Why is homosexuality "bad" to some people?

[JSojourner]

It's the plumbing thing, no doubt in my mind, that fuels the phobe.

Yet many people 'plumb' (yes, that way) their own wife.

True, but well, I stand by what I wrote. No one claimed the human mind is seamlessly logical.

You're both right.

It's a simple double-standard.  Sodomy is perfectly acceptible to 95% of anti-Gay people, as long as it's committed with one's spouse. 

Its also very much the 'new' thing to try to have the wife/girlfriend find the guy's prostate. Very few people will admit it, but you often get the missus let it slip.

Mrs. Wilma Fingerdoo is in complete agreement.

But be careful... Mrs. Hu Flung Pu can get a little carried away sometimes.

This is funny you guys are saying stuff that is really true but you seem to be repeating eachother. he he.

Well, I am not asking you what you believe or whether you think its bad to be gay. All I am asking is what you think the source of homophobia is.

They say it's God's will and have convinced themselves they truly believe it.  But it's number one, actually. 

Look, I am very open and take a live and let live approach to people and their sexuality.  But the thought of two dudes french kissing makes me nauseous.  Is that homophobia?  No way.  It's heterosexuality.  And it's probably how a lot of gay men view the thought of a man and a woman french kissing.

Of course, if it's two hot women french kissing...all bets are off.  That's just a thing of beauty.

I wonder why that's so. I heard that women don't like watching gay men, which catches me as kind of odd. I wonder why it's God's will.  Is the universe God's toybox or dice table?

Homosexuality is frowned upon for the same reason that group sex or onanism was once frowned upon.  It's simply not productive.

So, you probably put down that "if there's two men, then where's the vagina?" or "Simple".

I think the original poster just wanted to start a thread with the word "buttsex" in it.  ;-)

hmmm may be ye never know.

Buttsex is the most over rated of all sex.


mmm

You're right, it is fun to type buttsex.

How would you know?

No...wait...there's no answer that isn't going to gross somebody out here.

At the Green Mill restaurant, they have what is called a "butt steak"

I couldn't order that with a straight face...

"Yeah, I'll take the butt steak.. could you put a little maitre 'd butter on that please?"

[AkSaber]

I think the most common reason is cause of religion. Someone's religion most certainly affects his personal preferences.

But to say that religion is the only reason, I think is incorrect. There have to be many reasons out there. I was raised being taught that homosexuality was "bad" by people who believed what they taught. When I grew older that stuff didn't change me. The thought of falling in love with a guy or having sex with a guy doesn't make me sick. Those things really don't bother me. Now people who are put-off by that, that doesn't bother me either. It's just the way they are.

I can only imagine how bad it would be to be a catcher, but I was specifically referring to pitching as being over rated.

[ottermax]

I can't understand why people think it is bad. People just need to get over it. I used to think is was kind of gross, but it's a person's heart you're dealing with.

That's how it worked for me, though I was really disgusted with the "gay" thing as a teenager.

No...well that...but something else... I talked to my brother about this topic while we were looking at a fake ad for an energy drink for homosexuals.

1, 2, and 5 mixed, I'd say - certain sex acts and 'ghey' culture are affronts to what is considered 'masculine' by most men (and have an 'ick' factor), and religion is something a lot of people take very, very seriously.

Concerning male homosexuality:

Homophobia is used so loosely. Instead of being used for what it actually means, it has become a derogatory term used for those who don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle.

Homosexual attraction is disordered. What is normal and natural is for a man to be attracted to women and vice-versa, which is obviously intrinsically linked with procreation. The sexual revolution of the 60s attempted to legitimize homosexual behavior as simply a different lifestyle. Perhaps groups were hostile with male homosexuals, because they dealt with them as they were in the past historically-- straight men who were sexually promiscuous. They neglected to deal with it as it was at that time-- authentically homosexaully-oriented men, due to problems in the childhood. Ask any homosexual man-- generally speaking, they do not have great relationships with their fathers. This is the cause of the problem.

Many of you will likely say, "the APA disagrees". Yes, of course. I have learned not to trust most of what the APA says. Up until the early 70s, what I said above was the opinion of the APA. During one conference, the entire views of the APA changed. Why? The board was replaced by homosexual or homosexual-friendly psychologists. It was essentially hijacked. Most of the data used to justify homosexuality was hogwash. None of the studies were done properly. It was, and has become, a huge mess.

Homosexuality is a huge problem, as the entire lifestyle is unhealthy physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Homosexual men are more likely to have a promiscuous lifestyle, die earlier in life, and to have severe psychological problems. It's time that the APA takes a look at reality and find a solution for this problem. These people need help, and instead of helping, the APA is making it worse. More men-- often very young-- will die, and live very unsatisfying lives.

The original question is not of very great interest to me, as one would never have any personal time if one started to try to explain the workings of the minds of the stupid in the herd.  But suffice to to say that they all think alike because they cannot do otherwise.

Regarding the most interesting question in this thread flamers are the only kind of homosexual I like, if you know what I mean.

Right, it's all a conspiracy. It happened instantly and with nobody having presented any studies prior to that point in which homosexuals did not display pathological problems. It's all part of the insideous GAY AGENDA!

Could you explain to me why then most of the homosexuals I've met are physically healthy, emotionally happy and stable, in rather stable relationships, and quite satisfied with their lives? Hell, as far as physically healthy goes a lot of the ones I've seen tend to look healthier on average than the straight ones I've met - less problems with obesity and whatnot.

Option three, of course.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I imagine that if any homosexuals are unsatisfied with their lives, it's because they have been living in fear of gay-bashers.

     Also, if we are to assume that it's a lifestyle & nothing more (no gay person I have ever met would agree with that), it's no more of a problem than drinking alcohol. In both cases, a person is making a choice that can adversely affect his/her life. It's that person's body; s/he can do whatever s/he wants with it provided that s/he isn't harming anyone else. In that respect, homosexuality is less of a threat to society than alcohol.

By drinking Alcohol you are hurting your body each time you do it. How is that and being gay the same? How are you hurting yourself?

     I was responding to Brambila's suggestion that homosexuality is self-destructive. I just didn't feel like quoting the whole diatribe to make two points about it. Not to mention that the direction of the topic had changed to respond to Brambila. I'll insert the quote though, just to avoid any future confusion.
