(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Important note: This is a very touchy subject to some people and rightfully so. Whilst negative comments about any given sexuality are OK, pointless and unnecessary bashing of other people's sexuality will not be tolerated. Once you cross this line your post(s) will be deleted and you will be warned, and if you persist you will be punished for flaming. I know this is a very strongly worded warning, however I feel given the thread topic it's utterly necessary.


Anyway, onto the debate itself- sexuality. There are many different labels of sexuality, so I'd thought I'd list them below(largely C/P to save time, if I missed any or falsely described anything let me know):

• Heterosexuality- Is the sexual attraction between members of the opposite sexes such as a man attracted to a woman and vice-versa.
  
• Homosexuality- is the sexual attraction between members of the same sexes such as man to man and woman to woman.
  
• Bisexuality- Is the sexual attraction to both the opposite and same sexes such as man to man and man to woman, woman to woman and woman to man.
  
• Asexuality- Is also known as nonsexuality which is the lack of sexual attraction and sexual interest towards others.
  
• Polysexuality- Is the sexual attraction to more than one gender but do not wish to be known as bisexual as it implies that there are only two binary sexes, do not confuse this with pansexuality ('pan' meaning all) and ('poly' meaning many).
  
• Pansexuality- Is the sexual attraction towards people regardless of gender also known as omnisexuality. Some pansexuals refer to themselves as gender blind as to them gender is insignificant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others.
  
• Transexualism- Is when a person identifies themselves as a certain sex different from their own biological one. For example a person may be born male, and is uncomfortable with their gender as a male and changes to a female, or vice-versa.
  

Personally I'm heterosexual, however I have no problems with other people expressing their own sexuality and being who they really are.

Feel free to comment below and be honest, then hopefully this thread can be used to maturely discuss sexuality away from the nonsense you so often see elsewhere

There's nothing wrong with being irreligious. It's certainly the best option morally and logically in my view.

No, that italic paragraph is pretty much what I'm pushing. I don't know why you're so afraid to offend the religious when their sensibilities have restricted the rights of people for hundreds of years and continue to do so even today.

If it's how you say it is, that one has to believe everything in the holy books, then I can't follow a religion. I refuse to follow one which claims that you should love everyone yet singles out certain groups of people like homosexuals and people of other religions.

That's about it, yeah. Why would a supposedly infallible religion adapt? That would be contradictory and yet that's what religion does in order to remain relevant.

Indeed, it's quite sad when I think about it. Churches claim they support the LGBT community, but of course it goes against their supposed beliefs. I'm sure they wish it wasn't the case, I wish it wasn't the case, but it is. If only things were so simple.

I'm wondering, what if one day Jesus showed up again and told everyone where they went wrong with religion? The Bible was wrote by a man of course, as Russell Brand said "The Holy Spirit didn't have a pen". It would make religious groups such as the WBC look twice as bad as they already are. I wonder how the rest of the world would react, and how everything would change.

However, if Jesus exists (which I believe he may) then I don't think he will ever visit earth again. Religion is about faith and believing of course, and God only rewards the people who believe in him and obey his commandments. There are many answers we want to find when discussing religion and how it causes discrimination, but it's answers we will never get.

I figure I needn't make a new thread for this - how do people feel about incest? Morally, practically, personally, et cetera.

I don't know enough about it to form an opinion on it, I think it's wrong if they have children though. It wouldn't be fair on the child.

Ignoring the small chance of medical issues that incestuous relationships can cause, on what basis are you saying that? It sounds an awful lot like the same fallacious argument used to prevent gay couples from having kids.

Maybe I'm uninformed. I thought there was a huge chance of medical issues.
