Debate: What do you think about homosexuals? And about homosexuality?
Side: Normal

No. The "norm" is both heterosexuality and homosexuality. Tell me, what's the difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals besides the loving and sexual desires?You have a point. How this never happened, I'm not sure what would happen. And since I don't have a formed opinion about necrophilia, I won't argue.No, we don't. But animals are below the humans in the food chain, so it's survival and natural control of population. I agree that we are abusing, but this isn't the topic.Yes, I agree with you. I think smoking shouldn't be legal, and alcohol just in small doses with a great supervision. Unfortunately, now is too late, because forbid them will just cause health problems in addicts and stimulate the illegal traffic. But it's curious. The way you say seems like you support such behaviors, like necrophilia and bestiality. If you support them, why not support homosexuality? If you don't support, ignore this comment.Exactly. Homosexuality is considered a social taboo, but without reasons. That's why homosexuals suffer a lot. And, how I've said before, homosexuals aren't a "deviate", but the "norm", as well as heterosexuals.No, it's not the same thing. How I've said, necrophilia and bestiality are fetishes, purely sexual. So, they could be miserable if you limit their desires. But not in the same level that homosexuals. You might be thinking, as well as many other people, that homosexuality is just anal sex. But, as well as heterosexuals, homosexuals can love. And if you limit them, you'll not just depriving him from sex, you'll be depriving him from love. Imagine if you fall in love for someone but it's completely impossible to happen something. Actually, this happens many times when homosexuals fall in love with heterosexuals.You didn't understand me. I'm not saying that everything that isn't the majority is normal. I'm just saying that just because something is below in the numbers, it doesn't mean that it is abnormal. And yes, my analogy is correct. You're saying that homosexuals are abnormal just because there are more heterosexuals than homosexuals. So, why not say that be a woman is abnormal, since there are more men than women?You didn't insult me, but mocked my arguments. I respect your opinion and you should respect mine. This is an argumentation. You try convincing me of you point of view and I do the same with you. Or you respect my opinion, doesn't matter how ridiculous are my arguments (even if I say "homosexuality is right because elephants are pink"), or you shouldn't answer.P.S.: I'm not sure yet if you're homophobic. If you are, think about it: how homosexuals bother you? Besides, more homosexuals results in more single women. Again, if you aren't homophobic, disregard this P.S.
Debate: What do you think about homosexuals? And about homosexuality?
Side: Abnormal

First, we should define the word "normal." According to the fine folks at Merriam-Webster, "normal" can be defined as the standard, regular pattern, or average development. Logically, this debate should end right now, but I need to elaborate. Saying homosexuality is not a choice has the same principals as saying murderers are not choosing to be murders, and rapists are not choosing to be rapists. Do you have further explanation as to why there are only two genders on this planet, and why those two genders can NATURALLY reproduce? I have no problem with people being happy and prospering in life together. Our Constitution was created for that specific reason. We are free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. I do, however, have a problem with homosexuals attempting to get the public to believe it is normal to be attracted to the same sex, because it is obviously not normal and is not following regularities. Is homosexuality the standard? No. Is homosexuality typical? No, it is not. Therefore, it is abnormal.

Its abnormal because it goes against nature.Can two homosexuals (of the same gender) reproduce? No.Does homosexuality bring any added benefits to life? No.Is it a dangerous lifestyle? Yes.However, homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted throughout the world and, therefore, can be considered "natural" because it is more of a "norm" than in past years.Homosexuals on the other hand are great people and I love being friends with a number of them.
Debate: What do you think about homosexuals? And about homosexuality?
Side: Normal

Its abnormal because it goes against nature.How can this statement be true when there are countless amount of animals that take part in homosexual acts?Can two homosexuals (of the same gender) reproduce? No.And this is important because?Does homosexuality bring any added benefits to life? No.Highly debatable, we do not need all people who are created and alive to reproduce in order to continue with our species. And now more than ever it's not necessary. So homosexuals can somewhat help in a sense with population control. People live longer, and are reproducing more. And there's more to reproduce. If there are people who can't reproduce that are more open to admit it, then we won't get overpopulated.Is it a dangerous lifestyle? Yes.LOL, this is a ridiculous claim. I am gay, my lifestyle is far from dangerous. You have a fake image in your mind of how gay people live, but dangerous lifestyles don't just come from homosexuals. How is it dangerous?And you're not a very good friend to these people you claim to be friends with, otherwise you'd know that the life is not dangerous.
Debate: What do you think about homosexuals? And about homosexuality?
Side: Abnormal

Just because other animals do homosexual acts does not mean it is natural. Do other animals have mental illnesses? If they do then are mental illnesses abnormal? How do you define abnormal and natural?If you can't reproduce then it goes against what is natural for sexual relations. The vagina and penis is used for reproduction... the anus is not meant for anything but excreting waste...There is no benefit for the homosexual for being homosexual.This is my response about homosexuality one time...."Actually, being gay has many negative consequences... 60% of male homosexuals had more than 250 lifetime sexual partners... 28% had more than 1000 lifetime sexual partners.... and 79% admitted that more than half of their sexual partners were strangers (The Institution for Sex Research; Understanding the Times student manuel pg. 147). "The average AIDS victim has had 60 different sexual partners in the past twelve months... the average heterosexual male has - throughout his life - from five to nine sex partners" (Dr. William Foege, Director of the Centers for Disease Control). "Yvonne Zipter, a lesbian writing in Chicago's gay journal Windy City Times, in an article entitled "The Disposable Lesbian Relationship," notes that the "lasting lesbian relationship" is a "mythic entity" (Understanding the Times student manuel pg. 147). The current figure is that 70% of Americans withAIDS are male homosexuals or bisexuals. Dr. Bernard J. Klamecki, says that 86% of homosexual males use various drugs to enhance and increase their sexual stimulation. The homosexual is also 3 times more suicidal than heterosexuals. The life expectancy for gays wihtout AIDS is 33 years shorter than hetersexuals.... etc. (Understanding the Times student manuel pg. 148).The life style of gays is not a safe one.... I'm sorry, but you are wrong..."I actually am very good friends with one, if I got married right now, he might end up being one of my groomsmen... And in fact, he enforces my beliefs that it is a dangerous lifestyle....

Its abnormal because it goes against nature.False. Thousands of species exhibit the behavior.Can two homosexuals (of the same gender) reproduce? No.Yes, they can. Simply not with each other.Does homosexuality bring any added benefits to life? No.Its existence necessitates an evolutionary advantage. Scientists have proposed many reasons.Is it a dangerous lifestyle? Yes.Justify this absurd assertion.However, homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted throughout the world and, therefore, can be considered "natural" because it is more of a "norm" than in past years.What? How does social acceptance of something change how often it exists?

'Thousands of species exhibit the behavior'But each of the species has a substantial majority that practice heterosexual sex, so homosexual sex is not the norm if it is the minority behavior in each species.'Yes, they can. Simply not with each other'You deliberately ignored the point of the question, even so, you undermined yourself, if a homosexual has sex with the opposite sex and reproduces, he practiced heterosexual sex.'Its existence necessitates an evolutionary advantage. Scientists have proposed many reasons.'There is no direct evolutionary advantage from homosexual sex, If an Alpha male suddenly began to have sex with other males and not females, his DNA would not be passed on. Give some examples of benefits these 'scientists' have proposed.'What? How does social acceptance of something change how often it exists?'I don't think Lolzors was trying to claim that there is more homosexuality because its more accepted, the levels of homosexuality has probably been a stable percentage for thousands of years.

This was my response earlier: "Just because there are animals that are homosexual does not mean anything... Most male animals will have sex with anything that moves just so it can pass down its genes... there are countless of explanations for this... along with the lines that it could be a mental disorder counting it as "abnormal."You are knit picking. You understood what I was talking about... They cannot reproduce with one another.Such as? If anything it is un-evolutionarily sound for this reason: the psychological factor for evolution is sex. If a man is only attracted to men then that present a problem especially since evolution also states that passing down genes and survival of the fittest is one of the fundamental factors of evolution. If a man cannot pass down his genes because he is not attracted to females presents huge problems... Evolution should be that last thing you should debate with in this argument.This is my response to someone a while back:"Actually, being gay has many negative consequences... 60% of male homosexuals had more than 250 lifetime sexual partners... 28% had more than 1000 lifetime sexual partners.... and 79% admitted that more than half of their sexual partners were strangers (The Institution for Sex Research; Understanding the Times student manuel pg. 147).

For example: interracial couples were considered abnormal at one time. Now they are not considered abnormal.

"Most male animals will have sex with anything that moves just so it can pass down its genes."The studies in question have shown individuals with preference to homosexual behavior. Not not just random one time events.
Debate: What do you think about homosexuals? And about homosexuality?
Side: Normal

Its abnormal because it goes against natureImpossible. Even if you define nature as not man-made, homosexuality does not defy "nature" in any way by its definition.Can two homosexuals (of the same gender) reproduce? No.That doesn't make something unnatural.Does homosexuality bring any added benefits to life? No.To you, maybe not. To others, it may. Is it a dangerous lifestyle? Yes.As dangerous as most other lifestyles. If you go hiking you are partaking in a dangerous act. If you spend thousands of dollars on college you are partaking in a dangerous lifestyle. All subjective.However, homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted throughout the world and, therefore, can be considered "natural" because it is more of a "norm" than in past years.Normality is not the same as natural as I pointed out to Apollo. Something can be "natural" yet not be "normal" and vice-versa (depending on if you view nature as not man-made.)Homosexuals on the other hand are great people and I love being friends with a number of them.If you love being friends with a number of them, I suppose they've brought benefits to your very own life.

All of your points are demonstrably false, save one that's just irrelevant. I'll respond to one such point because you really need to educate yourself before saying these things."Is it a dangerous lifestyle? Yes."The mere fact that heterosexual idiots like you have believed this has caused any and all trends that MIGHT have once agreed with you to turn completely around and statistically show that heterosexuals carry more STD's by percentage than homosexual men. Also, if health is a factor, then being a lesbian is most healthy and should be fully supported by you in every way. The passage of STD's between lesbians rounds down to 0%
Debate: What do you think about homosexuals? And about homosexuality?
Side: Normal

Its abnormal because it goes against nature.Actually, no. People are born with their defined sexual orientations, so it's natural. Besides, cases of homosexuality was registered in more than 300 animal species.Does homosexuality bring any added benefits to life? No.Neither do heterosexuality. They can reproduce? Yes, they can. And so can the homosexuals. Of course not between them, but they can have sexual relations with the opposite sex just for reproduction, not for pleasure. And they always can make in vitro.Is it a dangerous lifestyle? Yes.I don't see your point. If you're referring to anal sex, a lot of heterosexuals make it too, so it can't be considered an exclusive homosexual lifestyle. And even more: if you're referring to AIDS, it can also be transmitted by vaginal sex.However, homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted throughout the world and, therefore, can be considered "natural" because it is more of a "norm" than in past years.It's not a "norm". Homosexuals still suffer from prejudgment, social exclusions and homophobic attacks, being them aggressions or even murder. Besides, it can't be a "norm" because people don't choose to be homosexuals.P.S.: Keep this civil. I admire you for be against homosexuality and still respect homosexuals. There are a really few people in the world like you, trust me.

Thats disputable... my mom's master's thesis for psychology determined that it was half and half nature and nurture... but the key is that sexuality is not determined at birth but later in life. When you were one-year-old do you remember liking girls/boys? It develops over time... and that leaves tremendous room for the environment to play a huge role.Just because there are animals that are homosexual does not mean anything... Most male animals will have sex with anything that moves just so it can pass down its genes... there are countless of explanations for this... along with the lines that it could be a mental disorder counting it as "abnormal."Thats what I was saying, homosexual couples cannot reproduce with one another... there is no point for them to be together sexually."Norm" might have been too strong of a word... I was just trying to say that it could be considered natural now because there are so many homosexuals now a days.Thank you!

Aside from the rest I could refute I want to focus on this:homosexual couples cannot reproduce with one another... there is no point for them to be together sexually.1) Would you say the same for elderly or otherwise infertile straight couples?2) Would their heterosexuality become unnatural if they never produced children?

The vagina and the penis are meant for reproduction; that is the natural use of the organs. Other than that, it is simply for pleasure which is not an argument when deciding whether homosexuality is natural or abnormal.

No, it answers the same thing. There is no point for them to be together except for pleasure which is not an argument in regards to whether it is natural or abnormal.

Side: Normal

That may have been the original purpose of the vagina and penis, but that doesn't mean that evolution couldn't have leveraged off of that to provide other benefits. If sex were only for reproduction, then why don't we only do it when the female is in estrus, like most mammals? The fact is, we also use sex to reinforce our relationships, and gay people, and old people, need relationships just as much as anyone.

Fetus's have been found to masturbate in the womb. I also remember being with some friends at the age of 7, all of us getting a good look at a woman who was sunbathing topless on her porch. I couldn't look away. Explain how sexuality must be found later in life when that happens?
Debate: What do you think about homosexuals? And about homosexuality?
Side: Normal

Yes, it's determined in birth. But of course you didn't realize it. You were a child! You didn't had sexual desire, neither for boys or girls. But, when you reach teenage, you start to discover yourself, your body, personality and mind. And then the sexual desire appears, as well as the discovering of sexual orientation. It's a discovery, not an apparition.No. Scientific studies confirmed that there are several animal species that feel pleasure in having sexual relations with another specimen of the same sex. Besides, animals just don't go and mount in the first thing they see. They have instincts, and a whole process of courting.And since when sex is just for reproduction? Of course, that's the function, but not the reason for people make it. More than half of sexual relations are done just for pleasure, not for reproduction.Yes, I get your point. But now is starting to be considered natural. It always have been natural, but just now society is opening eyes. Just like happened with the black people and the left-handed people. And the quantity of homosexuals nowadays is almost the same of years ago. But now that the world is civilized, more people have courage to "coming out".

Side: Abnormal

This is a little misleading. It is asking two questions and trying to force us to give the same answer for both.I suppose we could say that homosexuality is not common, and so not normal (pending one's definition of normal). But that really degrades into semantics for both sides on what is "normal."I will start by saying that "normal" is not the same as "moral" and so none of my argument should be looked at with morals in mind. I will also like to say that none of this reflects what I believe any laws should be.I would argue that sexual desires are an evolutionary trait to get us to try to spread our seed and allow our genes to pass on. Any sexual desires that contradict that evolutionary goal are not "normal."

Technically.. It's abnormal. Mother nature gave men and women different genitalia to use them correctly- to re produce. That is, natural. For two of the same sex to mate is not natural. However, for all those haters out there, i am not saying it shouldn't be!

So what? The majority of people are men. Does this mean that women are abnormal? Yes, there is more heterosexuals than homosexuals. However, the "norm" includes everything: heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual. There isn't a "right" sexual orientation. Every sexual orientation is right, normal and natural.
