Hillary Clinton announces support for same-sex marriage

[Danno 1,228]

Yeah, nobody says this.

You are in denial again, because you don't "want" something to be true... you pretend it isn't because it is unpleasant or hurtful or untrue. And so you deny what many people honestly think or wonder.

And I guess you deny the common assumption that -behind every gay man is a domineering mother, or perhaps a naughty Scout master?

These were the findings of professionals in the field of psychology, at least at one time.

People are molded by their social environment all the time, nothing unusual here.

And when a person has such an unusual development inside of them that they don't relate to the opposite sex as the other 97%, do.... people naturally look for reasons why. These assumptions are often wrong, never the less, they are there.

My god, you are completely out of touch with reality.

If you honestly believe what you're spewing, then I'm not sure what to tell you. But believe me, these are not "common assumptions" just because you're ignorant and believe them.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you've never met a gay person in your entire life, at least nobody who was willing to admit it to you. You just believe all the scary, bad things your political party tells you about them, don't you?

The part I bolded, is what you are to a tee. Even when folks post fact after fact, you still "find" a way to dispute facts with obscure figures and examples that couldn't be more different.

You do realize that is precisely what you do... what with assumptions, folklore, superstitions, etc...

I had to +1 you because that's what I said and I can't +1 myself

There is a huge difference between "what we believe" and realizing that other people believe differently.

I point out a common thought among "some people", and Poor Evyln ... and perhaps you too, pretend it is not so.

Holy Smokes have you ever seen how many people believe in UFO?

There's your mistake - that isn't a common thought. Most people don't believe that behind EVERY gay person is some childhood trauma. Only the truly ignorant and afraid think things so out of touch with reality.

I guess we would have to define "common."

Are Homosexuals "common"? Though they are only 3-5% of the population? I would say so.

And I would also say the views that social environments can shape sexuality is also common, especially among professionals.

danno doesn't even acknowledge a difference between homosexuality and pedophilia. the religious right exists in a vacuum. which is why danno's so adamant that his personal opinions are the reality.

Post an example where I confuse the two.

Come on, I dare you.

there was a thread about boy scouts and homosexuals. you dig it up.

[Danno 1,228]

So what turned you straight?

Who said I turned straight?

Thats funny you are hoping to insult me, How?

By suggesting I am or was Gay.

Using Gays as a slur-method is not nice I might report you for that.

No, no, no you made the claim... put up or shut-up.

being homosexual is an insult?

you said social environment shapes sexuality. how did your social environment shape your sexuality?

No, no, no you made the claim... put up or shut-up.

um. nope.

Are you out of your mind?

Where did I attempt to insult you or suggest you were gay?

You told me that there are certain things that are behind every gay person (domineering mother, bad father, naughty scout, crappy husband) ... since those are the apparent deciding factors in their sexuality, what were the deciding factors in yours?
