• Is homosexuality a disorder?

Being a homosexual isn't unnatural. Take a look at goats and other mammals. They have homosexual relationships, and they sure as hell don't "choose" to be gay. And since they can't choose and it comes by their instincts then it is natural, no? There is no such thing as natural or unnatural, it's just a word crazy talibangelicals use to justify their dying faith's wrath

[QUOTE=Javascript;18766932]Are you fucking kidding me? Homosexuality is a choice. Not a disorder. Being gay is as much of a disorder as being heterosexual is. God damn people are ignorant.[/QUOTE] Look look buddy, read my post in it's entirety, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for thinking in a different perspective, is that also a disorder? Original Post Retracted.
It is a disorder, and op is right, why the hell would a cure for homosexuality be wrong? Nobody would be forcing you to cure yourself (I hope). Don't get me wrong, I'm not homophobic, but it is a disorder, anything that doesn't work as it's supposed to is disordered.
There is no proven genetic issue causing homosexuality, and likely there never will be. There is no disease or virus. It's a preference, basically, that you're born with. Your mentality. It's not a choice, it's not a disease, it's not a problem. Just like everyone else, you have a preference in people physically and emotionally. The only difference is that homosexuals and bisexuals have a preference for one or the other, or have no preference at all.
No. There might be a gene that makes it more likely to be attracted to men though. Think why so many of the gays also act so girly?
No.
There are physical and biological differences of the brain and body. In a gay male, the hypothalamus is more comparable to a straight female. In a gay female, the hypothalamus is more like that of a straight male. There are a lot more biological and physiological differences. Can you think of this as a disorder? In some way you [I]could,[/I] mainly being that the brain has taken on a different gender than the body. Also for people who think homosexuals "choose to be gay" well, then how is being straight any different? Do we "choose to be straight"?
We been spendin' most our lives Postin' in a trolls paradise
[QUOTE=Zamped;18766916]It is. The whole purpose of life is to reproduce. You can't reproduce with some the same gender as you. We are genetically hard-wired to be attracted to the opposite gender and if you are not, you have a genetic disorder. Not saying that it's a bad thing though.[/QUOTE] That was succinct. And correct. Most people would counter with the usual - but animals do it! Or maybe even the - you heartless Neanderthal, you're probably a Christian! Pretty useless arguments. Living a life of convenience is essentially the trademark of a secularized society. Meaning just because you have the sexual inhibition of a rabbit, doesn't mean you should go fucking guys.
If you think all human beings reproducing is normal then by all definitiions no: it isn't normal. In my opinion we're not here for any purpose beyond what we make for ourselves so it doesn't matter. It's just your sexual orientation; it's not a seperate rank of person.
[QUOTE=rukiddingme;18766997]You can't avoid the fact that it isn't what humans are supposed to do though. If we all turn gay we will become extinct.[/QUOTE]Modern medicine, sperm banks, and in vitro fertilization says different. At any rate, it's been theorized that over (or under) exposure to testosterone and other chemicals and hormones in the womb leads to deviant sexual behavior and tendencies. If it happens, there has to be a reason for it. One cannot simply call it "unnatural" without any proof that it truly is unnatural.
Homosexuality is really fucking gay.

Being gay is actually a combination of genetic and sociological factors, but yes genetics do play a role somewhat, most gays don't choose to like men.
Well it could be seen as one as it stops the species from reproducing.
Why the [b]fuck[/b] are you rating me dumb? I mean, I agree with "actively' trying to seek a cure for autism, but you can't cure it. I think some of you misinterpreted what I said. I have nothing against homosexuals, shit, I'm about as far left as you can go. What I'm getting at is, homosexuality is [B]NOT[/B] a disorder. It isn't something that can be cured, there isn't some drug in the corrupted pharmaceutical industry that can "cure" it. It's the freedom of choice.
Yes because all heterosexual people reproduce.

[QUOTE=scorpion8754;18767079]Homosexuality is really fucking gay.[/QUOTE] Homosexuals are gay? WTF?
[QUOTE=LF9000;18767129]They are called asexuals, [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality[/url] People could simply not be interested in sex[/QUOTE] I'm implying that not all heterosexual couples reproduce. Are you 12 or something OP?
It depends how you look at it. If you believe that we as animals (mammals correctly) main purpose is to reproduce, then you could argue that it is a disorder. Then again, being gay doesn't STOP you from reproducing, you still have the ability and freedom to do so. It is not like someone being gay actually stops them from having sex with a lady, they'd just prefer not to. So it really depends how you look at it. I can see why bible throwers think so, though I agree it is stupid.
[QUOTE=FrontFuze;18767139]How are they useless arguments? You are such a fucking ignorant prick. If a guy is attracted to another guy, what the fuck do you want him to do, force himself to fuck a woman?[/QUOTE] That's not what he was saying. He meant that there has to be something genetically wrong with someone who is homosexual because it is our sole purpose in life to reproduce.
I'd call it a personality trait.
The principle question here is basically the meaning of existence. People who believe life only exists to reproduce are alwyas going to be against homosexuality... but living for reproduction is hardly an existence, if you ask me. In my opinion it doesn't matter why we're here. What matters is that [I]we are here[/I] and that we're the only people who decide what to value and strive for.
[QUOTE=jcallan;18767145]I'm implying that not all heterosexual couples reproduce. Are you 12 or something OP?[/QUOTE] I'm implying that not all heterosexual couples are actually heterosexuals, they might actually be clost asexuals. Asexuality (also known as nonsexuality) in its broadest sense, describes lack of sexual attraction, or interest in or desire for sex. I like how thinking differently makes you dumb and 12 years old.
