You CAN choose to act on urges.

It's a choice to take it up the butt. Definitely.

But, could those urges be the result of a mis-wired brain or psychological issue? Of course.

We call alcoholism a disease now. Yet, even with a chemical dependency present, it's the same lack of personal responsibility that pours the beer in their mouth and a choice is made every time to drive to that next bar.


Sorry for actually thinking things through instead of singing the same "awwww, they're different so we just have to hold hands and accept them" song you do. So they're minorities...that means we have to overlook all of the health risks and social decay they're causing? That mindset got us the current President. Acceptance of the bad just to avoid being called a racist, bigot or HOMOPHOBE.

I've known gay people. I've worked and lived fine with them as long as they keep their sex to themselves JUST LIKE I DO...as a normal, considerate person. No one normal wants to hear about someone else's sexual preferences.

Go ahead, keep calling people who don't see your things names. It won't prove you right or help your cause at all. Last Tuesday proved that.

As a psychology student, there's a reason why homosexuality isn't included in the DSM anymore. Granted, it used to be... But homosexuality hasn't been included in the manual since 1973. Obviously nobody has to agree with homosexuality, but people that think it's a mental disorder are basically living in the dark ages.

It's like saying the earth is flat, when it's obviously not. Nature vs. nurture, will always be up for debate in terms of homosexuality, but anyone who thinks its a mental disorder... You might as well not even bother explaining it as to why it isn't. You're wasting your time and theirs. That view is so skewed its not even worth trying to explain it out.
