That was your first mistake.

Re: Heinz to withdraw 'Gay Kiss' advert!

I suppose the people who think that any act of union, which cannot result in conception, must think those who decide to remain lifelong virgins, such as priests and nuns, are the most unnatural of all.:rolleyes:

Again, I refer you to my earlier post.

Believing homosexuality is unnatural is a opinion on biology and by no means a signal of homophobia.

The thing is, we resist nature on a daily basis, by living to an old age instead of dying at around 30, by not conceiving children every time we have sex, by choosing not to pass on our genes, etc.

I didn't think that I needed to comment, but if you insist. Strictly speaking, contraception of any kind (including vasectomies) is going against nature, but as advanced human beings we override nature everyday. I feel like I'm going round in circles here. Homosexuality isn't natural, it's an aberration.

...and how do the many cases of homosexuality, in animal species other than man, override nature?

I've always wondred what hypocrisy smelled like.:D

Absolutely no justification for your comments.

I haven’t seen this advert but if it showed two men kissing on the lips then I would have been disgusted. It happened once in Dr Who too, when the doctor kissed Captain Jack.

Homosexuality is against nature and just an unfortunate mix of genes.

All life forms on this planet are here to procreate and further the species. Homosexuals cannot do this naturally. So if someone is born as a homosexual it is nature’s way of ensuring that that particular mix of genes cannot be passed on. We defy nature at our peril.

What is totally wrong is one partner in a lesbian relationship becoming pregnant by whatever means and for them to bring that child up or to adopt a child. The same goes for two gay men adopting a child even if one of them actually fathers that child.

Just imagine the bullying at school or on the street when it becomes known that little Johnny or Mary has two parents of the same sex. That kids life will become a misery. Kids can be vicious against kids from ‘normal’ families so what chance has little Johnny with two dads?

There is enough child sexual abuse going on from its natural parents as it is, so imagine the potential abuse of a young girl whose parents are lesbians? Or a young boy who has two male parents?

Parents will bring kids up in their own image. If two lesbians or two gay men had a child of their sex to bring up, wouldn’t they do the same? A child learns from its parents and even if it isn’t born with the wrong mix of genes the poor kid could learn to bend that way, because for it, it is the norm.

Though let's not forget that homosexuals are the result of a 'natural' heterosexual coupling.;)

sory but that dosnt sit right with me and although no expert i dont think gay male couples who have children would expect a child to call a man mummy just as 2 lesbian women wouldnt expect a child to call a woman daddy

well thats what i think anyway

Agreed!

Re: Heinz to withdraw 'Gay Kiss' advert!

i listened to the advert on the radio when it was been dicussed and the dj said the boy called a man mummy and that is the bit i think was bad taste,if the boy didnt call a man mummy then fair enough but i posted on the information i had heard on bbc radio2

either way heinz chose homosexuality to boost their product just like eastenders did when they boosted their shows ratings by showing 2 men snogging for the first time on a tv show

when there are no people left who are against homosexuality to talk about it what are they going to use to shock people with adverts

pedophiles promoting habbo sweets in a playground perhaps ?

There is absolutely no evidence that this is the case.

After all, if we are the result of nurture rather than nature, there wouldn't be any homosexuals at all, as the vast majority of children are brought up by heterosexual parents.

The percentage of homosexuals is exactly the same in whatever type of household a child is reared in, regardless of the gender, or the sexual orientation, of the parent(s).

People who are infertile are ‘built’ that way. If they cannot spawn offspring it is natures way of not allowing the ‘wrong build’ from being passed on.

That's why they have a man at Queens Park with Valium and a knife. :rolleyes:

Would it not be their parents who are 'unnatural', in the fact that they produced someone who was infertile, and had already passed on their genes?
