Is it wrong to be gay?

[blade_anime]

I think parents have a somewhat legitimate reason for being upset, because they may have been wanting grandchildren and are disappointed that you could be the last of your line, but, as you said, you could always adopt. Also, next time a girl comes up to you and says something like that? Ask her if she's volunteering.

I don't think parents should feel entitled to grandchildren. That's sort of admitting you view your children as property.

No one is entitled to anything. We didn't even earn our spot here on Earth; we just appeared and accepted it over the years. The desire for grandchildren is ultimately just a reflection of evolutionary greediness.

There is still the fact that it's not the same gene pool, and some do value such things enough for that to affect how they feel about losing chances of having genetically related grandchildren, whether they consider them an entitlement or not. Adoption won't put everyone at ease. So yeah, yet another dilemma in life that doesn't have a solution everyone will support.

Of course not. If it were ever denounced "WRONG" by generally anyone, they would be sending more of a message to everyone not gay than to the actually gay people. To say its wrong to be a certain way is to say that its wrong in someone else's view about everything else. Which is contradiction to the maximum level.

If I say that Black people are wrong, black people could think that white people are wrong. Its like religion in a way. Your beliefs will be true until another belief appears and then causes both beliefs to indefinitely be unprovable.

I never said that anybody was entitled to anything, I merely stated that one parents would want something. If you think there's no hope, then you should be posting in the thread about suicide instead.

I was referring to Kilroy's comment with the mention of "entitlement", since I was taking a brief look at other posts made recently as well. My post was not intended to come across as an expression of hopelessness: just a needless compulsion (my brain is cool) to insist that adoption is not a wholly desirable solution to maintaining a family line, due to still prevailing opinions on direct gene relation I'm certain still exist in the minds of some. That said, I fully support any couple adopting children if for whatever reason they cannot/will not sire their own.

Every time I've read about asexuality I've found stuff that has explained that it's so phenomenally rare as to be next-to-non-existent. If you are claiming you are asexual as an affectation or because of low sexual drives or simply because you want to side-step the issue of being placed into a gender role by society by allowing yourself to create your own unique gender role you should really consider just doing those things without claiming asexuality.

I'm confused as to why anyone is worried about the world's population going stagnant, do you have any idea how fast we are OVER-populating the world? there's a reason China installed the 1-Child Policy. Scientists are predicting that in the next 40 years, we need to produce as much food as in the last 8,000.

So I mean, us gays of the world are actually helping you out. If we had legally equal rights in adopting, we also might be helping out the millions of starving orphans worldwide.

Either way, this whole subject in hand will never have everyone "okay" with it. Many are just uncomfortable with people being gay, bi, whatever. People are always attempting to change viewpoints on subjects, or to completely shun or diss the whole entire group as a whole. Some do change viewpoints, but many simply do not. I see this as another endless debate that will never have everyone on the same boat, as many others have said here. Someone will ALWAYS have something to say, and there will be those who agree and disagree. That being said, we should just accept people as a whole and not focus on a specific thing about them (once again, as others have already said). Soo..... that's all I have to say. Essentially deal with it, not trying to sound like a prick or anything.

Back when I was really good I would go to the theatre and play ITG and It actually helped me get quite a few girls numbers.

All about appearance, and the impression you give people when they first see you.

You're 10 years old.

To answer the question at hand, just throwin' in my own thoughts to make my post legit, religions state that being gay is wrong and being gay really isn't 'natural' since the basic purpose of any living being is to reproduce (duh) and survive. And gays can't exactly do that. Except for women ofc (lol artificial insemination) which makes gay men useless in the 'struggle' (lol) for humans to live on. And spread like a virus some more.

But the thing is, we got this almighty 'power' called emotion that is stronger than any other animal's (IMO) and we're smart people and understanding people. More so at least than we were like 50 yrs ago, kay? So it's not entirely wrong to be gay as long as you don't flaunt it around and openly brag/talk about it. Cause seriously, no one gives a shit. Like no one gives a shit that you're a dude dating some skank you met at a bar or w/e.

Anyway, aside from my obv ranting, let gays be gays. It's none of my business, it's none of anyone's business. If you're happy being gay then whoopie! But we could really care less. The whole world doesn't have to know about it. Cause then religious nuts will come out of nowhere and condemn you and haters gon' hate like the douches they all are. Ain't gonna change overnight.

Kay bye CT

You're argument doesn't back up why it's exactly wrong to not be able to reproduce. Also please tell me how we have a purpose in life? Just because every one of us can reproduce doesn't mean it's our purpose. We wouldn't exist if nobody reproduced but again, why's it our "purpose" to keep the human race going? I personally believe we have no purpose, but that doesn't mean being alive is useless, it's all about perception. So in short I don't think your arguments about being gay is wrong holds no ground at all...

[L0NEvvolf]

For some it is how you are born, others have a choice. So is it wrong? I don't know, however I'm sticking to guys cause I could never picture myself with a female.

I advise that you read the text you go so far as to quote more closely. Nyokou was clearly lacking in support for the general "religious" arguments against homosexuality he touched upon, and seems apathetic to the "need" for increasing the human populace. Flaunting of homosexuality is all that seemed to be subject to disapproval in the post.

To express my own opinions on informing people of one's sexuality and how it is done, I also dislike "flaunters", if only because they give me the impression that they consider sexual orientation as far more important to the make-up of who someone is then I personally feel it ever ought to be. Effeminate/butch (insert gender here) behaviour, however, I'm perfectly fine with when it isn't forced to the point of garnering annoyance. Of course it helps that what few I know are, in my opinion, genuinely friendly and entertaining people.
