized as his "wife", my reaction would be exactly the same.

An effective strategy might be not to think about it.

AIDS was previously known as Gay Related Immune Deficiency (GRID). But just as the World Health Organization decided that homosexuality is not a disorder but an "orientation", the name was changed and talking about the link between "orientation" and infection rate became hate-mongering

By the way, this day may be "world's AIDS day" for some but for me it's the anniversary of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Kirov">Kirov</A>'s assasination (Dec.1, 1934) which began the series of purges waged by Stalinist government against what's left of the "in-party opposition" as well as ordinary citizens who dared to voice their discontent.

[HeywoodFloyd]

I don't accept the premise of the question. There is no more of a "gay lifestyle" than a "straight lifestyle".

Homosexuality is a real stupid life choice. To me, that makes it a lifestyle. This is AIDS day and if you want to get rid of AIDS, get rid of homosexuals.

Your framing of the argument is fallacious. There is no evidence that there is any choice in being gay.

People can be conditioned to reject their sexuality and thus "be cured" but that conditioning works is no sign that being homosexual is abnormal any more than pavlovian conditioning indicating that a dog not drooling at the sound of a bell is an abnormal state.

Your framing of the argument is fallacious. There is no evidence that there is any choice in being gay.

It turns out that the trait profile for human handedness is astonishingly similar to a profile clinicians and geneticists have assembled of another human trait—sexual orientation. Heterosexuality, the majority orientation, accounts for roughly 95 percent of us, while homosexuality, the minority orientation, accounts for roughly 5 percent. (The "10 percent gay" figure has always been merely a statistical concoction of some overly-aggressive gay activists.) Clinical research clearly shows that homosexuality is heritable, like left-handedness. Neither trait correlates with any environmental factors. All the twin studies indicate biology. (Just to make it clear: Everyone agrees that being right- or left-handed is a biological trait, but probably there are some genes creating handedness and some non-genetic biological factors like hormones and neural structure. Which is why with many identical twins, one twin is right-handed and the other left-handed. The same for sexual orientation in identical twins. But—surprise—with sexual orientation, both twins share the trait homosexuality more often than they do left-handedness—yet no one would claim this is evidence that left-handedness is a "chosen alternative lifestyle" because left-handedness isn't seen as a moral issue—any more. It used to be. Then society changed.) The sexual orientation, like the handedness, of adopted children bears no relationship to that of adoptive parents (a powerful control demonstrating that environment is not a factor in creating sexual orientation). And both show a "maternal effect" pointing towards the X chromosome.

and their bullying of anyone who thinks otherwise

Yes I think we all are sick of this.

AIDS was previously known as Gay Related Immune Deficiency (GRID). But just as the World Health Organization decided that homosexuality is not a disorder but an "orientation", the name was changed and talking about the link between "orientation" and infection rate became hate-mongering

I think no matter how much anyone wants to frame this disease, it still remains a behavior driven disease.
Change the risky behavior and the infection rate will go down.

Seems like your quote backs me up.

The indcidence of twins with difference handedness is 20%.

Sometimes your right.

It's always amazed me that when a heterosexual suddenly discovers he or she is homosexual, the world rejoices and accepts this without question, but a homosexual can never, ever, EVER suddenly discover he or she is really heterosexual, and if that individual even THINKS of attempting to change, he's going to do irreparable harm to himself and the world!

[Bill Whatcott]

I can't really vote on this. You left the most important reason out. My vote would have been:

Because: Homosexuality is wrong!

I really don't see it as something to rejoice about.

The thing that offends me the most about the gay conspiracy is that they haven't invited me to one post- final exams party yet. If they want me to hate mom and Jesus and apple pie with them, the least they could do is invite me to a soiree every once in a while...
