So I was watching X-Men 3 for the 5th time, and was wondering what you thought.
If a company sponsored by the government created a cure for being Gay, do you think people would take it? Do you think it might be forced on people. Or given to all babies at birth? What about a cure for being of another race? Where it makes everone white?
Why single out a group of people and hound them, beat them, decry their existence, deprive them of jobs, for the sake of being different.

Yes they have done psycho experiments where they created aversions to homosexuality, but that is not a positive way to deal with the issue.
My personal feeling these days.
I believe that gays and lesbians should be just as accountable for living decent and morally responsible sex lives as everyone else, and should be given the space to do so without conflict or prejudice. The idea of say, gay men meeting in bathrooms and parks is as nasty to me as if it were straight people seeking out seedy public sex. I am not saying GLBT's have to all be monogamous or binary-partnered or anything, except that we should just think, everyone, about how our sex and personal lives reflect on society, affect families, and create a positive life for everyone.
I got disgusted with what I felt was the excessive focus on sex in GLBT culture, like it was the only thing everyone wanted to talk about all the time: either sex, or gay rights.
I am one of the very strange bizarre people of the world who still identifies as bisexual (even though I am married and have been dormant in that area for ages) but believes in sexual continence and modesty. I don't condemn other people for not believing these things but I always resented being lumped in with the same category of people who went around waving their asses in public parades, hitting on married men, and decorating their apartments with enema bags and dildoes. Since straight culture is accepted as society's "Default Mode", not a minority, there is less need for the distinction or less tendency to feel resentful.
When we don't know a group of people, prejudices are easily formed based on the loudest and most shockingly outrageous people in the group. I just always cringed when people had those prejudices because I DON'T identify with the promiscuous and sexually fixated aspect of gay culture. I tried... believe me... but I was living a lie, it just wasn't "me". I started to just think "This is stupid".
And the thing I found is that there is a lot of cohesion in GLBT culture. Especially ESPECIALLY lesbian culture!! If you don't love to hang out in lesbian bars, kiss in public (which I don't even with MEN... I hate PDA's), walk around naked on a beach and have group massages, you're somehow a traitor to the culture or something...
Maybe I just hung out with the wrong people [COOL]
But I digress. MY POINT IS...
NO it would not WORK becuase being GAY is not a BIOLOGICAL TENDENCY ALONE
It is also EMBEDDED IN OUR PSYCHOLOGY. EVERYONE'S. Some people more than others. You cannot rip something out of nature that is naturally there. Even people who are castrated, still feel sex desire on some level. [WINK]
seems like the "theme" of my life these days, is realizing that I can be religious and also thinking for myself, unlike what many people say.
I will probably blog about this tonight because it's consuming so much of my brain volume these days.
I always thought being gay was OK. I never ever had moral issues with it until I started to get religious. Or rather I never had moral issues but the people around me did so I started to feel guilty, and convinced myself that I had transcended it because I had, by practicing a spiritual path, come more into my true feminine self.
Well, screw that. My true feminine self is bisexual and gender-shapeshifting and androgynous with the ability to be feminine, but not defined by that solely. And for crying out loud... I believe God has a place for me in the world. And for anyone who is just being themselves fully.
I believe that spirituality is way more complex than people or books make it out to be. I am in the process these days of figuring out how to integrate my more conservative, traditional religious beliefs, which I feel in my heart have truth, with myself, which is not conservative and hurts when I try to be.
I do not believe God wants us to suffer and feel repressed in the process of self-realization.
I really don't know why more people just don't mind their own business, anyway. [THUMBDOWN] The people who are most busy condemning others for their sexuality or lifestyle issues usually have a bunch of them themselves that they don't want to confront! [ROLLEYES]
