Boorite, none if this is news to me. In case anyone hasn't realized, the feelings on homosexuality comic was not even serious.
I've taken PSY101, I know this.
for the sake of argument, so do serial killers. 10% of Mensa's membership is in prison (but that stat is word of mouth so don't ask me to back it up.
But by whose definition? And it's not watchdogs that people need to watch out for, but private lawsuits against discrimination.
quote:
The incidence of most, if not all, "mental disorders" (e.g., drug abuse) varies widely across cultures. Not so homosexuality. According to The Encyclopedia of Cultural Anthropology, the fraction of persons preferring exclusively same-sex partners is relatively stable across the anthropological record-- somewhere around 7%. This number does not vary much, despite social attitudes ranging from indifference to taboo. So it seems almost as if homosexuality is somehow part of God's Plan.
Lastly, heterosexuality and homosexuality are recently-minted concepts. In many other cultures, a person was not considered to "have" some mysterious "sexuality" that could was either AC or DC-- or with the innovation of Kinsey, somewhere in between. The idea did not exist except where the mode of production required a specific economic unit called the nuclear family.
Just FYI.
yup yup yup. That doesn't change my
opinion that some guys get turned on by the thought of getting a piece of (male) ass. I can look at a guy and think "he's attractive". Shit, I think Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, and Brad Pitt are the sexiest men in Hollywood. That doesn't mean I wanna jump in the sack with them by any means. It's a different kind of attraction.
