dbst,
Even the nastiest things can be said in a very mild tone and respectable way. So you can't be rationalizing how you responded before. However, I do appreciate you coming around and with a very appreciative tone to discuss this matter. I have reiterated this before, even Amercian Psychiatric association does not term homosexuality as an illness. None of the medical schools (to the best of my knowledge) to date call it an illness, so I am assuming you have a strong case or research that indicates homosexuality as an illness. Otherwise, you are pulling your facts out of thin air and that does not make sense to me.
Regarding you being able to imagine having sex with a guy, may be you are somewhere in the middle of Kinsey scale (read that you might be able to better explore your sexuality). Rather than calling homosexuality an illness, keep an open mind about it. Analyze the facts about it and read the counter arguments against it. You are a rational being. Based on your research draw a conclusion. I do not believe you know much about homosexuality when you go ahead to call it a disease unless you have come across a study that says so. In that case, send it to me, I would love to read it. When scientists and researchers ,who know more than any of us, are hesitant to call it a disease- it will be wrong and arrogant to call homosexuality an illness.
Again, normalcy is a relative term. For you I am not normal. However, for pro-gay people, I am as normal as the person next to me. The definition of normalcy does not prove anything. And when it comes to my parents, I am the best person to know how they might feel. I have always shared this extra-ordinarily close bond with both my mom and dad. They have always been my pals. So, I know deep down they will come around. And, NO I am not going to live a lie. Can you imaigne yourself living with a guy - day in and day out? Perhaps not, because that is not what you want. Its the same for me too.
Anyways, thanks for your post.
