Why are all homosexual relationships...

[Toboe]

Based on sexual gratification. I have heard this claim by many people and I thought it deserves its own thread.

Because I haven't seen where God has declared "a man shalt not be a friend to another man" or "they were given over to depraved minds and had friendships".

I am going to have to disagree with you. Having known several homosexuals they say their relationships are just like heterosexual couples. Of course their are going to be people on this thread say that why is heterosexuality based on sexual gratification.

I won't claim to know what the real answer is but my opinion is that Homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. But thats just my opinion.

Yea next time try answering the question.

I did. If the sexual content were not part of the "situation", it would be common, acceptable and it wouldn't be an issue with society or with various religious teachings.

I did.

....well answer it better.

Based on sexual gratification.

Because the act of sex is a choice and choices can be punished.

Homosexual relationships are not based on sexual gratification any more than heterosexual relationships are. The reason sex comes up so much is because it's the part of the relationship people have so many problems with. Imagine the thread, "Is it a sin for 2 men to split the electric bill?" See... it doesn't work. In my experience, it is the homophobe who is so obsessed with homosexual sex. Homosexuals are just going about their business in much the same way your parents do.

Extremely hateful to assume that all homosexual relationship are just about sex, why would some homosexuals what to get married if it was just about sex they obviously care about one another

Based on sexual gratification.

Their not.
You heard wrong.

If people didn't keep insisting that homosexual attraction isn't as 'real' or as 'true' as hetrosexual attraction, maybe homosexual's wouldn't need to talk about sex so much?

I didn't say that I believed that that. I said other people said it.

Because those who have chosen to hate rather than love need to prop up their personal prejudices with nonsense like this. It is the equivalent of suggesting black people enjoy singing spirituals while lazing about and eating watermelon.

Fair enough. Then my post isn't directed to you, but to the 'others'

Perhaps we could all use to talk about sex a little less

I'm not sure I understand the OP, and judging from the varied angle of the responsive posts here, I'm not sure everyone else here does either. I guess my general response to the statement is: My own same-sex relationship is based on lots of things, not just sexual gratification. But it seems obvious to me that the reason the sex part tends to be what we talk about in debate forums like this one is because that's the part which is opposed by those who oppose homosexuality. (See, e.g., CC's post #5 in this thread).

Your posts are so obtuse sometimes... It'd be nice if you spoke plainly from time to time.

 

[Arnold_Philips]

And, in response to the OP, my homosexual relationship isn't based on sex, though it certainly is part of it, just like healthy sexual habits should be part of any romantic relationship.

You can once again, keep your racist remarks to yourself.
People that happen to be Black don't need your associating their heritage with sexual immorality only to cap it off with a racial slur.

Why not? Skin colour and sexual orientation are both unchosen traits that people face discrimination and hate for.

And the poster was only pointing out that gross (literally) generalisations can be applied to any group. Doesn't make it true, though.

No racism here. Move along!

(And before any mounting of high horses is done; I am black)

As usual, the injection of race into the issue is off topic; but as for your embracing a sexual immorality with a racial heritage, I seem to not recognize your credentials for speaking on behalf of a large group of Black people.

Black caucus resists comparison of gay 'marriage' to civil rights
Congressional black Democrats said comparisons shouldn't be made between the struggle by homosexuals to legalize same-sex "marriage" and the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus said they are on shaky ground with their constituents after the presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry compared the two issues during a town hall meeting in Jackson, Miss.,
