Proposal: Ban Homosexuality

Pages : [1] 2
02-11-2003, 02:00
On page 14 of the UN proposal there is a new one to ban homosexuality. All states which believe in natural law and decency are urged to support it in the fact of a socialist/liberal onslaught on family life!!

Support the proposal to bring back family values and re-assert hetrosexuality as the mainstay of a healthy country ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Why do you think the state has the right to regulate who we can or cannot consensually screw?

I would rather ban heterosexuality, at least that way overpopulation wouldn't be such a problem.
02-11-2003, 02:17
I note my staunch and total opposition to this proposal. if it does come to vote, (which i dont think it will) be assured that i will vote it down.

I will be firmly, wholeheartedly against this.

diseases such as...? You DO know that AIDS spreads just as well heterosexually as homosexually right?

And I don't see what this have to do with productivity... if someone likes to screw people of the same sex, that person might have a HIGHER morale and be MORE productive if he/she is allowed to...

ok dieseases such as this are most of the time started from gay realtions ships then spread. And with productivity if there were no gays then that would increase the amunt of people within your countries which means more workers and more workers mean more production of goods! it also creates more demand of food and other goods.

1) If you're talking about AIDS it appeared first in Africa in 1959 because it managed to cross the barrier into humans. It was latent already in some people it just mutated into a deadly version. It had nothing to do with being gay or not.

2) Slavery is a great short-term boost to productivity too. Why don't we do that? And I remember you argued AGAINST cloning even though it would theoretically increase population a bit too...?

All the ban will do is create a black-market in homosexual products. You cannot regulate a person's sexuality. It will cause a significant government expense to police an attitude that is beyond an individual's control. I am hetero and this one is just a moral majority's view of controlling an individual's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
02-11-2003, 02:31
Indeed, Global Market, current estimates have it that 80% of international transmission of HIV results from heterosexual activity, which means that only 20% results from poor hygiene with respect to medical and illicit injections, mother-to-child transmission and homosexual activity.

I should add, of course, that I firmly oppose the banning of any form of consensual love.

Then homosexuality is genetically programmed in many people, so isn't that "natural" too?

I think children should have the right to have sex, as long as it's consensual. They still have ownership of their bodies.

And of Portugal, notice how you're the only one against homosexuality here? Read some of the polls, I've NEVER seen the percentage of Americans who are opposed to homosexuality above 40%, including from right-wing websites. It's uslaly listed 25-30%.

Even so... what gives the state the right to tell YOU what to do with YOUR body.

Because human life is intrinsically value since humans posses the ability to reason effectively.
02-11-2003, 02:37
Of portugal,

You have yet to give a decent reason why we shouldn't accept homosexuals. Your contention that they bear a disproportionate share of the responsibility for AIDS is false, and your second contention that we should force people to have babies in order to boost production is both illiberal in the extreme and bad long-term politics; the Earth can only sustain a certain population level.

Nevermind that gay relationships have lower instances of domestic abuse, infidelity &, in the case of gay marriages, divorce than heterosexual relationships, right?

Yep. That seems like the basis to a healthy country to me. Go to work, bring the paychecks in, beat the wife, cheat on her with your secretary -- it's all good as long as you're not queer.

You're an f-ing idiot. I go to a Catholic school and nobody thinks that homosexuality is acquired or anything. In fact, 15% of people THAT's almost ONE IN SIX are genetically predisposed to being homosexual.

Actually look up some facts before trying to argue. If you want to be anti-homosexual at least have a rational argument instead of trying to argue about this "natural law".

Now tell me where in the BIBLE it says anything about the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah being to do with homosexuality; and then tell me why I should obey what you interpret into a book I don't believe anyways. Would you like me to dictate laws to you from the writings of Buddha or the recitations of Mohammed?

Here's one plus to homosexuality: less people getting pregnant and coming up with pathetic arguments about how the child isnt a person so its ok to kill them. Outside of that, I can see no plus to it.

How about the right to your own body? There aren't any pluses or minuses to homosexuality... but it is a right.

no they don't. it goes against instinct. humans are the only animals that have sex for pleasure. animals wouldn't have any need for homosexuality. especially considering that a primary point in an animals life is to reproduce.

Yes, they do. Animals being homosexual is the same as humans being homosexual-it is a genetic lottery, whoever is homosexual is homosexual. You can't make a homosexual become straight, unless you can find a way to alter their genes.
02-11-2003, 03:11

my personal opinion is that animals do not have souls, they may be intelligent, but that's what seperates us from them.

Can you prove empirically that humans have souls? If not, why should we base government policy on anything regarding souls?

no they don't. it goes against instinct. humans are the only animals that have sex for pleasure. animals wouldn't have any need for homosexuality. especially considering that a primary point in an animals life is to reproduce.

Incorrect, Bonobos (the second closest genetic cousin to humans) have sex as a matter of societal structure, and all higher mammals' pleasure centers in the brain are stimulated by intercourse.

So, you haven't addressed the fact that animals do have homosexual intercourse, and fail to address empirical evidence showing that humans have souls. You also fail on addressing your assertion that animals do not have souls.

Therefore, we shouldn't listen to you when it comes to matters of human governance.

The research I've seen claims that sexual preference is a complicated thing, coming down to a mixture of factors, only some of which are genetic. But certainly some people are genetically more likely to be homosexual.

There are genes that are recessive and dominant. I'm thinking homosexuality is a recessive gene. Think of it like this:
A is heterosexuality. a is homosexuality. A person with Aa sexuality genes would be straight. However, if this person breeded with another Aa person, they would have a 1 in 4 chance of producing a homosexual child. This theory also works with hair color. For example, both of my parents have brown hair, but I have red.

02-11-2003, 03:20
Jorg,

That's a step in the right direction. But the research does seem to implie a further degree of complexity - which is that different versions of many different genes are statistically linked to different forms of sexual behaviour, from homosexuality to nympho/satyromania, and whatever mix you get conditions in the womb and in upbringing also appear to play a big role. But part of it definitely seems to be genetic - it's just a little difficult to quantify how big a part.

We could use the same logic to disprove all of your points. If homosexuality is wrong in God's eye, then prove God exists. If homosexuality isn't genetic, prove it isn't.

We're talking predisposition here, not involuntary and pressurised behaviour. They tried making homosexuality illegal before, and it turned into a complete blackmailer's charter - see an old black and white flick called 'victim' (I think that's the name, anyway).

Yes, I believe that there are many different "levels" of homosexuality, where nurture could overcome nature in a sexual preference of a person.

regardless of the causes for homosexuality, what is comes down to is whether or not it is right.
02-11-2003, 03:26
Ah, the question of how much we should censor what our children see.

Personally, I think too much sexual stuff being dragged up in front of kids is generally bad - sexual education needs to be done carefully, since it's an easy thing for a person to get messed up about (come on, people - love messes all of us up, right?) But a part of that education should tackle homosexuality, and I don't see that there's any more harm in exposing your kids to homosexuality than heterosexuality.

Homosexuality does not spread diseases to anyone that isn't a homosexual, and if you are going to ban things because they cause diseases then you should ban the eating of pigs. That is where we get alot of our diseases and you actually spread them to other people involentarily.

And banning homosexuality does not increase population growth, homosexuals aren't just going to decide to not be homosexual anymore now that it's banned, they just wont have sex with women.

If you ask me, this arguement has become ridiculous! This isn't a debate over whether homosexuality is better or worse than heterosexuality! Half of the posts here seem to support the view that a nation's population must be either entirely heterosexual or entirely homosexual. People have a right to freedom of sexual expression. Two consenting people, whether they be homosexual or heterosexual, should be allowed to do what they want in the privacy of their own homes so long as no one is harmed by it. I just don't see a good reason to ban homosexuality.

Edit: Might I also add that a ban on homosexuality is in violation of several existing UN resolutions; Sexual Freedom, Stop Privacy Intrusion, Gay Rights, and The Universal Bill of Rights.

Free will is more important than right to bear arms, right to an education or even freedom of speech. The right to let good wholesome citizens to think and do what they want, as long it is within the bounds of law, is an essential one. If we force law-abiding citizens to change the way they think, are we any better than Big Brother or Stalin?

It is the postion of Comrade Ernest that as long as the act is consenual, there is no problem. Homosexuality should not be banned.

Comrade Ernest also sends word that he is ashamed of the nation of Kaglar.

regardless of the causes for homosexuality, what is comes down to is whether or not it is right.

And since you are asserting that it is wrong, the burden of proof is upon you to show it is wrong. Don't give us any of that tripe about "subjectivist morality", don't give us any of that dogmatic tripe from any religion. Show us empirically that homosexuality is wrong. If you cannot analyse the relationships between the action and any corporeal consequences, then you shouldn't be arguing morality and ethics.

you can't always control what your kids are exposed to. if the government has strict rules concerning pornagrophy because people have a problem with it, then shouldn't there also be laws about homosexuality. not necassarily ban it, but limit its visibility

There is no right to "not be inconvenienced" nor is there any right to "not be offended". If you start censoring ("limiting visibility" is only a thinly veiled euphemism) homosexual's freedom of expression you debase the entire concept of that freedom. If you do not want your children growing up thinking that something is correct, then the onus is upon you to raise them the way you see fit. It is not our responsibility to shelter yourself, nor your children.

A similar proposal, would be banning the visibility of Christians, not just in government funded buildings (which shouldn't bias one way or the other against the freedom of association of anyone on any grounds), but everywhere. Church spires are eyesores, and they bring down the value of property. Where as, homosexuals (tend to) bring up the property value.

This argument wouldn't fly with anyone. Not even the staunchest (intelligent and rational) athiest would accept it. Neither would anyone support your "limiting the visibility" (coughcensoringcough) of homosexual freedom of expression.

not everyone is offended by murder, porn, prostitution or theft either

Again, there is no right to be free from offense. And murder and theft are illegal because they use the initiation of force to remove something from anothers possession. Furthermore, in the case of murder, it is illegal because of the underlying consequences of murder. Foremost the removal of a persons most sacred possession (their life), but more subtlely, it robs society of potential labour and advance. It robs the government of tax income, it robs indirectly of even more tax income (cost of keeping murder alive, and cost of killing the murderer).

So, murder and theft are rightly illegal because they unduly remove something from the rightful owner. Whereas, you cannot argue logically that anyones being homosexual reduces your ownership of anything, nor do they forcefully abscond anything from you.

Press Release from the United Socialist States of Kholodsk:

The USSK opposes, both formally and morally, this resolution. Homosexuality, while repugnant to some individuals, poses no danger to the rights of the people and the continuance of society. The USSK has always supported the rights of all people, regardless of nationality, race, color, religion, creed, gender, sex, sexual preference, literacy, or mental capacity. The USSK recognizes the value of discussing all issues before making a final decision, and that is surely the purpose of this resolution. However, to act in favor of this resolution would be a gross violation of the human right to choose their own lifestyle while providing no benefit and in fact hindering the development of society.

I don't wanna hear any of that BS about scientists almost figuring out how to place a womb in a guy's body because that is just wrong and should never have been a topic in the first place, now all nations supporting faggots' rights should take a tip from Kaglar and me. We got the right idea. kill off the faggot gene. Publicly execute them so they may atone for the sin of lust, or shove them in zoos so that they can be mocked and more importantly kept separate from society. It's like Hitler burning the heretical Jews, and the lustful faggots, and the greedy, cheating, stealing, gypsies. Or the Fourth Crusade to avenge the Jews for their murder of a false messiah. Or torturing political prisoners like Saddam did, because they commited the more venial sin of speaking badly of his government.

as much as i want to get off of this thread, i keep coming back and getting even more astounded by the de-evolution of people. but i got a good point, "how the F-UCK can a gay gene be passed down by some one who doesn't reproduce??!!!! wtf? preventing them from intercouse will only encourage it more!! and you will note that condom sales and lube sales in your nation will plumit!!! nations like you really need a big wave to come from the ocean and wipe you out. the sooner the better.
there are some great arguments here, but most of the against are either stupid rednecks, or god quotes.
i got one for you to find.
since they seem to be mostly christain, find me an exact quote where god specificly mentions homosexuality as being wrong. hell see if jesus even mentioned it!!! or check the 10 commandments. you will never find one in any real bible. and homosexuality wasn't even a word untill recent times.
i say go ahead, ban it. what will happen to your arts? your society? fashion? culterail diversity? don't like homosexuals? well don't use any thing they have ever invented, or created. as much as i would love to see you research what we invented, i'll give you one: philosophy.
(ok, it was probly invented by a hetero, but most of the greek philosphers were gay) yeah, philosphy is that thing that you incorperate in your daily life and don't know about it.

wow, if christianity is such a loving and accepting religion, i think you primitive screw heads are in the wrong religion. i would like to tell you of a religion that has nothing to do with love and acceptance, but i can't think of any. hell, (no pun intended), even satanists are loving and accepting people. (*note, there are a few screw heads in the satanic religon that are the sterotypical "devil" worshipering type. but true lavayists sound like better christains then those here that call them selves christians and show absolutly no regaurd for their fellow man.)
shame on you. "judge not, yet ye be judged"

Syncomp15, your argument is not viable. A limitation on the value of rights does not always have to end up in pushy police officers. In fact it is illogical to think that police get more pushy if governments look less at individual right and more at say happiness. The fact is that people do not want to be completely free when they think about it. People with religion want to belong to their God/gods, people outside of religion want to belong to someone else (a partner) or to their jobs. Rights have no intrinsic value because a right to one thing can always be offset by another right. For example, the right to free speech encroahes the right for people not to listen to somebody else, the right to own a gun encroaches other people's right to live in a gun-less society, the right to child sex encroaches the right to keep a child innocent. What is a right? What makes one right better than the other? Since we can not value our rights, I don't think we can say rights exist.

As a disciple of Jesus Christ (Christian), this is what the Jesus tells me through scripture. Have love and compassion for everyone, but hate what is evil. Scripture says that homosexuality is an "abomanation" to God. But that still doesn't negate the fact that God loves ALL of us. Mary Magdelene was a whore (prostitute), but she gave up that "LIFESTYLE" to follow Jesus. Just as anyone who is actively a whore, liar, thief, adulter, homosexual, and even anyone who engages in other sexual activities, Christ makes it clear that these people will not inherit His kingdom. In other words, hell will be theirs for eternity. As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I don't hate the person, but just the evil that is done. For if I hate the person, then I must hate myself as well. For even though I do not engage in the above mentioned sinful acts, as a "christian", there are other sinful acts that can cause me to reside in hell, such as, judging other people, being self-righteous, lust of the heart, and other things. Just as someone reached out to me, and told me and taught me through the word of God (Bible), and did not judge me for who I was at the time (a lying, violent, sexually active, selfish person), that is what Christ has commanded me to do. Reach out to those who are lost and hurting, without judging them. But to say that satanist "lavayists" are better christians than christians is absurd. There are some people who call themselves christians, but at heart, they are not. They leave the bad taste in the mouth of some people who have sought out Christ. But, if you do not read your Bible, and only rely on what you hear from other people, then you are bound to be mislead. For the Bible even tells us that there are "wolves in sheeps clothing". And for yourself, why not pray and ask God to lead you to the right place and the right person(s) (church). I know for a fact that He will do just that. You have EVERYTHING to gain if you do, and EVERYTHING to lose if you don't.

I do not believe that Homosexuality is genetic or normal. But I believe that it is not up to the UN, or a country's government to "KEEL ALL DA FAGZ0r!!1!!!11shift+one!1!"
If people wish to have such a relationship, it is up to them to live with their decisions.

Also, anyone who uses terms such as "Screw Heads", "Dill Holes" and other such derrogitory remarks obviously is below the mental capacity to have a civilized debate. The Empire of Quasi-Misanthropy will firmly oppose this resolution, even though our Government is decidedly pro-heterosexual

I would just like to say ive read a lot of posts in this forum and i find it amusing that so many of the people that are defending homosexuality are trying to make it clear that they are not gay. As if someone is gonna get the wrong idea about you in this game. Thats right its a game.
And by the way i do not agree with homosexuality for a number of reasons that i just dont feel like going into and u cant make me. But reguardless they have as much right to be queer as i do to be straight. I will say this to any queer men out there, ive done chicks in the dumper and the honey hole feels a lot better trust me.

Oh by the way im really really really not gay honest.

secound, homosexuality isn't a choice. like how a heart beats, you can't controle it. it just happens.
third, i use the word primitive screw head to lower myself to the homophob's level. maybe they will respond to a language they under stand.
lastly: if you are going to use the bible as a referance, please site an exact quote where god or jesus say that it is a sin. but before you do, look at the text surounding it, cuz it is easy to take the bible out of context. if i tryed hard enough i could find examples in it where it specificly says it's ok to have more then one wife, beat your children, and other things along that vein.

As for the bible going against homosexuality...


well according to the bible i shall not plant 2 different crops in the same field... Lev. 19:19

i also can't approach the alter of god due to vision impairments lev 21:20

i know people who work on the sabbath... exodus 35:2 states we should kill them, so we should pass a proposal through the UN both choosing a set day for the sabbath and also killing those who decide to do work, such work may include, the act of lifting a phone, walking, running, eating, cooking, and many others.

We should also ban the eating of shellfish lev. 11:10

Now i must admit i wear shirts with two different types of thread my runing shorts for example have spandex in them, but this is expressly forbidden by lev. 19:19 why doesn't the UN step in and stop this? Polyester/Cotton blends must be stopped!

Now isn't it a tad odd that you can choose to pick and choose what does and does not apply in the bible so it fits your arguement and personal inhibitions? I have yet to see a proposal to stop the blasphemous polyester/cotton blends from incurring gods wrath. Or preventing the creation of grass seed blends to give your lawn added durability.

And as for you people quoting the bible in a feeble attempt to bash gays, I'd just like to present a few of the wonderful passages from the bible:

"Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!"
- Psalms 137:9

"It is an abomination to trim the hair on one's temples or to trim one's beard."
- Leviticus 19:28

"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives."
- Deuteronomy 22:28

"Behold, I will corrupt your seed and spread dung upon your faces..."
- Malachi 2:3

"For the wife does not rule over her own body, but the husband does..."
- 1 Corinthians 7:4

"Likewise, you wives, be submissive to your husbands..."
- 1 Peter 3:1

ya know, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. every one is entitled to their own opinions, but isn't there like some kind of rule about posting offensive stuff? i mean, if you don't like hoomosexuals atleast post it in a civil way. kinda like of portugual, at least he trys to make a point. besides, why hate gays? most guys take it as acomplement when a guy checks him out. a gay guy is one less person your girlfriend will cheat on you with. so, in the mean time, learn some maners, you primitive screw head.
05-11-2003, 11:10
I will deport any homosexuals from my nation to that Gay region place. The gay gene, according to some scientific evidence, is passed down, so if we prevent them from intercourse, homosexuality will quickly die out.

as much as i want to get off of this thread, i keep coming back and getting even more astounded by the de-evolution of people. but i got a good point, "how the F-UCK can a gay gene be passed down by some one who doesn't reproduce??!!!! wtf? preventing them from intercouse will only encourage it more!! and you will note that condom sales and lube sales in your nation will plumit!!! nations like you really need a big wave to come from the ocean and wipe you out. the sooner the better.
there are some great arguments here, but most of the against are either stupid rednecks, or god quotes.
i got one for you to find.
since they seem to be mostly christain, find me an exact quote where god specificly mentions homosexuality as being wrong. hell see if jesus even mentioned it!!! or check the 10 commandments. you will never find one in any real bible. and homosexuality wasn't even a word untill recent times.
i say go ahead, ban it. what will happen to your arts? your society? fashion? culterail diversity? don't like homosexuals? well don't use any thing they have ever invented, or created. as much as i would love to see you research what we invented, i'll give you one: philosophy.
(ok, it was probly invented by a hetero, but most of the greek philosphers were gay) yeah, philosphy is that thing that you incorperate in your daily life and don't know about it.
ok, i am done with this, but before i go...

So homosexuality just sprung up in the last century? Are you hoping the rest of us are too hopelessly stupid to know that homosexual practices were common in classical times, millenia ago?

Oh by the way, if homosexuality were to be banned would that mean the banning of all homosexual activites. That is crazy! That means men and women won't be able to "practice" with their friends before they go on dates! That means men won't be able to go the ballet! That means men can no longer wear three quarterlength trousers! That means women can no longer listen to Melissa Ethridge and the Indigo Girls! That means women can't cup their friends breast to find out what bra size they need! That means women can't play sports! That means men can't play sports because we all know that sports is just a way of releasing homosexual tension so that they can hug and touch their same sex friends after scoring without being persecuted not to mention so that they can shower together after a game when they are all hot and sweaty.

like i said these polls are not among everyone in the us it is usally to the more upper class people in society! homo's are looked down upon in our society!

The "more upper class people" you speak about are those with phone lines, in most cases... by random digit dialing, so cell users and unlisted numbers get surveyed too. (This is going by Statistics Canada phone survey methods, which I would think are generally consistent with large-scale surveys in other places. We at the Statistics Bureau of Rocky Open Sea follow their methods quite closely.)

The social right may be loud (bloody loud!), but it's not as numerous as Falwell, Phelps, Ashcroft et al. would have us believe. And we in the ROS reject imperialist notions of universal social mores.

Jesus being the Word of God, God, and God in the flesh. Since the Bible is the Word of God, then the entire Bible is God Himself talking to us.
"John 1:1-2"
"John 1:14"
"2Timothy 3:16-17"

God only wants man to have one wife. Not wives. Man decided he couldn't sleep with just one, not God.
"Genesis 2:23-24"

God does want us to discipline our children for their own sake. But man's evil ways have some people abusing children.
"Proverbs 23:13"
"Proverbs 29:15"
"Proverbs 29:17"

As for those who will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Why a true Christian tries not to judge other people, but tries to show them the love of God.
"1 Corinthians 6:11"
"Matthew 28:18-20"

Your random quotes from the Bible do not tell you why they are there. Example:

"Engage"
"Number One in my ready room."
"I'm givin ya all shes got captain."

Those are quotes from StarTrek. But since you don't know why they were said, they don't make any sense. And like most people, who try to show that the Bible promotes violence, and strange customs, you quoted, all except two passages, from the Old Testament. The Old Testament is how God used the Jews to set the world up for the coming of Jesus Christ. To show the world, no matter how much God shows us love, protects us, causes us to prosper, blesses us, we are still unwilling to submit to Him totally, and live according to His will. Even as Christians, we sin daily. It only takes one wayward thought. Now try to grasp this. Jesus NEVER sinned. Not in action, inaction, words, thoughts, or in His heart. But, He died for the sins of the entire world, just so we could have a chance to live in peace, never wanting or needing anything, for ETERNITY. No one deserves it. His life was a gift to us, from God Himself.

The nation of Millsocrates believes firmly in the rights of the individual to lead their own life and to make their own decisions. One's choice to participate in homosexual activity with another consenting person in no way infringes upon the rights of others. This, ultimately, is the litmus test for outlawing anything; if by doing something, one prevents others from exercising their natural rights, then the action in question should be outlawed; however, if it does not prevent others from exercising their rights, it should not be outlawed. Having others conform to your values is not a natural right of any human, and any attempt to treat it as such will be regarded with the full scorn and disgust of Millsocrates.

NO it is forceing us to accept everyone even if those people are scandelizing our children and going against what is known as right.

So in other words... tolerance means just what it says.

You're out of your mind...What gives you the right to tell someone who you probally don't know that they can't love who the want to? Also how are they "scandelizing" our children? It's been found that gay perents raise better children then straight ones. I'm not gay in any way but what I'm trying to say is that you can't hate someone becuase you think their choice of who they love is wrong. Also how do you know what is know as right? Let me guess God says so?

thats a load a bull gay children ratio have a larger percentila of sucides than of normal marriages. and why are you bringing love into this this has nothing to do with love. And gay marriages is against what is natural. humans "evolved" or what ever with two distinct sexes for a reason.

On page 14 of the UN proposal there is a new one to ban homosexuality. All states which believe in natural law and decency are urged to support it in the fact of a socialist/liberal onslaught on family life!!

Support the proposal to bring back family values and re-assert hetrosexuality as the mainstay of a healthy country ONCE AND FOR ALL!

There should be a Proposal to ban homophobia...

We totally agree with your stance on banning the sickening and disgusting practice of homosexuality. Our goverment has wired our delegation and we will support the proposal. Further more, under the threat of armed conflict no nation shall impose sanction on any nation that supports such a resolution.

I impose santctions on you.

I'm expecting a cowardly reply any second now...

You're bothering me much more than any homosexual ever has, it only seems logical that you are suggesting we send you to a special territory too.

That's...intensely stupid. First off, are those suicides from kids with gay parents, or those who are just gay? I smell someone who doesn't know statistics. Do cite your sources, if you have them (I won't hold my breath). Homosexuals have higher rates of suicide because of prejudiced people like you.

Homosexuality has nothing to do with love? I suppose it's all about horribly depraved, sinful sex, huh? And don't bring evolution into this, that point was flayed and hung out to dry a long time ago. It's only worth acknowledging to shut up the ignorant.

We would have to secularize all our nations as well to truly ban homosexuality, because we'd still have homosexual sex as long as the Catholic Church is within our borders, so we'd best start with banning Catholicism if we're going to get anywhere with making barbarous and inhuman laws.

This bill has the same number of approvals as there are brain cells in the person who drafted in.

About homosexuals not being natural because humans are evolved to mate with the opposite sex is not really true. We see homosexual activity in most mammals. Of course, scientists believe that these activity are a sort of play for adolescent mammals to prepare them for adult hetero-sex.
Homosexuality would not exist if it did not evolve, because all behaviour is evolved. Scientific fact that is.
Perhaps homosexuality is a different adaptive strategy. Perhaps gay men (who tend to be more successful at their line of work) evolve a non-dependent lifestyle that women ultimately find attractive. Women become close to gay men, and when they get stoned or drunk on some random occassion, the two have sex and the gay man has offspring.
As for lesbians, it's a universal truth that lesbianism is sexy. The moment a woman steps away from lesbians, several men will be waiting to leap into her bed. Besides, now a day women don't even need men to reproduce. They can just go to sperm banks, meaning that heterosex is no longer needed for the woman to produce offspring. And why would a woman stay with a man as opposed to a woman, when men are more like spouse abuser, rapists and serial killers?
Another possible way homosexuality may work is kin selection. PErhaps gay people become successful on their business so that they can spend money on relatives. Afterall, a sibling is just as related to you as a child so it may be a successful strategy to use your sibling to keep the gene line going while earning lots of money and happiness for yourself without the worry of raising a family.
