When the people who disagree with mountains turn out to be mountains themselves it becomes downright hilarious.
This half assed analogy is cracking me up
Trying to watch my calories so it’s only half ones for a while.
These gay mountains are so gay.
brokeback mountain or something
That’s actually my personal theory on why they think it’s a choice. For them, it IS a conscious choice, because they’re gay and making an active choice to suppress it. They think everyone has gay urges, because they’re incapable of imagining a world where they aren’t their lived experience isn’t the default.
They can’t see the mountain range with all the mountains or something
You think there’s always been gay people? Even in ancient Greece? Sure, let’s just pretend all those hairy daddy bears weren’t wrestling each other for totally heterosexual reasons.
When everyone was gay… noone was
or the totally not homo ancient romans grooming twinks
it’s not gay if you’re societally obliged to do it
My experience being born into religious conservative white america is that phrases like “I don’t believe in” or “I don’t agree with” are just the politically correct language and/or dog whistle for “I hate that shit but I need to act polite.”
I have (RCWA) family members who, in their words, “don’t believe in Halloween”. Halloween being a holiday celebrated in many countries and one that happens every year, which is all over the media, with products in nearly every store, and even shows up on most typical calendars in this country.
I think it might have to do with their Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis selves.
I need to know, what does RCWA stand for? I’ve searched for RCWA, RWCA, and RCAW, but nothing comes up that makes sense in this context. It’s driving me a bit crazy.
One time, my dad, fully serious, said to me that homosexuality didn’t exist in nature outside of humans.
It was like finding out that you have a below average penis.
My stomach dropped in shame when I was so starkly faced with the mental faculties of one of my biological guardians I had been raised by. Was I staring at my limit?
What about those other kids, whose parents are educated and empathetic and who will ask real probing questions and can answer them? Will my facilities slow to a crawl soon, to keep pace with my genetic fate?
Are these fears so average that I should bow my head in the river, afraid to even express them, lest I be confronted by the entire history of humanity?
Maybe biological nature isn’t everything, maybe fate isn’t real and change is truly in our hands, ready to be molded, potentially even into chaos.
“Better stupid than dead”, huh? It’s staring right back at me, blankly, waiting for me.
Fortunately for you, while there’s definitely some genetic component to it, it’s definitely not the only factor by any means. I’ve known some very intelligent people who believe some very dumb shit.
My dad is a flat earther
Bring your dad to a pond and feed the ducks. If he can recognize drakes vs hens he’ll figure it out soon enough.
By writing this comment I think you’ve already got your answer. You seem very eloquent and you’ve got a mind that’s not afraid to go places. Don’t worry, you’ll be just fine.

Would just be like “Neither does fucking Bud Light dumbass!”
Christians (esp. fundies) really don’t work with the same concepts as everyone else
for example, homosexuality is now known to be mostly a matter of biology (of course, a repressive environment might lead people to suppress, but I’m doubtful that is relevant to the underlying question of their innate sexual orientation, which remains unchanged)
but for science-denying Christians who are taught that homosexuality is “sin”, they are mostly taught that sexuality is not anything innate or natural but entirely a matter of behavioral choices (similar to how shame about masturbation frames sexuality and sexual desire as wrong and a matter of self control and making “good choices”).
So, in that context something like “I don’t agree with homosexuality” really just means they see homosexual “acts” as wrong, and so they don’t endorse people who indulge in those behaviors; they aren’t really thinking about sexuality in the same way.
Hot take: I really don’t care if it’s a choice or biology, I’m fine with it either way.
it really does matter, though - the fact that it’s not a choice is an important fact in arguments supporting legislation banning conversion therapy, for example - if it were a choice, conversion therapy would at least be plausible for people who didn’t want to be gay, for example. If it weren’t a choice, legislation banning conversion therapy would have less justification as it would be a valid choice for some people to not be gay and to use therapy to change. Conversion therapy doesn’t work because it’s not a choice, and that makes it a dangerous and pseudo-scientific practice, which justifies banning it.
“If not for christian missionaries you would still be worshiping sun!” “Sun is real, bro…”
I’d rather worship something real and responsible for life as we know it than a fictional petty tyrant who used his underdog creds to justify being the oppressor.

I know, I just wanted to say it in my own way
Make mountains gay again.
(I’m loving this post/comment section too much)
Actually, homosexuality is a social construct and is not objective. In Ancient Greece and Rome, there was no homosexuality. Men having sex with men was considered quite normal, personal preference or attraction didn’t come into it. But for a man to take it in the butt from his social inferior was taboo in the same way homosexuality has been in much of the modern age. It was considered a deviant and unusual preference, much like being gay.
The “I don’t agree with” people are also the believers that homosexuality is a choice. (It’s not…every sane person knows that it’s not.)
So when they’re saying “I dont agree with” what they mean is “I don’t agree with the choice a person makes to be gay”
I hear you but like – fuck mountains.
No kink shaming here, as long as the mountain consents
I don’t agree with the sun. That bitch can fuck right off.
Friggin’ hot tho 🥵 🥵 🥵
Serious answer: when american-style christian conservatives use the word “homosexuality” they’re talking about gay sex. This is also why they think homosexuality is a choice.
But they still wank over girl on girl action. Cos if it’s being done to titillate a man they’ll allow it
Maybe, or maybe there’s just a bit of a gulf between the public-facing proper morality and what happens in private in these kinds of communities.
They mean, “I don’t agree with gay people doing gay stuff”.
Why? It’s either: “Because the God I worship said being gay is bad”. Or “I don’t, know, it’s just wrong and if you try to make me think further by asking more questions, I’m going to make up reasons to justify my conclusion instead of having a good faith conversation.”
It’s sad that logical reasoning and argument formation isn’t taught in schools much. This is why we see people endlessly land in bad faith conversations riddled with logical fallacies. It sucks so hard :(
