    Of course people are born with various weaknesses or propensites. Some have a propensity for alcohol to destroy their lives while some will drink moderately on a regular basis with no ill effect. Some can't stay away from casinos even though they've lost fortunes. "Discipline" is the tool to overcome such propensities even though it is a bad word to many. It is easier to just say, "I was born that way" and accept it. When a pattern is continually repeated, it becomes a fixation.

    In such language it is sex.

    Propensity is a natural inclination.

    I agree homosexuality is a natural inclination.

    You also said it was a perversion, which is an alteration of original course.

    These two terms are contradictory.

    There doesn't seem to be any reason to not accept it.

    He wasn't. He identified himself as heterosexual most all of his life

    It may be a "natural" inclination for some but so is beastiality. Some have an inclination toward other deviations.

    The difference, of course, being an "inclination" which involves two consenting adults and inclinations which do not. Example, most males have an "inclination" to be aggressive, but standing up for one's rights is one thing and shooting someone in the back of the head is another.

    You too, Yabber. Me too regarding truth. I also have a problem with ass clowns who seek to subvert the Constitution of the United States and turn us into an authoritarian state. They've already made far too many inroads into that direction and I'd like to see Americans not only stop increased authoritarianism but reverse it's influence on our government.

    If you followed my posts I stated contrary to the idea homosexual behavior should be made illegal. I stated it should be legal but rare.... a return to the morals embraced during the time of this Nations Founding. I have a problem with "ass clowns" who seek to twist my words to defend their life style which should be rare and kept to themselves.

    So what? Well beastiality is illegal and it may be legal in the future. There is a strong movement to legalize pedophelia. In some countries necrophilia has been legalized. I have never advocated outlawing same sex activity......just think it is a disgusting behavior best kept to themselves. It certainly is not marriage.

    You think homosexuals didn’t exist in the same percenatages 250 years ago as they do now?

    Do you know what a “Yankee Doodle Dandy” references?

    the same thing could be said for anything.

    the movement to legalize pedophilia is not strong it's about as strong as the movement to make the US a white ethnostate.

    I couldn't tell you either way I don't know.
    Well you're entitled to your own opinion and I'm not really going to argue with it because it seems deeply-held.

    But as far as marriage goes that is legal status and currently the legal status is extended to same sex couples.

    So if it isn't marriage by some esoteric meaning you apply to marriage fine if you're advocating for the government to not recognize it as marriage I would say it shouldn't be the government's business to recognize marriage unless marriage were to become an institution again versus a weak contract.

    People can identify themselves as a tuna can if they wish that doesn't mean they are.

    I know the whole derogatory "Yankee Doodle Dandy" reference and it referred to a bumpkin....not a practitioner of your favored life style. 250 yrs. ago those that practiced that lifestyle did it in private on this continent and it was neither glorified or accepted within the culture.

    I have no differences here....but I propose the name given to homosexual couples unions be defined as such rather than confusing children that those unions are every bit as sacred as that between one man and one women. We see the same thing going on in "progressive circles" to redefine the sexes. Words have meaning and they are direct. So you would say marriage can mean many different things? The Greek language has at least 5 variations for the word "Love". Now, during the coarsening of our "English" language, love can mean sexual relations, an appetite for food, and nothing all that specific. When we say words, we need to now what we are talking about. That is my biggest gripe.

    Legal status doesn't in any way suggest something to be sacred.

    We don't though. We see redefining of the word gender to be a separate thing from sex. But sex has always been defined by biology. I don't think sex should be considered a legal status.

    Language evolves develops and changes.

    Yes. It's all about context. In an auto manufacturing line where a vehicle with a separate chassis is being manufactured when the chassis is united with the body components that is called marriage.

    no we don't. Our language possesses context as well as words.

    We don't need a beauro of word meanings and dictates.

    That is the only way you can make word meanings absolute and never changing.

    Context is seldom understood....especially by Progressives.

    Agreed. Rock Hudson identified himself as straight...but he wasn't.

    What's my "favored life style", @yabberefugee? If you run from the question, even if you report this post and get it deleted, everyone here will know you are a hotheaded invertebrate blowhard.

    Yankee Doodle is more than that: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-macaroni-in-yankee-doodle-is-not-what-you-think

    Would you make the same claim regarding his current self identification as a homosexual?

    Your reference only proves that feminine or gay lifestyles were considered deviant and an insult to American Colonists 250 years ago as it is now. I don't need to delete a thing.
