"Homophobia is not permitted"...

...meaning, you have to like homosexuality, or at least pretend you do.

So, goodbye, openminded WP! Too bad you can't actually debate issues anymore, but hey, there are plenty of REAL discussion forums out there.

Just don't be a hateful bigoted dickhead.

I believe that the saying is "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." The rules here clearly state that you can insult a stance or ideology, but not a user. As we have LGBT users, homophobia violates that rule.

Anyone else see the irony in the fact that he wants us to be "open minded" towards his closed mindedness?

You know you're in a place that's high brow when you can't discuss the excretory function

The way I view it is, yeah, for reproductive purposes, homosexuality is "wrong" (if you want to use that word)...obviously they cannot produce offspring with one another, so why they would want to be together seems strange, as one of the primary purposes of life is to generate more of itself, and not only to survive but, ideally, to flourish. Homosexuality on the surface seems to run counter to this basic drive. But is it morally wrong? Not in my view. I view it as a form of natural population control, which at this point I think is needed. (Also they are more likely to adopt, I assume, than heterosexual couples. Take care of the kids that are already here, don't make more!) My guess is that if a study were to be done (perhaps it has, I should research this, though I don't know if the study would even be possible), we would find that there is a greater percentage of homosexuals today than at any other point in human history. Of course, like I said, this is a guess, mere speculation. But I don't think it's totally unlikely, or illogical to view homosexuality as a way to naturally curb population growth, which at this point seems to be detrimental to the whole. Also I think it is a part of the blurring of the line between the sexes. Today most men are more feminine than ever, and most women are more masculine than ever, which I don't view as a negative thing. I think it indicates greater harmony within the species, and within individuals (i.e. not supressing the anima/animus, but using it to one's advantage.)

(I hope I have not offended anyone with this post. I will say again, I do not view homosexuality as morally wrong, I am merely speculating as to the possible reasons for it, and why it seems to be becoming more prevalent.)

MarsCoban, homosexual people can breed like any other humans if they have intact sex organs and can pass on their genes to the next generation. being homosexual does not suddenly mean their eggs or sperm do not function normally. how they may choose to do so is of no consequence. so there is nothing wrong with them according to the parameters you have set out.
