if you support open displays of homosexuality, you support public nudity..are you willing to accept..PN?

Question

Homosexuality is fine...but if you support open displays of homosexuality, you are allowing innappropriate public behaviour that might make people uncomfortable to the same level of public nudity.....some reserved gays find openly gay people equally as uncomfortable as we find it when we see public nudity.

Should we not support public displays of homosexuality....that can cause psychological damage to youngsters with effects that are argueably just as bad as public nudity. Furthermore, public displays of homosexuality lends to homosexuality propaganda...which can cause severe damage in procreation....this is similar to abortion in that you are denying the right of life to those who might have otherwise been born.......should we really allow a propaganda that supports the denying of life to others? should we deny or give the right to life depending on propaganda?

If we accept open displays of homosexuality and the discomfort it causes to some...Then, abiding by human rights,

should we not allow, in fairness, public nudity, because it causes the same discomfort in some people..

should we be bias to who should be uncomfortable unfairly simply based on our fears to be labeled as homophobes?

Furthermore.....openly gay people should be put in jail...not because they are gay, but because they 'annoying'...or display 'inappropriate social behaviors' that may cause others to be severely uncomfortable..just to the level of public nudity...

we should not discriminate discomfort based on whether we are scared to be labeled homophobes or not...Otherwise you are not moral at all....but just a flake...and we then, logically, don't support any morals at all..
morals arn't anything unless you pay price for them when its necessary...

In other words...public nudity causes discomfort in people...so we do not allow it.

Open displays of homosexuality causes discomfort in people to the same level in some people as PN....but we allow it..

This is unfair, because we are putting standards based on our fear of being labeled homophobes, and not for actually standing for those standards...therefore, just being a flake and having absolutely no credibility and against human rights...

because you are placing human rights to the whims of not your principles...but your fear..

and therefore you don't stand for anything but 'pussypower' This seems to not be very correct.

or....worthy of respect.

krishna...we live in a democracy....I am sure YOU would find two guys kissing in a park more innapropriate than a women and a man....most probably....I make this assertion because the majority of the United States is heterosexual...Therefore, since we live in a democracy, the norms of society should be based on what the majority of society finds appropriate or innapropriate...

I think if a little kid in a park finds 2 men kissing, that is bit more inappropriate than seeing simply a guy naked..

such things are traumatizing..And I think it could probably cause psychological damage...especially..if say, one guy has a beard and is dressed like santa clause and the other guy is wearing a beakini....you know what I am saying...

that's just a bit more disturbing and weird...than simply being naked (o no) ...don't you think?

Pudding kat...I am not a christian....

and morals stand whether your religious or not...I think you would agree..

puddy tat...srry...I don't think it really matters...the inanity of name selection in general and your views show a lack of worth anyway.

kashayla B..

I don't think most people concider JUST holding hands with another women socially unnacceptable...But...if you kiss, if you act in innappropriate ways (and I think everyone in America knows how 'open' openly gay means)...well, that's another matter...ya know..

if say, you go to the beach in a bikini and you start making out with another women with a beard....that's a tiny bit more disturbing than just taking off your shirt.

If openly gay people just held their hands....it would be another matter.....dresses...behaviour....hmmm...those are pretty bad ....man.

Answer 1

I've heard about public display of affection, but what's PD of homosexuality?
What about 'open displays of heterosexuality'? If heteros can kiss in the park and it's okay, why not others, eh?
And what's this connection with public display of nudity?
Do heteros kissing in the park make visions of unclothed adams and eves dance before your eyes? no?
Rights and priviliges for all. If heteros can display affection publicly, why not the minorities? If Public display is offensive, then it should be a no-no across the board.
No discrimination.
'The discomfort it causes to some' you say, so the discomfort of a few is to be used to ban the comfort of the many?
WEIRD!

Answer 2

Actually, I'd come at this rather differently because I do think that public nudity should be okay. What I find interesting is how much more successful homosexuals have been in fighting for and finding acceptance of their choices than have nudists. If we roll back the clock say 40 years hostility to homosexuals was more intensive than to nudists. Gays were bashed, nudists just thought of as rather goofy. Today gays have won widespread acceptance and legal protections while laws about nudity are just about where they were and nudity still looked on as at best eccentric. In fact, about the only people who have with any success pushed a public nudity agenda have been gay nudists. In Toronto for instance the Gay Pride parade includes a, small, group of nude men.

Answer 3

I have nothing to do with the public school system, so I can only speak to my own feelings on this. The best research I've seen is that cross culturally 6 to 10% of all populations tend to be homosexual. This and other similar studies seem to indicate that homosexuality is a genetic predisposition. Being homosexual is a perfectly natural and normal thing. So it seems natural and normal that public schools would accept this and allow for it. The belief that homosexuality is wrong is based on a very specific interpretation of the bible. I've heard of others interpreting it so that homosexuality is okay. So, in your heart, ask yourself What Would Jesus Do Jesus preached love and understanding. Acting with hatred against someone in the name of Jesus does not make sense. Not only that, but these days acting out of hatred is often times illegal, and hate speech is not guaranteed by the constitution.

Answer 4

Mild public displays between gay people, such as holding hands or a kiss on the cheek, does not bother me. But I can't speak for anyone else.
Public displays of affection should be kept to a minmum, whether the couple is hetero- or homosexual. It's just respectful not to be all over each other when others are around.

Answer 5

So your question is- should we allow homosexuals to be free or should we discriminate against them because they do not believe the same way we do?

Homosexuality and public nudity are completely different. Most people don't like open displays of heterosexuality- why are we so concerned with open displays of homosexuality? Why not say open displays of sexuality?

Oh and while we're at it, let's ban masturbation. I'm sure that will be successful.

Answer 6

are you serious? you really think that public displays of affection between homosexuals are the same as incidents of public nudity? come on! be serious. that is hardly the same thing.

and i'm tired of people using children to be anti-homosexual. if you want to be bigoted & hateful towards other people, do it yourself, don't hide behind "protecting children."

and not every straight couple has or even wants kids. so what? should we take their relationship rights away too?

there is always going to be something in the world to make someone uncomfortable. deal with it. we all have to.

Answer 7

This is the dumbest questions and by far the most despicable I have ever heard in my life! You don't have a problem with hetersoxual PDA do you? So, what's the problem if it's two members of the same sex? If you're worried about your kids, talk to them about it. If you think it's wrong, it's up to you to tell them that. It's all how you raise them. Hell, plenty of families raise their kids to hate gays! How dare you compare homosexuality to public nudity? It's not ever close! I COULD walk around with no shirt on, but, i don't because I have morals. But I'll be dam*ed if someone is going to tell me that I can't gold my girlfriend's hand! I don't know how you managed to put the topic of abortion in this bogus question, but you're just making yourself sound really stupid! I don't care if someone doesn't like me because of my sexuality. If they have something to say to me, let them say it! I have pride in myself, otherwise I'd be straight! Nothing you, or anyone else can say will make all of the gays disappear. We have the same rights as you do! It's not wrong for me to walk hand-in-hand with the same sex...It's wrong for people like you to put me down and tell me I shouldn't! It's just like President Bush miraculously becoming a good president...IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

How is public displays of homosexuality on the same level as public nudity?

Why is it inapporpriate for gay people to be affectionate in public when it is not inappropriate for straight people? There are no laws that homosexuals can't be affectionate in public. But there are laws against public nudity.

Answer 9

If public displays of affection (either heterosexual or homosexual) annoy you then don't look. I am not comfortable with either, but that is my problem. I can turn my head. Are you saying that heterosexual displays of affection are teaching children to have sex and have children while homosexual affection is not? Good for homosexuals then because there are enough unwanted children on earth. Why mention abortion? This is a heterosexual issue, rarely a homosexual issue.

Answer 10

But here's the trick, I do not support public displays of affection in any manner, shape of context, especially when it is demonstrative.

Public nudity, save for nude beaches, is off the plate, whether you are hetero, homo, pan, onmi or whatever.

If you want to stick your tongue down someone's throat, save it for home, not the crosstown bus.

I do not care to see your butt cheeks, no matter how fine of a bedonkadonk you have, regarless of gender or orientation
