I can think of the time they organized to get warning labels put on music albums, or tried to ban the teaching of homosexuality to children.

It should be the parent's choice if they want homosexuality taught to their child.


HA! science shows in twin studies that 20% of identical twins ENGAGING IN THAT BEHAVIOR are BORN WITH THAT PROPENSITY..

SO IT AIN'T GONNA matter if it comes out of the CLOSET IN SCHOOL OR NOT!..;)

SCHOOL AIN'T FOR A BOOK 3500 YEARS OLD PARAPHRASED TO MAKE A HUMAN PROPENSITY.. morally UN RIGHT.

GOD MAKES HOMOSEXUALS and even SCIENCE says THAT'S THE TRUTH NOW. ;)

SO yeah.. TECHNICALLY school is a place to learn about HOMOSEXUAL SCIENCE TOO...

Just like FRIGGING EVOLUTION... too..:)!

NO matter WHAT MORALLY confused religious conservative right types imagine as FANTASY in their 3500 HUNDRED year old book!..:!

And yeah dude.. or dudette or whomever you are.. i AM ROCK HARD STRAIGHT AND YOU CAN CHECK MY LAST blog post if ya don't believe it with over a score of gorgeous girls at a rave hall bar...

However this site is teaming with homosexual innate leaning folks.. so this IS A PLACE TO DEFEND 'EM at all costs in CAPS OR NOT..:)

Someone on the right got angry just because I had a different opinion than she and she censored me, to put it plainly. It just goes to show some of them don't want dialogue, they just want the world to bow to what they think. Another one didn't censor but called me a troll only because I disagreed with a phrase used and explained what I thought was the matter with using such a phrase. Not trollish in the slightest. I got called one for having the gumption to criticize an overused expression.

I think left-wing people can definitely do this too. Like if a more conservative person expresses any criticism of homosexuality or abortion, leftists think of them as horrible people. It's sometimes hard to draw the line between an OK opinion and an offensive and prejudiced opinion.

I am generally against censorship. I think everyone has the right to express their opinion. If someone's opinion is really offensive, hopefully many people will step in and inform that person of their flawed thinking. But people shouldn't be so quick to call others horrible people just because they don't agree with them.

u mad?

All I said was 'some people dont want homosexuality taught to their child.' and that triggered your fight-or-flight whiteknight response.

If only 20% of those homosexual twins are born gay then how were the other 80% made gay?

Including the footnote that "there are people in the world who attracted to the same gender" in a sex-ed class?

What's to object to about that?

YES, I AGREE that some Republican Senators and Baptist preachers MAY choose gay as a past time, just to pass the time, for some psychopathic leaning stimulation.

And obviously prisoners choose the lifestyle just to STILL GET IT ON, WHEN THE OPPOSITE members of the sex are not present.

And when it comes to human fetish.. and choice in general, overall, PER human possibilities in behavior.. almost ANYTHING GOES...

But never the less, SCIENCE RULES.

THE DAYS of RIGHT WING LEANING CONSERVATIVE BIBLE THUMPING BS are gone.....

AT least going that way. ;)

And nah.. I ain't MAD.. bro.. or sis...

This is just text.. I am like a Yogi monk ALL CALM INSIDE ALL THE TIME..

LIKE A river that flows to the ocean.. i AM self THE director AND producer of I of ego.. with continual ! Spirit FLOW JUST LETTING IT GO..:)

And that.. my dear or dude..

TAKES PRACTICE..PRACTICE...PRACTICE..:)

In the best ways of life..:)

In other words, I was/am just making a point passionately LOOKING in a poetic way..:)

Human emotion is at the core of ALL real HUMAN rational change.

Cold Hard Facts, AND REASONING, overall, just putS folks, TO SLEEP. ;)

I FOR ONE, use an Interesting, and yes, sometimes, uncomfortable mix of AN act of emotion and fActs.

But it is the challenge and adaptation that creates change.

NOT the status quo, my friend, sincerely, as such. :)

I tell them all I am on neither side and sometimes espouse views of both.

I'm sure some of them do, but I wouldn't assume that everyone on the left "recognizes ooOoOoOAnaOoOoOoo as one of their own".

Remember, those outside of a group often define the group differently than those inside it. There's plenty of groups left-wingers would identify as right-wing, that mainstream right wingers would feel mighty uncomfortable being lumped with; the same goes for groups the right would identify as left, but that mainstream left wingers would argue strongly against inclusion.

The fact you claim to be unaffiliated with a 'political tribe' doesn't mean that members of 'political tribes' won't identify you as an ally.

I suggest you read the article 'I Can Tolerate Anything Except The Outgroup'. Dox47 recommended it to me awhile ago, it's definitely a worthwhile read.

I would rather be seen as Socratian than an ally if being one is just going to polarize people.

Mentioning the existence and normality of homosexuality isn't objectionable, it's part of comprehensive sex-ed. I fail to see where the issue lays. :|
