Homosexuality is not natural and is not normality

I agree about Title , no shy .

for my opinion , homosex and lesbien is mental disease , just say an opinion ,no offend.

Fortunately there is nothing to substantiate your opinion. There's a much better argument for religion being a mental illness than there is for homosexuality being one.

I fail to see why such a personal thing as sexual inclinations should be considered a disease.

In which sense could that be true?

I suppose they do go against the grain of expectations of establishing traditional families, but by that token so would taking celibacy vows to become a priest. IMO, citizens simply have no duty to conform to those expectations.

Besides, it is not even clear that those expectations are to be encouraged in the first place - among other reasons, because they often lead to loads of unhappiness and no discernible benefit.

Lack of full acceptance of people's sexuality as it actually is, now that is a disease.

Except for sexual motivations or behavior that can cause actual damage (co-dependency, pedophilia, sadism, masochism), it seems clear to me that pretty much everything is fair game, as long as the people actually involved are honest and respectful with each other.

Norman: Hi LuisDantas, I personally do not believe that same sex attraction is a mental disease. I really do not know what causes it. I do not
personally believe that people are born that way, but I could be wrong. Good Post.

Is this something generally taught by the Church of Latter Day Saints?

Norman: Hi Tom, No, it is not taught by my Church, it is just my opinion. I am not trying to offend anyone. I don't believe that
anyone is born that way, however, I could be wrong, I don't know.

Are you trying to say that the Earth has infinite resources and infinite living space? It doesn't...

Norman: Hi Emergence, Yes, I believe there are plenty of resources to continue to sustain life, now and for many years to come. Just my opinion.

Homoafetivity is very much not a choice, even for bissexuals. On that I am quite certain.

My question was about your statement that over population doesn't exist.

That's not what I asked. I asked if you thought it was infinite. If it is not infinite, then overpopulation is definitely possible at some point in the future.

I hope that the title is not misread. I don't mean that gay people are not normal; I just say that homosexual sex is not natural; of course, love is always natural, whether it is heterosexual or homosexual.

Because, as for sex, in a heterosexual intercourse there is perfection and it deals with something complementary.
So homosexual people (who are born that way) do deserve to fall in love with one another and being in a relationship with one another.
But two gay people are not as lucky as a straight couple. Because there is no complementary sex.
So being born gay is disadvantaged situation, compared to being born straight.
This disadvantage derives from the fact that straight people have a wider range of choice, being the majority. Gay people don't.


Saying that gay people are as lucky as straight people is a very hypocritical and hateful comment.
I think you need to do a bit of research on homosexual activities before you say that they can't have complimentary sex, whatever that means to you. If it means what I think you mean by it, then homosexuals can certainly participate in complimentary sex.

Norman: Hi Emergence, Sorry for the confusion, yes I believe there are infinite resources and plenty to go around.

Infinite resources? There's a difference between abundance and infinity. The former may be the case, making population strains a matter of distribution, while the latter is simply not true.

How can you possibly believe that? The only way that could be true would be if the Earth was infinitely large. It is only 7,918 miles wide instead, with a surface area of around 197 million square miles. That is most definitely a finite number. You do know what infinite means, right? You can't squeeze an infinite number of people into a finite living space.

Norman: Hi Emergence, Yes, I know what infinite means. You can have the last word on this. I am trying to get out of this thread. Thank you for
your response and you could be right.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. The idea of a carrying capacity for the human species is controversial and indeterminate. As a practical matter, though, there appears to be a population problem even today, given consumption and distribution patterns.
