If it's not a choice and homosexuals are......?

Question

born with the sexual feelings and orentations that they have, would that mean that pedophiles are also born with their sexual preferences? If we allow homosexual marriage, will that not soon lead to someone demanding to have the right to be allowed to marry a child?

Answer 1

Marriage is about consent between two people, what you are proposing is a choice made by one side and imposed upon a minor. You delude yourself into thinking that you have found some logical flaw in the rights of gays to marry, but you have just made yourself look a fool.

Answer 2

The reason why one is allowed and the other isn`t is because two homosexuals are both old enougth to engage in sexual acts and have total free will whether or not they want to. But Pedophiles are wanting sex with people who are too young to make that kind of decision. It would be like allowing people under 12 to smoke or drink, and allowing them into adult movies, but is worse still because they are probably being taken advantage off by the older person. So it should be illegal and hopefully will remain so.

Answer 3

I might be out of my element here but I will tell you homosexuality is not a born thing, I have read that 87 percent of male homosexuals were at a time when they were youg ,molested by other males ,this is trauma, I believe the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible is eerily coming true, I mean why in heavens name does anyone want to TEACH first graders about homosexuality? We all learn about it ,eventualyy , but our children MUST be protected on this exposion that they are too young to understand, GOD CREATED MAN AND WOMAN! Woman is made to be a receiver men are the promoters , we are in each other corresponded. Period. Children abuse in either form is intolerable for all of us ,therefore ,where are our voices? I feel hurt that so many boys have and are sexually abused , this is what triggers same sex thing, and I believe the perpetrators should be castrated! These are violent acts toward a chid who is defensless.,

Answer 4

Certainly a poor taste question as well as being an apples and oranges argument.

The solution to this problem is simple, ban all forms of marriage.

What is the real reason behind marriage? To vow that you will love, support and be with each other for the rest of your lives and for economic tax and insurance benefits.

Please don't tell me its because you want to convey your love in the eyes of god, because:

A) He already knows
B) Doesn't care
C)If this is truly a holy union from god, then shouldn't we make divorce illegal?

If you really love someone, you are going to stay with that person anyway and there is always other ways to handle economic compensation.

The only real problem in this world is two thousand plus years of religious dogma written by men in a different time and climate that has been endlessly ingrained into our minds since birth.

We need to stop fearing hell and retribution so much and just get on living. Common sense choices for common sense living, thats what I say.

Answer 5

I heard Rush Limbaugh make that same comment about 10 years ago. It's still as idiotic today as it was then.
The answer to the question is homosexual marriage-between 2 consenting ADULTS-just like heterosexual marriages. You can demand to marry a child all you want, but a child is not a consenting ADULT.

Answer 6

believe me, that will NEVER happen. I will make sure of it. Gays are cool, but pedophiles suck!!! (no pun intended.) See, gays and straights can be pedophiles. So what, should we also ban straight marriage? Pedophiles might be born, but some are made through bad experiences. Besides, what kind of parent would allow an adult to marry their child???

Answer 7

This is all my opinion, so it's probably total crap, but here it goes: ...
Humans recognize each other by recognizing aspects. They see legs, arms, hair, torsos, faces, etc etc. And there's also mannerisms and behavior. If a man is straight and he sees what he believes to be a woman, his natural instinct is to approach her. If he finds out that it is in fact a man, he's repulsed. To say that his mistake makes him gay is false. So why did he make this mistake? Because he saw aspects of what he believed to be female. Now if a man is born and grows up with these female aspects, is it a malfunction (like 6 fingers on one hand), or simply a variance (like being very tall or short)? I believe it's subjective. If you feel your nose is too big and you want it cut short, I personally believe that while it's a personal choice, it's a mistake. However if you're born with a nose that's bigger than your leg, of course you should do something about it. Homosexuality is sort of like that. Some people are born with a strong sexual drive, some go thru life undistracted by even the hottest models. Often it's the men who have this drive (pushed on by testosterone) and the women who need to be convinced with, say, dinner and a movie, that this is enjoyable, or at least a decent trade off. But many men have only mild sexual drive, and many many woman drool at the sight of a beefcake poster. Humanity and sexual attraction is fluid and grey, much like physical aspects, like height, strength, body hair, etc. What we recognize as Human sexual attraction is an instinct that has a purpose in general, but when this attraction leans toward the same sex, it doesn't have such utility. They have to adopt or be inseminated. Does that in itself make intimacy between the partners wrong? You have two people consensually enjoying each other to what ever degree of intimacy (emotional and/or physical). That act might repulse some, but the act itself does not effect anyone except for the parties involved, and there's no danger or harm any more than there would be for heterosexual relations. Should they consider these feelings "love" and should they be married? Marriage is an institution designed to make feelings people already have and families that just naturally get created to be "official." So saying two men or two women can't officially be in love or have a family doesn't serve any purpose or help anyone in any way.

So back to pedophilia. How does it happen? Is it natural and/or instinctual? Most of us recognize what is child and what is adult by aspects such as proportions, height, voice, behavior (although many adults seem to be grey in this regard). If someone recognizes what most of us see as child and finds that attractive sexually, is that a malfunction? Is it simply a variance? If we're strictly talking about the feelings of the pedophile, then it's possible one could argue the matter. But allowing people to follow these instincts can only have one result. Injury. Permanent injury. Injury to the younger person's body, to their reproductive system, to their bowels, Injury to their spirit and emotions, injury to their character, injury to their logic, injury to their perceptions of sexuality, and inevitably they themselves perpetrate this injury to other children because their perception of what is sexual, what is normal, what is attraction, has been injured. It's terrible, it's reprehensible. It's inconsiderate. Even if there's no sexual acts going on, you're still talking about manipulating the mind and emotions of a little girl or a little boy. When they grow up, it will tarnish any relationship they have. Many will hardly have the ability to have a relationship. To imply that this is something that can be labeled marriage is insane.

The only thing homosexual relationships have in common with something like that is how they effect unrelated parties, people who can't see beyond how "icky" they feel inside knowing two women are kissing, seeing two men dancing romantically, knowing that somewhere in the world people are having gay sex.

It's my opinion that pedophilia is a malfunction, largely because of what following these instincts leads to. Heterosexual sexuality serves the purpose of procreation. Homosexual sexuality is intimate (or not XP) and can be very intimate, but doesn't serve any purpose other than enjoying the act and each other. SO WHAT! Sexual relations with someone who's 16 or 13 or 8 might seem fine for the adult involved in the act, but to the other person, it's a violation and permanent scarring.

I wish I could sum this up better but I have things to do. Anyway, that's my two cents. Sorry it's so long winded but I felt it needed to be said.

Answer 8

Okay this is just dumb.

Being homosexual is something you can not control and is not in any way harming anyone unless you are homophobic and that is just your problem for not turning around and minding your own business.
Being a pedophile is extremely harmful and a SICKNESS that needs to be treated.
Hope this helps

Answer 9

In a gay marriage, both sides are consensual. The same definitely cannot be said in a pedophilic case!

Answer 10

Yes, of course. Pedophiles are born to molest children. Rednecks are born goat phuckers. Bi-sexuals are born to screw anything. Lesbians are born carpet layers. Give them all equal rights and declare anarchy the new religion of all deviants. Let them eat vasoline!!!!!
