Homosexuality equivalent to heart disease?
Interesting story on CBC.ca right now about a gay pride day and a heterosexual pride day taking place in Yellowknife, during the month of June.
I'm sure most gays and lesbians weren't happy with their spokesperson up in Yellowknife... here's how he reacted to the separate day for heterosexuals:
Will the days and weeks marking physical ailments, such as heart disease and strokes, be paired with an equal number of days that will celebrate good health?
Wouldn't this be something someone who was of the belief that being gay was a disease would say? It sure sounds that way.
This reminds me of a group I heard of a few months ago... which was a group of gays against abortion under the theory that genes and other factors could determine the sexual orientation of a child in the womb and would therefore possibly promote abortions of genetically homosexual children. They said they were pro-life in case such a situation ever arose... essentially conceding and saying that it was basically a disease like other diseases that were possible to detect in the womb. It was a pretty shocking story, because the group was standing for the rights of gay unborn children and not really for the rights of other unborn children. Why not be consistent and either oppose or support the "right" to abortion in both circumstances?
