Indeed, recall if you will that old pearl of wisdom; "Opinions are like a**holes and we all have one and are entitled to each!" However, it is frequently distasteful when we find it necessary to force either of ours on others! 
I'm pleased that my one and only contribution to this thread is to say that I hadn't heard that expression before, but it did make me chuckle!"Opinions are like a**holes and we all have one and are entitled to each!"![]()
What one does with one's opinion in the privacy of their home is of no interest to me whatsoever.Indeed, recall if you will that old pearl of wisdom; "Opinions are like a**holes and we all have one and are entitled to each!"

Probably!I saw a young fellow on a pink Vespa-type scooter the other day. It looked pretty stupid, particularly for a gentleman, but I don't know if he was gay or not...
I'm missing the connection between the two.My philosophy has always been "I'll stay out of your bedroom and leave your reproductive rights alone if you'll keep your hands off my wallet." Sounds fair to me.
Two thoughts:^^
LOL. Be careful not to jump to ill-advised conclusions. A pink Vespa scooter might merely indicate that the chap is a quite successful Italian sales rep for "Mary Kay Cosmetics"...and third party observers are simply witnessing the spoils of his/her sales success! ROFALOL!![]()
You, obviously, view sexuality as divorced from cultural or familial health. You might as well say the same thing of bestiality. The fact is that, regardless of time or religion, cultures have recognized the importance of children raised by a mother and a father and have constructed cultures to enourage that - ranging from pagan (and ostensibly, gay friendly) ancient Sparta through Christendom to commmunist/atheist Stalinist/Maoist Soviet Union/China. Open homosexuality does not lead to healthy cultures. Glad you're not my attorney if that's the depth of your thought processses or knowledge.One final note: As a straight man, I have always been bewildered by why other straight men would be bothered by homosexuality. Indeed, if I were not happily and monogamously married, it would be my fervent wish for every other male on the planet to be gay - less competition means more for me, you know.
https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/S-F-gay-rights-advocate-arrested-over-child-porn-3662138.phpYes, Yes you can. But why even bring up the topic of paedophila in a conversation on homosexuality? It's an age old, and frankly offensive mechanism constantly thrown out to somehow equate some sort of relationship.
Again the bogus reverse psychology. As if, if someone were to oppose murder, for all its obvious harms, one must be a covert murderer. Grow up. Homosexuality is a mental illness - decreed not so by what? a 55% to 45% majority vote of the only "profession" that is required, in itself to seek tha counselling of other menatl health professionals? The craziest woman I ever datde was a psychologist. The "profession" is a joke. As I've mentioned - go read about the vote to modify the DSM, the margin of the vote, and the vociferousiness of the proponents or "normality."This comment above though, this *ahem* 'great game' to which you allude will doubtless reveal to each clear thinking man not only your motivations but also the rich tapestry of paranoid fantasies which inform them.
No, it's not. Biblical sodomy has pretty much, to my knowledge, only applied to male on male sexaul acts.Actually, given its Biblical origins, Sodomy is also a term for the aformentioned acts.
Epaminondas, your reply makes absolutely no sense whatsoever in context of my comment from which you have chosen to extract and respond. I assure you no reverse psychology was intended nor employed. My statement was bald and precise, requiring no unravelling nor analysis of subtext. I feel rather that your perspective is so occluded that we might as well be speaking different languages. Thanks for the advice re growing up, though. I will try and 'take that on board'. :icon_smile_wink:Again the bogus reverse psychology.
