: : I dont think I understand what youre asking? Just the fact that there are other sexualities among humans which differ from "conventional" or "normal" sexuality automatically make them an alternative to the "norm". I think what youre asking is how could homosexuals consider homosexuality a reasonable/viable/acceptable alternative to conventional/normal sexuality? Or no?: What I'm saying is that there is heterosexuality, right it's the only sexaulity there is, to argue that homosexuality is an alternative sexuality with specific rights and privileges is a nonsense, you'd have to consider every form of sexual practice as a 'new sexuality' or something.
: :Once again, people do not CHOOSE which sexual desires they have; they only CHOOSE to act out sexual behaviors which reflect their innate desires. Did you willingly CHOOSE to have only heterosexual desires?
: Seeing as I think you can only really have heterosexaul desires and you have to be convinced or persuaded of anything other than those desires I dont really understand, or should that be agree, with what your saying.
: :No, you naturally had them and then CHOSE to act upon them.
: If that is the case then what are bisexuals? Are they just pretenders or something?
: :Homosexuals have never sought to organise and try to establish "special status" w/in society; theyve only sought to have equall status to heterosexuals.. meaning not being legally discriminated against based on being homosexual.
: Now, I'd disagree with that because trying to prevent discrimination can be fought out in the courts etc. dancing about naked or in rubber in the streets, on TV, in your own specially designed press is designed with something else in mind.
Jeez, Lark, you really do have a bugaboo about gays, don't you? Gays say time after time that they are gay by nature, in the same way that you Lark knew you were het by nature the first time you glimpsed Maggie Thatcher in a thong bikini (or was that Liz Hurley?). Anyway, why argue with the folks who know?
As for sadists, masochists, and adults who like to dress up in diapers, hell, if that's genetic too, and they're not bothering anyone, why complain about them (though so far, I've yet to hear a whips&chains type say it was in his genes).
Just as an aside, I read in today's Washington Post that in the U.S., AIDS is four times more prevalent among Catholic priests than the society at large, and yet the obituaries routinely say the collared ones died from "natural causes" and have even gone so far as to list their occupation at "laborer." The plot thickens...
