I have come accross the following in previous posts:
*Homosexuality is unAfrican. It was brought to Africa by the west.
*There are no animals that engage in homosexual behaviour.
Bigotry and ignorance at their best.

Brother, You are right about heterosexuals always talking about their orientation in so many words and in so many places. Lets take the right to associate that you have given. You are also right. I add, that gays, whether they know it or not, accept it or not, are always 'proselytizing' or seeking 'new' flesh when the euphoria of the 'old' wanes. You know, they are hardly the paragon of monogamy. Think of the revulsion atheists get when they are being proselytized. The desire to make new friends and associate, if and when the opportunity avails itself, and the accompanying desire to invite these new friends see the 'truth' is a 'right'. Now suppose paedophiles also claimed this 'human right' to associate and express their truth too,,,,,,, At some point, claims to 'rights' have got to be tethered and denied. If it is any consolation, even heterosexuals have this 'human right' to associate and express their truth tethered. We could ask the bigamists incidentally in those capitals where these very 'human rights' of association and truth expression are being championed and sent out to the world if their 'rights' of association and truth expression are being honored. Therefore, I still insist that 'human rights' are not gay rights and the use of 'human rights' as a gay crutch is illogical.

To 'tether' or 'constrain' rights in a bid to prevent 'conversion' is to say that truthful discussion on sexuality and other aspects of human living is impossible. Otherwise why shouldn't the homosexuals also be proselytized? Again, heterosexuality isn't by itself better or preferable to homosexuality. What accounts for purity and righteousness is 'Godliness'. An encounter and intimate relationship with 'God'. And it's this encounter that transforms. Denying anyone the freedoms of speech and association is denying him/her this encounter. If there are people who need human rights, then they are the 'lost'.

The gays do like to use generalized concepts. They have generalized 'human rights'. I almost thought you too have generalized the concept of discussing 'other aspects of human living' when you termed it impossible if a gay is denied his right. Heterosexuality has ensured you exist today. What could have happened to you if say just 600 years ago, when present technology was not there, your ancestors did not have sex with your other ancestors that resulted to births instead each preferred their respective sexes? On that single score, heterosexuality is far better and exceedingly preferable than homosexuality. ION, What accounts for purity and righteousness is faith and obedience. Hence faith and obedience facilitates an encounter with God. I do not see how accessing human rights can facilitate an encounter with God but you and I do not have to proselytize each other on this point. I understand your position well and I know you understand mine. I am unsure what is meant by 'intimate relationship with God' - after reading an article @Mtu Biz wrote about 'looving' God and crooning love songs to him, instead of loving God and obeying his commandments if you love him. Or how have you used the word 'intimate' and 'God'? lol.

Sparkly's theory of human sexuality:- Human sexuality is a continuum between Homosexuality and heterosexuality, where heterosexuality is the extreme. Lets face it women-women bonds are power strong men-men bonds are power strong. Men-Women bonds are only for procreation. Life is short. Live passionately.

Aldulterers should also come out to support each other since those involved are at all times consenting aldults.Before you get mad,let me ask you to show some love to the man who screws your wife since,in your words,the fellow isn't landing on you. Sir, Gay is a sexual orientation so you cannot really group them with aldulterers why are you so bothered by who is sleeping with who? Are you sure you don't have feelings for other men and you're just bashing them to hide your feelings? I am straight so it really doesn't bother me since I know I will always meet women and I don't have to compete with gay people! can anyone tell me what swahili pilipi saying stated? Pilipili usiyoila yakuwashiani? Rollout, Mr., you are wrong. Gays want a redefinition of 'marriage'. In this light what do you think is the distinction between them? Your opinion about 'marriage' orients your view, oreo cookie. Do you believe the redefinition of marriage BS? How can a gay couple redefine your marriage? By the way the biggest threat to marriage is not homosexuality, if anything, it would be dirvoce!
