You miss the point. It's not saying it's a good thing to be homosexual, it's saying homosexuals deserve as much pride as anyone else, that they reserve the right to dignity just like a straight guy.

Only "perveted" to our closed minds. One hundred years ago (give or take a bit), it was "perverted" to show ones ankles, or to mention "trousers" in a shop or in public.

Now, that's not to say I think all "perversions" are "right". I believe that paedophilla for instance is a "perversion" that is "wrong", and I admit my mind is closed on that issue. But, there is not a single Right that we must all follow.

Um, peadophilia...right...

Gays are just people. It's like having red instead of brown or blond hair. And pride is something that everybody has in themselves - if you're not proud of yourself, what's the point in living?

Paedophilia is different to homosexuality. This is maily because paedophilia hurts children- a child can never willingly and conciously agree to sexual relations with an adult. It is all forced and rape.

[Mr. Pedantic]

Yeah, I know. Well, it wouldnt really be rape if the child didn't know about it - they haven't actually consented or refused, so up to the refusal point, i don't think it can be called rape. It's just cause they're too young to know that much better - any adult would scream and shout at the top of their voice. and maybe kick the offender where the sun doesn't shine

But still correct. You have a right to personal choice, but there are reasonable limits to it. Pedophiles are who they are too.

There's a big difference between Hitler, pedophiles and gays. Gays don't "damage" others in a physical way.


I can sense a reply: "omgz they assrapes eachothers!!"

So there's nothing wrong with pedophiles? After all, they don't physically damage children.

You completely fail at sarcasm.

Woa... just so it be known by using the word perversion I was refferring to the sexually influenced personallity. I did not intend to put gays on the same scale as sexual predators... so if anyone took it that way I hope this clears up any misunderstandings...

I was gonna use "hurt", but I thought it didn't fit that well. Anyway, pedophiles do physically damage children.
