Default Re: Why is homosexuality and transexuality ok?

No, just a credible source (preferably one that can be read on the internet, but if you don't have that, I'll settle for whatever you do have) that says that homosexuality is intextricably linked to increased fertility, as you claim.

Sure you got it. OK, when a man and a woman has sex, it can produce a child. The man inserts his penis into a woman's vagina and injects sperm into her uterus. The sperm travels inside the woman, until it reaches her ovaries. One of the sperm enters the egg and fertilizes it. The sperm contains half the chromosomes required for the DNA, and the egg contains the other half. This zygote then travels down to the uterus and develops into an embryo, a fetus, and then a baby. The parent's DNA is passed onto their child. Half from the mother, half from the father.

OK, now when homosexuals engage in sex they do not fertilze any eggs. A man fucks another man up the ass and men do not have ovaries, so there is no reproduction there. Women may insert their fingers and tongues into each others vaginas, but there is no sperm there, so no reproduction can occur.

I would have hoped this might be known to you by know, but don't worry I'm glad to explain things to you.

No, people learn about what sex is early on. Perhaps you were raised to think it is eating pussy or fucking another man up the ass, but that is not naturally occurring sex.

Firstly, I have been making a conditional argument from the start. I always took care to highlight that with caps, and apparently that was lost upon you. The necessary condition is that homosexuality IS GENETIC AND NOT AQUIRED BEHAVIOR. Now aside from that, I also set out another conditions, which you missed. That condition would be that homosexuals engage in purely homosexual activity, which they have not. I have explained this to you twice before. Please try to understand it this time.

No, it's just common sense, which as I see from your comments you are not too fond of.

I'm not acting God-like at all. You are just intolerant of anyone who has a different opinion that you must resort to all sorts of childish and off-topic comments. I'm merely using logic. Evolution involves the constant aquistion and discarding of traits to adapt to the environment and other organisms. If traits were inextricably linked to one another then organisms would fail to adapt and die, or there would remain many useless traits, while their environment changes. It's just logic. You know, following the implications of what you say and seeing if they make sense and don't contradict what we do know.

I don't think you are a big fan of logic or the theory of evolution though.
