lugal ( @lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English54•5 days agoSome people claim homosexuality is as old as humanity. This is clearly wrong. Homosexuality is much older
Likely as old as sexuality itself.

Owl ( @BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz ) English38•5 days agoGreat argument against the “bUt iTT”s nAtcHurAAL !!!11!!” for anything really. Natural does not mean good
Cyrus Draegur ( @Draegur@lemm.ee ) English4•5 days agoIt merely serves to illustrate that traditionalist conservative chudscum will say anything to excuse their disgusting barbaric inhumanity without actually believing it. They will make both of these arguments in the same breath. Then they’ll say their “god” works in “mysterious ways”. Arguing with them is a waste of time except in so far as being able to publicly embarrass them and get them so angry that they discredit themselves in their own irrationally because at least THEN you can convince some bystanders to not be like the waste of skin you just dunked on.

Emmie ( @Emmie@lemm.ee ) English17•5 days agoHomosexuality is natural. I don’t know about you but this is very soothing sentence in my mind after years of all sorts of morality figures saying the opposite. I want to like repeat it and savour it
Always was.

rickyrigatoni ( @rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee ) English13•5 days agoPenguins aren’t natural. They’re cybernetic sentinels made by the Illuminati to defend the Antarctic Wall and stop people from discovering the edge of the flat Earth.
humbletightband ( @humbletightband@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•5 days agoWhat a nonsense. Penguins are birds and birds are governmental drones aimed to spy on people, not to defend anything. Polar bears are!
PersnickityPenguin ( @PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee ) English3•5 days agoI take offense to that
Finally, the truth!!!
letsgo ( @letsgo@lemm.ee ) English12•5 days agoHas homosexuality been redefined?
I thought huddling together for warmth in cold weather was a survival technique: a method for staying alive, rather than counting as a sex act.
And two males bringing up an orphaned child seems like a jolly nice thing to do for the child and the community. If an orphanage is staffed by one sex, does that make the whole place a massive L/G orgy even if nobody is having sex with anyone else?

Since “no discrimination” was mentioned, I wonder if there’s actual discrimination in the animal kingdom, except us humans?
lightnsfw ( @lightnsfw@reddthat.com ) English7•5 days agoAre we sure that penguins can actually tell each other apart by gender and it’s not just pairing up with whoever’s most convenient and some of them get lucky?

CableMonster ( @CableMonster@lemmy.ml ) English4•5 days agoAre we pretending that humans and animals do the same things? You can be fine with homosexuality, but what animals do have nothing to do with what humans do.
Cyrus Draegur ( @Draegur@lemm.ee ) English12•5 days agoHumans are literally a categorical subset within the taxonomical kingdom of “animals”.
“People” who argue that humans aren’t animals are clearly vegetables :p /s
CableMonster ( @CableMonster@lemmy.ml ) English2•5 days agoSo then if animals do it then its the same as humans doing it?
Yes. Everything else is only because we perceive it differently, notably culturally. And that depends on the individual, time and culture that percieves it. And our perceptions aren’t always good but are built from other things including misconceptions.
CableMonster ( @CableMonster@lemmy.ml ) English2•5 days agoSo when a human rapes or murders and eats another human that is natural becuase animals do this?
Or maybe animals and humans are not the same and we dont get to pick and chose for memes…
It’s something that happens naturally, yes. I’m not picking and choosing nature. We can decide what we want to be, including the ability to chose to not be a bigot.
CableMonster ( @CableMonster@lemmy.ml ) English2•5 days agoAnimals frequently murder those other than themselves, so then is what could be considered bigotry also natural? If this is all natural then what is the whole point of calling things natural?
Sas [she/her] ( @Sas@beehaw.org ) English3•5 days agoThis is not a meme of everything natural being allowed but a meme countering bigots claiming homosexuality is unnatural which they take as the reason to not want it allowed (because they’ve already lost on the angle of it being ethically wrong). Just because something is natural, doesn’t mean it’s good. It just means it’s not unnatural and you’re somehow confusing the two. What’s good is an ethical and altogether different question.
Or in simpler terms: Bigots be bigots (homosexuality is evil) > we prove them wrong > they still be bigots and move goal posts (homosexuality is unnatural) > we for some reason indulge them and prove them wrong on the moved goal post > they move goal posts again claiming to have already forgotten that we’ve already long established that homosexuality isn’t ethically wrong, looking insane in the process > I wonder why i even talk to you and block you because every single time i see a comment of yours it’s some negative bigoted shit and I’m tired of engaging with you. You manage to make yourself look insane all on your own anyways
