Homosexuality is natural

*Note: This is my first debate in this site, so if there is something off, make sure to inform me. Homosexuality is one of the most controversial issues today, and in this debate, I wish to further explore whether homosexuality is natural or originates from other elements. It is quiet clear that the topic title is the strongest foundation of LGBT rights, it give it the right to exist within the Civil Rights Movement. But this requires discrimination or a "Victim Status" which is achieved in case the topic title is a fact. I, for one, don't believe the topic title is true. Therefore, the other side of the debate must support it. --- Opening statement: The LGBT rights movement efficiently rode the stream of the Civil Rights movements since the 70s, and changed the concept of homosexuality. This is evident by the percentage of homosexuals who believed that they were "Born this way". When Alfred Kinsey surveyed 1700 homosexual, about 9% claimed they were born homosexual. (1) And in 1970 A. P. Bell and M. S. Weinberg surveyed 979 gays and the survey produced a similar percentage. (2) However, when the Paul Cameron Group made a survey of 147 random samples in 1983, 35% of them believed they were born that way. (3) I'd bet the percentage is higher today. This marks a triumph of the LGBT rights movement, But... Does that makes the claims true? It is quiet obvious that the claim provided political stepping stone, so unless good proofs are provided to establish a theory, then it is one of those political lies that attempt to disguise semi-theories as facts, which usually come with ridiculing or criticizing the opposition for even challenging this "fact". In short, a propaganda. The existence of a "Homosexual Agenda" is true as I will show in a minute, but it is important to notice that it is every sexual orientation's goal to normalize they behavior and to remove their stigma. Just look at any *insert sexual orientation* right group, they'll say "We can't help it, I was born this way!" One may argue that the APA (American Psychiatric Association) had removed homosexuality from the mental disorder list. (Which was achieved after storming conferences and lobbying) However, issues arise when you examine their policy (4), their view on all form of paraphila, which would include pedophilia, necrophilia and urolagnia is that they are not considered mental disorders unless they cause distress of interpersonal problems. So basically, if the guy (say pedophilia) sleeps without batting an eye and have no regrets about his actions, then he is mentally healthy and a normal person, not an actual paraphilia. Such claims are not only morally false, they have no scientific basis, so a seemingly flawed view solely based on feelings can be dismissed. And I wouldn't take people who aren't sure what they are saying seriously. (5) As for the Homosexual Agenda existence here are some quotes: "Ten percent is not enough! Recruit! Recruit! Recruit!" -Lesbian avengers moto (6) 1-Talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible 2-Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers 3-Give homosexual protectors a just cause 4-Make gays look good 5-Make the victimizers look bad 6-Get funds from corporate America (7) "Lets face it we want to indoctrinate children.", "let"s face it"that"s a lie." "We want educators to teach future generations of children to accept queer sexuality. In fact, our very future depends on it," (8) -Daniel Villarreal I could include more proofs of Homosexual Agenda, like what Steve Warren's "Warning to the Homophobes," The Advocate, Sept. 1, 1987, p. 29. And the demands in the Gay Rights Platform created at the National Coalition of Gay Organizations Convention held in Chicago in 1972.

But these show that the LGBT movement wasn't peaceful, thus the victim status is nullified. An other tactic is using the media to focus on the few homosexual hate crimes. all hate crimes must be punished, but in this case, it is exaggerated. According to the 2011 FBI hate crime report: http://www.fbi.gov... 1508 total sexual orientation hate crimes, excluding intimidation and simple assault (pushing) we have about 637 violent hate crimes. It is no low number, but when you compare it to the hundreds of thousands of violent hate crimes each year it is an extremely tiny percentage. Last i heard there were about 500,000 rapes every year in the US. Where is the real epidemic then? It can be insulting when the issue is compared to what black people experienced for example, they are federally protected by law, making the issue an act of propaganda. And to put it to rest, according to NCAVP which is a pro-homosexual organization: http://avp.org... The reported domestic violence among homosexuals in 2011 is about 3930. So statistically, 3930>1508 which means homosexuals were 260.6% more likely to receive violence amongst themselves than immature haters. These should be enough evidence to proof the existence of the homosexual agendas which opens the door for publicizing false information. I shall explore whether homosexuality is natural or not next. -R1 will be the opening statement and acceptance of challenge. -The main arguments shall be presented in R2, although missed information or evidence can be added in R3. -Refutation should be the main focus of R3 and R4. Thank you for accepting the challenge in advance, and good luck to us both.
