@onevoice,
Exactly, why would anyone care? Yet you still feel the need to tell us that you do not approve of their lifestyle and that you regard it as a choice.

Whatever happened to live and let live? Incidentally I do not approve of your choice to listen to John Denver's goddamnshitawful music, but who cares what I approve of anyway.

There is no Homosexual lifestyle. That phrase was made up by some American and is totally meaningless other than as a tool of hatred.

Missed this one somehow. A lifestyle is just that... A lifestyle. There's a ton of different "lifestyles" out there in this world. When I say it, it is a classification... That's all. There is no ill intent behind what I say or mean. I am not trying to segregate them. It is a religious spirit that takes one word out of an entire sentence, paragraph, or statement and twists it it in order to make it appear as though it says something entirely different. Christianity is famous for this... Aren't they?

@onevoice,
Sure you're segregating them. By calling homosexuality a "lifestyle choice," you're implying that it is not natural, that it is something that could be changed. The implication is clear that homosexuals don't have to be homosexuals, that they could "choose" to be otherwise. That makes it so much easier to make them out to be willful sinners, and by extension, unnatural rebels against your silly god's rules.

That shine about people "twisting" what you say is a load of crap, and it's getting tedious. Poor, abused, misunderstood you.

@onevoice,
I agree with Izzy, this is what you're essentially saying that the bible (god?) approves of.

If you're hetero, you get to have sex with whom you're attacted to (if they're your wife) and not be in sin.

If you're homo, you don't get to have sex with whom you're attracted to and I guess you're just out of luck there (not like sex is a natural thing that is hardwired into every living species on the planet or anything).

No, but you have operate under the concept of "equal access". You have rights. Your business doesn't.

@izzythepush,
Izzy or ehbeth, can you please explain a few things to me?

What exactly is the difference between a rich person, who lives a rich "lifestyle", which affords luxuries the standard person cannot afford, and and a homosexual who lives a homosexual lifestyle?

Why is it that one word can mean something completely different... Just depending on who it's applied to?

And isn't it just a wee bit prejudice to imply it is OK to do that?

If not, why?

I'm not playing a word game here. I sincerely want to understand.

Set, I'm not even stuck there anymore and it's MY life. So, why are you? You are free to misunderstand me all you would like and I promise not to complain about it. Smile

However, there is a new mystery on the table if you would like to take a stab at that one. Wink

@onevoice,
To talk about a gay lifestyle is the same as talking about a short person lifestyle or a deaf person lifestyle or however conditions a person happen to had been born with.

If you have a problem with the so call gay lifestyle then complain to you god for having so many gay men and women being born.

@BillRM,
I have yet to complain about it, I believe. However, if you can point out where I have and the issue at hand has not been resolved already... Because I am striving to move forward here, not keep running in circles. I will be more than happy to apologize for doing so because that is certainly not my intention. Smile

@onevoice,
Prejudice is when you condemn, or at least disapprove of, people because of who they are. That's what you're doing. And it was you who brought up lifestyle. What consenting adults get up to in the privacy of their own bedrooms has nothing to do with you.

Stop thinking about it. Can't you do a bake sale or some other churchy thing instead?

@snood,
Having sex is a lifestyle?

Is having red hair a lifestyle?

Is being short a lifestyle?

I can't even describe how what you said disturbs me.

@ehBeth,
Well, take deep breaths. If we don't r\try to9 make a political/human rights argument out of it, I can see describing someone by an activity they participate in regularly. Rock-climbing culture, slam poetry world, foodie way of life, homosexual lifestyle. I know it ain't politically correct, but let's not make it into a freaking crime against humanity.

OneVoice has evidently adopted the "slow-in-the-head" lifestyle -- the lifestyle of those people who don't want to understand much.
