> I am not wrong.
Yes, you are. You quite obviously didn't consider my plea for a
minute.
I can understand your reticence to continue the thread. But through
the entire thing you have never ONCE defended your belief that it's
wrong to associate with homosexuals and bisexuals on the grounds of
their sexual preference. You've made it abudantly clear that you don't
LIKE their sexual preference, yes, and that you think the act(s) in
question is sick. I've come to the conclusion that you CAN'T defend
this part of your argument. It's more comfortable to drop the
discussion, blaming everyone ELSE, after you realize you're in a logical
dead-end. It's much easier to hide your head in the sand than allow
the possibility that YOU might be wrong.
> I will not debate perverse/not perverse with you any more.
That ISN'T WHAT I'M DEBATING with you. It HASN'T been what I'm debating
with you for a very long time. What I am debating are your reasons for
deciding that, say, a friend whom you've known for quite some time and
like a great deal becomes a leper outcast unclean if you discover he's
bisexual. I'm not talking about ACTS, I'm talking about PEOPLE. I
don't like the ACT either. Some of the people who do it, I happen to
like very much. Some of them you might like, too, but you wouldn't be
willing to give them a chance, even knowing that they weren't going to
make a "pass" at you or act like a Saturday Night Live caricature of a
gay person. THAT'S what I've been trying to debate with you. I'm not
ASKING you to approve of the act, or even to stop thinking it's sick.
I'm asking you to explain why that instantly negates anything else good
about a person.
