What's so wrong about being gay?


I find that rather discriminative, outcasting people by their sexuality. :not_ok:

Oh, I certainly didn't mean it that way. I read the little thing on the bottom, "Hetracil is the most widely perscribed anti-effeminate medication in the United States, helping 16 million Americans who suffer from Behavioral Effeminism and Male Homosexuality disorder."

I just thought it strange that they called it a disorder, that they have medication (I wonder what exactly it does), and I thought it a little funny that 16 million Americans thought that they needed this drug to "cure" (if it really does) their behavior.
I'm sorry if I offended you, I most definetely didn't mean it that way and I apologize

Edit: And I didn't mean that there was anything wrong with being gay, but I think it quite manipulative of all of the new perscription drugs I'm seeing advertised to make you think you have a problem when you might not.

The whole thing reminds me of a Simpsons episode where they go to the future...
Lisa: But Mr. Smithers, I thought you were gay.
Smithers: Oh, no, I'm straight as can be... as long as I take these injections every three hours! (injects himself) Boobies!!

""Hetracil is the most widely perscribed anti-effeminate medication in the United States, helping 16 million Americans who suffer from Behavioral Effeminism and Male Homosexuality disorder."

LOL! This is part of the old argument whether homosexuality is the result of chemistry or social imprinting: nature vs nurture, as a neuro-biologist friend of mine from Sweden likes to put it. She says all the modern studies show that it's genetically and chemically determined, but I happen to think that social imprinting has its effect, too.

In any case, given the fear in Western civilization of homosexuals, and the tendency to think everything can be cured by drugs, this is a pretty funny parody. Or at least, I think it is. If I showed it to my wife, I'm sure she'd just stare and say something like "Oh, yeah?" but our senses of humor aren't exactly the best match.

Here is a cure for homosexuality?
Stop treating it like something bad and let all the people who are secretely homosexuals feel free and don't force them to live a life of lies and suppression. Then we will have far less people who are sexualy frustrated (at least) and who act in bad ways to feel better. (see some of: rapists, murderers, bullies, terrorists), who are so frustrated that go crazy after a while and commit all those crimes.

If you think what I wrote is against homosexuals, slap yourself, take a shower and read my paragraph again.
