How did the word "Gay" come to mean "homosexual"

<p>"Guys guys come on</p>

<p>come on</p>

<p>when you get down it it…</p>

<p>it’s just wRONG"</p>

<p>why? present a solid reason why</p>

<p>It just is. People have a natural inclination to be attracted to the opposite sex. Attraction to the same sex is just not natural. And it’s just gross!</p>

<p>“It just is. People have a natural inclination to be attracted to the opposite sex. Attraction to the same sex is just not natural. And it’s just gross!”</p>

<p>So everything that is gross/unnatural is immoral? Is wearing glasses immoral? Wearing glasses is also unnatural.</p>

<p>Glasses and sexual orientation are two completely unrelated things. Glasses are a remedy for a medical problem.
I have to assume from what you are saying that sexual orientation and poor eye sight are both medical problems (one physical and the other mental). Glasses cure poor eyesight, and therapy cures (rarely) homosexuality.
I already said everything I have to say.
And when did I say it was immoral? I said it was disgusting amd gorssed me out, not that it was immoral.</p>

<p>So gay marriage should not be allowed because it grosses you out?</p>

<p>But again I say, we don’t make laws based one what is “naturally right”, we don’t make laws based on what doesn’t gross us out. We make laws so that everyone is equal, which certainly is not happening here.</p>

<p>Have you ever asked yourselves why engaging in a homosexual relationship is the chief cause of AIDS? I know that you’ll say that it can be transmitted through heterosexual sex, but it is much more likely to be transmitted through homosxual sex no matter how safe it is.
Again, I know that it can happen through hetero sex, but it originates from gay sex. It is well known that over 90% of AIDS patients in American are gay.
The fact that it is the number one cause of the most incurable disease there is today is justification enough that it should not be taken lightly and is in fact damaging society as a whole.</p>

<p>So your solution is to make a law based around an illness?That’s not how this country works.</p>

<p>My solution is to NOT make a law based on an illness. I’m saying: DON’T legalize gay marriage.</p>

<p>Why? Are gays not the same as straights? Dont they deserve the same rights?</p>

<p>not if they are spreading a disease that to this day has no cure. It may not be voluntary, but it still happens.</p>

<p>heterosexuals spread it as well. Also, whether or not gay marriage is allowed, gay people will still have sex. Your justification is completely illogical. The lack of gay marriage isn’t detering people from having sex</p>

<p>I know that. And I said it already.
It is more likely to be spread by gay people; no matter how safe it is.</p>

<p>Okay, then it isn’t a reason to not allow gay marriage. You have yet to present any reasons for why gays shouldn’t be allowed to get married other than “it grosses me out”</p>

<p>why is it classified as “gay” marriage? Marriage is marriage. If you categorize something outside what the majority of people are familiar with, then there are certain criteria it does not meet. It is different, thus there is something about it that does not go with the rest.</p>

<p>“why is it classified as “gay” marriage? Marriage is marriage. If you categorize something outside what the majority of people are familiar with, then there are certain criteria it does not meet. It is different, thus there is something about it that does not go with the rest.”</p>

<p>So the reason it shouldnt be allowed is because most people don’t agree with it? cough ad populum cough</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>But the whole point is that legistlators are trying to make laws to prohibit gays from getting marries.</p>

<p>stuck on – the only way to come to an objective conclusion is to rid yourself of all biases. You obviously have a bias against gays.</p>

<p>I don’t have a bias. The fact that just the thought of it makes me sickto my stomach doesn’t stop me from being objective. I know all the facts and came to the conclusion that allowing gays to get married is not the right thing to do. You may think of it as a conservative point of view, but it’s not. It’s perfectly objective and non biased.</p>
