A photo of two young women kissing in the new Urban Outfitters catalog has upset One Million Moms. Well, not exactly one million moms, but the outspoken group that is "fed up with the filth many segments of our society, especially the entertainment media, are throwing at our children."

The group issued the following warning, according to The Advocate: "On page two of this catalog is a picture of two women kissing in a face holding embrace!" They're also urging their members to cancel their catalogs and threaten to shop elsewhere. "The ad and catalog are clearly geared toward teenagers," the group says. "The content is offensive and inappropriate for a teen who is the company's target customer."

True, Urban Outfitters is targeted at teens, but so are shows like "Glee," which have done so much for gay rights. One Million Moms previously failed to get Ellen DeGeneres fired as spokeswoman for JCPenney (because she is a lesbian). Do you think the group is right about this ad being "inappropriate"? Or do you think it's totally fine?

Totally fine

Some girls like other girls, not a big deal. Time to get over it. I'm a teenage girl, and this is nothing I haven't seen or done myself. I have friends that are lesbians & bisexual. It happens.

Go lesbians!!

Edit: One of my best friends I have known since I was 4 years old is a lesbian and she & her girlfriend are perfect for each other.

They are equally repellent, and if you don't think homosexuals go after young boys, then you haven't been keeping up with the current events of the day.

Prez Obama's "Safe School czar Kevin Jennings praised Harry Hay for his work in the homosexual community. Kevin Jennings also participated in Fistgate, a high-school event in which homosexual teachers taught high-school children graphic information about how to have homosexual acts.

But more to the point, Harry Hay, a spokesman for homosexually praises NAMBLA and wrote glowingly of his own molestation by an adult male when he was a boy.

I know homosexuals cannot mate. I told you that fifty times. I said they are RELATED. You clearly aren't actually reading my comments.

And I do grasp the concept, and you make judgements really quickly and are incredibly rude.

macy to gracious43 2012/06/18 04:18:05

If some homosexuals go after young boys, they are not only homosexuals but pedophiles. Anyone who goes after a child is a pedophile. Anyone who only is attracted to people of the same sex is homosexual. Homosexuals can be pedophiles, just as heterosexuals can be. If a child is involved, it should be illegal. Considering that in most homosexual relationships, a child is not involved, there is no reason for homosexuality to be illegal.

Actually, I've proved it with logic about twenty times. You haven't been reading my comments (or else you haven't been understanding them).

reply
macy to gracious43 2012/06/18 04:21:41

And you are also saying, "you can't prove it isn't a choice, so it's a choice." That isn't logical. If I can't prove something, that doesn't mean I have disproven it and since you are unable to prove that homosexuality is a choice then neither are proven.

reply
macy to gracious43 2012/06/18 04:23:50

Yes, sexual CHOICES can be controlled. However, if being gay is a sexual "choice", then why is it that only an estimated 10% of the population has ever been attracted to the same gender?

reply
gracious43 to macy 2012/06/18 04:49:34

Well then you haven't demonstrated that homosexuality is caused by hormones.

gracious43 to macy 2012/06/18 04:51:41

Homosexist cultures treat women like dirt. It is an historical reality.

No, you haven't proven it with logic.

I have. Read my comments. For real this time.

gracious43 to macy 2012/06/18 04:55:18

Okay, so you are willing to acknowledge that sexual choices can be controlled. And I thank you for that. If you want more documentation, I will be glad to provide it. However it is not true that only 10% of a culture becomes homosexual. The more deviant a society is, the more homosexual it becomes.

In ancient Greece, 100% of all males were made homosexual during their teen-age years.

gracious43 to macy 2012/06/18 05:24:12

I've read everyone of them, my friend. Let me summarize your argument for you and you tell me whether I understand it.

Hormones control mating. Since sexual attraction is sometimes a factor in mating, then hormones must control sexual attraction.

Now let's compare it to this analogy.

Street lights control traffic. Since road-repair blocks are sometimes a factor in traffic, then street lights must control road-repair blocks.

reply
macy to gracious43 2012/06/19 23:32:51

That was in ancient cultures where even their religion promoted misogyny.

reply
macy to gracious43 2012/06/19 23:34:12

No, they weren't. Being homosexual and having a sexual interaction with someone of the same gender are not the same thing. Boys in ancient greece had nothing else to have sex with. They weren't actually attracted. Homosexuality is attraction.

reply
macy to gracious43 2012/06/19 23:36:11

Your analogy is too broad. You are talking about two different types of traffic: which cars go first and where cars are blocked. Therefore, your analogy cannot be used.

reply
macy to gracious43 2012/06/19 23:37:23

Also, there are hermaphrodites. There are men who have Klinefelter's syndrome. If men can have the anatomy of a woman, they can have the sexual preference of a woman.

reply
gracious43 to macy 2012/06/20 05:00:09

Well now that is pretty astute of you to note that. As a matter of fact they also promoted homosexuality, and they appear to go hand in hand with each other. It has only been the Judeo/Christian religions that reject homosexuality, and they also are religions that demand compassion towards women.

reply
gracious43 to macy 2012/06/20 05:21:59 (edited)

When a male has an erection, it is a little bit silly to state that they aren't sexually attracted.

reply
gracious43 to macy 2012/06/20 05:28:53

Well your linking of hormones and homosexuality is just as broad. Mating and sexual attraction are no more in common with each other than street-lights and traffic blocks.

reply
gracious43 to macy 2012/06/20 06:12:00 (edited)

Klinefelter syndrome individuals are male. This is a scanned page from my clinical cytotology textbook about Klinefelters. Notice that it is not linked to homosexuality (6th line from the bottom.)

True. But if a feminine trait was focused on one area, that would probably make the other areas of the mind and body more masculine.

reply
macy to gracious43 2012/08/08 06:50:30

Well what about masturbation? They're not thinking about their hands sexually. Just because they're with a man doesn't mean they're not thinking about a woman.

reply
macy to gracious43 2012/08/08 06:52:12

Mating in the animal kingdom is an instinct. Sexual attraction is based of off instincts that are intended towards mating. I'd say that's extremely similar.

reply
gracious43 to macy 2012/08/08 15:11:25

I've lost track of what we were discussing. Are you discussing Klinefelters? These individuals are heterosexual.

reply
gracious43 to macy 2012/08/08 15:31:18

I'm sorry, I have really lost track of this argument.

I assume you are suggesting that even if a woman is having sex with a man, she could still be fantasizing about a woman, making her still homosexual. However what we have not established, is that her thoughts are produced by biological processes.

A person could use their hand for sexual release and be thinking about children or animals, or feet or physically harming another person. That doesn't mean that these fantasies are originated from biological processes either.

reply
gracious43 to macy 2012/08/08 15:40:52

Animals mount for a whole lot of reasons that are dissimilar to human sexuality. Pets can mount people because they smell a female on the person they are trying to mount. They can mount because they are attempting to show dominance.

And we have no reason at all to believe that animals screen sexual behavior in the same way that humans do
Animals don't fall in love, they don't adopt a religious view, they don't regulate their sexual practices based on higher thinking.

You do fine. To be honest, I don't think most people care one way or the other anyway. They chose to believe or disbelieve based on bias, not facts. You are the few ones I know who has looked what I have stated up, to see if I was correct.

Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

The Nazi party was founded by many homosexuals who were later purged. Look up Ernst Rohm - a notorious homosexual as were his top cohorts..

Throughout the period of Hitler's rise to power, Ernst Röhm represented the militant wing of the Nazi Party as the chief organizer of the party militia known as the S.A. (Sturmabteilung) or the Brownshirts.
