| Okie, I've GOT to reply to some of this stuff.
To make it easy on Sumo, all of my comments will appear like: **text**
>>because the bible says so?

>Don't get me started. Suffice to say, that's a very silly reason.
** I've seen enough interpretations of the bible that both comdemn and support homosexuality. Let's not go there. **
>>because you say so?

>That must be. Because the Penguin dictates all that is and is not natural.
** Does that mean that Sumo Penguin is god? I don't recall hearing about THAT in Sunday School... **
>>because we've obviously evolved into 2 sexes for a reason?

>Depending on how you look at things, there aren't just two sexes. Thanks to surgery and nature in general, one could validly argue that there are up to five sexes, or three at the very least. With that in mind, it's absolutely impossible for everyone to be heterosexual.
** I couldn't have put it better, myself. **
<soapbox>Unnatural? Pshaw. Being gay is just as natural as having brown hair or big feet. Some people just are.
** Exactly! Anybody who says that being gay is a choice is an IDIOT. Who the fu## would chose to be hated by mega-portions of society based on who you love? **
Thanks, however, to Leviticus (or was it Numbers? I forget) and jackasses like the Penguin, some people live their whole lives in fear of people finding out their true selves. It's as absurd as shaving your head your whole life just so people won't find out your hair is brown.
** Correct, but unfortunately, people are forced 'into the closet' because of jackasses who tell us that we are wrong for being born a certain way. **
Kudos to gaygeek for not only telling everyone who he is, but being proud of it and not backing down when being attacked so blatantly like he was today.
** I appreciate the words of encouragement and support. To paraphrase the immortal words of Joe Canadian (from the beer commercials): My name is Bill, and I am a gay geek! **
Maybe someday the Penguin and all like him will vanish, and everyone can be happy - it's not likely, but it's a wonderful dream.</soapbox>
** That's a dream I share in. However, as long as people are different, people like the Penguin will use those differences as reasons to attack, belittle, and de-value others just to make themselves feel better. ** |
