Another “Gay Pride” weekend has come and gone in the city in which I live. After seeing photos and hearing people talk about it, here are a few random thoughts.
1) There is no gay gene. There is absolutely no scientific evidence in the literature to support such a notion. People are not born this way. They create these lives for themselves. Environmental inputs from early on take us all down a certain sexual path. We choose to embrace the cravings and lusts and passions that arise in us.
2) According to statistics, condom use in the gay community has plummeted since HIV has become manageable with drugs. No amount of money spent on sex education will change people’s behaviour. They will follow their lusts regardless of the consequences and regardless of the endless stream of information given to them.
3) Sexually transmitted diseases occur at a far greater rate in the gay community than in the heterosexual community. HIV is almost entirely a gay disease despite their efforts to make it seem otherwise. A new strain of incurable gonorrhea has arisen amongst gay people and will slowly spread into the mainstream population. It is a behaviour and lifestyle that promulgates disease.
4) Monogamy does not exist in gay relationships. The statistics on “indiscretions” or “gay hookups” within “committed relationships” so-called are greater than 95% in almost all studies conducted. Personal sexual gratification trumps all. There seldom is restraint and the virtue of self-control is all but unknown.
5) Biologically speaking, homosexuality is not normal. It is aberrant behaviour. Homosexuals are sexually aberrant. It occurs in only 2-3% of the population. They should be treated with kindness and love, but that does not mean we call their behaviour normal.
6) Homosexuality is an evolutionary dead end. If it were indeed a genetic disposition, this gene would have been selected against and disappeared from the population millenia ago. It is not a genetic disposition but a mental one. That is why it still persists today.
7) The word “pride” to denote this display of one’s sexuality seems to be a word that overcompensates for a reality that remains hidden. Why is there “pride” in ones orientation? Why is someone “proud” of their same sex attraction? Heterosexuals take no pride in what to them is normal. The word “pride” acts as a glossy veneer over something most understand to be unnatural. One should not have to announce and display their “pride” if they truly were.
8) If homosexuality is a legitimate orientation, then by the same logic so is pedophilia. You cannot argue for the validity of one without arguing for the validity of the other. Because the talk of sexual orientation is so ingrained in our culture, it will only be one to two decades from now before pedophiles will be a protected and celebrated class of sexual deviants. This was common behaviour in ancient Greece and Rome. We will sit back and watch this become an accepted practice.
9) We have lost what it means to be ashamed. Shame is no longer in our lexicon. We now take pride in shameful things and shame that which is good and pure and right. I do still think that shame exists and we all feel it from time to time. But we repress it deeply in order to do our best to not be affected by it or the guilt associated with our behaviours.
10) Any opposition to the gay narrative of the day will have one branded homophobic or a bigot. Name calling is a useful strategy and has been used throughout history to silence and denigrate ones opponents. It is for personal thoughts that homosexuals want to silence and shun those who oppose being told they need to accept this as normal. That is fascism and It is a movement of fascists.
11) I also believe in the freedom for anyone to live how they so choose. And I also believe in the freedom for anyone to think and believe in whatever they want and not to be dictated to what beliefs are acceptable and what thoughts are not. One person should not dictate to another how they should live or what they should believe.
