Stop trying to legitimize your sexually deviant ways. It ain’t natural nor appealing. Get over it.


The American Medical Association no longer recognizes homosexuality as a form a paraphelia....also please note the articles below that point out homosexual behavior in the animal kingdom.



Natgeo article on animal homosexuality
An MSNBC article
Popular Science

Not natural my a**, this clearly shows that nature already has its fair share of homosexual animals.

Careful, your ignorance is showing.


I'm not ignorant. I'm very well aware this takes place in the animal kingdom. There are several theories as to why, but nobody really knows for sure.


ok, now your confusing me...you say you know homosexuality happens in nature, thereby making it by defination, natural...and then you say its not natural, and say your not ignorant.

what does that make you? Its like saying you know fire will burn you, and then saying you think fire wont burn you, and your not ignorant....this makes no sense.

ahh, I think dictionary.com can help out here:

id·i·ot   /ˈɪdiət/ Show Spelled[id-ee-uht] Show IPA
–noun
1.an utterly foolish or senseless person

ok, so your not ignorant, your just an idiot (by definition)...unless you can recify this in some other way...

Come on!

Can't you do better than calling someone an idiot simply because you can't make them agree with you?

Like I've said before, name calling is the surest sign that you've lost your argument.

When a comment is thoughtless, then call it thoughtless. The comment he made, made no sense, therefore it was senseless...and the definition of a person whom is without sense is in fact a idiot.

But I agree it was a bit below the belt. could have simply called it senseless as that is all that is needed. Guess I am feeling grumpy today.

I saw in the article that McMillen said she feared she would be thrown out of the prom because "we do live in the Bible Belt." What does that have to do with not being allowed to have a prom? What does the whole issue have to do with having a prom?

Who cares about what the students do at their prom? Let them have it for the love of Pete. By singling them out and making it an issue they are in fact advancing a negative opinion of the Bible Belt. Which could have been the whole reason for the issue being raised to begin with.

Those who are opposed to the lesbian couple should see this as an opportunity to display what they believe is the correct pairing of a male and female. Let the lesbian couples come and see what they are missing. If nothing else, being in the Bible Belt, they could pray before the prom that their "correct" behavior would have an influence on those they believe are behaving wrongly.

Instead they turned it into another "gay agenda" manifesto. Why bring attention to something that shouldn't really matter to anyone? I didn't have a lesbian couple at my prom. Back then, I more than likely would have encouraged it. Which makes me wonder if it is really an issue with the kids or the school staff.

Someone dropped the ball and made everyone miserable in my opinion.

What do you mean by saying you don't have to accept it?

That would be like me in the late 1960s early 1970s saying blacks were getting more rights and we should get used to it, although i don't have to accept it.

And what's wrong with a private prom anyway? In these economic times, saving the school the cost of putting it on would be a good thing.


WOW....You are confused about the nature of Democracy and Individual rights.

Democracy DOES NOT equal MOB RULE.

Quite the contrary.

Democracy is defined in Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary as:

Government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them either directly or through their elected agents;... a state of society characterized by nominal equality of rights and privileges.


majority rule can not be the only expression of "supreme power" in a democracy......... the majority would too easily tyrannize the minority.

Thus, while it is clear that democracy must guarantee the expression of the popular will through majority rule, it is equally clear that it must guarantee that the majority will not abuse use its power to violate the basic and inalienable rights of the minority.




Minority Rights I: Individual Rights vs. Majority Tyranny

Democracy therefore requires minority rights equally as it does majority rule.

Indeed, as democracy is conceived today, the minority's rights must be protected no matter how singular or alienated that minority is from the majority society; otherwise, the majority's rights lose their meaning.

In the United States, basic individual liberties are protected through the Bill of Rights.
