| Why is there no Pride Day for heterosexual relationships? Posted: 6/27/2006 2:11:15 PM | | I dunno if flaunting my carnal lust for women so all the world could see would render me more or less acceptable. That's why I keep it my own business so as not to offend people, and conduct myself with a bit of taste/class (not in these forums, mind you, but in the "real world"). | |

| Why is there no Pride Day for heterosexual relationships? Posted: 6/27/2006 8:56:13 PM | Because heterosexual relationships did not have adversity to overcome to be accepted in society=^_^=.
Still though, despite being 'not of the hetero persuasion' my stomach cringes whenever pride week comes around.. In my opinion the pride celebrations should emphasize acceptance and welcoming. Whereas most of the gays I know think it is only a meaningless excuse to consume much alcohol and wear as little as possible.
There should be a .. 'healthy and responsible relationship regardless of gender' parade, or one that puts more emphasis on acceptance and unity of man kind. One that tries to show the love we have for one another despite our differences. I'm not saying go drink your face off, but I keep finding myself not proud of pride. Anywho,.. yeah. That's the fox's opinion. Thanks for giving me a read ^_^ | |

| Why is there no Pride Day for heterosexual relationships? Posted: 6/27/2006 9:01:00 PM | | Woops! Correction! I meant to say "I'm not saying -dont- go drink your face off" . yes, Drink. Drink to the good and the bad =^_^=, nothing gets a party started like booz! >=D . I'm sure if gays and straights could drink together, the world would be spiffy! | |

| Why is there no Pride Day for heterosexual relationships? Posted: 6/27/2006 9:09:29 PM | Two Reasons:
1.) The Gay and Lesbian communities are far more organized as a collective community than heterosexuals.
and
2.) Parades are a privilage, not a right. When the divorce rate for heterosexuals falls below 50%, then maybe it's time to start lobbying for a parade. Otherwise it would just be celebrating the overall failure of an archaic institution.  | |

| Why is there no Pride Day for heterosexual relationships? Posted: 6/27/2006 9:16:06 PM | i think if there was a hetero day it would actually cause a problem, its like caucasians having a "white" day, im not racist by any means its just i think it would have a negative view on it even though its an equal event
the way i look at things is
if im proud to be white- im racist if im proud to be a man- im a sexist if im proud to be hetero- im a homophobe
so im just proud to be me =:) | |

If'n you don't like the sources...? What then? Check out NAMBLA...and the supporting organizations...
And this has what to do with two consenting adults? Give me a break Dragon, pedifiles are pedifiles whether they prefer the same sex child or not. Weak attempt at linking gays to this immoral act.
Seems like plenty of the Psyches still consider it,...A mental illness, despite Pro fag claims to the contrary....
I would consider your obsession with how they have sex closer to a mental illness. I dont preoccupy my imagination with such thoughts and the day I do will be the day I contact a therapist.
You still dont get it my friend. The sex life of two consenting adults is private, whether it is gay or hetrosexual. As far as STD's go, I believe most cases are transmitted by hetrosexuals. Such a myth about HIV being the gay disease. Do your homework on that one. What are you so afraid of that you cannot accept gays, your own sexual status perhaps. The more I hear you slam gays, the more I wonder about your status. | |

How freaking hilarious blindly swallowing the spoon fed terminology by the PRO Fag Camp is?
I am neither pro gay or pro hetrosexual. I simply live and let live. I view the major spiritualities in the same context and dont judge any of them either. Thank goodness we live in a free country where we can be ourselves providing we are not breaking any laws. So this really isnt about pro camps, its about freedom of expression. The day the government starts dictating which adult sex partners we choose will be the day they start telling you how to go to the bathroom. | |

People who say they don't judge others are full of crap.
Disagreeing with an opinion is not necessarily judging. I do agree that most people are judgemental to a degree. And yes, I myself have been known to pass judgement in certain areas as well, like serial killers, corrupt politicians, rapists, heck the list goes on. | |

Must really suck rocks when the Admissions of the Sickness comes from the writings of thier own ilk? Can't argue it can you? SO....whatcha gonna do?
Can't argue? Why not? Because what someone says, being of an "ilk", thusly makes it so? Plenty of "straight" people have said many things that I'm sure you disagree with. Them saying it does not make it true or accurate of anything. It's just them talking. I believe Hitler was straight. Care to claim his points of view? Exactly. Giant jumps of logic rarely make sense.
Actions and FACTS speak for themselves. Perversion masquerading under the auspices of "Human Rights":
Who decides what is perverse? The ruling body? The "majority"? Who is juding the majority?
Has society always been right? Just because your priest, congressman, president said it, doesn't make it any more correct, moral or right.
Society has been grossly wrong in the past on their so called "moral" judgements. We're only a few years removed from the notion that races shouldn't mix. What was so moral and righteous about that? But those are the cloaks people shroud themselves in. I'm speaking for morality! I'm speaking for families! I'm speaking for god! Bull****ingshit you are. you're speaking based on your opinions and your views on what is right and wrong. What is allowable and acceptable. Well who made you king of the world? Certainly not I.
Society changes. Lifestyles change. Sexuality is very free flowing. There are still laws on the books about anal sex (man/man or man/woman) and fellatio. Are you breaking the law? Do you give blowjobs? Better check if it's legal in your area. Because as we all know, laws = morality. No law has ever been wrong. Oh wait...my bad.
"Masturbation is universally legal as long as nobody else is involved and no image is made. However, a few jurisdictions in the U.S. do have laws against the distribution of masturbatory aids." -Wikipedia
That's right laws against selling sex toys.
Because laws and forced morality always make sense. | |

| Why is there no Pride Day for heterosexual relationships? Posted: 6/28/2006 1:30:35 PM | Umm...because the other 364 days are all about heterosexual couples? We have our big days to buy cards...Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day....and it's actually just Pride Day. A day to be proud of who you are, and what you believe in.
Plus, an excellent chance to walk around half naked and ogle people!!! | |

| Why is there no Pride Day for heterosexual relationships? Posted: 6/28/2006 1:42:19 PM | | Hey just wait it's gonna be more and more as time goes on, Pillow biters are just getting their thing going right now . Soon they won't need a day because it'll all just be what it is. It's really about as normal in the evolutionary process as it can be really. People are dying from aids all over the world because of choices they made or had made for them through genetics. It's all evolutionary. I just watch it unfold and know that I'm gonna be okay. If this sounds very rude it's an opinion and I stick to it. I've known 14 gay men in my life through different things and 5 are dead and four are carriers. Just a matter of time really Tick.. Tick... Tick... . take that needle out of your arm and put on a condom people. | |

why is there no Pride Day for healthy heterosexual relationships?
healthy heterosexual relationships? maybe because there are fewer of those than homosexual relationships
But seriously I would think the answer is quite obvious. I've never heard of heterosexuals being killed or tourtured simply because they prefer the opposite gender. On the other hand, stories like this are still far too common when it comes to homosexuals (or bi-sexual men).
Why is there such a movement as Black Pride? Same reasoning, when a group of people are oppressed and threatened you see movements such as these that try to reverse the shame and embarassment these people unecessarily feel for being born they way they are.
That said, I disagree with the word choice
IMHO, no one should feel pride for being born white, black, gay or straight. These are things you were given, not an accomplishment to take pride in. | |

| Why is there no Pride Day for heterosexual relationships? Posted: 6/28/2006 1:50:04 PM | Reason clearly left the house? how so? You latched onto the comment of a homosexual regarding pedophilia. What is the point? There are plenty of random wild comments from straight people. But i'm not going to bother quoting them here as if they are representative of the straight community or in some way are accurate JUST because they were uttered by a straight person.
As an Asian if I were to say...all asians are lovers of Cameros. Would I be more accurate being an asian? Or am I just saying shit to say shit? Facts/proof should follow. The logic there is just specious.
Perv chatter. I like it, you can label so well. When all else fails the last resort is an insult or label. Don't respond with any logic/fact/proof behind what you have to say. Instead label then call what other type to be gibberish.
My point on laws and forced morality was pretty clear I thought. Our laws and morality of the past would be deemed very immoral by today's standards. The problem is that those making these so called "moral" decisions for our best interest aren't the ones we should be trusting to guide us. Racists, biggots, what have you.
I fail to see why the actions of consenting adults would anger anyone so. Oh god they're different races! Oh god they're the same gender! The world will surely end if we don't put a stop to this nonsense! | |

Weak attempt at linking gays to this immoral act.
LOL...I didn't link it...the Fags did that all by their merry selves.
such a scholar you are. Move over einstein, you've just been bumped by a true genious.
Homosexual= Fag = Fudge packer? You mean...they Aren't? LOL How so?
The more you write your views on this subject the more you expose your fear and ignorance. Come out of the closet dragon, there still is a place for you on one of the floats. | |

but gibberish it wasn't. Of course it wasnt gibberish, was just her lack of tolerance for the world. Her way or the highway...thank God thats not how the world works. Maybe 20 years from now they wont need a parade...by then the world will have come to accpetance and it will be such a non-issue.
There is no need to call homosexuals fudge packers and fags. That is low and uncalled for. Just shows the level of some peoples thinking. | |

| Why do people want me to think like them? Posted: 6/28/2006 4:16:29 PM | There is NO wealth of data supporting your hypothesis, What there is, is a systemic perversion within the psychiatric community, which has been there since the beginning.
*sigh*…. Again with the emotional unsubstantiated arguments.
In 1991 neuroscientist LeVay discovered that there were physical differences within the brains of homosexual and heterosexual men.
In 1991 LeVay made news by claiming to have discovered that homosexual and heterosexual men have a difference in size in the third interstitial nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus. Some criticized the work as science by press conference, and critics have pointed out a number of concerns about the methodology, including sample size and measurement methods. Nonetheless, researchers have replicated the tests performed and have confirmed LeVay's findings, most recently in 2001, finding that there was a greater cellular density in gay men and straight women in the nuclei. Byne, W., S. Tobet, et al. (2001).
More recently in 2004 similar findings have been found using sheep.
Researchers in the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) School of Medicine have confirmed that a male sheep's preference for same-sex partners has biological underpinnings. A study published in the journal Endocrinology demonstrates that not only are certain groups of cells different between genders in a part of the sheep brain controlling sexual behavior, but brain anatomy and hormone production may determine whether adult rams prefer other rams over ewes. "This particular study, along with others, strongly suggests that sexual preference is biologically determined in animals, and possibly in humans," said the lead author, Charles E. Roselli, professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology. "The hope is that the study of these brain differences will provide clues to the processes involved in the development and regulation of heterosexual, as well as homosexual, behavior."
A recent study by Swedish scientists has found that gay men and heterosexual women both exhibit the same response when exposed to pheromones. Brain imaging was used while groups were exposed to gauge reactions.
Using a brain imaging technique, Swedish researchers have shown that homosexual and heterosexual men respond differently to two odors that may be involved in sexual arousal, and that the gay men respond in the same way as women. The new research may open the way to studying human pheromones, as well as the biological basis of sexual preference. Pheromones, chemicals emitted by one individual to evoke some behavior in another of the same species, are known to govern sexual activity in animals, but experts differ as to what role, if any, they play in making humans sexually attractive to one another. The new research, which supports the existence of human pheromones, is reported in today's issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Ivanka Savic and colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The two chemicals in the study were a testosterone derivative produced in men's sweat and an estrogen-like compound in women's urine, both of which have long been suspected of being pheromones.
I see no need to repeat things but please refer to MSG 107 regarding the statistic that for every older brother a man has the probability of him being gay increases by 30%. I would be interested in your theory as to how psychology would explain this phenomenon.
Another interesting article published recently find a correlation between gays and being left handed.
Is sexual orientation in the genes? Yet another indication might be at hand. According to Kenneth Zucker, a researcher at the University of Toronto's Center for Addiction and Mental Health, homosexuals are more likely to be lefties than heterosexuals. Zucker analyzed data collected in 20 different studies over the past 50 years and discovered a correlation between left-handedness and homosexuality. The findings, reported in the Psychological Bulletin, indicate that lesbians have a 91 percent greater chance of being left-handed or ambidextrous than straight women, while gay men are 34 percent more likely than straight men to not be right-handed. While Zucker says the research provides empirical evidence that links homosexuality to left-handedness, he also adds that "we don't have a definitive answer as to why the relationship exists."
It wasn’t all that long ago that we were attempting to “cure” left handed people with less than satisfactory results.
As for psychology…….
Considering the rabid response gay people receive for their sexual orientation, WHO in their right mind would actually CHOOSE to be gay?
Over and over again gay people have responded that they have always felt attraction to the same sex. They were not “taught”. As a heterosexual, I was never “taught” to be attracted to women. I always have been. Being heterosexual for me is not a choice. It simply is. Why should it be any different for homosexual people? Do you honestly find yourself in an inner battle to not “cross to the other side”?
Attempting to change an inherent biological behavior using psychological methods is simply not possible and very damaging to the “patient”. Suicide attempts are not uncommon from people attempting to be “cured” by the clueless wonders that continue to cover their ears and close their eyes to the evidence before them. The vast majority of these “therapists” subscribe to an organized religion that tells them how wrong the behavior is instead of thinking for themselves. | |
