I have been told that when a person swallows semen following oral sex, the digestive system cannot digest it. Is this true. I have read of a guy being taken to an ER and his stomach pumped after taking 28 loads of semen and becoming ill. If awe humans cannot digest it, what happens to it?

Or to have these matters discussed in a classroom. Regardless of whether or not you agree with homosexuality it exists..it always has...it is a part of life. Personally I would rather be honest with my kids about what to expect of life, than having them find out a lot of misinformation in a back alley somewhere. I think that children deserve the truth. Anything less and you are creating a fairy tale world for them. After all, most kids even stop believing in Santa at some point.

People say being gay is a choice. That may or not be right. You see, all organisms mate with the opposite sex. Also humans too. However, if being straight is a normal thing, isn't being gay abnormal? Probably a chromosome gone bad or something. No offense. People are born with it, and even though they say being gay is not a choice, it might be later in the future and they find out if it is a genetic mishap, or they find a way to change sexuality.
My next point is choice. They say it's not a choice. But I think it is. You can choose to be whoever you are. It's just that they prefer to be their sexual orientation rather that deny it. If I was gay, but however, was "No, I don't want to be gay. I'll stick straight." I'll be straight. I'm straight, by the way. Gays find it hard to control their sexuality, or just impossible. It might be impossible, which then, takes choice out of the question.

come to the LGBT section?
I know that there are quite a lot of people who support the LGBT community and their feedback is always welcome but I really want to know why do the more hateful or judgemental individuals troll the board. Just be honest, say what you think. If you seek to 'convert' us, why. Why do you care so much what we do in our lives, it's not like it really impacts on you does it?

I hope I get some decent answers, thanks for your time.

You look at other countries that we have emulated and they have been/are on the path of genocide and self destructive patterns that constantly reoccur. We put so much emphasis on the color of skin (something we invariably cannot change) and ridicule and waste time arguing over inherent differences that don't exist, and have never exclusively been proven to exist. We come up with ideologies that are false to make ourselves feel better about those differences and instead of judging individuals based on merit and character we again form biases based on ethnocentrism. We are bigoted, we suffer from superiority complexes, and we fail to utilize the time and funds we have to help those in need. Instead we buy the most expensive forms of utility we can afford disregarding our part to the environment and to our fellow man, and instead offer the blatant excuse of "it's my money I can do what I want to with it because this is America... : |

If it didn't work, then it wouldn't happen. What possible reason would people think that the plumbing doesn't function, when obviously it functions just fine for those of us who are so inclined? And why would they reach such a conclusion when gay folks don't perform any activities that aren't common among straight folks, too?

Why does this "plumbing" argument against homosexuality make sense to anyone?

When I was in a third to 5th grades, I kept having a crush on every single girl that I wanted to date, kiss, whatever. As I started to grow older, I was exposed to some sexual relations with my distant cousins and neighbors who were all boys. At first it was gross, but I quickly got used to it, because it was all "part of the game". When I was about 13, 14, I remember a strong attraction towards men. At 16 I wanted to date one. I started studying sexuality and quickly adopted the label "gay". I dated guys, broke up with them many times, have been in abusive relationships and never got what I needed out of them. Than, at about 21, I started to feel like I didn't want to do anything with guys anymore, but the idea of me being "gay" kept me from discovering my attraction towards girls which I've kinda left at my 5th grade. Now, I'm 24 and I feel grossed out by all the things I ever did with guys, and feel an extremely strong attraction towards women. No one believes me, but I'm not gay!

when one says that they see the act of homosexual sex as, for lack of a more politically correct word, gross? I have nothing against a person's sexual orientation and have actively supported the civil rights of homosexuals. But while I absolutely have no intention to offend, I do have an adverse reaction to the thought of homosexual sex. While I would like to be indifferent, it is my natural reaction. Does that offend you? If it does, I sincerely apologize.

I know that if they ever had the power to do it they would certainly attempt to remove all my civil rights and criminalise me and to make any expression of my sexual orientation illegal, am I wrong to think this?

Lavenders Looking Out for Gay Seniors

Despite their name, San Leandro’s Lavender Seniors aren’t a group
of
gray-haired ladies who lunch or get together to have a knitting circle.

Rather, they are an activist group whose mission is to improve the
quality of life of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)
people
over the age of 55.

Both a political group and social organization, the Lavender Seniors
were formed over a decade ago when a group of gay seniors organized to
lobby in local government for representation.

Meeting in restaurants, the senior group quickly grew from a handful of
members to several hundred. They meet a couple of times a month
throughout Alameda County, giving voice to a segment of the population
that many people forget exists.

“I was recently at a conference and someone said to me, ‘Oh, I
never
really thought about gay people being old.’ It’s like, did you
think we
disappeared?” said Lavender Seniors care coordinator Pat Cull with a
laugh.

“As the baby boomer generation gets older, we’re seeing a lot of
LGBT
seniors with failing health with no family, some people lose their
homes
when their partner dies,” said Cull. “People are forgetting about
this
part of the population and we’re giving it a voice.”

Cull is especially passionate about the group’s Friendly Visitor
program
that pairs homebound elderly LGBT individuals with sympathetic
volunteers.

“A lot of people from this generation never came out of the
closet,”
said Cull. “And even if they did, sometimes they go back in the
closet
because they’ve become dependent on other people for care.”

The Friendly Visitor volunteer helps these seniors with everything from
doctor’s visits to grocery shopping, or they may just visit and talk.

Despite living in the traditionally liberal-minded Bay Area, Cull says
that LGBT seniors still face discrimination on a daily basis.

“Even in Berkeley, we’ve had our rainbow flags stolen, our posters
ripped down. People are still afraid to come out,” she said. “When
you
live in the closet, you depend on a small group of friends.

And when you get older, that group of friends starts to die out. These
people are alone and that makes them sad, nervous, and afraid and
that’s
no way to live.”

Friendly Visitor is just one of the Lavender Seniors many ongoing
social
programs. The group also holds informational meetings on health-care
options, potluck dinners, and fun activities.

All are welcome to the group’s next regular meeting, at 7 p.m.. on
July
11. For more information on the meeting and about the Lavender Seniors,
call 667-9655 or visit www.lavenderseniors.org.

No one really seems to get upset about racism towards white people- why isn't it considered as important as racism towards minorities?
