Do you agree with the actions that people of different sexuality’s? I do, as many of my friends, personal or not, are often bisexual or asexual. Homophobia has become a problem to me, as on DeviantArt me and one of my few friends on the site were arguing with a homophobe who believes that anyone who is not a heterosexual is a terrible person, which angered my friend, as they’re asexual. In return, we tried to explain that it is biology that makes the changes to one’s genes. Sexuality is not a choice, and my view is that we should support people of different sexualities, however, there is something else that I want to talk about. Pedophilia and Incest Pedophilia to me, is a problem, as it can hurt both individuals, morally and physically. While I do understand that pedophilia is not always a choice, I don’t agree with them, same with incest, which further messes with family genes. This is a topic I wanted to get off my chest for a long time, and I want to see what you think is right. |

I personally don't agree with homosexuality, bisexuality, etc. etc., but honestly, what kind of difference would it make if a tenant or classmate is gay or not? My problem is with the notion itself, not the people. Edit: Oh, pedophilia and incest. No and no, those actually have super harmful effects that homosexuality, say for example, doesn't. Like making inbred kids with genetic disorders or messing up a child's mind. Edited by Firewall, Jun 24 2018, 05:36 PM.

LGBT rights is fine. Incest is a gray area for me, and pedophilia, while it’s not a choice, is a big no for me. |

Homosexuality - yes. Bisexuality - yes (as I had a friend who was this). Asexuality - no. As for the other two things mentioned, which I don't see related to this thread, just plain ick. We certainly don't want another Josef Fritzl on this planet. |

Why a 'no' to asexuality? |

The only asexual person I am aware of is Paula Poundstone. And she is openly asexual. Why should anyone get a rat's ass about who one is sleeping with if they are all consenting adults? |

Homo-, bi- and asexuality: I remain tolerant of it. Incest: I think it is immoral and should be condemned, but criminalising is excessive. Pedophilia: No. Edited by Jinfengopteryx, Jun 26 2018, 02:11 AM.

This is a little too general for me to answer, but I will throw out there that I've been asexual for more than 4 years. |

By choice or circumstance? There is a difference. |

Asexuality- No , is not a benefit for any person. Pedophilia - No. its temporarily unexplaniable and very devious. Incest - Very similar to what i said about pedophiles but less worrying. Almost like youre engaging to your brothers wife though which sounds very disrepectful. |

Why is asexuality bad? It’s not negatively harming anyone. |

I second that, especially since it more asexuals would control the population growth too. Asexual marriage, of course, wouldn't make any sense. |

Agreed. And it's not a bad lifestyle for a thinking person, as it can be relatively hassle free.... Edited by starman, Jun 29 2018, 01:45 AM.

Do I support homosexuality (and asexuality, and so on)? 'Support' is the wrong word, really. I accept it as a fact of life, and I support each individual person's right to live according to whatever lifestyle best suits them (as long as they aren't harming anyone else, of course). As a side note, I don't like it when people say we should be 'tolerant' of LGBT people: 'accepting' would be a far better word IMO. Saying that we're 'tolerant' suggests that we see their lifestyle as problematic, but choose to put up with it anyway. On the other hand, saying that we're 'accepting' implies that we don't see their lifestyle as problematic to begin with. |
