• Your suicide rates are high!

  I'm a bit irritated with the amount of posts about homosexuality that are still going around, not gonna lie.  I don't know what causes homosexuality and am not going to claim I do.  But as a queer person I find that it really doesn't matter.  I would not have my life any other way.  And some days, I'm really okay with being queer.  And other days, being linked to a site that tells me the following, makes me want to kill myself.

  As opposed to animals, where homosexuality appears to be irrelevant, we know that homosexuality in humans is harmful . We know that those who engage in it:
  

  • get and transmit blood borne diseases at high efficiency;
  • generate high medical costs;
  • often deliberately try to infect others; and
  • shorten their lifespan.

  Those who engage in homosexuality also:

  • frequently seek to ‘convert' others, particularly the young, to their sexual tastes
  • are generally rebellious, unstable and troubled;
  • are disproportionately disturbed (most who want ‘sex-change' operations engage in homosexuality);
  • are more frequently criminal;
  • more frequently take mind-altering substances;
  • more frequently engage in sex with animals (e.g., dogs, etc.);
  • more frequently engage in odd sex practices (e.g., sadomasochism, anal-oral sex);
  • are less productive in terms of fertility, raising well-bred children, and in their economic contributions; and
  • are more self-centered, selfish, and self-concerned.

  Among humans, there are almost no ‘homosexuals' — that is, men or women who only have sex with the same sex and only could have sex with their own sex. By age 40 (if they live that long), probably no more than 5% of ‘gays' and 3% of ‘lesbians' have only had sex with their own sex. Perhaps even these numbers would be lower if opportunity for sex with the opposite sex presented itself.

  In most modern societies, perhaps 2-3% of adults at one time or another engage in homosexual activity. Why do they do it? Because they like to, because its ‘better than nothing,' because they enjoy the reactions it gets from others, because they have fun twisting the rules of society, etc. Homosexual activity is more common in prisons, and those who engage in homosexuality are disproportionately criminal, socially disruptive, rebellious against society, and generally unstable. Further, they are often highly motivated to get the young to follow their habits. In addition, homosexual males are the breeding ground and the vector into the breeding community for countless diseases.

  This is what those of us who use reason and logic and/or are in some way queer are up against, what we are fighting daily on a social-political level, if not a personal level.  Oppression is sparked by claims such as these; there are consequences to the fact these arguments are still being made; our entire society is affected by the fact that these (unreasonable) claims, bold-faced lies, and unabashed propaganda are still being spread.  Good Christian people should love other people regardless of their sexual orientation; this whole idea of trying to "fix" homosexuality is only causing hurt and pain. 

  All recent publications say that children of homosexual parents grow up to be just as adjusted, heterosexual, productive and happy as any child of a heterosexual family situation.  That white gay men have the most money of any family arrangement and contribute the most to society economically.  That a greater percentage of homosexuals abuse substances than heterosexuals because they have to find some way to cope with the fact that they are marginalized by society, outcast, told they are vile, told they should try to change, told they don't care enough about their religious beliefs, told they are perverted, confused, disgusting, disturbed, vile, twisted, sick, inferior, etc.  That the greater percentage of homosexuals that engage in "criminal" activity can be accounted for in the fact that nearly everyone who is forced to live on the street to survive because they were kicked out of their parents' house (or ran away from home for being persecuted) has to turn to those means to survive.  That comparing homosexuality to bestiality is both stupid and untrue on so many levels that argument does't even make sense to ever be made.  That homosexuals have relationships and heterosexuals have sex and it's not always the other way around and not all gay people are all about gay sex.  That the only difference between heterosexuals and homosexuals is the fact that homosexuals like the same sex and heterosexuals like the opposite sex.  

  So, why, with all this out there in the Universe, do people believe the lies and propaganda?
