  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Harvey Milk is not for anyone to emulate.
Agreed. She says they are to teach people not to be jerks to the LGBT community. I say it is to teach kids that it is normal, aka normalized. Everything about LGBT is, at its root, sexual. "Deviant" means differing from a norm or from the accepted standards of a society. Heterosexuality is the norm. Therefore, LGBT is by definition, sexual deviance, and all the books encourage the normalization and acceptance of it.

I don’t think attraction is a choice, but behavior is.
LGB sexual attraction not is a choice. Neither is being an arachnophobic. But in both situations, people become them after some sort of trauma, usually at a very young age.

Note: this study only discusses childhood sexual trauma in homosexuals. But there are numerous other childhood traumas like physical abuse and emotional neglect that contribute to a psychological shift leading to same sex attraction.

He's not my favorite LGBTQA+ icon either, which is why I don't buy the book. But, like Charlie Kirk, just because he's not my favorite doesn't mean he deserved being assasinated, nor does that mean he has no cultural relevance, not does it mean that I don't understand that some people feel differently and want resources that reflect their values. Welcome to America.

Not being a jerk is, in fact, something that should be normalized.

Everything about LGBT is, at its root, sexual. "Deviant" means differing from a norm or from the accepted standards of a society. Heterosexuality is the norm. Therefore, LGBT is by definition, sexual deviance, and all the books encourage the normalization and acceptance of it.
Again, if you're looking at gay people or hearing about gay people or thinking about gay people and the first place your mind wanders is to what their bedroom habits are, that's your sexualization, not theirs. That's 100% in your control, not theirs. Most of us are perfectly capable of seeing people, even seeing people as a couple, and not wandering into an internal monologue about what they do or don't do in the bedroom. For all you know, my husband and I engage in sexual deviancy that would make a drag queen blush and whatever you imagine they do seem like a Hallmark movie. You don't know.

If you don't want to know about what they're doing, stop thinking about it.

Yup. He didn't deserve to die and what happened to him was terrible. No argument from me.

I didnt even read after this. For liberals, merely saying that men and women are biologically different is all it takes to be called a jerk. So frankly, I do not care what liberals think or feel about others. Because the pattern of behavior has shown is that anyone who disagrees with them are hateful, racist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, Nazi, fascist, jerks. So I really dont care who you or other woke liberals like you think is jerkish behavior.

Edit: While you are at it, look up the definitions of the words 'gay,' 'lesbian,' 'bisexual,' and 'sexual orientation.' In fact, look up the definition of 'sex' while you are at it too. Then explain to me why sexual deviance shouldn't be a proper term used to describe LGBT other than because of your feelings?

Way to announce not achieving bare minimum of discourse then, I guess.

Sounds like you need to pick up a copy of the book, then.

Obligatory reminder that I'm a left-leaning moderate, not a woke, leftist, whatever whatever.

I already know the definitions of those words. Sexual deviance implies illegality or away from social, cultural, and consensual (within the party) activities. Obviously, I'm not OK with lack of consent regardless of who it is or what their beliefs are, but the rest of it is pretty mainline stuff. Mainline enough that you can imagine it easily and get upset about it occurring. Mainline enough that some of it is enjoyed by heterosexual couples just as much and maybe more (occasionally... YMMV).

Wrong. According to the psychological dictionary, sexual deviancy is any sexual behaviour that is seen to be different from the norms we expect. You dont think LGBT is sexual deviance because the liberals have tried for decades to normalize it. I refuse to allow the liberal woke agenda to gain another inch of ground in this culture war. Not only are conservatives going to stand their ground, we are going to take back what was lost. Therefore, I reject your argument or opinion. LGBT is by definition, sexual deviation along with beastiality, polygamy, and polyamorism.

No. You are not.
Hmmmm… Who’s opinion to believe about who I am and what I believe… You, who doesn’t know anything about me, or me, who happens to know a lot about me?

Man. That’s a toughie.

Perhaps it’s my husband you’re looking for? He’s the super liberal, left wing, woke whatever whatever.

Which does not include sex acts that may or may not also be what LGBTQA+ people do too. It includes things like exhibitionism, necrophilia, etc.
You dont think LGBT is sexual deviance because the liberals have tried for decades to normalize it.
Or because I understand the definition of the words better than you do…
I refuse to allow the liberal woke agenda to gain another inch of ground in this culture war.
Good for you, sport. You go ahead and just shout right at that cloud.

It is by no definition that, lol. You can reject it or not, but it doesn’t change the facts. You can reject that 2x2=4, that the earth is round, or that the alphabet starts with “A” for all of me. Doesn’t impact me at all, just lets me know how informed you aren’t or are.

N., Sam M.S., "SEXUAL DEVIANCY," in PsychologyDictionary.org, April 13, 2013,
So that, my friend, is a spoof website run by a fake person and not a legitimate scientific authority.

APA Dictionary of Psychology however, is the actual entry by actual certified people that represent the basic intellectual standard of the industry. It says:

any sexual behavior, such as a paraphilia, that is regarded as significantly different from the standards established by a culture or subculture. Deviant forms of sexual behavior may include voyeurism, fetishism, bestiality, necrophilia, sadism, and exhibitionism.

And for paraphilia it says:

in DSM–IV–TR, any of a group of disorders in which unusual or bizarre fantasies or behavior are necessary for sexual excitement. The fantasies or acts persist over a period of at least 6 months and may take several forms: preference for a nonhuman object, such as animals or clothes of the opposite sex; repetitive sexual activity involving real or simulated suffering or humiliation, as in whipping or bondage; or repetitive sexual activity with nonconsenting partners. Paraphilias include such specific types as fetishism, frotteurism, pedophilia, exhibitionism, voyeurism

So you know what? I’ll go with that… The legitimate definition used by professionals, not the testimony of Dr M. S. Who of Whoville, or you, who has not only a clear bias, but who admitted that when you hear about drag queens reading to children that your mind immediately goes to thinking about the sex acts said drag queen may engage in, which I think is a weird thing to own up to… Seems like that would have done better as an inside thought than an outside one.

Mixing colors? That's it?

Isn't that what we started here with?

See only what you want to see.
That's all you showed us. I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm just saying that we need a reason to think you're right. And you could be. But mixing colors is kind of a public school thing. Grooming them to be readers seems to be the real concern.

So would sexual assault be a sexual deviancy?

Ya think so? Better tell the leader. Hatred for LGBTQ is, for the leadership, mostly a means to rally the troops by fear. It's not principled; it's tactical.

And you know what? I dont care. Scientific brain rot build on a layered pyramid of scientific brain rot with a foundation of "how do we normalize weird sex stuff."

What about it?
Just pointing out that MAGA's hostility to LGBTQ is largely performative. Not that they wouldn't abuse such people if there was a political payoff in it, But it's not a matter of principle. And the question I asked...
Wrong. According to the psychological dictionary, sexual deviancy is any sexual behaviour that is seen to be different from the norms we expect.
So would sexual assault be a sexual deviancy? I'd really like to know what you think.
