If being gay was completely normal and healthy, then something so harmless shouldnt end the species if everyone decided to be that way. Men and women are designed to reproduce and keep the species alive - if you have no interest in that, because you want to stay single or be gay, fine. But don't try and propagate deeply corrupt world views on everyone else, especially fragile young minds.

Hilariously, your avatar advertises the most homoerotic movie this year (way more homoerotic than anything portrayed in Strange World). Keep shoving your true feelings down buddy.

1 is a theory; 2 could be cause and effect; 3 sounds fishy to me, probably another environmental cause.

Remember when two dudes could be bros, or in a "bromance", without it being considered gay? I remember. Though I don't understand this "haha if you don't wanna watch gay then you must be secretly gay" logic.

I agree with #1 . Biology & Facts = GOOD. Wish others would get the "memo" about this and we would use these two concepts more often.

#2 is also right but it is a fact that reproduction of any species requires heterosexual entities to engage in reproductive activities. Or, the species becomes extinct. Pretty sure this isn’t a concern for humanity though.

#3 Dafuq? Huh? Citations needed here…. . Even if true, it has to be a minuscule portion of that species population or they’d die out fast. Ties in with my comment regarding item #2.

The classic bromance! That’s a good thing. Nothing wrong with dudes having close relationships. Hell, I got friends I’m close with but I still love girls when it comes to THAT stuff.

I think it was confirmed for the 24th, but the post was deleted.

You'd be surprised.

Ok then.... but, like I said, if it becomes rampant then those species cannot reproduce enough and could become extinct. Just basic biology. . Im sure it wont since its never seemed to be tied to any species going extinct. Usually, like an asteroid hitting the Earth does more damage.

Anyway finally saw it and thought this movie was alright

Some really great environment and creature designs, and I think the themes of the story were generally good. There were just parts of the animation and dialogue that were a bit too cartoony/kiddie for my tastes that stopped me from really loving it. All felt kinda basic as opposed to what I typically expect from Disney Animation these days

EDIT: Just looked at the previous posts from ol bluearth and yikes. Always nice when a new movie comes out that makes someone on here absolutely lose their mind so I know who to mute and never see their posts again

The problem with your no.1 is that it is still a theory. Something that has not been scientifically proven. Not 100%. They don't know what causes it, what gene it is, if it's the mother or father who carries said unknown gene, etc. We're just not there yet to say if it is truly biology. Even still, choices play a role in some biology. Not that the choices we make against said biology are good ones. it's just that there are ALWAYS choices. And I like to acknowledge the devil advocates as it tends to help win your argument better.

Man, I hear ya. I really do. Even though I don't know much about that last sentence. There is something though about "hanging" with your bro that is just infinitely more satisfying. And I do not mean it in a dirty way. I think it is just easier to "hang" with guys than it is girls. There isn't a lot of that messy emotional stuff that women can pull. Now, this is not a knock on women at all, as I love women in a lot of aspects. Especially, in the arts. I've just found it hard to be with women on an emotional level. Even just platonically. Too many hoops to jump through. Not meaning that EVERY woman is like this, but I've been around too many that are to bother. But these are my experiences. It may be different with others. Men, for me, just seem infinitely easier to be around.

I'm gay, and I didn't choose anything. **** off.

this thread sucks, shut it down
