Gay Bashing

as a homosexual, did you suffer from homophobic remarks made by Christians?

Forgive the distinct mature comparison. If a male (or female) was healthy and have a healthy erection how does his response abnormal when a cute man is in front of him but normal than a cute woman walks by?

Does the object of attraction magically change his biological response to a "person" his body is attracted?

And many gay men weren't raised in "gay influences" so does the object of attraction have magical powers to make him healthy if it's a woman or dysfunctional if it's a male?

Why do you think.

For starters, I don't accept "pure" hetero/bi/homo sexuality actually exists. Maybe for a few, but overall in life in general people do not normally fall into extreme poles and either-ors.
The other reason is from all my studies I do not accept that hormones are a primary driver of sexual orientations. It seems to be at least a few things that shape sexuality and sexual orientation.
But hormones I kind of doubt are a strong one because in those who, due to age, accident, illness, or whatever that causes their hormone levels to drop or lose them we don't have a pattern of adjusting sexual orientation to accompany changing hormones.

No matter what someone think of gay people, its no need to bash them or speak bad :) they are human beings too.
I used to be really against gay people too, but realized its non of my business to critique them :)

I live by the standard that I will not have sex unless I am heterosexually married -- any other form of it is to be avoided.

That doesn't mean I think gays should be bullied or discriminated against. Heck, what if people started treating me badly because of MY sins?

No person should be bullied, unfortunately the morality in many people are not high, so they use their ego to discriminate others who are not like them self.

Sexual attraction in not like two magnets. Lust is a vice. This is what you are describing.
The Bible does tell us about sexual attraction that's virtuous - based on love.

So under this view, how does anyone even get together in the first place, if "lust" is a vice or a sin?
I mean, most people aren't instantly in love with each other the moment they meet. So how are we supposed to figure out who we're attracted to?

This doesn't make sense to me.

How is that possible. How does the object of attraction change the hormones, estrogen, test of the person attracted to it?

How does the object of attraction change the genetic make up of the person attracted to it?

The hormones change the object of attraction because it changes the brain structure, from what I have read. It also plays a part in gender identity. Gay and transgender males have a brain structure that is similar to hetero females.

People generally date. They don't need to spend hours a day together to date.

A lot of gay males get involved because of looking for an identity.

I read this but had a split second off comment related. I hope this is understandable. Example.

1. Take a man and a woman facing forward and side by side, but they cannot see each other. They are both attracted to men.

2. The woman is the first to see the object of attraction (the man). She has a sexual response to the guy. The same man moves in front of the other man, the other has a sexual response. Their responses are normal and healthy.

The argument is that the object of attraction made one person's sexual response healthy and the other one unhealthy. The other argument is the healthy response is not a choice and the "unhealthy one" is a choice.

It makes it seem like their object of attraction determined the sexual health of the other. Just as mind boggling is it makes it seem sexual response can be changed by one party but is natural for another.

How does the sexual response of attraction determine whether that response is physiologically and biologically healthy or unhealthy based on which sex with whom it is attracted?

How does the sex of the person with whom one is attracted determine one person's choice and another person's automatically physiological sexual responses?

I didn't say there is no difference between men and women. Read my post carefully.

You're the one trying to assign gender roles to people. Not me.
All I said was that I enjoy swimming in the buff.

Aren't some gender roles common sense about not misleading people.
