Just this week my wife complained to me that she cannot watch a show on Netflix without discovering gay content as part of the plot line.

solution: don't pay for Neflicks, don't watch.

BoomAndBustCycle says

Plenty of women their abuse from men made them more interested in women…

Really? Do you have a link to a study? Or are you just making stuff up?

Again, I'm not saying gays are intrinsically evil, only that they have a life-shortening disease.

Male homosexuality spreads disease and shortens life about the same amount as illegal intravenous drug use.

I'm not saying drug addicts are intrinsically evil either, only that it's not a good thing and should not be promoted to children with colorful flag, parades, Netflix plot lines either.

IV drug addicts get hepatitis frequently just like gays do, another point of similarity.

Anecdote as to Patrick’s point herewith.
I shared a house in Capitola with a gay guy who was a “lady” or a “bottom” in the parlance.

He got hepatitis and I went to get my shots because we lived together.

I asked him if he had such problems often:
“Honey, if you’re gay, disease is a way of life.”

Societal suicide, in order to be nice and accept everything. I hear all young people now, well brainwashed by the media, all supportive of this stuff. America is on a way like the Roman Empire, got maybe another 10 years or so to go before we all collapse because we allowed this shit.

Dude, the “gay agenda” isn’t going to collapse society. AI, metaverse and everyone plugging into the matrix in the next century is going to make all this “flesh” stuff obsolete. We are all gonna have Apple Eyes, implants and become more cyborg where everyone chooses their virtual gender.

I’m kinda shocked so many engineers on here don’t see that tech is gonna swallow us all whole in the next century. Tech is genderless and isn’t straight or gay.

?? Is "lived together" a new hip term for butt sex? :-)

Nah, some people may accept this but I'm doubtful. More likely we'd just have implants to turn on/off dopamine at will or maybe as a reward for doing good work.

A lot of people say Lesbianism comes from bad relationships with the Father.

I've noticed the OPPOSITE. Many Lesbians seem to have more problem with the Mother, and the Father they get along with okay to good.

There's a reason that gayness was traditionally a crime.

And why girls went seamlessly from the care of the Parents to the care of a Male Husband with, except for wealthy heiresses, no in between time to "discover themselves."

And it was enforced mostly by females, the grandmother/mother/aunt would never let a 17-year old Sicilian girl go to the market without adult females or at least a bevy of siblings and cousins to look after (and report back). Ireland, Germany, England, the Pale, Castille, anywhere, every ethnic group in Europe was like that.

Courtship could never take place without family members in attendance, either an outing accompanied by relatives or inside the girl's home.

Again, I don't see why anyone needs to harp about gays and their choices. Harp about the rest of society being force-fed gay pride, lifestyle, and other shit like that...

"Tech" is just a tool. It is people that build these tools and wield them for good or evil.

There are a lot of evil people in the world.

Headset, I’m straight so I of course didn’t have physical contact with my housemate.

He sometimes threw great parties and I met a couple of girls thanks to him.

This is not good.

I don't see why people allow television in their home.

It's just crazy that people allow this at this point. The inventor of television himself, Philo Farnsworth, wouldn't allow it in his home. He created the device for education, and it's got PRECIOUS little education on it. I used to like PBS as a kid, but it was few and far between you'd get real information. Nova as good at home, and so was Frontline but that ended by 2000.

The Internet was created to eliminate it.

BoomAndBustCycle says

I don’t get the logic in that sexual abuse turns someone gay… especially if it was same gender abuse. Plenty of women their abuse from men made them more interested in women… so shouldn’t it be similar for boys. I guess if it was often enough a weird fetish could develop…. But it’s kind of obvious if you take a room full off 5 year olds and compare there personalities… a good portion of the boys would portray less masculine qualities than others. It’s not like you get sexually abused and come out with a lisp and wearing a tutu.

I also personally know 4 sets of twins where 1 is gay and the other is straight. I know more twins with opposite sex orientations than same sex orientations. It just seems very complex.

You are flat out wrong on this. I’m not gonna comment as to my personal experience for now as it puts me out more than I’d like…you guys get that show in about 10 years…

But I will say find a phsychologist, a cop, a juvenile court judge, or a social worker that works with children and ask them what happens when children are sexually abused.

Males frequently become gay, and those that don’t have substantial sexual issues with women well into adulthood if not for their entire live. Females frequently act out sexually as adults, engaging multiple partners, having difficulty forming relationships and so forth. Your local strip club is likely a petri dish of women who were abused as children or whose parents were addicts.

The rabbit hole of studies for this particular issue is actually immense. Here’s but one of hundreds of studies on the issue and the incredibly strong correlation to behavior:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9127231/?source=patrick.net

A couple final thoughts…

Why do you think a “gay” gene has yet to be identified? And the few studies that claimed to identify it have subsequently been proven wrong?

I dont think I can emphasize this point strongly enough….child sexual abuse is waaaaayyyy more prevalent than most people in the US know. It’s ridiculously prevalent in lower income neighborhoods and especially in foster homes. Children that are victims of child sexual abuse literally have their lives altered from the experience…that’s how strong the trauma is…children that are victims frequently become perpetrators…and IWOG was a fucking evil asshole for advocating adult male relations with female children as young as 12-13 years old.

Patrick says

As George Carlin would have put it: "There's a reason."

There's a reason that gayness was traditionally a crime.

They got money and power now because we all got too soft and accepting. Went from accept us to teach your kids to be gay or you r bigot.

If sexual abuse is so prevalent… especially in the lower class… which I don’t disagree with. Then wouldn’t there be a disproportionately large portion of gay poor people. Wouldn’t we have an epidemic and growing gay population ?

I know it’s anecdotal but actually I know 5 sets of twins where one is gay and the other is straight. Is it really likely only 1 was molested? And that’s why they turned out that way? Three of the twins are female.. so were they molested by women .. since men molesting them just makes them more promiscuous?

I’m not arguing that sexual abuse or abuse in general doesn’t mess kids up badly. Just the extrapolation that sexual abuse is the cause of all gayness in the world is ridiculously myopic.

If gayness were determined by genetics then identical twins would be identically gay or straight. But they are not, so gayness is not something you are born with.

I'm general, how children are treated strongly affects how they turn out as adults. Parents who insult their children create psychopaths.

Patrick says

I seem to recall that twins that were separated at birth had a tendency to be more likely to have the same sexuality. That was once reported.

However, given the abysmal state of psychology and the (lake of) rigor of the studies, I can believe it was falsified. Remember "assisted touch" for children with autism in which a psychologist would lead the hand of autistic child? I knew a psychologist at the time, and I discussed my skepticism of it, she was ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN it was true, and I left it at that. Years later after it was discredited, she basically didn't want to discuss it.

She was no dummy, nice person, smart. That's when I developed my hypothesis that intelligence is inversely proportional to gullibility.

Which in itself, sounds rather gullible. :-)

Gullibility may just be related to experience, and how much one has lived in an environment of trust. Also, people are pack animals, and the herd members want to please the leaders. Thus, even smart herd members go along with masking and jabs, and feel virtuous for doing so.

At some point, technology will overtake the creators. If not in 50, then in 100 years we are fucked and will be replaced.

Yah I don’t think Rich’s theory holds out well. Lots of people I know with average or even lower intelligence are wiser than others with high intelligence. And wisdom is a measure of how well you make choices, which includes the choice of who and what to believe. Plenty of highly educated and presumably intelligent people I’ve met are incredibly foolish, believing fervently in the most irrational and contradictory ideas and “facts” just because an authority they trust has said so.

Thinking critically is the best exercise for anyone with higher intelligence to become wise, lest low brow “grunts” pass you by in this area simply through real life experience.

Shaman says

That's why the average 3rd grade educated farmer of 100 years ago was better equipped to have a good life and avoid the pitfalls of stupidity that modern sophisticated people fall into and then blame society for it.

You are free to do your own research. The study I linked to showed 35% of male victims of male perpetrators were gay. Considering gay men are about 10% of the population, that’s an overwhelmingly large correlation.

Thus far you are choosing not to research. Instead you are arguing anecdotally based on a ridiculously small sample size. And how in the world would you know how many gay men there are that are lower income, particularly when gay men are most stigmatized in lower income black communities and the numbers would very likely be underrepresented in first generation low income Latino communities?

Plenty of highly educated and presumably intelligent people I’ve met are incredibly foolish, believing fervently in the most irrational and contradictory ideas and “facts” just because an authority they trust has said so.

Their own status depends on being part of that expert class. This is a big motive to fervently believe in those authorities, no matter how obviously wrong.

I'm all in favor of civil rights for homosexuals. They work, pay taxes, mind their own business. It's their business, not mine.

That said, anyone who got a digital prostate exam knows it's an abomination.

Big problem is when they start pushing it onto kids because of acceptance. To pump up gay numbers. It’s fucked up. I Fully oppose that shit.
