Homosexuality is normal because it is observed in the animal kingdom. Well, rape exists in the animal kingdom too. Are civil rights for rapists next?

I was expressing my feelings as to how ridiculous this topic is.

Well, aren't you just so precious?

Says the person arguing that rape and homosexuality are similar, if not the same, because they both exist.

I said rape and homosexuality both exist in nature. I did not say they were similar. This is a typical LGBT tactic to bully people with opposing viewpoints by lying about what they said.

You don't have an opposing viewpoint, you have a major phobia and prejudice.

And your inability to form cohesive arguments and become defensive and cry "bully" is exactly what opponents of human equality do when confronted about their own ignorance

Also, when you compare two things, as you did, you are assuming that they are similar enough to be compared.

They were not compared. You should stop lying about people. Embrace the truth, even if you find it uncomfortable.

I initially thought this thread was kind of a joke... but...

I'd like to ask you, then, since your viewpoint seems to be anti-homosexuality...

Enlighten me. What is the problem with homosexuality? Should it be banned entirely? Should homosexuals be punished, and if so, how? What do you recommend doing about it?

...your title alone compares them. I think you need to relearn what "lying" and "truth" mean.

And the lies continue. Shame on you.

Hahahahahaha OK so you really are just messing with me now.

[duraaraa 203]

Wait... is this whole argument or isn't it just a joke?

I'm supposed to be getting a mini giraffe out of this.

Here is what I find rather disturbing:

As a consequence of the title of your thread, one might also have said:

Heterosexuality is normal because it is observed in the animal kingdom. Well, rape exists in the animal kingdom too. Are civil rights for rapists next?

Bathing is normal because it is observed in the animal kingdom. Well, rape exists in the animal kingdom too. Are civil rights for rapists next?

Swimming is normal because it is observed in the animal kingdom. Well, rape exists in the animal kingdom too. Are civil rights for rapists next?

Sleeping is normal because it is observed in the animal kingdom. Well, rape exists in the animal kingdom too. Are civil rights for rapists next?

Eating is normal because it is observed in the animal kingdom. Well, rape exists in the animal kingdom too. Are civil rights for rapists next?

As you can see, the first and second clauses cannot be presented in the form of a corollary. That one can't see that is indeed, rather uncomfortable.

I can't respond to that without causing a whole host of other problems.

I guess the point that is trying to be made here, is that just because something occurs in the animal kingdom, doesn't make it the proper thing for humans to do.

My issue is that rape is harmful and unwanted for the victim. If two people want to play-rape or something along those lines, I have no problem with it. I define right and wrong by harmful and non-harmful. I don't see any harm to anyone with homosexuality.

In fact, I think that it's logically much worse to litter, slaughter an animal, or even be heterosexual (due to the negative effect overpopulation has on the environment) than to be homosexual... but try to ban something like hunting for fun, and those who are generally against homosexual rights will feel like their rights are being trampled upon.
