A question about this expression 'sexual orientation' and the concept of identity?

Question

Isn't this expression 'sexual orientation' a 'politically correct' euphemism for people with sexual phobias and/or confused identities?

Surely there's only ONE TRUE sexual orientation in Nature -that which produces babies?

Do you feel it's one thing to quietly spend your life with someone of the same s*x, but quite another to PROMOTE IT - e.g. these 'Civil Partnerships' that are all the rage these days?

With many people in the world desperately searching to find their REAL, BIOLOGICAL parents - the roots of their TRUE IDENTITIES - isn't the PROMOTION of these so called 'sexual orientation' lifestyles that negate normal natural reproduction wrong; and even more so the use of ANONYMOUS sperm banks by ANYONE to conceive a child and hide from that child who their father is?

Many people now consider that western society in particular is in MELTDOWN - far from respecting their 'elders' - many youngsters are attacking them - isn't this erosion of IDENTITY the root of the problem?

Answer 1

Homophobic jackass.

Answer 2

So, you are afraid of people different from you ... homosexuals want nothing from you except for you to leave them alone .. Is that really so hard?

  Have they come to your door and threatened you ? Are they attacking you when you leave home?

  Why are you homophobic?

Answer 3

Maybe you should research "Nature" a bit more. There is tremendous sexual variation in the animal kingdom.

Sounds like you are pushing a religious agenda? If so, why don't you just say so?

Answer 4

I remember reading a book that discussed the changes in US social norms over the past Century. The main point I want to bring out here is that something strange happened in the 1960s. Some might point to the draft with few deferrments, others might say it was the rise of opportunities to recieve higher education. Whatever the reassons, there was a strong and organized counter-culture revolution. Enough people looked at the world their parents had created and found it lacking in the values they wanted to adopt. This was the first draft that took the males of the wealthy families. Many of them felt threatened and had the resources/education to drop out and go outside what they called the "Military Industrial Complex"

What happened in the next decade of the 1970s was the thing that tipped the scales: The parents of these hippies/Yippies etc looked at the open minded lifestyle of their kids and decided they wanted in too! In fact there was also a shift from marketing to adults to marketing to younger and younger groups, in the realization that they have more discretionary income and are easier to lead into consumerism.

Before that time each generation looked to their parents for their value system. IN the 70s and after, kids rule.

This is not to say that there were not powerful forces opposing this shift. One of the reasons colleges/universities relaxed their rules against fraternization with the opposite s*x was to allow the student's horemoneal desires to distract them from their idealism.

The current situation is very chaotic. Many of our youth have a deep sense that they have no future. When you couple the natural adolesent feeling that since they have no power, nothing they do matters with the disillusioning way our leaders plunder our treasury in the name of fighing for freedom....its easy to see why they are so cynical and don't value other's lives, let alone their own.
