How We Got Here

These days there is a multitude of discussions regarding gay rights,religious freedoms, etc. While I am a tolerant person, I am feeling a bit bullied these days by people who spend time twisting facts to suit their arguments. I have a few topics I would like to have a civil discussion about. Today's topic is Gay Rights. There are always more than one side to a situation. In this case, let me play "Devil's Advocate" just to get people to understand where others may be coming from. Biologically species are designed to have males and females able to procreate. That, believe it or not, is the whole reason sex is necessary. Gay people have the desire to have sex with the same sex. That is not hw we were designed and could be considered unnatural. When we were created, God made man and then woman to blend together and populate the Earth. This is why the religious people have a right to condemn homosexuals. So, as a society, we want to be tolerant of all people. It has taken years, but now gay people are far more accepted than before. Where will this acceptance end? If the argument is "we were born this way" then that also applies to pedophiles, right? There are countless fetishes out there, many offensive to most people. I mean how far will we decline before pedophelia is accepted because it is a person's right to have sex with whoever they choose? Has it ever occured to people that just because you have certain urges you do not have to act on them? Seriously, maybe you are attracted to young boys, girls. Maybe you are attracted to the same sex. Do you have to act on these urges? I personally have never understood how people in Africa can be starving to death but still have babies. They are dying but still have to have sex. If I am not well, sex is the last thing I want! Apparently the right to sex has outranked all other rights and people's sense of right and wrong. As an evolved society it is sad we have devolved to giving in to our baser instincts and lost all sense of self control.
