The LGBT community is receiving societal delusion therapy. Delusions help gays cope with being gay

Yes, they are a sexual minority, however you completely did not read (or pretended not to read) what I wrote on the difference between homosexuality and incest, beastialit and pedophiles. One includes two consenting people meaning they have both agreed to have sex with each other. The others lack consent. Most cases of incest are based on one dominating party coersing the other party which is usually the submissive one, because of their authority over them. Beastiality - do I even have to mention it? A goat can't give consent for you to have sex with it, so it's not a consensual sexual act. Pedophilia - the child is being coersed into sexual acts in the best case scenario, in the words case it's straight out raped and possibly killed. I personally have nothing against polygamists and would be open to a discussion on whether or not polygamist marriages should be legal, but that's not the topic at hand I'm not offended that you compared homosexuals to other sexual minorities. I simply do not a agree that homosexuality is equal to what ammounts to rape (seeing as one party in these cases is not able to consent or coersion is being used by the other party) in all but one of the examples you gave. It's a disingenuous comparison and I have a very low threshold for such things. Rape: noun 1.unlawful sexual intercourse or any other sexual penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth of another person, with or without force, by a sex organ, other body part, or foreign object, without the consent of the victim. 2. Natural reproduction is a heterosexual act. Yet we already have in vitro, surrogates, sperm donation, things that are used by hetero couples to have children as well as by homosexual couples should they choose not to adopt. And yet, they can have children of their own, so the argument that homosexuals can not 'develop life, sustain life and continue the existence of life itself.' is clearly a false one. Considering that both homosexuals and heterosexuals can have children and that today we have ways of helping people have children that are relatively new and did not exist once upon a time, it's ridiculous to argue which is more 'valuable', since both can have offspring. Homosexuals existed in ancient times and humans didn't go extinct, many have had children because having children was a must at that point. Right now it's a choice, but we've seen that homosexuals CAN in fact propagate the species should they choose to. 'Do you really believe the very existence of humans is insignificant': I've never said that and you're trying to put words in my mouth. Heterosexuality + unsafe sex = LIFE : Not always, plus ANY unsafe sex can bring about STD's, they are not limited to homosexuals. This has the POTENTIAL to create life, but it doesn't mean that is always the outcome. Sometiems it's no life and an STD. Homosexuality + unsafe sex = DEATH and STD epidemics: Not always, plenty of gay people do not have STD's. In many African countries a large ammount of women have AIDS, not due to homosexual relations, so does heterosexuality + unsafe sex = DEATH and STD epidemic there? You're trying to paint all homosexuals with one broad stroke while painting heterosexuals with an equally broad one. Gay people - STD's and death. Straight people - Life and puriry. While ignoring the fact that straight people get STD's and not every straight person who's had unsafe sex creates life. 3. I'm talking about sexual education, not math. Sexual education differs from state to state and even from county to county. In places where abstinence only education is in place there are more teen pregnancies and more STD's. Thr access to contraception such as condoms is also an issue. 'half of all sexually transmitted infections (estimated at 18.9 million annually) occur in people under age 25' http://www.advocatesforyouth.org... It's a matter of culture, education and accessability to contraception. All people have sexual desires, teenagers are brimming with hormones and have a desire for sex which is natural. If teens and young people live in a socium where sex is a taboo topic and they haven't been taught proper sex ed, they are far more likely to not use condoms or be detered from going to get some. And the stigma against homosexuality adds to the already existing one towards sex during the teen years. Many young people are reckless - excessive drinking, recreational drug use, many one night stands. Combine that with a lack of proper sex education in the early teen years and a stigma from society about your choice of sex, the desire to rebel and to live in excess and you have the proper conditions for the transmissions of STD's. I'd agree that anal intercourse is a high risc factor for contracting the HIV virus. But the issue is still about proper contraception use and sexual education more than who has sex with whom. 'In other words, the human anatomy does not respond equally to homosexuality. ' : The human anatomy does not respond well to unprotected sexual acts, including unprotected anal intercourse, which is practiced by hererosexuals as well. Again - you're trying to paint homosexuality as intrinsically bad and ignore that heterosexuals also partake in such behaviours. The health issues should be addressed, of course, but you're not addressing the end result and not even bothering to look at reasons why the result is as it is. I've noticed that in your other debates as well. 'Therefore, homosexuality is in fact inferior to heterosexuality.' : That is your opinion, it's not a conclusion supported by anything. Behaviours like anal sex are seen in both homosexuals and heterosexuals, while more often in one group, but are seen in both. A proper thing to say is that certain sexual acts which both groups do are a higher risk than others. You ignore the fact that heterosexuals also have anal sex. 4. I've already stated that I do not agree with the statement that homoprobes= latent homosexuals. However I explained that this is mostly used to piss off homophobes rather than make gay people 'feel better'. Since I already agreed that this is a bad argument in the previous round, I will not address it any further. However, I will address the 'delusion therapy' claim. Therapy is the treatment of disease or disorders, as by some remedial, rehabilitating, or curative process. Delusions typically occur in the context of neurological or mental illness, while the point of therapy is to treat these delusions, because they are not a healthy behaviour. Delusional therapy is an oxymoron. Feeding the delusions of someone is not theraputic. And I've yet to seen any delusion propagated by society to 'help homosexuals cope'. All I've seen from my oponent is his premise that 'homosexuals are bad' (couldn't have guessed from his nickname) and providing his own opinions on the matter, as opposed to facts. What I'm getting from the whole debate is that my opponent just wants to prove that homosexuals are bad by default and that's it.
