Chris_Sleeps Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Clarification, Wiki. An animal is a taxonomic member of the Kingdom Animalia. For biologists, this includes human beings, although for the general public the term "animal" means only non-human animals. I like this post. It says: "Here is a piece of information that proves me wrong, but if I put the next bit in bold maybe nobody will notice." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Flying is unnatural, how does something that weighs 300 tonnes get in the air. Why do some people only criticise progress when it suits their prejudices? Why is it some people like to peddle the procreation argument when referring to homosexuals as being unnatural, yet the same people are the first people to complain about over population. I cannot understand the level of venom towards homosexuals. How does a person's desire toward another of the same sex affect me, it of course doesn't. I'm glad on the evidence of this thread that most people embrace the idea of homosexuality, long may it continue. Well put, Antics. I have never in my entire life thought to "question" the ethics of hetrosexuals. It doesn't affect my life in any way, shape or form. Thankfully, the friends who I know are from all walks of the sexual sphere and I'm glad to know them for who they are, regardless of their gender.

As put by flamingjimmy, "It is though, in literally hundreds, possibly thousands of other species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosex...ior_in_animals " Do you compare yourself to other species, they do it so it's ok, reducing yourself to a, lets say for the feeble minded wild animal.

Chris_Sleeps Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Do you compare yourself to other species, they do it so it's ok I do compare myself to other species, but I don't use their behaviour to justify my own. I have a morality, which is quite unique in human beings - we can reason. So, do you have a reason for thinking homosexuality is wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffragette1 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 As put by flamingjimmy, "It is though, in literally hundreds, possibly thousands of other species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosex...ior_in_animals " Do you compare yourself to other species, they do it so it's ok, reducing yourself to a, lets say for the feeble minded wild animal. I think that the point people are making is that homosexuality is not unique to humans, nor is it is conscious decision to reject heterosexuality (although some political lesbian feminists would disagree with me on this), ergo it is natural. Morality is a man made construct and as humans for whom sexual attraction is not a deliberate choice, who can reason, as Chris Sleeps says, there is absolutely nothing unnatural or immoral about homosexuality.

If it's a quirk of nature no, it's possible to be born lacking, perhaps medical advances may cure it. if it's by choice yes it then becomes a perversion.
