Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was you who said that homosexuality was "unnatural" or some other adjective, did you not? By that, you are basically saying that we are an abberation to nature's design, and have a dubious or human manufactured place in the universe.

" Are you serious? I doubt a truly enlightened person would say something like that. I'd expect a freeper to come out with bs like this."

Let me ask you something. How often do you ponder this subject? How many books have you read about the subject of homosexuality? How often do you tune into Oprah, Sally-Jessie, etc, watch documentaries, read psychological studies, biological/zoological research to get more informed into this subject matter that you are so audacious about that you deem yourself an authority on the subject?

"I spoke out because I wanted to test my beliefs to what other people thought. I
spoke out honestly and I get lots of invective. "


It's been my experience, that when someone makes a broad, sweeping judgement call as to whether or not we belong in "the grand scheme of things" that most have read, or studied VERY LITTLE of this particular subject matter, yet are flabberghasted and have the nerve to be insulted when people who are actually gay don't take them seriously. Can you now see why? In short, I don't think you have enough information to be making any statements when it concerns the natures of a group of people to which you do not belong, and haven't bothered to put forth any effort to understand us better.

I have lived for 38 years on this planet as a gay man. I have sought out every study, TV show, documentary, book, and scientific expert that I can get my hands on to understand who I am. I live every hour of every day as a gay man. Do you have the same amount of information to make such value judgments on people like me, who have nothing to do with you, and have no control over your happiness?

I am attacking what you think... You are making value judgements on WHO I AM. There's a big difference there Pal.
