I hate how these morons on the right call their bigotry and intolerance "values." How is hate a value? How is discrimination a value? How is mischaracterizing an entire population of people a value? These people always talk about how they're "values voters", as if people who are liberal or moderate don't have values. As George Will once said, everyone is a values voter! I'm sick to death at how these Republicans have monopolized the term "values" for political gain.

@Whoo69 banning interracial marriage and saying jews were responsible for the murder of christ were seen as "values" by the catholic church until the 60s

@funk7000 I'll look in to it further after I'm done with my own article on same-sex parenting, but from what I've read so far, they seem to use a lot of flawed research.

[joelwiklund90]

@funk7000 Still like to see the scientific reports.

[joelwiklund90]

@funk7000 Once again, even if you're seeing gender as opposites you denying the existence of other genders than male and female.

[joelwiklund90]

@funk7000 Always this view of gender as binary. xx-male, xx-female, xy-male, xy-female, xxy-male, xxy-female is some of the possible genders. And by the way, homosexuality isn't just about sex and sexual desire.

[joelwiklund90]

@funk7000 Where can I find these studies, because all I've read are the ones from the U.S. confirming that LGBTs experience no more psychological problems than anyone else, in a homo-friendly society.

And in what do you base the statement that homosexuality is a result of psychological trauma?

[joelwiklund90]

@funk7000 Do you believe it's the same thing with AAP, ASA and AACAP as well? And do you criticize the methodology of Evelyn Hookers work in 1957, since you say there's no scientific objectivity to the declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder? And all the other researchers as well, Henry Adams, Judith Stacey, Sara McLanahan, Kyle Pruett, Eleanor Maccoby etc. Where are the studies concluding that homosexuality is a mental disorder?

[funk7000]

Gender identity confusion and Same Sex Attraction does exist in a small minority of individuals. It is a painful pathology and warrants a compassionate response. However, it is not the 'normative' experience, and is not therefore a paradigm upon which to drive social policy and institutions. Gender as complimentary opposites is a basic physiological reality, which unfortunately has been politicized. This is what is not helpful, and what is truly dehumanizing to ppl w/SSA

[funk7000]

Ppl experiencing SSA conceptualize themselves as an abstract consciousness inhabiting an impersonal body...they think they're a ghost in a machine. But in fact, the procreative physiological design of the body is self-evident, so any encouragement into gender bending in any way is neither ethical or healthy, and is therefore the reason why people with same sex attraction and gender confusion are more prone to psychological problems such as suicide ideation, and not because of "homophobia."
