Err, what? So you agree with the concept of "conversion therapy"? Because that would be the logical conclusion from your claim. — Derukugi
Why need to be exact? A guy that comes out of the cupboard an admit that he prefers to fuck guys, thats exact enough for me. I only know homo guys and this has been kind of the process. Guess lesbos are pretty much the same.What, exactly, is (a) homosexual? — tim wood
he prefers to fuck guys — Ansiktsburk
That's sex as behaviour. But I infer that you would agree that behaviour is not an adequate test - And all that I'm on about is the difficulty in defining it, if it is even definable, and it may not be! It may turn out to be a term something like "race," which 50+ years of science has shown to be a meaningless term.Maybe the majority of people are, per Outlander bisexual. That's what Kinsey found, at least if you include every sex act a person performs between 18 and 88. — Bitter Crank

Racists, racism, yes. Race, no. Quite a few youtube videos on the topic. And two referenced here on one of the threads, but I cannot quickly find them.I think we've gone too far in claiming that there is no such thing as race. — Bitter Crank
The fact that something may be able to be changed does not entail that it should be changed — Janus
What, for example, does it say about a person not in a state of arousal? — tim wood
