I'm not sure it's gotten visceral....yet :chuckle:Kind of interesting .... the visceral responses this issue evokes. I don't quite understand it...but your explanation seems valid.

This is what I think is at the heart of the issue. I think they have stunted sexual maturity level (the vast majority).
That is the natural desire so of course it should be so, and the other should be foreign. But I do believe there is a lot of nurture going on too, especially if your mother and father loved one another well in front of you.

I may close it if it does. The purpose is to show how strongly heterosexual most of us are, and that queers are just that, unusual.
I wonder, are many embarrassed to state factually the experience of heterosexuality?
God's greatest gift to man, the soul, yes, although that is what make us men(human)
God's greatest gift to man in nature is the love between a man and a woman. This is what becomes much of the commands: the BIG TEN, Adultery, do not Covet, your neighbor's wife.
God did not see His creation so twisted to command, do not commit homosexuality; it was too stupid, in the beginning.

We all know the theological/ scriptural reasons why homosexuality is sinful; it would be repetitious to start another thread on that topic from that perspective.
What about your own personal feelings?
For me, the idea of same sex attractions seems only understandable in the abstract. I mean to say, I always liked women as friends, share many same interests, but sexual attraction seems hard to comprehend. It feels naturally repulsive, not the fondness, but the physical encounter. I see no way anyone can socially condition me to have the same feeling towards women as I have, since about age 12, for boys/men.
I do not think it can be indoctrinated anymore than I could be trained to bay at the moon?
When I was young, homosexuals were called queer, which means odd, or abnormal, funny-odd. The British called them faggots, and cigarettes fags; later, faggot was the more familiar term in the USA, as well, more derogatory.
I cannot believe that this odd nature is not caused by a genetic, or abnormal biological components.
My reason for posting this is because I feel drowned out by the extremes of other posts on this topic, or it is well discussed as a religious topic.
I post this here so anyone may respond with their persona; view. Let’s leave the obvious religious aspect for a thread aimed at that frame of discussion. I also ask to leave the hard hateful responses to be left in he long-standing thread.
How you personally feel about homosexuality?
OK, I feel personally stronger about sex, and my aim in the thread is more secular, as we all know the religious position.Live and let live.
And let me eat shellfish at Red Lobster,
Are you saying 'mos can't be bros?For lesbians there is a bond of family from a social aspect, they are sisters. But for guys, not so much.
I'm indifferent to what consenting adults do behind closed doors. Nor do I feel homosexuality is contagious, meaning it's not going to be passed on to their kids if they have children by adoption.

Sorry, NO amount of pro-homosexual sex education would have made me queer! Not possible, just would not work. Think what you want, I know how I feel. I LIKE MEN!
Are you saying 'mos can't be bros?
Guys don't tend to bond like women do. For many lesbians their family has rejected or disapproved of them so they bond with other women (other than their SO) as if they were sisters.
I can see that you're extremely ignorant on the subject (but since you made the ridiculous post about not caring what consenting adults do, that goes without saying).
Males that are sexually abused often times bond with someone of the same sex as well. Those that don't have a dominant father figure in their life will seek out male companionship, looking for that bond that they're missing in their life, a bond which often times turns sexual, especially if the mentor is a homosexual pedophile/pederast.
You admitted in a latter post that your parents loved one another, hence you came from a loving home. Many of these children come from broken homes.
On a side note: I've always gotten the impression that you're some kind of clinical psychologist or perhaps a social worker. Could you tell us a little about your professional background?
Connie, you don't even know what bisexuality is so it's a complete laugh for you to call somebody else 'ignorant'...
I know about clinical psychology; however a forensic psychologist testifies for the court, in other words, speaks for the people as expert testimony, not the defendant.
I have not anything in common with a social worker! I am more a lawyer than any other profession, although I did work longest for the state of Texas as forensic psychologist.
As to your statement, i will admit I have seen the worst, i mean the absolute worst! I do agree the worst imaginable might have made me a criminal, but never a woman kisser, of you get my drift?
Agree with you on not closeable. Not indifferent, mainly as it conflicts with my religious beliefs. It also conflicts with my nature as a person.My personal feelings about homosexuality is that it's certainly not something I could 'choose' for myself. Not possible. Other than that I'm indifferent to it as what consenting adults do in private is their own business, regardless of how some would like it to be theirs...
