I still think homosexuality is a choice but also think it is a form of mental illness.
Heathen, you are, of course entitled to your opinion. Just so you should know, here is the official position on homosexuality by the American Psychiatric Association:
"Whereas homosexuality per se implies no impairment in judgement, stability, reliability, or general social or vocational capabilities, the American Psychiatric Association calls on all international health organizations, and individual psychiatrists in other countries, to urge the repeal in their own country of legislation that penalizes homosexual acts by consenting adults in private. And further, the APA calls on these organizations and individuals to do all that is possible to decrease the stigma related to homosexuality wherever and whenever it may occur." (December 1992)

For what it's worth, my homosexuality was not chosen any more than my eye, hair, or skin color was chosen. In fact, as a Jehovah's Witness, I chose to try and become heterosexual. It didn't work. You are what you are.

Did you choose to be straight? Didn't think so...

But what about gay farmers who misuse their naughty bits? Will Jehovah superabundantely provide for them?

I know full well where this is headed, unfortunately.
BUT...just in case, here is a link that will give you hours of reading.

Sheesh! Good thing I wasn't around when that thread was going. It would have been twice as long!

Does this mean that any further discussion of cockatoos is forthwith banned? -

As a side note, Rayzorblade is the proud owner of two lovely little birds: Baby (parakeet) and Nim (cockatiel) both rescued sweethearts.
Some people have an unfortunate propensity towards such type of remarks, despite whatever username/s they may have previously used.
The thread I posted, has plenty of posts (13 pages/250+ posts).
The topic was discussed even before that long winded one. No matter what you say to some people, or what information you present to them, it becomes a 'dead horse' thread, as you can imagine.
Hope all is well with you Jim.

These threads on sexuality do often come around on the board . I personally don't care what anyone does in the privacy of their own home as long as it's not molesting children or something of a violent nature that violates someone elses rights . The WTBTS always has the most outrageous explantions for homosexuality especially when they bring out the parts about deemonz . From what I can see sexuality is a choice noone is going to die because of lack of sex if they were I'd have been dead along time ago .

I'm scraping by, Ray, thanks for asking. By the way..... Happy Birthday!

One of my favorite quotes is by the late Herbert Spencer, which states:
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting igonorance -- that principle is Contempt prior to Investigation."
