I am strongly attracted to alcohol and other mood altering substances. However, I choose not to use them because the payoff of short term ecstasy is long term discomfort. I control my innate urges or cravings because it is the right thing to do. I want to have sex with all sorts of women but I choose not to because I am married and I have responsibility. If I choose to be irresponsible in one or more areas of my life then I am choosing to be selfish. Humans have a will to choose what is right. I cannot judge someone's soul but I can evaluate their behavior. Read my posts in this thread again. My message is, if you are going to make a choice do not blame others for it.

I think it's time YOU man up. I can watch hardcore lesbian porn whilst eating fish without cringing, and yet I've to deal with loads of "manly" heterosexual men who turn to whiny bitches the moment they see two men kissing. Sure, you don't have to like it, but it's not the end of the world. Get over it, different people like different things. Some people like to eat semi-solidified rotten milk, AKA, cheese . I really don't get that, it's disgusting, and so I look the other way. I guess that's to hard for you? Read my response to skinnay above. To refresh your memory, I entered this thread with an explanatory statement of Classical/Freudian Psychology. All the rest of this emotional display, blaming and name calling is coming from your tribe. You are the ones in distress with your behavior choices not me. I do not care. I observe and comment. If you want to live free of the emotional discomfort, you have to take full responsibility for your feelings and work on yourself. Projecting the cause of your feelings outside yourself, to society, rednecks, mean people, etc., only exacerbates your misery. Again I say, MAN UP.

Consider it an essay question. For example: I am homosexual because _______________. Fill in the blank with an explanation of the payoff you receive for your behavior choice. Do not cop out with excuses for your behavior choice. My personal example: I am a Christian because I actually feel a sense of security knowing I have life assurance in Jesus Christ. I was not born that way I chose that path after an extended period of personal loss and emotional trauma. I am able to find solace and direction to the problems in my life through prayer, fasting and studying the Holy Bible. I can fellowship easily with others who share similar experiences. I feel victorious. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Irresponsible procreation by heterosexuals does not benefit society either; actually, it is often harmful to society. We're not exactly experiencing an underpopulation crisis. And some same-sex couples do benefit society by adopting unwanted children (often produced by irresponsible heterosexuals) and raising them in loving homes. No argument from me here.

And I state once again, it does not matter to me what someone's sexual orientation is. They make their choices in life the same as everyone, including me. I would just like to see queers take full responsibility for their behavior and quit claiming victimization and demanding special treatment. Just man up...oh, I guess that is the root of the controversy. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

[email] Homosexuality is identified in numerous species of animals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior If that's not enough, there's the Bonobo which is a species consisting of hyper sexual bisexuals. About Bonobo sexuality: But even if it is unnatural, what is the big problem? Our lifes consist of unnatural things I am only referring to humans who have the ability to choose when, where and with whom. In other words, humans have sexual control.

Did you mean You made personal choices. In retrospect you never answered my question from several months ago.

I don't know how the Florida Blood Service views lesbianism. There is no qualifying question on the interview questionnaire in that regard. I realize that some males view lesbian encounters as stimulating. From my point of view it is boring. As a side note, the last HIV/AIDS education I attended focused on heterosexual Blacks as the most active group for the spread of the disease.

Whenever I donate blood one of the questions I am asked is, "Have you ever had sex with a man, even once?" I don't know what happens if you answer yes. If you answer in the affirmative to ingesting aspirin your donation is not accepted. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

How old were you when you decided not to be a homosexual? I hear that retort often and I admit it is catchy. Here is the point. Human beings control their sexual activities. It is normal and natural for a male to seek sexual congress with a female. It does not require a decision. It is normal and natural development. If a male seeks sexual congress with another male it is not normal and natural. Such behavior requires a rational decision process. Now if a homosexual is truly born with abnormal and unnatural desires, isn't it the responsibility of society to help him get treatment? Homosexuality tends to ruin professional careers when it is discovered. It effects the status of a blood donor. It does not procreate. The behavior does not benefit society. Society is ready and willing to provide treatment for congenital birth defects, ADD and ADHD, autism, schizophrenia and other maladies. Why should homosexuality receive special exemption? To the other lurkers, I have no vested interest in your sex life. I don't care who or what you have sex with. The exception is children under the legal age of consent. The latter opens a big problem area with Muslims but that is another topic. In my counseling career I had three clients that were homosexual and wanted to change. I had one desiring psychiatric admission to deal with his sorrow at the loss of his boyfriend. The unknown number of others did not discuss their homosexuality. Professional ethics in counseling require the client to determine the issues to be dealt with not the counselor. Psychiatrists diagnose, counselors guide.

Classic homosexuality, males, is considered the result of choices made when raised by a weak or absent father and a strong dominant mother or mother figure. I never have understood the phobia aspect.

Debate and discussion are boring. Only the emotionally aggressive personal attacks and character assassinations inspired by the left wing socialistic liberal, irresponsible, pantywaists of the give me generation provide therapeutic enjoyment and release.
