The persecution of homosexuality started with the beginning of Christianity.
Not to mention not everyone in the world today is Christian. Christianity only makes up of 33% of the total world population. Seeing as everyone doesn't share a religion, it would be discriminatory to use any religious teachings for deciding moral issues that affect others outside that faction of faith.

I didn't say that homosexuality was a species all it's own.
I said it's naturally found in the animal kingdom.
People shouldn't feel guilty about being born with same sex attraction.

Earlier I stated that most of the worlds religions all condemn that, and they still do..
The persecution of adultery and stealing things and murdering people also started with Christianity.. Probably long before that.. Everyone condemns something in their life, this is what gives humanity a token of humanity..
Just because Christians were condemning it, or condemning other things, doesn't invalidate the condemnation. I hope I didn't allude earlier to Christians making up the whole population..
Since all religions condemn gay living (except for the synagogue of Satan).. There might be a few others, but they are going to be fringe ones.
Moral Issues have been integrated into all western governments including most European governments, and this is still the case. Albiet, they are now dwindling very rapidly.. because of government still using moral issues as a governor to make decisions and many things, (when it suits them), I feel that because of this, and that the other religions all feel the same way, it really isn't discriminatory, but I do agree that this discriminates against the subject here. Everyone discriminates though, I discriminated a few things this morning until I found a good breakfast item that I wanted, so I didn't discriminate against that one..
Right and left , and MSM use that word "discrimination" a lot to condemn anyone discriminating, but this action is not always wrong, or bad to do.

You say people aren't born sexual? That statement just won the ATS Pulitzer prize for ignorance..
When people are born, they are born male, or female, and those are certainly sexual, just ask a doctor..
Seeing this flagrant display of trolling people red flags me to ditch this thread and future discussions with you, since actual discussion jibes with your (something, I don't even think there is a name for it.)
Have a good day..
Are you sure I'm the ignorant one, friend? I'm pretty you just stated that you misunderstand gender and sexuality.
Male and female are GENDERS. Babies, Freud notwithstanding, are very rarely considered to be SEXUAL at birth.
*looks at the ATS Pulitzer [sic]* ... I think you should keep this ...
... and good day to you as well, friend.
Yes I'm sure.. Male is a sex and female is a sex.. Put it together and what's it spell? People were born either one , and each one is a sex..
Doctor 1: Hey there Jane, what sex was your new baby? " Oh, Hi doctor 1, Yes it was a Girl!
I was going to add a doctor2, but I'm thinking you still won't get it.
You are really making yourself appear even worse than you did before, you might as well be trying to convince everyone that the world is a happy touchy feely place full of birds and chirping nothingness, were you really trying to win an argument?..
You already got totally owned, so lets not push it. Try and keep a little dignity for yourself intact.
What is another word for gender?
What's another word for gender? Here's a list of words you may be looking for.
Noun

Being gay doesn't stop you having children...so you are wrong.

homosexuality is naturally found in animal species
So Russia ... and you? ... are against biology education?
Apparently Russia will throw someone in jail for saying to a teenager .... don't fret about having
same sex attraction feelings, it happens.
Dickson and Demir's results add to a number of studies that have shown the influence of genes on sexual behaviour, in both animals and humans. Homosexuality has been documented in more than 400 species, including many mammals, and research has linked this behaviour to everything from social factors to maternally inherited genes.
"It's pretty clear that the survival of a species depends heavily on its ability to reproduce. So that's something that you'd want programmed into the genes," Dickson says.
But the researchers caution that controls on a fruitfly's sexual behaviour are undoubtedly different from our own. "In the case of humans, we know that our sexual behaviours are not irreversibly set by our genes," says Dickson. "But that doesn't mean the genes have no influence," he adds.
"There's still a lot of mystery surrounding the causes of homosexuality," says Hans Van Gossum of the University of Antwerp, Belgium, who has studied fly mating patterns. "It's too early to draw strong conclusions on simple mechanisms like this.
FACT: There is not one animal in the entire natural kingdom that uses its penis to penetrate the anus of another male.
Do not confuse degenerate human sex perversions for loving expressions displayed in the animal kingdom, where a male may embrace another male or 2 males may 'fool around' with eachother.
The human has become perverted and corrupted, and that's that! We've lost touch with the Natural Law.
can easily evolve into paedophilia, with the intimidation and corruption of undeveloped youngsters by older perverts of the same sex.

Well said mate. It is not natural at all. Here in Australia, our school system don't teach our kids that it is natural either. It could be defect in genetic code for some, or some bad wiring in the brain- but most choose to jump the fence. Ive seen it a lot - married guys with kids one day just get up and leave their familes and say "sorrry 'm gay"! I think it is pathetic and weak.
Why would someone start a family, if they know that they are already gay (which most do) and then do damage to their kids & ex-wife? I think Putin is right, gay propaganda is not for children.

First dont put words in my mouth i said nothing about fixing gays that was from you. I simply said it's tied to genes in our genetic code. Isnt this what all gay people claim they were born that way? Its a genetic defect found in homosapiens so is alot of other things . Unless you mean people choose to be gay and if thats the case well then maybe putins right protecting the children you can't have it both ways.
PSdo you know why the scientists were trying to make fruit flies gay? Simple they wouldn't reproduce and no insecticides needed.edit on 1/18/14 by dragonridr because: (no reason given)

It is simply a defect in genetic code we found it in fruit flies now its just a matter of time until we find it in the human genome.

Right you are. Not only are those fence jumpers pathetic and weak cowards, they're self serving, self indulgent, narcissistic and arrogant.
I was once married to one of those, who knew of his 'aberration' when he met me, but did not declare it until later.
He deceptively married me, heterosexually, for his own self advancement in life.
The perversion and deception tend to go hand in hand.
So guess what he's doing now: trying to adopt a Tibetan 'boy' half his age and 'import' him into the country. (I'm serious).
Of course the USA will not allow it...Too weird!...It reeks of paedophilia!
I'm so sick of these people's frickn' arrogance and imposition on the rest of the world.
That's the kind of behaviour which Putin is talking about. Not so far fetched!
