Same sex marriage - Yes or No?

[Value Collector]

The belief that is a natural occurrence not the fact they exist. Please don't bomb me with stories of born that way. It is not provable. Feelings, emotion, love - all human.

So you don't feel you were born with your sexuality?

 

[Wysiwyg]

Then you won't have trouble showing your peer reviewed proof, otherwise you're just peddling ****.

Proof of poofters being born that way? There is none.

What were you born as?

Where is your proof it's a choice?

 

[Value Collector]

What were you born as?

I have a very strong attraction to females, always have, but at no stage in my life have I ever felt it was a choice, If you feel like your sexuality has been a choice, maybe you are a bit closer to the Bisexual part of the spectrum, There is nothing wrong with that if you are, don't beat yourself up.

 

[Wysiwyg]

Where is your proof it's a choice?

approximately 95% of the worlds population.

only 2% of the population has red hair, does that make being ginger a choice?

I think VC hit the nail on the head, maybe your suppressing some sexual feelings towards the same sex, maybe you think because you can suppress them everyone else should. Personally I've never had those feelings about another bloke, I know I was born straight and it wasn't a choice.

All this time I thought you were an ex army homosexual batting for your mates. Apologies for misreading your alliance. Regarding my 'sexuality', I was born a male and have evolved with a natural attraction toward mating with females.

So would you say your sexuality was a choice?

If not, why would you think others have "chosen" theirs.

That god exists or poofters are born that way?

You have a very rigid view there Wysiwyg. In modern society its accepted that we should be free to choose our own pathways in life. It matters ziltch whether sexual choices are natural or not. In fact who can say what is natural at all.

If joe blow wants to marry bill blogs, who cares, who's effected, no one and joe and billy being more comfortable will make better community inhabitants.

Fortunately in my view I'm heterosexual but I am pleased from today in Australia that others can follow their hearts in choice.

Labor will be happy with that.

As of today they are no longer campaigning for SSM at the next election

Politically, I can't help but think they would be happier keeping an issue going that's causing division within the Libs. Otherwise, if it was about SSM, they would have supported the plebiscite. Going forward, it will be interesting to see how they respond to ongoing division between the Libs on the detail of the Bill.

Labor probably didn't expect the government to come up with an alternative public count to the plebiscite.

I have met quite a few homosexuals in my time on this planet. Many had been homosexual since emerging from the closet, and to the best of my knowledge remained that way, leading me to suspect that the cause lies in their genetic makeup.

There were however some exceptions. A few had clearly joined that community in order to enjoy certain membership privileges.

Another surprised herself (I was equally surprised) when after years of living the lesbian lifestyle, she suddenly realised she was heterosexual after all and proceeded to dump her girlfriend clearing the way for her marriage and subsequent production of children.

You believe that you are only attracted to females because you evolved that way throughout your life? So you were taught to be attracted to females as a child, and once you hit puberty Mr Winky knew to stand to attention at the sight of a naked woman, because you were taught by society that this is normal?

Or were you just born that way?

Although I happen to lean towards genetic causation, there is no denying that many children will experience the better part of a decade of societal conditioning and "education" before "mr winky" has any opportunity to stand up for anything.

10 of the first 12 news items on the ABC's news page is about SSM. The two news items on different topics are 5th and 10th on the list.

There has been saturation coverage all day on News24. My tv has been muted.

I came to being via a male and female. That was a very early learning for me. Maybe if my parents were homo's I would initially have taken that as how I came to be and accepted it as normal. Later in life as I learned my old man's were doing each others pooper I would be confused about reproduction and pleasure. That is what 61% of people that returned the survey voted for. Let us hope there aren't generations of sexually disorientated kids ahead. If so the percentage should be small unless homosexuality really takes off.

Good on you for sticking by your reasoning.

You might understand shares, but humans and society, your understanding is of buying the Myers IPO and thinking it was a winning, you are wrong and your thoughts are negative.

FFS, gay couples do not engineer gay childern, really are people that stupid. My coffee shop owner told me that humans were created by god, through adam and eve yesterday. What has the world come to.
