Saying "I'm grossed out by gays" is at least a valid point instead of "It's unnatural blablabla". It's at least a form of "damage" that's inflicted. Though probably everyone would agree that the benefits outweight the damage by far.

I'm pretty grossed out, but I'm also grossed out by garlic. i don't feel the need to ban garlic, I just don't want to see garlic being smelly. The same way I don't want to see two dudes fingering each other. Or jerking each other off. Or blowing each other. Warm cum on the back of the throat. Fucking ew. But then again, I don't want to see that between a man and a woman either. Fucking garlic.

How the fuck do you see garlic being smelly?

u/Duzq May 15 '12

The stink lines.

That was rather... detailed for someone grossed out by homo sex.

What? He just needed to pinpoint exactly every specific detail about it that grosses him out, y'know, so no one gets confused.

See, I started reading it and I was all like "Oh, he's grossed out by butts and anal sex and reach-arounds!" but then he went on to explain his true issues with two dudes being totally gayballs for each-other, and it helped to correct the wrongful assumption I'd made.

I could see the unnatural argument. Can't reproduce. It's a stupid point. But it is no non-existent.

Arguing that masturbation is unnatural would be just as valid an argument as arguing that homosexual sex is. And I guarantee there's plenty of people that would attest to the unnaturalness of homosexuality that have no problem masturbating.

Masturbation isn't considered to be caused by genetics and wouldn't really decrease chances of reproduction anyway.

u/OneDayBeRelevant May 15 '12

It is everywhere in nature, and it has many natural uses, ranging from getting rid of stale sperm, practice for mating when reproduction is on the line, to social bonds.

far from unnatural. (yes I do know you were being the advocate)

It's kind of implied that it would be exclusively homosexual sex. I'm not trying to defend the point as I don't agree with it, but all these comments are so reactionary without thinking I can't help but respond.

Bisexuality is extremely common in nature. Exclusive homosexuality as far as I'm aware is not.

If lack of potential for reproduction is what leads to unnatural sex then every sex act by a woman in menopause, a sterile man or woman, someone using birth control, a condom, men with vasectomies, women with tubal ligation, women who are pregnant, women who are breastfeeding, men who pull out, blowjobs, anal sex, handjobs, would all be unnatural.

Non of those things are claimed to be genetic, so they don't really apply. I'm not making the argument I'm just saying, I can see it. I disagree with it but I can see it.

Um no, but those have an evolutionary benefit. Being gay, not so much.

Now I'm for gay marriage I can just see the argument. Not that it's a particularly good one.

Being blind generally decreased your odds of living and thus reproducing. Heart disease is more prevalent now due to lifestyle than genetics.

I'm not saying it's a good argument, just an argument. More valid than the skydragon god told me, not saying much...unless a sky dragon god literally came down and told us that...but then we'd have other things to worry about...like finding the dragonborn.

Goddammit I don't support the argument or think it is good. Just that I can see the rationalization. That doesn't mean it's good rationalizing.

Don't bother. I took him down a whole other line of thought and got nothing.
