Teen who wants to wear anti-gay T-shirt takes battle to court

[tamarin]

Hey, that one should raise some hackles!

A good father is required to teach his sons how to drink and fight and something else I can't remember math maybe or fishing, please and thankyou and you're welcome. A little bit of carpentry wouldn't hurt either.:lol:

 

[hermanntrude]

Herman, good! Any father who doesn't teach his son how to fight - and, concomitantly, how to hold his temper - is doing a crappy job as a parent.

When I said the winner I didnt mean the guy who smashed the most teeth.

Yes, Zzarchov, the Globe had a great article last year on the phenomenon in colleges and universities where many young women reported they felt pressured to engage in same-sex sexual relationships to some degree. There has not been anything like that in the young male community. Either because we're stick-in-the-muds when challenged about our gender specifics or because we happen to think sexuality isn't just another experiment.

They all want to be like Madonna or Alana Moreset. Experimentation is a funny concept. It can either give a person answers or help them continue on a downward spiral. A lot of men that decide they are gay later in life experiment with woman first. For those people it seems to work.

S2, you were smart to mention the celebrity culture connection. I don't think it's sexist to state young women and women in general seem to be more influenced by it than men. I'd like to see a breakdown in the readership of such flagship mags like US and People and other key mags in that loop. I would think women easily predominate.

Don't hurt me

But I think our media promotes homosexuality/bisexuality, and makes kids wonder.

I am not gay, but with the constant media attention on its hard not to consider what is done in gay sex.

Celberties are a huge factor too:

Noticed the new trend in Hollywood? They aren't marrying until gays get the right to marry...

there's nothing wrong with wondering. It's part of a decent scientific thought-pattern.

and there's nothing wrong with experimentation either. Either they like it, which suggests they have bi or gay feelings or they dont, and they get to join the holy masses of contemptuous bigots who go to heaven.

 

[westmanguy]

If homosexuality was NORMAL, 2 men and 2 woman could reproduce.

They can't

Hetrosexuals is the only normal partnership, and all people who died having gay sex and never repented will suffer greatly after death.

People are complex though. If someone walks away from such an experience and says now I am clear on my sexuality then great. However, what if they just walk away and think, "I feel dirty now".

 

[hermanntrude]

then they won't do it again, and the net result will be knowledge

Maybe in the future they will be able to. What does normal have to do with it anyway? Are sterile people going to burn in hell?

But what if ignorance is bliss?

homosexuality has even been noted in animals other than humans. Although animals are only there to serve us, isnt that right west? I wonder... hmmm.... maybe that's what dead deer are for....

A lot of heterosexual couples can't reproduce. That doesn't make their relationships wrong or abnormal.

You're certainly right that gays get a lot of press for what? less than 2 percent of the population?

Science magazine, July 3, 1992, reports a very recent French study that found only 4.1% of men and 2.6% of women said they'd had homosexual intercourse at least once in their lives. Only 1.1% of men and 0.3% of women said they'd had homosexual intercourse in the past 12 months (as reported in "Homosexual figures grossly exaggerated," AFA Journal, September, 1992, pg. 9).

I'm not homophobic. I was just surprised the percentage was so low.

I don't know if that number is right. It sure seems that it is more then 2%.

 

[hermanntrude]

Well from my highschool I know of three people that came out. That doesn't mean there arn't more though.

 

[westmanguy]

6 666 666 is 2% of 300 million people

is about 6.5 million right for the amount of gays in the USA?

 

[hermanntrude]

not sure if it was a US report. The quote mentioned france
