Nope, that's not what I said. You're manipulating everything I just said.
No, I'm not; I'm following through the logic.
Yes, a homosexual, by definition, cannot have romantic love for the same sex, but only lustful temptation. My point exactly.
Sorry, that was a typo on my part. It was meant to read "a homosexual, by definition, cannot have romantic love for the
opposite sex".
A homosexual
definitely can have romantic love for the same sex. To state otherwise is an insulting lie and complete misrepresentation of the reality of homosexuals' lives.
Sexual orientation is exactly what it is, sexual, therefore having to do with sex and only sex.
It's more than sexual. It's "sexual" in the sense of "gender" not simply the act of sexual intercourse.
A heterosexual cannot have romantic love for the same sex, but can for the opposite sex, because of his/her sexual orientation.
A homosexual cannot have romantic love for the opposite sex, but can for the same sex, because of his/her sexual orientation.
And no, I cannot feel romantic love for the same sex because I wasn't born with such a disorder. You, however, have a problem that you need to get over.
Contradictory.
If emotional love is boundless that means you must be able to have romantic love for the same sex and as a result be able to find the same sex physically attractive by your own logic.
If not, that means something else is at work here: namely, sexual orientation. Sexual orientation causes a person to have a preference toward one sex or the other.
Moreover, it's not a "disorder"--a fact agreed upon by every single medical and behavioral science institution in the country. They also agree that it is an inborn, innate trait that is unmalleable.
No, I don't have a problem I need to get over. The problem is yours: bigotry. You clearly have a dislike for not only homosexuality but homosexuals themselves and you have no problem generalizing about the group and insulting them excusing it as warranted by your interpretation of your religious text.
