This is a disturbing thing to say in the year 2026. Since gay people have always existed and they don't choose their sexuality and they aren't going anywhere whether you like them or not, what do you propose should be done to them? Should they be executed or just be miserable and celibate their entire lives so that you aren't offended?
Again just like any sexual attraction, don't act on it. You are jumping to extremes here, noone is talking about execution in this country anyway.

None of the stuff you listed is proof that its making society worse or whatever lol. For all the problems that society has, gay people are way down the list.

What's wrong with gay people adopting? They can't help who they're attracted to and they can't help that they want a family? What's wrong with that. It sounds like you think it is weird and don't like it and are coming up with fancy reasons to explain your bigotry

Appropriating straight culture? Now that's a new one.

The LGBT community wants to be not discriminated against. I'm Catholic, so I think homosexual acts are wrong, but I'm opposed to discrimination against LGBT people, as is the Catholic Church.
But don't you see the point I am making? Why do they want a family? If a person wants a family they should marry someone of the opposite sex. Not try to bend the laws of nature.

But why should they spend their lives miserable just because you don't like it and what if they don't follow your religion? Why should your beliefs supercede their happiness?

I just said it should be discouraged and not supported. I believe it to be a sin. One of the fruits of the spirits is self control. Sex is the only way to find happiness?

You might be right but I'm stunned that I'm hearing someone say these things so calmly and openly in this day and age. The right wing culture wars have turned back the clock and made homophobia acceptable again it sounds like. And social media has exacerbated it by cherry-picking the worst examples of the community and spread them widely and virally until they all believe the bad examples represent the whole. It's really sad.
Why am I supposed to support homosexuality?

A lavender marriage is a hetero marriage where at least one person in it is gay.

Do you think being gay means you don't want a family?
What is a family and where did the concept come from? A man and a women get married and have kids. Why would you want to imitate that if you are different? You laughed at the cultural appropriation comparison, but how is it different.

What on earth are you talking about man? People have the desire to have a family, to be parents. That doesn't change because of who they are attracted to

That's like saying why am I supposed to support potatoes? Potatoes didn't ask to be here, they just are. You may not like potatoes but should potatoes try to become oranges so you'll like them better, even though that would be impossible?

I don’t agree with your premise. Homosexual behavior is a conscious decision. You don’t have to do it.

Because I'm a human being? Why should sex be unimportant?
