Homosexuality, to me is kind of a different strokes thing. Now as a guy, that finds women attractive, I can completely relate to and understand how women can find other women attractive. Since I sure do. I notice though that most of the talk about homosexuality in these discussions is directed at the male flavor, with little notice given to lesbianism. Further, it seems to me that most of the negative comments about homosexuality are also coming from men. (Statistically skewed no doubt by the demographics of posters at SI, but, even if normalized, not necessarily invalidating of my observation.)
So if I find women attractive and other women find women attractive, hey maybe even the same woman, then how is it that I as a man can condemn a woman for wanting/desiring, maybe even acting upon, that attraction. If it is a satisfactory relationship for them, who am I to to say it is wrong, in and of itself?
Flip the roles now and I wonder how women came blame, or otherwise not relate to the fact that men may find other men attractive? Especially, if they themselves find men attractive, and they have acted on that.
So if you would deny the right to another to be attracted to, and act upon, something you permit yourself, then I wonder how you can think you are judging others consistently with your own rules of behavior.
As a postscript, I would say that the spreading of Aids is a silly rationale for condemning male homosexual behavior. If that is the case, then we must condemn heterosexual behavior, because, after all, we could catch syphilis or herpes. |
