Ok... nice try, you hit the nail right on the head...hehe, substituting words making my statement seem rather offensive isn't going to cut it,
Wrong.
Just because two things are dissimilar doesn't mean they can't exist on the same level. Eating meat is normal, but so is eating vegetables. Liking the color white is normal, but so is liking the color black. Being thin is normal, but so is being fat. Being born with green eyes is normal, but so is being born with blue. Men and women. Hot and cold temperatures. Et cetera, et cetera.
You're propping up heterosexuality and homosexuality on some kind ridiculous dichotomy that if one is normal, the other can't be. That's absolutely retarded.
race and sexual orientation are not even remotely related therefore you cannot make my statement into a universal statement in order to disprove it. My statement pertains solely to the subject of homosexuality as far as i know. Please don't modify my statement, instead intelligently respond to the concept I proposed. That would be great, thanks.
I did respond intelligently. If you can't see the relevance of my modifications, then you need to start thinking harder. Both your skin color and your sexual orientation are things you are born with. If you seriously want to contend homosexuality as something you aren't necessarily born with (the only other explanation being an innate disposition), then at the very least you have to admit that it is not something within a person's control. Neither your skin color or your sexual orientation are harmful to others by nature. And while both groups are minorities, you cannot say that being black is abnormal. So why separate homosexuality from that? There's absolutely no reason to.
If you take issue with my comparison, then by all means, discredit it instead of brushing it off.
