    As a big gay, I’m still waiting to hear why gays and gay sex are immoral. As a big gay, you may be able to see why these issues are troubling me and I would like them addressing. So, don’t be a cowardly custard, come and justify your views, if you can.

    Morality is subjective tho

    Each person has their own set of morals so to THEM anything at all they find morally abhorent IS immoral, but that is no more a universally true view than that of someone who thinks the same thing ISNT immoral based on a different personal morality

    So no, I really cant see why these things trouble you really, I cant see why other peoples preferences, likes or dislikes should be of the slightest concern to you whatsoever to be perfectly honest

    As I wouldnt expect you to feel a need to change YOUR views just because someone else doesnt agree with them its EQUALLY reasonable for you to not expect someone else to change their views simply because you dont agree with them

    So “if” (as I’m not convinced) you ARE infact gay then thats “it”, youre JUST gay, youre nothing special, you being gay doesnt make you any better or worse than anyone else and it most certainly doesnt make your views or opinions any more important or valid than anyone elses

    If you cant accept other peoples views when they are different then you really give up the right to expect anyone to accept your views too

    The word “hypocrite” springs to mind

    Morality is subjective? There is no universal morality? That’s a lot more of a relativistic view than I would have expected from you, Mr Ubermik. I always had you down for a right and wrong, personal responsibility, meat and two veg type of chap. Still, there it is. So, by this line of reasoning, murdering people in cold blood with no particular motive except kicks is only immoral if you think it is? It’s not immoral per se? I’ll let Ian Brady know. It’ll be a weight off his mind.

    At least some of your intuition is good. I’m not really a big gay. Allow me to elucidate. I posted this because I had noticed on another thread (Emmerdale Farm) that someone had claimed that gay sex was immoral and therefore shouldn’t be encouraged with depictions of gay weddings on telly. I asked why gay sex was immoral, only to be confronted with the accusation that the only reason I had asked was because, to repeat the colourful idiom, I batted from the other crease.

    The originator of the Emmerdale Farm thread considered all this a diversion and off topic, so I decided to start a spin-off thread with the topic central. I considered how I might assert the true nature of my sexuality but decided that this was, to all intents and purposes given the nature of the medium, impossible. Instead, I decided that it didn’t really matter and was happy to accept the being gay bit right at the start, so as to get it out of the way.

    So, the question remains: Is homosexual activity immoral in of itself and, if so, why?

    Oh, and as you seem to be fond of a bit of extraneous insulting towards the end of a post, Ubermik, this is just for you: The word dullard springs to mind.

    Idont really think murder is a good comparative actually

    Its a law, not a personal view

    Although some do think ALL taking of life is wrong (jehovahs witnesses as an example) even during war, its not a legal personal option or choice whether to choose to be a murderer or to not choose that

    The law says its wrong and it doesnt matter what people think the law is in place till someone changes it

    As for not expecting that view, you should have really

    I never expect anyone to agree with anything I post nor to change their view because I have, I certainly dont think any view on most topics can be universal as each society is a unique construct

    If you pay more attention to what I am usually saying rather than the way I say it you will see my main bone of contention is integrity and consistency on a personal level

    IE, someone not doing something they criticise whilst being unaware they are being a total hypocrite

    I personally think anyone is and should be entitled to hold any view at all whether its racist, sexist, hieghtest or whatever-ist, and that IF by some chance most people come to share that view its not “wrong” its simply the majority speaking

    But on an individual level each view is perfectly entitled EVEN if someones view is that they SHOULD be able to murder anyone they like

    As long as they dont then go out and practise that view seeing as it IS illegal, then thats fine, they can think it and talk about it as much as they like and I couldnt care less

    Re gay weddings on TV tho, gays walk around in public so them getting married on TV is hardly an opinion that should be listened to or acted upon as I dont think the majority of people would be that bothered really, but if the majority WERE bothered then it should be banned or moved to the post watershed period

    As a personal opinion someone is just as entitled to find it disgusting and society destroying as someone is to think its cute and should be shown more

    Niether is universally more right or wrong than the other IMO

    It would however be reasonable to at least try and get some professional child psychologists views on how exposure to gay visuals might affect kids both positively and negatively

    But realistically that would be impossiible as they WILL be either staunchly pro gay or anti gay themselves so a lack of bias would be almost impossible to find

    I dont buy into the “people are ALL born gay” nonsense, but I also dont think that merely seeing a gay wedding on tv will make kids decide to be gay when they grow up, but having a narrow minded and dysfunctional pair of hetro parents IS quite likely to I reckon

    What consenting adults get up to behind closed doors is nobody elses business nor their problem EVEN where you have some very VERY lose moralled folks who practise the disgusting and slutty act of kissing someone on the first shag lol

    But just because its none of their business DOESNT IMO mean they arent entitled to find it repulsive, abhorent or unnatural until it directly affects them and their rights or makes their opinion less valid as a result of pursuing the minority agenda

    So anywhere a council thinks its fine to have gay literature it SHOULD be just as fine to have gay literature

    Although the current social tide means that its fine to have gay literature where peoplle who might be offended by that might be, but its not acceptable to have christian literature in a public building where gays might go and be offended which is where I think the line of validity has been crossed

    Morality..for the individual….may be be subjective but for society it becomes objective, particularly in law. We may not agree with its objectivity but are required to abide by its rules and regualtions or pay the penalty as a result.

    Hence paedophilia is subjecyively immoral to most but subjectively moral and indeed natural for some. However society has placed a boundary which is legally defined, objectively, as one not to be crossed. hence with murder, incest etc etc etc.

    If society, as a generic whole not as a myriad of individuals who are live, work, and sleep togehter, accepts the rule of law as objective (as indeed it must to maintain its stability without descending into anarchy) then it must recognise or at least accept the objectivity of morality in a legal sense. This acceptance therefore directly affects our sense of right and wrong over many many centuries and defines our nation’s character. It develops and evolves during that time to accept fundamental changes in law and will eventually take the viewpoint of the law.

    Hence homosexuality has only been legal for 30 years or so and hence we still have a viewpoint of many, formed by legislation and society’s view of right and wrong, which believes its wrong- society cannot metamorphasise overnight- it cannot wholly reneg on its committment to what is believed to be right until the 1960’s only to be then told “oops, we think we were wrong on this one”

    Homosexuality is not “wrong” because society says it isnt “wrong”. Individuals will say homosexuality is wrong because their views, as an individual, do not have to conform to society’s view. Give it a couple of centuries Pikey n we’ll have a gay black prime minister

    Wasnt that entire post just a tad pointless slayer?

    Considering that murder and the inherrant difference between something thats legal and something thats ILlegal was adressed in the later exchange already but instead you had an inate need to go back to the earlier post, act as tho it hadnt been clarified and state pretty much exactly what I had already expanded on anyway?

    Were homosexuality ILlegal then at this moment in time it would and should be treated like paedophilia and murder UNTIL that law changed

    But as its NOT illegal its not the same

    Obvious really

    So were Robin Hood, Gandhi and the like being immoral by subverting the law of their lands? Are we sure that law and morality are interchangeable as has been suggested or can morality sometimes exist independently of the legal framework or even sometimes in opposition to the legal framework?

    #293050

    As a society laws HAVE to be abided by otherwise you have anarchy and chaos if its deemed “ok” to only abide by laws you agree with

    But there should be a process to ammend, remove or replace those laws

    So I would defend a psychopaths right to petition for murder to be made legal, for them to state their case, voice their opinion and try to gain support even tho I wouldnt agree with their views

    I wouldnt however agree with them practising murder while it was illegal, but IF they changed the law then that would also have to be accepted at that time and people would be eqyally entitled to try and change the law back

    Homosexuality tho ISNT illegal now, so as I said to begin with they arent a good comarison for obvious reasons

    Ghandi was a passive activist so I dont see the relevance really, mandela however was a terrorist so that might have been a better choice

    Robin hood didnt live in times where there WAS a path for recourse and lobbying nor democracy, so again its not really a very good choice

    And law and morality ARENT interchangeable, they are EFFECTIVELY interchangeable

    Meaning that the law to some extent defines the acceptable legal limits of some aspects of morality that the majority (we would hope) felt necessary

    But social views and morality change so laws also need the ability to change too so they can accomodate the social change

    #293051
