What's your view on homosexuality?

Can it be prevented? Is it a mental illness? Is it even okay? I myself think it's fine love is love. :) No one is 100% straight anyways so it can't be a mental illness.

I'm mentally ill for a lot of reasons, but wanting to kiss girls isn't one of them.

technically its a mental illness. its ok but i think its comes from nature. you see in average western society the amount children a person has is going down. also its mostly later in life or really early that they get their children.
now in countries where they are way more poor like in African countries they have way more children and i think this has to do with the fact how good you have it. but with currently population growing out of control it seems nature is making more people gay to produce less children. i've always thought this and for my thesis i use ancient Greek and Rome. they were having similar good situations as the people currently living in the west. and there were loads of gay people there but no where else on the planet were aver this much people who are gay or bisexual. so think if you have a well running society that keeps health up by having enough food and proper hygiene eventually needing to breed less i think our mind automaticity goes more gay. similarly 60 years ago there weren't as many gays as now.both becasue they couldn't be open about it but i don't think there were as much as now. and that's probably due to the wars like WW2 and the cold war

Being gay isn't necessarily a problem. It's other people's problems.
That's like saying black people have problems.
popmol · 22-25, M
@FCNantes well no i meant its a problem for reproducing and putting on the bloodline. if i'd be gay i'd still want my child from my blood and dna to set it on.
black people have problems but thats not a mental thing thats because most of them live in the poorest part of the earth and most of the others live in America where half of them live in lifestyles not suited for working at a bank or high paying jobs and they stay in more slum like provinces and then thier children do the same and thne after a couple of generation it will be troublesome becasue if no one of them studies they can't go to a better neighbourhood (not saying blacks won't learn of course i'm making an overgeneralisation)
same goes for Muslims in my country. loads of teens i was in a class with never wanted to study because they said it sucked and they didn't want too. and while i go on studying and getting a high paid job he will do horrible jobs that pay little amounts and then he will be angry but then its his fault for in his younger years fuck studying but then their children will think they just won't get a chance while thats not true creating a vicious cycle where the kids say fuck studying and then don't get a high paying jobs making their children think we don't get the chance saying fuck studying too (this is also an overgeneralisation but its true i was on a high school where there were more Muslims and polish people then other people from belgium, and they all said fuck studying and got bad grades or went into labour classes like wood and steel so they could never earn so much as i could i would probably be their boss and earn at least 3 times as much.) but thats all for another time

@xRockGlossPrincessx Ey, I stay outta everyone's lives, therefore everyone else should stay outta my life.
FCNantes · 22-25, M
You really are staying out of my life...
I'm Gay. It's not a mental illness. I can't change or be cured. I've tried. I'm not sick. I'm Gay. It feels 100% right, and natural,to me, when I'm with a man.
@FCNantes how do you know it isn't a superpower? Maybe it is.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
@FCNantes I know what you are thinking, but I meant they have been through a lot in a society that hates them.... so they understand what it feels like to be judged making them more accepting.
LoL. Blocked me. Must be a homophobe. Oh well. See ya!
Homosexuality is about who we feel attracted by. Some of us happens not to think the opposite sex is attractive in intimate ways. It's no illness, it's about what feels right. And as you say, love is love.

@SapphicHeart Exactly!! 😘

My view on homosexuality?
"Can it be prevented?" No, I don't think so.
"Is it a mental illness?" No, I don't think so.
"Is it even ok?" Who am I to say someone is wrong for being attracted to someone of the same sex?

Live and let love
FCNantes · 22-25, M
@popmol surely it's good to have gay people in overpopulated societies. Otherwise you have even more people. You still haven't given a good reason for your thought that gay people are mentally disabled.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
Oh I didn't say that, I said they aren't mentally disabled. @FCNantes
FCNantes · 22-25, M
OK.
popmol · 22-25, M
@FCNantes no my point is a normal person doesn't kill, doesn't harm himself and likes the opposite sex. ( 1 not killing to not damage the chance of others reproducing, 2 don't harm yourself (for example trans who would rather slice of their penis then to be in their body) so they can safely reproduce and 3. you love the opposite gender to be able to reproduce. i see it as a mental illness since they do not follow the nature to stay alive and to give on the torch to their children (since they can't make them)) that's why i put them in harmless mental disability groups containing people with down syndrome autism and also things like ADHD. i don't know if these are categorised as a mental illness but things like dyslexia.
metalicblack · 46-50, M
I feel people have the right to be who they want to be. I don't care if your gay, straight, black, white, or purple if you are true to your self then you have my respect
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
@metalicblack Yay! :)
No. It choose us.
No-maybe in the 1940's and a bit int the 50's. But they were wrong.. Not by today's psychiatric model.
Yes, it is fine. I quite like who and How I am.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
@Elandra77 It does choose, and it knows no color... anyone can be gay.
Vetrov · 61-69, M
A Roman Emperor...(Justinian...Diocletian?), banned homosexuality, because it was the cause of earthquakes.

Of course...this was LONG before any modern concepts of "Games Theory"...
walabby · 61-69, M
@Vetrov Those Romans must have been very vigorous in bed!!! :D 🤣
Vetrov · 61-69, M
@walabby Possibly....("is this how you like it..uhu uhu"?!..."is this how you like it..uhu uhu"?!...)

@Vetrov STOP!
The visuals are just too confronting!! 😖

You're 100% right! Sexual orientation is just a side thing. @dumpstermeow

One person in 40 is 100% gay, and a few others are various shades of bi. That's just the way things are...
I agree there are various shades. @walabby
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
@walabby Nice to see an older person thinking this way. :)
FCNantes · 22-25, M
It's also nice to see a young person think this way.

I'm 100% straight.
But to answer your question, I feel there is a finite amount of non-straight combinations.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
@SW-User Non-Straight combinations?
SW-User
@xRockGlossPrincessx Yes. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Asexual.
FCNantes · 22-25, M
You forgot a certain etc....
GentleJoe · 61-69, M
As others have said, it should be a non issue. Its mostly a religious issue and for some a cultural fear.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
So sad that people choose hate over love. Especially with the Bible. It promotes hate and therefore it can't be true as it contradicts itself. @GentleJoe
@xRockGlossPrincessx I don't know if the bible saying something is wrong is necessarily promoting hate. The bible has been reworked so many times and is interpreted differently to so many extremes. People have a way of twisting words to suit their agenda. The same holds true for all those that reworked and translated it over the years.
FCNantes · 22-25, M
It's good for diversity & human acceptance, but whatever. Yes. No. Yes.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
@FCNantes Thanks for your honest opinion. :)

JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
You cannot decide if it is ok or not. People are born this way. It is not something they choose to be. It is just like being born with 6 toes(yes I know we normally have 5). You cannot change it.

It is ok because they were fucking made that way.

This question is so over done already.

Educate yourselves people.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
@JaggedLittlePill You're absolutely right. Born that way. :D
shuhak · M
It's not a mental illness, it's a choice
It's innate. @shuhak
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
@shuhak How is it a choice when so many commit suicide and others wish they were straight?
unknownpoetx · 36-40, M
you are completely wrong. I'm 100% straight.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
If you say so. @unknownpoetx
It's definitely okay, and is just one of the aspects of sexuality. Between consenting adults (like all sexuality) perfectly fine.
xRockGlossPrincessx · 26-30, F
Thanks for the answer! :)@bijouxbroussard

By definition, homosexuality's a mental illness, because, contrary to popular belief, a mental illness isn't necessarily something that's bad & can simply be something that's not the norm. If the vast majority of people were gay, being heterosexual would be a mental illness.
