On Homosexuals
I have always wondered if homosexuals are born as such, or if through life experiences and choice… they become gay. Perhaps, both? I do not know, but I would like to share with you my view on the subject. It has been known throughout centuries that homosexuals have always been around, maybe since the beginning of man. Boy lovers in ancient Athens ran rampant, even Socrates himself was accused of being homosexual and was charged for perverting youths. Heck, homosexual behavior has been observed in several mammals, primates being no exception. Some of those chimps really go at it! Male to male attraction or female to female attraction has always perplexed me. We were designed by God (or evolution, depending your taste) to be a plug (man) and socket (female) combination. Anatomically, you have no need to look any further, men are designed for women and vice-versa, it isn’t as complicated as the Dirac Equation or Lev Landau’s superfluidity work (don’t ask)! Structurally, our sex organs and reproductive systems guarantee the propagation of the human race only in a male-to-female pairing. This is, to me, how nature always intended it. When push comes to shove, be it a successful life or a mediocre one, the one thing we share with most other humans is the ability to reproduce and to leave progeny on earth. Of course, it is not always this way but that is usually how it is and the main idea… wether we realize it or not is irrelevant. We just fuse DNA (egg+sperm) and out comes the next generation.
If we analyze a male-to-male pairing or a female-to-female pairing, we would arrive to the conclusion that these combinations do not function in the reproduction, propagation, and survival of the human species. It sounds harsh, but a two plug combination or a two socket combination… is not what nature intended. If all the peoples of the world became homosexual, our species would be in big trouble. There is a possibility that we would cease to exist, or reproduction would become a “burden”. Just to be clear, I am not implying that homosexuals contribute nothing to humanity. There are many great people with great hearts and charisma, who help and contribute to society in countless ways. I do believe everyone is entitled to live life as they want, personal lives are private and to each his own. Most of the time, I care not for how people decide to live, as long as they do not affect or interfere in my own life.
However, one can always be curious as to why people adopt a homosexual lifestyle. Perhaps, a gene sequence in people’s genome is faulty, implying a genetic disease. It is a possibility that we cannot rule out and it kind of makes sense, especially with cases when the child exhibits homosexual characteristics from early on. There is a lot of controversy regarding this theory as correlated twin studies (one twin being homo and the other hetero) discredit this approach. Still, I believe that even twin DNA can vary ever so slightly, expressing different genes. We still have so much to learn about our 3 billion base pairs in our DNA, full of genes and “junk”. Another approach to answer why people adopt a homosexual lifestyle involves choice. It is a much easier concept, people of the same sex find each other attractive and choose to be together. Maybe they were not ‘born’ gay but they, at some point in their lives, feel an inexorable attraction to the same sex. Sexual activity between said individuals only adds to their attraction and feeling of love. For instance, a male gay couple will get addicted to stimulation of their prostate and so on. We all can get addicted to some sort of physical stimulation but in my view, as a man, nothing can replace the pleasure a woman can give you. Most men (and women) out there will agree with me, but not gay couples, and that is understandable. Lesbians, I regard in a different light, this being so because no man can truly understand the female anatomy as well as another woman. Lately, the world has become more liberal and the gay community has risen to get things like gay marriage laws to be passed. I know I said that everyone is entitled to whatever life they want, but I am divided on this issue. If all the states allow gay marriage, it would fuel an upsurge and many will come out of the closet… gay numbers may increase. This is just one scenario, mind you, I am no expert on such things. Gay people on the same terms as heterosexual couples is not something I agree in, to tell you the truth. Moreover, in the decades to come, if more and more gay couples are seen in public holding hands and/or kissing, what are little children to think? Would they assume that homosexual behavior is normal? Would those children be inclined to follow such lifestyle if they see it all over? We function on a monkey-see/monkey-do basis much of the time, and I can almost be sure that precisely that will happen. In the end, it is a deviation from our intended design, giving over to physical lust. Allowing gay couples to adopt is also something I do not agree with, but that is just me. I know there are gay couples with great honesty and integrity that should be able to adopt, but as it is in this world, some ruin it for the rest. Mine is only but a mere view on such topic. What do you guys think on these topics?

Colin,
That is incredible! After voting on the issue twice, and winning by a landslide, those politicians keep putting it on the ballot?!
I was unaware of all this going on in California, but I am now speechless…
I like how you put that you hate the sin not the sinner, I agree with you in totality. I try to be more politically correct regarding this topic, but lately I have become less tolerant. Take for instance, the military… is it okay to have rainbow flags along with USA flags on our tanks in Afghanistan and Iraq?! Should homosexuals be allowed in our armed forces?!
That requires another blog… =/

The homosexual community, and supporting politicians at large are subtly imposing their will on the public in many ways. I’m certain that everyone is familiar with Proposition 8 which was on the California ballot in 2008. But did you know the rest of the story?
It started way back in 2002, when there was another proposition on the ballot seeking to legalize gay marriage in California. Overwhelmingly, the people of California voted down the proposition in a landslide, 62% – 38% in favor of traditional marriage (Marriage defined as only between a man and a woman).
California offers homosexual couples what is called a “domestic partnership”. In a domestic partnership, couples are entitled to tax benefits, property and real estate discounts; every single benefit that is extended to a husband and wife, are also extended to homosexual couples under domestic partnerships. The only difference – it is not called a “marriage”, it is called a “domestic partnership.” It can be done at the courthouse, but most churches will not perform a domestic partnership, but the only significant difference is the title.
There must be some who feel that title means a great deal more than the benefits, because late in 2007 or early 2008 (I can’t remember), 5 judges on the CA state supreme court in San Francisco decided the vote of 2002, (in which over 60% of California voters voted to protect traditional marriage between a man and a woman), was unconstitutional. Ironically, which would you say is more unconstitutional? The citizens deciding for themselves what they want, or 5 elite politicians deciding for the majority of the citizens what they want?
Talk about imposing your will, just like that, at the whim of 5 politicians and without a popular vote, gay marriage became legal in California.
When it was put back on the ballot in November of 2008, once again the majority of California citizens voted that marriage is only between a man and a woman, and gay marriage was done away with (although domestic partnerships are still in place).
Talk about imposing your will, even though it has now been voted on TWICE by CA voters that marriage is only between a man and a woman, there are still those who are trying to push gay marriage on to the citizens, seeking to put it back on the ballot, or even better for them, just circumvent the ballot again altogether.
In addition to this, there are several things which gay marriage activists, mainstream media, and most politicians will not tell you about homosexuality and gay marriage. For starters, “gay marriage”, or what some would call a “monogomous relationship”, is seldom monogomous in any sense of the word, for the majority of those in the gay community (I know, several acquaintences and friends of mine are). They claim they are committed to eachother only, but there are usually (not always, but in most cases), several other people coming in and out of the relationship, sharing sexual experiences with the couple. What this leads to is an extremely high concentration of those infected with STD’s and HIV/AIDS within the gay community. In fact, something like 85 – 90 % of all HIV and AIDS cases within the U.S.A. are from within the gay community. Of course, though, these are things you will not hear from the majority of gay activists and mainstream media.
At the risk of being labeled a politically incorrect, Bible-thumping neanderthal, I confidently say that according to the word of God, homosexuality is a perverse, unnatural, sexual sin.
But at the same time, that doesn’t make it any worse than any sin that you or I have commited. If you’ve broken just 1 out of the 613 commandments of God, you’ve broken them all.
Just saying that homosexuality is a sin has caused some people to label me as a biggot. But what most people don’t realize is I hate the sin, NOT the sinner. The people who have engaged in same-sex activity are still people I love, and would welcome as my brothers and sisters. But at the same time, I would encourage them to leave behind the lifestyle of sin they are living in. Encouraging in the same manner Jesus encouraged the woman caught in adultery. “I do not condemn you. Go and sin no more.” Hate the sin, but love the sinner. John 3:16 – God so loved the WORLD….and that includes homosexuals too. God loves these people, but He hates their sin. God cannot and will not accept homosexuality, but if you turn to Him through His Son Jesus Christ, and recognize that the blood Christ shed on the cross was for you – to wash you clean from your sins; repent, and then God will forgive you, and call you to himself as a child whom He loves.
Undoubtedly, someone will eventually make the statement on this blog that gays cannot help it, they are born that way. Well, if anyone wants to make that argument with me, I have 2 simple questions for you – #1 Is a supposed “predisposition” the same as a destiny written in stone in your mind? #2 – If a person is born gay, then how do you explain the large number of FORMER homosexuals? I also know several people who were involved in homosexual activity and were a part of the gay community, but later recognized that it is unnatural and wrong, and are now no longer in that lifestyle. But if it’s something they are born with, and not a choice, then how do you account for that?
Oscar, the plethera of topics on this blogsite gives no shortage of opportunities for anyone to express their views. Thank you for that.
And may God bless you all!

Lol! Yeah Rishi, as long as they don’t impose their will on us, it is all groovy! I do remember reading and commenting on one of your blogs and noticed we shared that in common.

You approach this topic from the same light I do in the sense that humanity would not survive if homosexuals ruled the world (lack of reproduction). And, also as you said, I don’t mind them as long as they don’t impose their will on me.

I agree with you, Sum. The Bible explicitly says God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve or Eve and Evette. It has always been a controversial topic, with no clear end.

why is the sight not excepting my comments is it your sight or my computer?

I believe in what the bible tells me about a man and a women being a normal way to start a family. God began the world with Adam and eve not Adam and Steve. It dose mention that God burned down a whole citey because they were sleeping with the same sex and that is not seen as normal but an abomination to God.
