    Obviously not because some religion books suggest that God had sent his persecution on the last nations who were like gays.

    I think if we allow gays we should allow pedos, bestiality, polygamy, and incest. But that is just me.

    In what way are they comparable? Specifically, How is a consensual relationship between two men comparable to a man raping a child?

    The 1950's called, They want their bigoted, ignorant opinions back. :rolleyes:

    You don't know what paedophilia is then. When a grown up has sex with a child it is always rape.

    So again, How is the rape of a child comparable to what two consenting men do together.

    Stox is utterly correct. The poster is comparing homosexuality between consenting adults to crimes.

    Pedophillia can be with a kid consenting. Not always 'rape' as in forced.

    A child isn't legally able to consent to sex. it is always rape. That is a legal fact.

    It used to be legal. They cannot legaly be able to consent but they can physically and emotionaly consent an why is it that the government can stand in the way of 2 people in love.

    A child is considered to have "consented" to sex with an adult? Is this really what you are claiming? That a human being, fully formed in mind and body, has openly and willfully consented to join in sex with an adult?

    I will ask you directly: are you advocating pedophilia as an acceptable thing?

    No I am not. I am taking other things considered abnormaly and comparing how the arguments in favor of homosexuality cannot be used unless you apply them to other couples that are 'weird'

    having sex with a child is not "weird", It's fucking sick.

    I think you need it explained to you what paedophilia is. it's an adults sexual attraction to prepubescent children. It's not an 18 year old guy having a 17 year old girlfriend, it's not two kids having a kiss and a cuddle behind a bike shed. it's when a fully grow person (generally a man) has sexual contact with a prepubescent child. it is never consensual (by definition) and it is never ok.

    How is that comparable to what two consenting men chose to do with each other?

    I understand what it is. I know its not an 18 and a 17 yr old. But technically girls are ready to have sex after their first period and are biologically supposed to be. Males can well whenever but could also around the same time frame as when girls start having menstual cycles.

    They are able to consent and used to. It used to be legal and still is in some nations.

    What I am getting at is that things like pedophilia and incest are way more natural them homosexuality and the emotional arguments that gay couples use should be thrown out because the points are not valid if you will not apply them to other cases.

    I am left rarely speechless, that you would place adult homosexuality in the same category as pedophilia, calling both "weird." One isn't "weird" to a significant part of the planet, and the other is a crime.

    Astounding, to me.

    We could list homosexuality as a crime. Would you stop suporting it then? And read my post that I got right before yours. We posted at the same time.
