"Give me an example, but you can't use the best example of you being correct that there is"... yeah, that's a creative bit of writing there...
I cannot understand this postion. Not at all. I mean... the thoughts in your head are irrelevant? Only actions matter? But for sexuality, thoughts are the MOST IMPORTANT THING! When you look at something and say "that is beautiful", it's going though your head and through your built-in human genes and biases and the ones you have added in your lifetime. A homosexual will look at someone of the same gender and think 'this is beautiful' in a sexual way. THAT is homosexuality. Whether or not they act on it really is irrelevant. They are homosexuals, even if they're hiding in heterosexual relationships (or don't even really realize it). Simple as that.
Their actions, and what they do as a result of those thoughts, is a completely different matter. That is what others see, and it is what gets them labelled as one thing or another, and it is important to their happiness -- but it has NOTHING to do with if they are truly homosexual or not.
Quote:How can you say there is no difference between practicing homosexuality and being homosexual? They're identical. If you're homosexual, you practice homosexuality, and if you practice homosexuality, you're homosexual. That's it.
