I'm NOT saying that that's your opinion, I'm just asking you for clarification, because it sure seems like that's what you're saying IMO, your statement (not you, personally - your statement) is extremely offensive and arrogant, and I'm very surprised that you would make a statement like that.

So gays are a figment of their own imagination then eh? Is that the gist of it?

Homosexual in Swedish is "homosexuell". Article is "artikel" in Swedish, and irrelevant is "betydelselös" (it is also "irrelevant", but I like "betydelselös" better) . The impression I got from the part I read was "homosexual is a new word! And it's immoral!" Well "Google" as in "to google" is a new word, would you call that immoral? Of course not! That would be a huge leap of logic! Maybe the author makes a cohesive connection between the two later in the article that I simply didn't read. See, that's why I like abstracts and/or introductions that give a good overview of the article or paper. edited for spelling

I think the author has some difficulty with multiple definitions for words, and the habit words have of accruing new meanings over time, or even replacing their definitions with the complete opposite of the original. The article would have been much more effective had the author stuck to explaining why language supported his claim that the views on homosexuality have changed over time, instead of also attempting an arguement for returning to older terminology. It was far too fragmented in scope. Hmmm, it's been forever since I've posted in this thread. |

don't they already have the same rights as everyone else? i mean our rights are inalienable regardless of race, gender, or orientation.

The same basic human rights, yes. But while they wish to be outside the moral compass, they want greater rights. IMO, you can't have it both ways.
