Thank you all for your replies, criticisms, and mirrors. I have learned a lot about myself, and the blindspots in my own thinking through reading through many of these comments. I realize that I did end up coming to some pretty pejorative interpretations of some of the content in the article, and after reflecting I do agree with far more points in it than I did initially. I'm not sure if I still see myself or you all eye-to-eye though, so I've decided to follow up with this post.
Thank you for explaining your point of view and examining other's point of view.
In light of that, being told that (1) gays exert a negative PK influence, or otherwise are different in other ways that are really not straightforward to understand by the secular world, and (2) are not capable of achieving that supreme sublimity of the platonic androgyne being that straight couples can and are expected to (in a virtuous society) really raises a LOT of emotional triggers. I suppose it is black and white thinking though, to say that we either perfectly equal in all respects to straights, or we are marginalized as inferior “others” that desecrate nature by our very existence (according to psychopathic religions.)
I think that most heterosexual couple don't reach the 'supreme sublimity'. The differences in PK influence can be due to several factors. For example, an individual incarnated many times as a woman, his soul is loaded with female experience and traits but during the present incarnation, for some reasons (say a specific gender-related lesson to be learned), the soul incarnated in a male body. You have a soul that feels woman and is attracted to men while the genetic body is male. That might explain those numerous reports of homosexuals saying they feel like a woman in a male body (and vice versa).
The soul pulls in one direction and the genetic body pulls in the other direction, this internal conflict might explain the reduced PK influence.
[quote author=Pierre] I hope you can see the support is not only superficial.
I believe you have shown me this. Thank you for the personal, sensitive, and considerate response. :)[/quote]

Ultimately, whether homosexual or heterosexual we all have the same fears (death, suffering, betrayal, abandonment...) and the same hopes (love, intimacy, trust,...). What if any of us wakes up tomorrow in a woman body or a man body? What if we discover that our 'polar opposite' has the same gender as ours?
I don't think the gay pride will make gay more personable and cognitively accessible. I think it is an ostensible display in public place that the rest of the population didn't ask for. If we want to keep on reconciling gays and heteros it has to be done on mutually agreed terms. In the same way I would not agree with an heterosexual couple displaying ostentatious sexual behaviors in a public place. Sex is a private matters, whether it's homosexual sex or heterosexual sex.
I agree that hypersexualization in society in general is a HUGE problem. In the pride parades I’ve gone to (a couple many years ago) there are some ostentatious displays, which I agree don’t depict anything positive. But I also think it’s unfair for some people to see a few of those displays and then generalize those people as being representative of gays. There are numerous other floats in such parades for political parties (both mainstream and fringe), as well as activists for legalizing marijuana or 9/11 truth disclosure. It’s a highly mixed bag of countercultural interests, which of course creates space in which pathological advocates can infiltrate. In such states people often walk away agreeing with some of them and disagreeing with others, like any other forum.
On the other hand, I can appreciate that people who don’t know many gays personally, or only see them on the television, can get a lot of incorrect ideas (though that probably has more to do with the television portion than the gay portion.) For what it’s worth, I do know that more and more people are calling for the pride parades and events to become more family-friendly. I think this position will only become more popular as the fallout of hypersexualization becomes more and more apparent from a personal and interpersonal psychological perspective. As you have said, it falls to those empathic gays to take ownership of the movement and divest it from the pathological interests. I will try my best to do my part in this.
I agree. I suppose, maybe wrongly, that many homosexuals don't see the gay pride as a true reflection of who they are. Like you I hope the gay pride will become an open event where homosexuals, heterosexuals, families all celebrate together not their difference but what unites them: dreams, hopes, joy and pain. I also hope that the focus will shift from hypersexual displays towards more loving and caring.
The homosexual VS heterosexual (like the men VS women, black VS white, Muslims Vs Christians) duality is manufactured by the elites to divide and conquer, and to divert us from one fundamental duality: the psychopathic leader CS the non-psychopathic masses (although psychopathy and elite ranking are not perfectly correlated).
I would be very interested to know the percentage of gay people who truly want marriage and children compared to straight people. Because of the studies done about the duration of gay couples and testimony of gays acknowledging the need for having and mother and a father I am under the impression that as a general rule gays want equality above all and not marriage/adoption rights.
I don’t think whether or not people wish to take advantage of a right or freedom has much bearing on whether that right or freedom should be accorded to them. A lot of people don’t enjoy smoking, but that doesn’t mean they should step on the rights of those who do. As for whether children categorically require archetypal father or mother figures, I haven’t done the research to say either way. If it turns out they do, then I think those who wish to help raise children should consider their requirements first and foremost. Again, I think this pushes the emotional button of my thinking there shouldn’t be any perceivable difference between gay and straight couples when it comes to raising children (except maybe things like breastfeeding, etc.) I suppose back in the good old days (the real good old days), members of a tribe who wanted to help with child-rearing could fully do so alongside many other members of the community, so this conundrum may very well be a consequence of our increasing social isolation from one another (a “first world problem.”)
Very true. Whether raised by homosexual couple or heterosexual couple, the child still miss the extended family environment. The love of the grandparents, numerous cousins and siblings of same age, etc. And I'm sure that many same-sex couples provide a much better growing environment than heterosexual couples. As I said in the article many heterosexual couples are dysfunctional!
Here the devil is in the details, there is a fine (but essential) line between accepting / integrating and promoting / encouraging or even enforcing... In the above mentioned article you can read: "On peut proposer à un garçon de jouer à la poupée", which translates into "we can propose to a boy to play with a doll". Again, we are dealing with the very fine line between respecting free will and priming/suggesting.
I agree with this. It is difficult because priming and suggestion can work both ways: against the straight or gay, and against the cis or trans. On one hand you don’t want to erase the existence of gay/trans people from the minds of children in education because (1) it will make the straight/cis less accepting of actual instances of gay/trans in their current and later peers and (2) it will hurt the gay/trans people by inducing a sense of cognitive dissonance and narcissistic wounding. On the other hand you can’t promote gay/trans ways of being to be the majority dominant, since it will create all the problems gay/trans people face in opposite problem, only in straight/cis people (which there are more of). It is a complex situation, and I don’t think gender theorists (as gender theory was promulgated in the early 20th century) are equipped to deal with this problem. But, I will say that depicting one instance of boy-meets-boy or girl-meets-girl (as fish or otherwise) in a curricula in which hundreds of boy-meets-girl stories have been presented will not cause confusion or cognitive dissonance on the part of the straight children. That is my opinion.
I agree. Here the key point is balance. The goal should be acceptance without falling into promotion/priming/suggestion especially at such an early age when kids are so 'imprintable'. That's a very fine line. Problem is, while you or me want this acceptance to grow, the Gender theorist only use the acceptance as a pretext to indoctrinate our kids. They are preparing the pedophile generation, or so they wish.
I think that sex and gender are related, the same way there is some kind of frequency match between the genetic body and the emotional body. This being said why do the elites promote so heavily the blurring of gender? It's not necessary to attain full integration of the gay community, is it?
Not for gay people, no. Obviously from the perspective of the elite it’s more in their interests to confuse and wound cis children through overly emphasizing gender-asymmetric dress/behaviors. That some trans people will be less hurt or ostracized is only incidental to that point (thought I hope that can be achieved without harming the non-trans in the process. It’s really important to avoid zero-sum thinking.)
I think you have a point here. I was wrong. As shown in the example I previously mentioned, you can have a female soul in a male body (or vice versa). In this case sex and gender are opposite.
There were whites and non-whites and this is still the case today, isn't it? Do we have to remove the whites and the blacks, give rise to some king of universal 'greys' in order to go beyond racism? Again the devil is in the detail, dualities can lead to conflict but also complementarity. Of course if your remove the duality there's no more conflict but at the same time you removed all the potential complementarity.
I don’t think it’s really about removing, but rather adding. So instead of there just being whites and non-whites, you have northern europeans, mediterranean, middle eastern, saharan african, sub-saharan african, native north american, native south american, etc. It’s more about acknowledgement and respect for the diversity that’s there, rather than trying to shoehorn everyone into a binary notion that doesn’t always represent what people are (even if it does
most of the time). For what it’s worth.
I see what you say here. It leads to some interetsing question: Is the promotion of an the androgynous being, the emergence of a third gender more in sync with the existing diversity? Or is it a way of undermining the male-female potential complementarity by making man more effeminate while masculinizing women?
My paranoid mind and the track records of our dear elites makes me think that the first is the pretext while the latter is the true objective.
Well I find fascinating that homosexuality that is heavily promoted nowadays leads to an inhibited 'cosmic-connection'. That's not a judgement about gays, it's a judgement about the ones who engineer our society.
Thank you for adding that distinction, and taking the time to reply to my concerns about this.
Thank you Whitecoast for sharing your thoughts. It's really, really appreciated.
If I've hurt anyone's feeling, it was really not my intent. I hope this forum thread will help dissipate the last doubts. This topic is such a can of worm that even if you are super careful it is almost impossible to avoid some heated debates. And that's perfectly understandable when we know how much anger, suffering, frustration, violence, injustice, misunderstanding is attached to the history of homosexuality.
