Being left handed isn’t normal.

Only 10% of the people are left handed.

Should we make sure we don’t indoctrinate kids into thinking left handedness is normal?

Having an extra digit on hands or feet isn’t normal.

Shall we make sure we don’t indoctrinate kids into believing it’s normal?

At least one of you has stated that even though homosexuality is not wrong it’s important to say it’s not normal because accuracy.

Well then…

Up to mid and late 19th century. After that… legal but scandalous.

I have no problem with Christian values being taught in public school in the same manner I have no problem with Muslim, Buddhist, pagan, or other value systems being taught.

Left handed isn’t normal…so are those with severe dyslexic either.

Again…it seems libs can’t determine the difference between acceptance and normal.

Why is that?

And yes…Sneak was right. Sneak was talking about acceptance what isn’t always normal.

Do you Jay understand that concept?

Bigotry of bigots? Bigception?

819

Neither do I…but is seems a certain group wants to teach their values without accepting other values.

Which group would that be - the one objecting to seeing gay couples comport themselves in public in the same manner as straight ones do?

821

I understand the concept.

What I’m waiting for is for someone to explain why it’s such a big deal to them

If it’s not wrong, why do you care that society at large brands it as normal?

They don’t go making a huge point in schools about how only a small portion of people are left handed. They just say some people are left handed.

Same way they teach about sexual orientation.

Why…is…it…a…big…deal?

Because its turning children into homosexers.

Why was giving women the right to vote a big deal?
Minorities the same rights as citizens?
Interracial couples the right to marry?

Because for the conservative white male, it is always about power. It’s all about their longstanding power over others in society and maintaining it by whatever means necessary. LGBTQ rights are just the latest in a long, sad line of examples where long mistreated groups in society have had to fight for every inch. It doesn’t matter that acknowledging these basic rights requires nothing from them other than a shred of empathy. Even that is asking too much.

Your opinions of progress are what’s questionable. As are mine, but we’re free to have those opinions.

And don’t tell me where to live. Your society and mine are vastly different. Heterosexuals PDAing or lewd behavior around kids isn’t socially acceptable. Why is it all of a sudden cool when homosexuals do it? That’s what makes gay pride parades stupid.

I know you’re being sarcastic but the reality is then population of LGBTQ is pretty much constant as a proportion of the total population.

Accepting it is not causing numbers of LGBTQ to dramatically increase.

826

Why do society need to brand something that isn’t normal normal? Why do you care? Why do libs care?

Unless you’re imposing your own morals on society. Never mind that fact that society is as diverse as ours.

So tell me…why are libs insisting that homosexuals are normal? Is it because they engage in that behavior and they have to tell themselves that it is…much like and alcoholic does?

Iv never been yelled at for kissing my wife in public.
My friend has been yelled at and threatened for kissing his husband in public.

828

Where is couples kissing in public not considered socially acceptable? It happens untold thousands of times a day all around the country with hardly an eye batted.

829

What do you call PDA’ing? I kiss my wife and cuddle and hold hands and whatever in public all the time. If that’s your idea of offensive behavior, I can’t agree with you.

Lewd behavior I can agree with you. To the degree that happens at pride parades I wish it wouldn’t.

But damning the entire LGBT because of it seems rather silly and smacks a little of rationalization of not liking them to begin with.

Is it acceptable for gay couples to engage in a level of PDA that you’d personally find acceptable for straights? Holding each others’ hands, for starters?

831

It’s branded as normal inasmuch as it’s an acceptable relationship pair to the small percentage of the population to whom it appeals.

Just like a left handed human being is a normal human being who happens to be part of the 10% that’s left handed.

Why does one not bother you and the other does?

Who is normal?

I’m a straight white guy. Is that normal? I’m also 6’7". That definitely isn’t normal.

There is no “normal” in a melting pot society filled with a variety of races, cultures, languages, and backgrounds.

That’s not true, lots of PDA is acceptable for hetero couples, let’s just make it simple and focus on holding hands.

The people who think homosexuality isn’t “normal” certainly do not view it the same.
