I have to be in a debate/discussion in class next week on the topic of homosexuality becoming remedical, or being classified as a medical condition that can be/should be treated. Can you guys think of any points that can be used to defend this? (I didnt pick this side of the issue)

Medical condiiton? No. But think of it this way, did you choose to be attracted to the opposite sex?

How does this explain why such a great deal of homosexuals become homosexual later in life, or even more profound, why so many college students suddenly become bisexual once they begin a liberal sex life? How does this explain why there are some (albeit not very many) people who were once homosexual but then turned away from it?Originally Posted by Guard_Pass

Do psychological conditions count as medical conditions? Because you can say that homosexualitycan be just as treatable as kleptomania.

If being gay is a mental illness, what the HELL are you going to call religion?

Did they become homosexual later in life....or admit later in life? There's a difference. I have never heard of anyone being homosexual then turning straight or vice versa....merely people "coming out of the closet"Originally Posted by Beatitude

and, by the way, keep in mind that just because someone might "choose" to commit a homosexual act doesn't neccesarily mean they actually are NATURALLY attracted to someone of the same sex anyways, which is what the definition of homosexuality is in the first place.

Oh yes, there are people that became gay then became straight again. The people that were once gay and became straight are quite eager to admit that homosexuality is a choice; though I suppose one can always deny it and say that they are all lying.Originally Posted by Guard_Pass
So it's just coincidence that the gay community is enormously more promiscuous than the mainstream heterosexual population? Coincidence that they usually conveniently 'come out of the closet' once they begin a sexually liberal lifestyle in college and shortly after college? Or that men that once dated and had sex with women in high school start to have sexual relations with both women and other men?

Why do you think homosexuals and bisexuals are so much more prone to be promiscuous?Originally Posted by Guard_Pass

they probably aren't.Originally Posted by Beatitude
it just seems that way because some of them are very vocal because of the stigma that they face, so they try to rebel against it.
you know, other than all of those san fransisco events, what else would lead you to beleive that homosexuals are "much more prone to be promiscuous"?

Is that supposed to be a comeback? That's how Muslims deal with convicted homosexuals. I'm Muslim, remember, so that's what I endorse. Right now I'm giving you the Beatitude cold stare of disapproval.Originally Posted by squanto

Surveys have been done on the number of sexual partners the average homosexual male has per year. I'm sure you can find it and reference it here.Originally Posted by Beatitude
