I haven't said anything about "lust". I haven't used that term one time. You falsely accused me of saying that you had to have gay sex to be gay because all that matters is the specific act and impulses/desires don't matter. Then you responded to that fake straw man argument by saying "so that means virgins don't have a sexual orientation". You were arguing with yourself.
What I've said is that impulses alone don't outweigh a person's actions. I say that in the context of somebody voluntarily having sex with people of the same sex while claiming not to be gay because they don't feel that way inside. I'm not even talking about "impulses". I'm talking about feelings of attraction and how it's a conscious choice to be open to exploring those feelings, and to act on those feelings. I'm not talking about people deciding to suppress their lust for the same sex, I'm talking about people who have decided not to even entertain any possible feelings of attraction to the same sex. Like I said, you don't know if you like something until you try it and to try it you have consciously decide to be open to it. I've never had a desire to eat sushi, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like it if I opened my mind enough to give it a try. Not trying sushi to know if I like it is a conscious decision that I've made. They are people who have decided to be open to trying homosexuality and there are those who have decided not to be open to trying it.
The whole problem with your argument is that you are saying that impulses alone don't outweigh a person's actions w/r/t sexual orientation, and that is categorically false because the whole definition of sexual orientation is based on impulses. The definition of homosexuality is being
attracted to members of the same sex, it has nothing to do with acting on those attractions. The definition of heterosexuality is being
attracted to members of the opposite sex, it has nothing to do with acting on those attractions. The impulse most definitely outweighs the action. A gay man can kiss a woman and still be gay if he doesn't feel any sexual attraction towards women. A straight man can be in a position to never act on his heterosexual impulse because he is in an environment where there are no females, and it doesn't mean he's no longer heterosexual. What you're positing by saying actions are more important than impulses is that that man cannot be heterosexual because he has no opportunity to act on his heterosexual impulse, which is ridiculous.
The other big problem with your argument is that you're saying people can choose to be open to a sexual impulse, which again is not the case. You can control whether or not you
act on that impulse, but sexual drive and impulse are hormonal. You can't choose to alter the levels of testosterone, estrogen or progesterone flowing through your body. You just made the same mistake again by stating "There are people who have decided to be open to trying homosexuality". You don't
try homosexuality, you
are or
are not homosexual. You can
try homosexual sex or acts, but you can't try the state of being. And before you claim I misquoted you again, here are direct quotes:
"
What you're saying is simply not true because we know that sexuality is a conscious choice for some people."
"
Bisexuality is not an involuntary or subconscious choice."
And then when I checked you on that, you responded with:
"
People have impulses to do all goes of shyt but it's the act that makes it real."
So you're obviously of the wrong belief that a)sexual orientation is a conscious choice for some people, and b) sexual orientation is not legitimate until you act on it.
You seem to be trolling yourself. You're damn sure arguing with yourself. You're once again distorting my argument. I didn't say that the percentage of gays by choice is insignificant because it's so small, I say it's insignificant because it's irrelevant to my point. My point is that some people choose to be gay for a variety of reasons, attention was only one of the reasons that I named initially. You chose to focus on trying to debunk that one reason in supporting your "nobody would choose to be gay because negative things can happen" argument, so I brought up well known verifiable examples(Jenner, Thug) to prove you wrong.
You're point is still illegitimate because you're still using terminology like "choose to be gay". Young Thug and Caitlyn Jenner are not evidence of this, because a) Young Thug is not gay and him presenting himself as such doesn't make it so, and b) Caitlyn Jenner is not gay, she's transgender, and according to her she has always been transgender. So you're bringing up 2 cases of non-gay people to prove a point about how some people can choose to be gay. Neither one has claimed to choose their sexual orientation.
I don't really expect you to come out of the closet right here in this discussion. I expect you to deny being gay but I think that you're gay nonetheless. You're pushing a gay agenda. You also tell on yourself with that "I'm a humanist" garbage. People who talk like that are completely full of shyt. That comment is the equivalent of "I don't see race, I'm colorblind". You never trust people who talk like that.
So what's the difference between saying "gays are born that way" and saying "gays don't choose to be gay"? You're being dishonest again. When you say that it's not a choice you're saying that they were born that way.
If you think I'm gay based on me caping for gay rights, that's your prerogative. I guess you think James Reeb and Viola Luizzo and James Zwerg were black too. "
It is not possible to be in favour of justice for some people and not be in favour of justice for all people." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But I guess that's just humanist garbage to you, and he's completely full of shyt. And btw, the difference between those two statements is that there is an area of time where we are being influenced by our postnatal environment yet not choosing the outcome. For example if rates of homosexuality were shown to increase in environments where the child was bottle fed instead of breast fed, he wasn't born gay but he didn't choose to be gay. His environment dictated that.
You lack basic comprehension skills my man. I never said that Thug was gay. He claims that he's not gay so if he's faking anything, it's being straight. The point that I make with Thug is that we live in a society that promotes/celebrates alternative lifestyles in an effort to normalize them and that has lead to some people using those alternative lifestyles for attention. Whether it's Thug trolling people with his sexuality, Bruce turning into Caitlin for the attention, or random chics on the street being attention-whore lesbians because people tell them that it's cool. Some people use the gay/trans shyt to get attention. You said that nobody does and you're wrong.
Again, I never said nobody is using it to get attention. I even acknowledged that Young Thug's efficacy in getting attention was predicated on a society where this topic is of interest to the general public. I said that nobody is
choosing to be gay to get attention. You can choose to present as gay, but you cannot choose to switch your sexual orientation. So even if we become a society fully accepting of homosexuals, there is no reason to believe rates of homosexuality will increase. Rates of out gays will most definitely increase, but there's no reason to believe there would be an effect on people becoming actually gay. The concern should be that we'll see and increasing number of people pretending to be gay to receive attention, not that homosexuality is a false phenomenon. Claiming homosexuality is an alternative lifestyle is also bunk, because there is no such thing as a homosexual lifestyle. The only thing that differentiates homosexuals from heterosexuals is the direction of their sexual preference. They can present the same in every other facet of life.
You're arguing with yourself here. I've already addressed you distorting my argument projecting that "you said that impulses don't matter" lie on me.
Again, the problem with your argument isn't that you don't believe impulses exist, it's the degree to which you're crediting action over impulse in determining sexual orientation. You've said, and I quote, "
Nah bruh, you suck pipe and get hit in your booty by other dudes then you're gay(bisexual if you're still dealing with women too). You don't get to choose to do gay stuff while being straight." and "
Having some level of attraction to people from both sexes doesn't make you bisexual, acting on those attractions to people from both sexes makes you bisexual." I didn't make those quotes up, you yourself said them. You directly claimed that it doesn't matter if you have sexual impulses, what matters is if you act on those impulses. Now you're slowly coming around and seeing that was wrong. Just take the
Lesson and keep it moving breh.
Not trolling at all. You sound like a closeted homosexual(since you deny it). I don't even get your charge here. What does me thinking that sexuality is "mutable" or fluid have to do with being bisexual? Explain that leap. You've said yourself that sexuality is on a spectrum, so why do you deny that it's mutable? If sexuality is on a spectrum, then doesn't it make sense that those who are near the middle can choose what they want to be?
I'm not denying it's mutable, i'm saying that people who have always had some significant level of attraction to both sexes would naturally believe that everyone is like that, that everyone can
choose. And again, you seem to think bisexuality is flipping between being heterosexual and homosexual. It's not, it's it's own state. Bisexuals don't choose to be heterosexual one day then homosexual the next.
You can't even understand the simple English that I speak in, let alone tell what I'm thinking. You pretending that a child's parents aren't part of the environmental factors that can influence that child's sexuality points to your pro-gay agenda. Again, I used the term "influence" not "turn". As a seemingly closeted gay person and staunch gay advocate, you have a vested interest in dismissing the potential influence on sexuality that homosexual parents can have.
I was speaking generally here, responding to your claim "
Of course a kid being raised by a homosexual parent or couple is going to have some kind of influence on the kid." I agreed that there is an environmental role that parents can play, I was just qualifying your statement that it's not a large role, which you agreed with.
I haven't analyzed any issue strictly according to primitive instincts. I said that homosexuality is a defect then explained exactly how/why it's a defect.
fukk that video.
ok well the video explains exact scenarios where homosexuality/bisexuality can be utilized as an advantage, so if you're gonna refuse to watch it, that's pretty much that.
You keep repeating the same dumb ass arguments that I have already refuted. I have not said that you to have gay/straight sex to be gay/straight. I have not said that impulses don't matter. That's a straw man position that you created.
"You can do gay shyt but still be straight". Get all the way the fukk out of here with that.
You don't get to choose to do gay stuff while being straight.
You're saying that a person's actions don't matter and that their sexuality is only based on how they claim to feel inside, which opens the door for that down low fakkit mentality.
...yeah. Again, if a person is engaging in homosexual behaviour and is enjoying it, they are gay or bisexual. If a person is engaging in homosexual behaviour and is not receiving sexual pleasure from it, they are not gay or bisexual. You're going to have to wrap your mind around that idea.
I haven't said that(bold) and you're an snake for falsely accusing me of saying that. I've said that I could choose to be gay if I wanted to. I choose not to be gay. I don't know why you have such a hard time comprehending simple English. If you as man has sex with with other men for any reason other being raped, then you're gay. I don't care what you claim to feel inside.
That's the gist of this exchange. You want to pretend as if men can have sex with other men without being gay. Now why in the world would a supposedly straight man fight tooth and nail to push that bullshyt perspective? Especially knowing the problem with the down low shyt in our community and the role it plays in spreading hiv?
Bruh, this is why I'm saying you might actually just be bisexual. Because I know that no matter how hard I tried, I can't find another man sexually attractive. I'm not receiving the impulse. I'm a heterosexual. I didn't choose to be, and I can't control it. I get sexually aroused by women. If you are receiving sexual attraction impulses from men and just choosing not to act on them, you're bisexual breh. And you sound like you're desperately trying to convince yourself you're not bisexual because you haven't acted on your homosexual impulses. Funny enough, the more homosexuality and bisexuality are accepted by our society, the less gay and bi people will have to hide their activities and can stop the down lo shyt.
Anyway, we've written a book in here and I feel like we've pretty much reached an impasse, so I'm gonna bow out. Feel free to respond to my post though.
Toodles dahling!
