Hmm..
by Kaushik Das on Feb 27, 2008 05:54 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

1. Probably homosexuality can be accepted more easily if gays behave themselves in public. But because of their odd and openly sexual behaviour, they make themselves apparently abnormal.
2. Aside from their behaviour, they experiment more with sex, probably in an effort to come to terms with their own sexuality. This makes their behaviour risky and infectious from HIV, etc. As it is, MSM will be using the anus (which is normally NOT meant to be penetrated) resulting in more probability of blood contact. They also behave in a bullying manner at times.
3. Has Mr Menon and others like him ever thought back as to why they were attracted to the male body? Why haven't people noticed that even among homosexuals, there is a 'masculine' / dominant partner and an 'effeminate' / subjugated one. Which clearly proves that these people are not attracted to the same sexuality - they are attracted to the opposite sexuality in the same sex. Thus, essentially, they are NOT homosexuals.
4. If homosexuality is fine, is animalism / bestiality next in line for being fine???
5. Just like psychologically, children are not ready to accept sexuality and rightly should be kept away from sexual signs as they are disturbed by it, we have a right to be disturbed by homosexual signs. What about our rights? If you want to have homo-sex, carry on - but why bring it out and ask for rights??

Nice points. My thoughts -
1,2. Many males while approaching females are clumsy, despite lot of "experience" from movies. Gays have no where to learn how to approach people, and they know almost everybody is hostile to them. This contributes to their clumsy behavior. Maybe, the change should come from us?
3. I am not sure the point whether is it is genetic, male attraction/whatever. It is the right to do whatever we want unless we harm others, which is the basic principle of society. If we go by the "natural" argument, strictly it is not "natural" to brush teeth, cut nails or hair and all other modern ways of living. Should we punish people for doing all that? Nobody knows absolute ethics. How can we decide, what is right for everybody else in the world? Tomorrow, for example, a survey shows in a particular city 60% are homosexuals, isn't it "natural" amd heterosexuality "abnormal"? What we label as natural is subjective and not objective, and influenced by how we are raised.
4. I am not sure we are qualified yet to answer the bestiality question yet. In the first place, we don't "communicate" with animals. The rights that have to be observed here is of animals. If we start communicating, if animals do want, in my opinion, by mutual consent, it is permissible.
5. what is wrong with our rights? It is they who don't have rights. If we can parade our sexuality, why can't they parade theirs? They are not objecting to us, it is we who are objecting to them.

they dont make themselves behave abnormally but thats the way they like to be or dress.not all behave that way as u mentioned .it is based on the male or female characteristic they have.why should sexuality be kept away from children,it is ok from them to know so that they can learn to accept people as they are.it all depends who is doing the telling.this is the 21st century for God's sake.you shd protect the children from more important issues like AIDS,drug abuse and alcohol abuse(abuse ...not refrain from touching it at all...anything in moderation is acceptable)
you sound insecure yourself.u think if they get their rights ur right will be reduced ?...get hold of urself...

Well said Jovial! I visited india a few months ago and unclultured straight men kept making sexual gestures and touching their crotches when my beautiful girlfriends walked past them, is that not abnormal and distrubing to a tourist? At least the gay men walk around minding their own bussiness. People really need to open their eyes and see the world. India will never progress, if the attitude of the people will never change. Go Mr Menon.
