Unity of core values is important for any nation. A divided nation is a weak nation, a divided nation is unable to fend of foreign threats. Eventually, the US should split and quite possibly will split into two because of a growing division between progressive liberalism in democratic states and religious conservatism in republican states.

I know for a fact I don't want to live in a world where marriage and family is a free-for-all. All cultures share sameness in certain practices, customs, norms, and beliefs. When these values and practices start to clash, people start to divide. 

With that said, the United States were and is a Christian state. It has always been a Christian state since the missionaries first erected colonies across the lands. Without Christianity, the lands would still be divided by tribal warfare and barbarism. The technological advances made over the centuries are owed to the Christian culture. It's not about Christianity as a religion, it has to do with Christianity as a culture. This culture has always rejected homosexuality and is responsible for creating the most prosperous and advanced civilizations of all time. 

I don't want to live or raise my children in a debaucherous society. I believe in family, and monagomy. Just as we were designed to live.

I am reposting what I wrote earlier in response to this classic gay-rights response.

"You look at the design of the human body and you will come to the conclusion it was only meant to engage in intercourse with another sexually-mature female. The anus is not designed to handle penetration. It ruptures easily and can develop polyps. Same thing with oral sex, studies show a link between oral sex and increased risk of mouth and  throat cancer. This leads a rational person to conclude that the sexual union between a man and a man is unnatural. Same principle with women, only behavior leading to procreation is natural by virtue of our biological design"

In other words, homosexuality violates the design of our bodies and the way we were meant to live.

I don't appreciate "hints" when I possess 2 masters degrees and a law degree. Also, the fact that you labeled the dissidents of gay rights as haters is pathetic. Disagreement = hate. Right?

Sorry, dude but that's not true. There is no way to determine whether he was straight, gay or bi. I'm a classist, doing a phd and the Symposium (means "the banquet") is part of my research. Seems to me that you haven't read it. Basically in the dialogue there are 7 main speakers, one of which is Socrates and only one of the seven talks about men being born with two heads, four arms etc and being split into two and seeking their other half their entire lives. There's no indication which speaker Plato agrees the most with. No serious scholar has writen any articles on Plato being bi or whatever. That would be nothing but speculation. Even if we assume that Socrates expresses Plato's views, in this dialogue, Socrates does not talk about love between men or women specifically. He talks mostly about love between men and women (with only a few ambiguous passages). 

Also, another misconception is that homosexulity was acceptable in Greece or Rome around 5th-1st cBC. It wasn't. Only certain types were acceptable and everything else heavily criticized. I'm not gonna go into detail, as I don't know if anyone wants to hear about it. Just wanted to point out that that's a common misconception.

As for the topic, Spurge was specific. If you disagree with homosexuality, stay out of this thread. Not sure if certain people here have bad comprehension skills or simply can't help themselves. If it's the latter, then they need to get some professional help, as it seriously doesn't affect their lives, but their words and actions affect those of others. Such hatred is misplaced and should thus not exist.

Anyway. To answer the question, it's definitely not evolution as many people rightly pointed out, but it does seem to me to be an anomaly. And I don't say that in a disrespectful way (I'm gay myself). It's just outside the norm along with so many other things in  life. We're all different in a way; it's just that we focus on some things that are different over other things. Some people are lactose intolerant, some others have insanely good memory, others incredibly good/fast metabolism. I think all these are anomalies (i.e. ouside the norm), but so what?

As for the argument about the "unbiased" "majority" thinking that homosexuality is bad, digusting, etc, the same thing could have been said about the majority of people 50 years ago and their feelings towards interacial couples, women voting/having equal rights and so on. The majority didn't like Black people for being black and I'm sure they felt unbiased, but that didn't make them any less wrong.  

Don't give me any hints! I'm more educated and sophisticated than you. You look at the design of the human body and you will come to the conclusion it was only meant to engage in intercourse with another sexually-mature female. The anus is not designed to handle penetration. It ruptures easily and can develop polyps. Same thing with oral sex, studies show a link between oral sex and increased risk of mouth and  throat cancer. This leads a rational person to conclude that the sexual union between a man and a man is unnatural. Same principle with women, only behavior leading to procreation is natural by virtue of our biological design.

First you say gay people are the same as rapist don't you see how dumb that is? second the vast majority of pedophiliacs relationships are kids being abused by their relatives if you to blind to see the difference between those and two adult agreeing to have sex go argue with someone else. That's not double standard that's freaking common sense and finally who the fuck lives in fear of gays do you think you can attract gayness or what

Didn't you know gay rights is equted as civil rights? What do you think the next civil rights cause will be after gay rights? Do you think people will stop advocating for groups of people with historically oppressed interests? It's either the rights of pedophiles, bigamists, or other sexual deviants that will be the next focus.

Progressive liberalism is the single greatest threat to Western civilization, not radical islamism.
