Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
"are simply not sufficiently literate to put their concerns on homosexuality and its promotion into mainstream society"

There are no sexual health concerns mentioned on this thread that are exclusive to homosexuals.

What Ake calls the dangers of homosexuality are in fact the dangers of unsafe sex for people of all sexualities.

The fact that he insists on ignoring this fact shows that his point of view is not backed up by his own rationale.

Ake's rationale supports an argument in favour of safe sex over unsafe sex.

It says nothing about homosexuals.

Yet he continues to talk about unsafe sex as if it the preserve of Gay men.

He continues to assert that homosexuality is an unsafe practice, despite having no rationale or evidence to support this view.

This shows that he is more concerned with proving that homosexuality is a problem than he is with the issues raised by his rationale and by the evidence he has provided.


In other words he has a problem with gays.


His other contention is that homosexuality is "promoted" in schools.

Ask him how this is done and ask for examples.

You will get no response.

Are there stalls in schools where gay people ask passers by if they want to sign up?

What aspect of homosexuality is promoted?

Is it the bit that plagues Akes fetid imagination?

Are there bumming classes?

No.

Is there a lot of homophobia in schools?

Yes!

How do I know? I know numerous boys and girls in primary and secondary schools and calling someone Gay is a surefire way to get a laugh or to start a fight and a great way to victimize and ostracize someone regardless of whether they are gay or not.


My daughter is at school. (do you have kids Ake?)


My daughters school, and every other school in the country, teaches tolerance for all sectors of society.

They do this to combat the behaviour I have described.

In other words, they protect the civil rights of their pupils and their pupils families.

As I have said elsewhere on Mudcat, My daughters childminder looks after another child who has two mums.

I am aware of other children with the same type of family.

The school does not tolerate teasing or other ways in which children of gay couples are subjected to homophobia.

The schoool does not tolerate homophobia against gay couples by either children or homophobic parents.

I would add that I do not think there is such a thing as a homophobic child. Children are by nature open minded and accepting until taught to discriminate by a bigot.

Ake for example would happpily teach kids that gays are sick perverts who should be avoided.

His smokescreen and his homophobia are both utterly pathetic.
