MrBubbles said: the president of gambia must realize this isnt a very good solution. like putting on a band aid after cutting your hand off. its not like he can cull them, since its not a genetic thing. it merely hides the "problem". i wonder how he wants to make stricter laws than in iran... as homosexuals in iran are likely to be raped and executed.
its an interesting situation when you look at it. homosexuality was rather common and accepted practice in africa prior to becoming colonies when laws were imposed regarding it. however much they like to talk about the throwing off of colonial rule, this attitude is generally something that sticks around in the former colonies. |
I always laugh at this idea. When will people come to the blatantly obvious realization that homosexuality is just like other tastes you have.
Most people like chocolate to varying degrees. Some people, like my brother, hate chocolate. To me his lack of choco-joyment is abnormal. Should he be chastised and beheaded due to his dislike of something that 95% of the world population likes? Maybe, but the fact remains that he was born that way. i.e. it is in his genetic code, that which defines EVERYTHING about us, to not have choco-joyment.
Same thing here. People are born with certain basic likes and dislikes. Sexuality is definitely controlled by genetics. It tells your body how to produce various hormones which have been proven many times to have a direct affect on you personality. Why do you think most gay men are better at fashion? It isn't a stereo type because it isn't mostly true.
Its genetic and an abnormality in the literal sense of the word, i.e. not normal. Is it wrong and should it be pushed out of our society? No. People have the GOD GIVEN right to decide the path in life they see fit. No where does any religious literature say we should punish this behavior. It does suggest that it is frowned upon, but anyone using religion to condemn these actions should actually follow their religious book's directions and do nothing. Let God be the judge.
Its not like homosexuals are the ones raping people or causing any mass crime beyond those horrible marches. Like we need to see grown men prancing around in butt-less pants.
