Missouri DE Michael Sam Announces He is Gay

This is one of the most willfully ignorant arguments you make on any subject where you speak only in absolutes and refuse to be disuaded that your opinion is the only one any other human should ever have.

Millions of people with genetic disorders beg to differ with you. In fact, very few, if any, genetic disorders can be cured, at least not with medical science as we know it today. The very word "genetic" is your first clue that these things are formed at the most basic building blocks of human life, and are replicated a million times over and over. It's not a matter of killing a bacteria or supressing a virus. You can't alter every strand of genetic material in someone's body.

Not to mention that if being gay could be "cured", that every gay person would rush to do so. Not every gay is miserable because he would rather fudge a man than a woman. Plenty of them are happy with who they are. Just because that is not a lifestyle you would want to continue doesn't automtically make it a disease.

I know, you hate gays and buttsex and their entire deviant lifestyle and hell will freeze over before you change your mind. And that's fine. But when you make statements like the one above, you sound ignorant. The reality is that just because YOU don't like it will not make it go away, and just because YOU think it's deviant does not mean it won't continue to happen around your little island of Kaosland, and be accepted by our society. Last time I checked, YOU weren't in charge of anything other than your little world and for that I am grateful. Or else I might find myself back home in the kitchen, cleaning house and raising children, making you a sammich in my bare feet. fudge that.

Didn't say it could be cured today. Cancer can't be cured today. So we stop looking for ways to cure it?

Listen to your argument and we've all still got polio and smallpox.

But aren't we actively searching for ways to cure other genetic defects? Do we just accept that down syndrome is natural since it is built into the DNA? What about tay-sachs? Sickle cell? Cystic Fibrosis? Alcoholism?

All genetic. And we're actively looking for a cure. If we agree that there is a genetic cause for this perversion of nature, why aren't we trying to find a way to cure it?

Talk about willfully ignorant.

If any deviation naturally occurs, then how does it violate the laws of nature?

People are born with extra hands, born conjoined, born with holes in their hearts. Violation of the order, has to be fixed.

Being born with extra hands does not violate the laws of nature. It is culturally viewed as abnormal because the majority of people only have two hands, but something can't occur naturally if it violates the laws of nature.

Violation of the order? Maybe, but then you're getting into subjective terms about whose order is correct. It's obviously not a violation of nature's order, or else it couldn't have occurred in the first place.

I'm not convinced it DOES occur naturally so this argument is wasted on me.

If you can't see how queerness violates the laws of nature I can't help you at all. You probably use your screwdriver as a hammer, your wrench as a floor jack and your saw as a ladder. You don't know what your tools are for.

Does anyone else want to clear the air today? Any panty wearers or maybe about that time you made it with a sheep? Now is a good time.

Yeah. And I'm not even gonna get into the gay debate in re to science, choice and all that crap the others are delving into. My main point was just the charade it's turned into to "come out". It doesn't make someone a damn hero.

Totally agree. I am glad the whole "first woman to [INSERT ACOMPLISHMENT HERE] has nearly run its course. Once Hillary wins in 2016, the last box will be checked... shoot me now.
