[QUOTE="CaramelChocolate, post: 105660, member: 228"] I do find it extremely frustrating that people reply to a thread without even bothering to read other replies. This is a discussion forum which means people discuss with each other and reply to certain comments in order to re-establish certain opinions or have a better understanding of a subject. I suspect that the vast majority of Sikhs who reject homosexuality on a scriptural/religious level do so because of a personal assumption about the nature of homosexuals and homosexuality, often due to personal disgust rooted in cultural/social norms, or because of lack of experience with the homosexual community. These people may walk past a gay club/bar or see some homosexuals on TV and think they know what it is all about. I bet they have never interacted with a gay person in the normal public sphere and got to know them as a person. These people are so ignorant and they are incapable to believe or realise they see loads of homosexual men and women in a daily basis. There are some things such people may never understand due to not delving in and bothering to understand a community. Any person who believes that homosexuality is a hypersexual fixation (like a heterosexual man with a foot-fetish who needs this to be fulfilled every waking minute) is seriously deluded. Homosexuals have been persecuted throughout history and this continues into the modern day, be it from culture, society or the legal system in some countries. For every 20 Sikh males, around 2 of them will be gay. FACT. No argument. They may be the most masculine person in the world, married, whatever, you would never even think it. Because SOCIETY and CULTURE place them in a position where they are not able to be themselves. This causes great psychological damage and often results in lact of fidelity which the wife may never discover. In the UK the law forbids trying to change people's sexual orientation, this is because of the unhealthy psychological impact that this causes on the individual. The attempted suicide rate in the homosexual community is much higher, at 30%. I can vouch for this statisitic as a homosexual male. The heterosexual male/female who tells us that homosexuality is abominable and lustful is obsessed with sex themselves - everyone should have sex in the way they do. This is a *******ed intrusion of people's personal lives. As long as people are having sex only with one person in their lives then it does not matter about the gender. To compare homosexuality with zoophilia or rape is hilarious because these cruel things are usually about A) power, or B) twisted sexual fantasies. When two people engage in sex together a bonding hormone is released between them to make them close to each other, similar to that released during breast feeding. In zoophilia and rape love cannot develop, because the hormone is not produced by the other side (aspect of consent and arousal), in the same way that the hormones would not be released if a gay male were with a heterosexual woman since he would not be able to emotionally submit to her completely. Therefore sex is NOT simply for procreation it is for establishing a healthy relationship which should be with one other consenting person in one's life. I will not post any further as people are likely to ignore what I have said and repeat previous arguments. [/QUOTE]
