Homosexuality is not moral. Nor is it immoral. It has absolutely nothing to do with morality, and it's foolish to pretend that it is in an effort to disguise bigotry.

"As soon as you start trying to make a link between homosexuality and morality, you've already lost the debate." This quote was needed more than ever! ❤
@NR-rv8rz
@NR-rv8rz 8 месяцев назад
It's a weak argument. Weak because morality is not actually about legalism so the logic of legality does not suffice. It's about mechanics. Something is either mechanically viable or it is not. If it is then it is moral. If it is not then it is immoral. Humans assess what works for them as individuals, families societies, nations and the world then codify that wisdom into laws, rules and morals. But something is not moral because of a code, but rather what precipitated that code. The foundational question is not if homosexuality is moral according to the group code, but if it is actually mechanically viable/beneficial, neutral or detrimental. If it is detrimental then it is immoral. But actually, even some immoral things can be absorbed by individuals and society. Not everything has to be condemned.

I appreciate your opinion and certainly agree. As gay man myself, my sexual orientation has been beyond my control.I didn't wake up one day and decide that this I was going to be gay. I don't understand why I'm gay but I do know that I did not consciensely to make the decision. Let's just agree to say that most people are heterosexual but some are gay through no actual fault of their own. I have never felt immoral because I'm gay. My sexual orientation has never effected anybody else in a negative way.

Nothing we do can be for certainity claimed to be absolutely consious, I'd even argue that for most people most of what they do in life is not completely consious, and it can be simply proved by asking any person questions about any of his deeds (and the related circumstances around it) which are claimed to be conscious by said person, like "why did you put it exactly here and not there? are you even sure you put it here and not there?" and the more specifics you dig out of this deed the more likely you will make the person just admit that he wasn't entirely aware of everything he did while doing the deed that is under question.. The definitive division of the mind and its activity into strict 2 categories of unconscious versus conscious is unscientific and there isn't any evidence to back it up, as far as the science of the mind goes - our mind is super complex and consist of many levels and divisions, some can be claimed to be more conscious and some are less, but the idea of an absolutely consious mind is more in the realm of Buddhism (and even there only few people in this entire franchise claimed to reach such level), and so is the idea of an absolutely UNconscious decision, even things you do in sleep are not completely unconscious, for example when you realise that you are dreaming it can be said that whatever you do in the sleep or in the dream (and sometime you can make real moves OUT of a sleeping state, especially if you're lunatic) is more conscious than sleeping while NOT realizing that this is a dream, but can it be said that it is AS CONSIOUS as something you do when you're not in sleep, that you should take the same responsiblity as if you did it awake? I doubt anyone would want to claim that, and then there is also the question which state of sleep? As sleep itself is divided into several phases, more or less consious, and moreover even the awaken state of a person is divided into various phases throughout the day, in which we are also more or less awake/consious. There is even a thing called day dreaming, how you should deal with that? "Honey I just undressed that woman in my mind, but that was day dreaming don't worry, I am not morally responsible for that more than I am during night dreaming"... Yeah sure, good luck having such "morally responsible" relationship with your wife, I am sure it will create a wonderful and "well being" of a relationship! Bottom line - when you claim your subjective mind to fall under ABSOLUTE categories such as consious/unconscious, when it clearly SHOULDN'T, while on the other hand taking morality in a relativistic way and saying that there isn't anything absolute about it - this is the definition of being an immoral moron. Now when it comes to homosexually or any sexuality - you can't claim that it is completely unrelated to our consious decisions!! On basis of what?? There are numerous studies that people are capable of consiously influence their sexuality! Following such logic any pedophile can say - "sorry that's not up to me, this is the sexuality of my body that I have no control over whatsoever!" Do you really want to follow that route?? Or same with incest - "Yeah I'm gonna jerk off at my sister what's the problem with that? it's my sexuality, I didn't decide that, that's at least what my father teached me..." good luck raising your kids with such understanding of sexuality. Just don't be surprised if one day you caught them having sex with each other. Also you are a moron if you think only about your own "well being". The most "well" state of a productive and prosperous society is when each person realizing his personal duty to multiply and make kids so that the society grows. Sexuality can be consiously influenced, at least according to my own experience, I am heterosexual and never ever experienced attraction to same sex even for a slight, but one time I decided to experiment with it and see if I can squeeze out of myself some arousal towards a guy, and to my surprise I could! It was very hard though, but on the next experiment I noticed it went a little easier, so I dropped the experiment out of fear of perverting and ruining my sexuality.

@@supayambaek The whole thing? no. only what comes after quoting an "immoral moron". If you fall under this category or not depends on what you would answer to your partner if let's say you day-dream about another person in a sexual way and she/he notices and asks you "what are you thinking about?". You basically have 3 options - you can lie to her/him - this would be immoral, especially when it comes to personal relationships with your significant other. (An argument can be made for morality of a lie when it comes to "lying to nazis about some jews that you hide in your closet " or something of this sort, but that's obviously not the case here). Or you can admit, but either you admit while being sorry (acknowledging that it is wrong on your side), or you can admit but justify it with the mind set from this video which brings arguments like "babe, this is day dreaming just some thoughts that pop up from my subconsciousness over which I have no responsibility (according to this video), for example I also was dreaming about f**king my ex last night when you was sleeping by my side, even came in my pants from that as you may have noticed, but don't worry babe it's all subconscious sexuality which I have no control over..", now commenting this without sarcasm - such a position of an immoral moron would lead to a failed relationship, and you SHOULD feel guilty about that. OR you may find another immoral moron like you who would be ok with f**king anyone around and won't demand any sexual dedication (what you'd call "open relationship") - but this is a case of 2 completely immoral morons who may some day even by a "mistake" get an innocent child involved inbetween such a f**ed up relationship, and in no way that "mistake" (a torn up condom) would justify what the child would have to experience growing up in a house of undedicated parents, or in orphan house, or experience getting cut into pieces (in case these morons would go for abortion). I may remind you that this video arguing a "well being for yourself or another one", a baby in a womb of a woman is another one, but what even the point of trying to argue that to a bunch of nihilists who have no distinct point that makes "me" as a subject another one in relation to him/her, as we are all bunch of meat with neural structures that came out of the same monkey pussy, with no absolute defining point between that monkey and our current form..

That’s a question that stems from a misunderstanding of Christianity’s position on homosexuality.

A homosexual desire is not a choice, but a homosexual act is a choice.

@@bobthellama6988 good point. I've been thinking about how religion and choice mix together, essentially I don't think you can really CHOOSE what religion you believe in. Sure you can try to pursue evidence for a certain religion in an attempt to believe, but you can't fake true belief. I can't just today decide to be actively a Christian again because I don't believe, and no matter how hard I try, I can't change that. I wonder if being homophobic is like being religious in that sense. I don't know why anyone would choose to actively try to be homophobic, but I wonder if you really can. You can try to keep an open mind and research, but if at the end of the day all the evidence you find leads you to the conclusion that homophobia is justified, then I don't think you can just choose on a dime to stop being homophobic. If that makes any sense. You can be convinced you're wrong, but that's not much of a choice. Honestly that probably made 0 sense, but I'm gonna go with it.

The problem is that those condemn homosexuality have a completely different opinion regarding the two criteria of morality as applied to this question. They believe (or have been told to believe) that homosexuality is a "lifestyle choice". And they believe that the presence of this phenomenon has a negative effect on society, perhaps similarly to extra-marital sex in general or gambling or drug use. It seems clear to me that while they have used scriptural references to assert this, it is really just a desire to maintain conformity in the society. (Mind you I'm not saying conformity is always bad, but, as Alex points out, if a person has no choice over the characteristic or behavior in question, it is wrong to condemn them for it.)

Interestingly, this is the logical basis of the saying "hate the sin not the sinner" that many Christians use to discuss the topic. Truly it doesn't really matter if someone is gay or if they have homosexual tendencies or whatnot, because as Alex said, homosexuality is not a moral question. What *is* subject to morality is a conscious decision that affects well-being, in this case being the acting upon homosexual tendencies (aka the sin, from the Christian perspective.) It is believed that sin causes harm (negative effect) to the well-being of the soul and sin itself is only considered sin when it arises from a conscious decision, thus "hate the sin not the sinner" falls in line with this video.

Late, but this entire "hate the sin not the sinner" rationalisation is just ridiculous. It simultaneously attempts to believe that a homosexual individual is valid while flat-out denying them seeking love or intimacy from same-sex partners. Following this roundabout belief, gay people are meant to just live their lives without ever romantically loving someone or else they'll be damned. Whether they choose to 'sin' or not they're forced to live a painful, lonely existence.

From ostracizing to public punishment, jail, and even influencing the law, Christians and their religious orgainzations leave no stone unturned. It is pointless talking about "true christians" since most of them aren't. They believe in the religion but don't practice it. Pray but don't act and this isn't limited to just homosexuality. Alot of Christians will keep forcing their ideals to convince u to become straight. Most Christians will "think" religiously rather than logically and I have interviewed them myself. However I will acknowledge that GenZ Christians more accepting. The fact that religions have the power to control the law is definitely weird and scary.

My grandmother is naturally left-handed and in school she was always forced to write with her right hand. They even hit her hand with a wooden stick if she dared to use the left hand! The reasoning behind this was exactly what you said: using your left hand for things like writing is a sign that the devil or some demon is trying to get hold of you. So those teachers probably really believed that they were saving her from the devil's influence by forcing her to write with her right hand. I'm left-handed too and when I broke my left arm, I had to write with my right hand for a few weeks and it was horrible. It just felt so unnatural! I know this is just some more anecdotal evidence, but to me personally, it's real evidence, because I know my own grandmother would never lie about something like this. She's turning 90 next year, so this happened between 1935 and 1945, in South Africa.

Most likely not because you are straight so you are only attracted to women.

People who believe it is immoral DO believe it is a choice. The best response to them is "why would anyone choose that?". If being homosexual leads to lower (institutional) social status, an inability to procreate and causes stress on a daily basis... why would you *choose* this? The answer is you wouldn't. Simply as you didn't *choose* to be born to a poor family or be born with 10 fingers and 10 toes. Sexual orientation is not black/white, but rather a scale/gradient and we all find ourselves along this scale. For all intents and purposes, it was a blind throw of a dart and we live with where it lands...for better or worse.

Ari Onassis-Sugen, you're oversimplifying the complexity of existence. None of the things you've listed as even partially equivalent and it is debatable "why" a person would do any of them. If you take the time to analyze why a person would do each, then you can decide if they are doing so of sound mind or if by some kind of mental illness. I suspect though you haven't thought through any of this and are just passing through with a silly thought never to return. With that in mind I just want others to realize that life is not simple. You cannot give simple prescriptions for complex problems.

Manslaughter is conscious but not intentional. Kinda like smoking and cancer. You can consciously smoke, but not intend to get cancer. So for reckless driving, you are consciously driving recklessly, but you probably aren't intending to hurt anyone. Manslaughter charges are generally not pressed against people when a death wasn't their fault, or was an unforeseeable consequence. They are charged when their actions were clearly dangerous, but were not intended to cause harm.

Three years ago I hated myself for the gender dysphoria I was experiencing on a daily basis. I was seriously suicidal. I had this belief that what I was feeling was morally wrong. This way of analyzing morality helped me so much. It only took a couple days to realize that what I was feeling was perfectly ok. Since then I have come out as transgender to most of the people in my life. I may still have limited options due to living in Alabama but I now have love and support and the assurance that I am valid. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

A person can also learn to only concentrate on the task (like genital care/cleaning) without noticing the fear inducing part their working on (it becomes a very strong unconscious trait so you dont always have to experience Dysphoria). The term "Gender" applies to the "sex" of your mind in contrast to "sex" that either is meaning as Biological sex (Thats including genetic sex, hormonal sex, physiological/anatomical sex and maybe more) or just the assigned sex/gender at birth.

We've just now elected the first openly gay governor here in Colorado which precipitated an interesting discussion with someone I know who is Russian regarding the "morality" of being openly gay. It seems that the Russian mentality of homosexuality is pretty much back in the 1950s if she is at all representative. After many rounds of trying to get her to explain why being gay was wrong, she ended up by arguing that being gay was OK but that being a gay governor was not. She was unable to tell me how a governor's sexuality would adversely effect their performance in office, and after going round and round in circles, she ended the discussion. My point here is that so much anti-gay prejudice is irrational at its core, so attempting to use logic to displace it aims at a target that doesn't really exist. Still, that's no reason not to try.

I really liked this video. I think it puts things so simply and logically that in order to disagree with the answer, someone would have to first recognize that their homophobia is fundamentally illogical. It doesn't mean that they can't be homophobic anymore, of course they can, just that it would shift the argument away from one of a 'logical' morality (which, I think logical morality is an oxymoron anyways). The only thing I don't necessarily agree with is the argument of what deems something moral or amoral. I think that while it works perfectly well in this context it's definitely still an oversimplification of morality, but I haven't seen the morality video you referenced, so maybe you cover this more there. I just think that the way we think of choices and unconscious vs conscious seems very solid when it really is anything but. I think the simplification ignores the subconscious, where someone can consciously make a decision, but it would be hard to morally judge them for it because of the environment they have been raised in. Obviously though, people could argue day and night and never find an answer to what drives people to be or act a certain way, so going too in-depth with it just becomes pointless eventually. Anyways just wanted to add that to the conversation of what defines morality. All in all a really great video that clearly and concisely points out the flaws in the argument of queerness being immoral.

This has managed to be one of the few videos made on this topic that has aged well. Well spoken and hopefully more people will be capable of thinking this rationally in the future

I think it is a good video, however it misses an important point. While your sexual desire is outside of conscious control, sexual activity is not. I'm not saying two men having sex is immoral, but it does fall within the moral sphere, as it is a conscious decision affecting well-being. Homosexuality as a sexual orientation is in the amoral sphere; homosexuality as an action is in the moral sphere. You can make a comparison to pedophilia. Attraction to minors is not a conscious decision. Acting on that attraction definitely is and deserves to be punished severely, as I'm sure we all agree. Same with homosexuality, except for the punishment part of course. All I'm saying is that the argument presented in the video is lacking, as the action itself is conscious.

@@timangar9771 it's conscious but doesn't negatively affect the individuals involved - so it isn't immoral in any way?

​@@hargeauxthat isn't what the person said. They said it's in the moral sphere as it's a conscious decision and affects wellbeing. Only in this case it's actually good for the wellbeing, which would make it moral I think.

I was about to write a comment about how it is demonstrably horrible to call someone immoral over a neurological disposition that they did not consciously elect to inherit, and that this video is profoundly bigoted on that premise alone, but then I actually got a clearer understanding about what you are trying to get at and I applaud you for it. Sexuality shouldn't be a question of morality. Instead, how you act out with your sexuality should be what you are morally accounted for, and, for instance, distinguishing between having a perfectly healthy relationship with another consenting adult as opposed to committing a detestable act of sexual deviancy should be the premise of morality in this conversation.

When the moral aspect is discussed, it's the action that is judged, not the condition itself. Just like a psychopath can harm somebody, then we are judging what he did, not the biological condition that caused his action.
