I wasn't trying to be a jerk...
Some of us have some serious questions.
I you think we are mouth breathers that's OK.
I have an open mind. I am not trying to hurt anybody's feelings.
I would not let anyone suggest a Nazi plan to you.
If you guys just want to let this die...That's OK too.
I am sorry if I offended you. Sometimes I can be dead wrong.

I am interested foremost on why some believe that homosexual people are flaunting their sexuality, when in reality, it is the heterosexual population that is so offended by their sexuality, that it is they themselves, who make more case of it.

There are so many things. How about the idea the existence of lgbt laws suggest no one of the countries supporting the laws can verbalize or express true love in such a way anybody would see the good of it and turn straight. While other countries who have made those laws apparently know true love better, since those laws won and came into existance just like pro-lgbt laws. Even if during the process of lawmaking there were prolgbt voices which were muffled, even then it's the right of the strongest, either the way which holds many promises or the standard way.
I know they are meant to make sure people don't get hurt but still, human laws should suffice for anyone. The more vocal they are, or 'in your face' the more this is apparent, especially with internet and videos able to become viral. Anyone trying to refute their arguments becomes either demonized or the next messiah, which further complicates things since if it were proven that love some believe exists doesn't exist because the majority says so then how to express true emotions, especially since the idea is hundreds of years old and passed on for many generations, developed by many people some of them humilitated beyond belief.
A quote I like from Zora Neale Thurston: "If you're silent about your pain, they'll kill you. And say you enjoyed it."

After thinking about this for awhile...
I don't judge other groups on the actions of a few.
I should not judge this community either.
So, I guess we are making progress.

It sounds like you're saying they should discriminate because you personally support their bias. Now there's a sound argument, eh?

I really am sorry. I have read the above passage 4 times, and I still don't understand what it means to convey.
If you would be so patient as to break it down in a simpler way? I think it means that you think the heterosexual way of love is the only true way to love? That is what I am getting from that passage, but I can't be sure.
Love knows no color, no sex, no name, no scorn from others.
What I wish you could consider, is that it does take in your face revolution to get anything changed. I wish you would consider that these simple rights of loving someone should exist for all of those who love someone. In this, all are equal. All are satisfied.

So according to you, my parents' love is illegitimate and they are only desperately pretending to have something only heterosexual couples can have?
That's pretty offensive.

I understand, it has to do with development, maybe you'll get it one day at least I'm sure you have the brains to do so. It's a complicated issue spanning centuries, maybe I should give up the idea people can understand me at this point since just reading what I did to reach my opinion takes many years.
But we're not equal in that we are not the same, one love produces baby, and whatever it is you refer to is simply lust and associations. Sure we are equal in that we both have a right to a safe home and freedom to read or view what one wants, the right to work and food and to choose a mate. But we are also free to acknowledge something any way we see.
People should stop pretending it is any different and stop fooling people still growing up who don't see this and have been indoctrinated with having to accept that thing as potential true love.
Sure we both have bodies and minds. But our thoughts are different. One group goes on with homosexuality in their reality, the other will have to reject it for all of eternity, or until a country starts a world war. Is that what you want?edit on 7-2-2014 by spiritspeak because: (no reason given)

Now THAT is irony, you want others to cease condescending statements. Quit making excuses and don't be a coward. You can't expect to bully an entire thread and expect to not be on the receiving end. And seriously, how is asking if you're a wahibist confusing anyone? You do know what it means don't you? I thought it relevant because the ideologies you espouse are fully in line with wahibist philosophy.
