Why gay marriage is good for straight women : Comments

By Samantha Stevenson, published 19/7/2010

Marriage has long been enshrined in patriarchal and religious values that have done nothing to improve the lot of women.

You raise some interesting points however your claim that 10 % plus of population is homosexual is a wild wild exaggeration. I have no doubt that their has been a dramatic increase in all sorts of perverted behaviour as parents are foolish enough to allow the likes of Kylie, Lady Ga ga etc pollute the minds of their teenagers. I grew up with Elton John and co pushing his perverted lifestyle. As with many of these idols one minute they claim to be homosexual the next minute they claim to be straight. Really confused sums them up. Unfortunately that is exactly how many young people end up.

Suicide rates have increased dramatically as young girls and boys have been sexualized at a young age by the media, magazine and porn industry. The increase in immorality has dramatically increased suicide among all young people including those involved in homosexuality.

you say homosexuality starts at birth. I say the sexualisation of kids starts far to early. I know woman who have had families and then at 60 claim they are lesbian. Other men who once claimed they were homosexual now say they are heterosexual. I have no doubt that with the social engineering over the last 50 years many teens are simply confused. Many boys are fatherless and have no decent male role models. Men have been emasculated in many parts of the world.

The fact that some boys have strong sexual urges towards other boys is no different from some men having strong sexual urges towards woman other than their wives. The urge is not wrong but feeding and acting on it is. Some teenage boys and girls stay awake all night because they have a crush on a teacher. Sexual urges is just that sexual urges. They were not born with a gene that gives them a sex urge for teachers. It is usually those who refuse to control them that reject God and decide for themselves what is right and wrong.
I think the singling out of homosexual behaviour as being sinful is unfortunate. The gay lobby with its militant hateful behaviour does those struggling with these issues no favours.

runner it is quite different. By your god's rules the homosexual would never have a legitimate outlet for any sexual activity which appeals to them. A married hetrosexual even if going through a rough spot can still have some hope for the future. The homosexual who tries to live by your god's rules either has to look forward to a life of celibacy or put someone of the opposite gender through the pain of being married to someone who does not really find them attractive. Imagine what your life would have been if you had discovered that your god had banned you acting on a sexual interest in women, not just women you were not married to but all women.

I don't imagine that you would find men a suitable alternative.

Its unknown the actual number of gays and lesbians in society, and the truth is until more GLBT come "out of the closet" we probably wont get a close idea as to how much of the population is GLBT. For instance some men who have sex with only men refuse to admit that they are gay or bisexual. Apparently one person out of every ten is GLBT. Most people who are gay are born gay.

To explain:

First, Simon LeVay, then Associate Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological studies and Adjunct Professor of Biology at the University of California, showed that the brains of a group of gay men who had died from AIDS differed from those of straight men. Specifically, the nucleus of the hypothalamus which triggers male-typical sex behaviour was much smaller in the gay men and looked more like that in women. This finding was published in 1991 in the prestigious journal ‘Science’. LeVay, who is himself gay, then went on to discover that the corpus callosum, in the brain also, was bigger in gays than straight men. Three years later a study led by molecular biologist Dean Hamer of the National Institute of Health in Washington D.C. found evidence that a specific gene carried on the maternal line had an influence on sexual orientation in men. A new study finds drugs or genetic manipulation can turn the homosexual behavior of fruit flies on and off within a matter of hours. These studies suggest strongly that sexual orientation is rooted in biology and is not a matter of choice.

Second, it is common knowledge that there are gays, straights and bi’s. This has led to the theory that sexual orientation lies on a continuum with exclusively gay guys at one end and exclusively straight men at the other end. Between the two ends there are bi guys who may fall for a guy or a girl. In terms of the biological evidence above, this suggests that the differences in the brains of bi guys from straights are less pronounced than the differences between the brains of gays and straights.

Summing up, the degree of choice in being gay for a guy at the ‘exclusively gay’ end of the continuum is effectively zero. The guy at the ‘exclusively straight’ end of the continuum will also be without any real choice in being straight. In between there will be gays who are progressively less exclusively gay, those who are bi with a tendency towards the gay life, those bi’s who are equally gay and straight in orientation and then guys who have an increasingly straight (and decreasing gay) orientation. Where a guy lies on that continuum will determine how much, if any, choice he has in choosing a same or opposite sex partner.
