A Nigerien Doctor presents a respectable(?) view on homosexuality - Page 4 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Yeah. A real giant leap here...

This guy appears to support the law just passed that puts gays/lesbians in jail for up to 14 years. But hey, at least he's not explicitly telling us to beat gays and just sort of implies it.

Sexuality is ONLY determined at puberty. Suggesting homosexuality at birth is erroneous and misleading. Puberty is associated with the release of the sex hormones on which we depend for our sexuality determination.

grunch and this is obviously false.

This is Nigeria my friend, the fact we have a Nigerien doctor presenting this viewpoint is a step forward.

I mean is he just covering his bases because he isn't sure and so he figured at least this way he gets it right at least once?

You need to find a better source, as it's not even consistent in its own example sentence.

Nigerian: those from Nigeria
Nigerien: those from Niger

Being a bigot or not is the choice in matter, and watering down bigotry isn't progress.

Real world experience differs from scripture somewhat.

From the wiki:

Today in most of the Islamic world homosexuality is not socially or legally accepted. In nine Muslim countries, Afghanistan, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, the UAE, and Yemen, homosexual activity carries the death penalty.

Religion of peace tho

Nigerien: A person from Niger or of Nigerien descent.

Etymology
From French nigérien, from Niger + -ien.

You'll also notice that if you type 'nigerien' into Oxford or Merriam Webster dictionaries you'll get redirected to Niger, while typing 'nigerian' gets you redirected to Nigeria.

EDIT: Btw, this has nothing to do with anyone being a grammar nazi. It has to do with you using the right ****ing word.

how stupid can you be when it comes to this topic, its the human error, not the religion when it comes to those 9 countries.

"the UAE" Such utter stupidity, when was the last time a gay was actually executed in the UAE? Also you have derailed this subject so horrendously, probably due to your laughable views of Islam

Obviously I'm talking to this forum. However I think you missed the point by taking the post a bit personally.

Bigotry is a choice. Denigrating and hurting people for their personal relationships is a choice. Rather than talk about homosexuals like they are some object to behold, and further intrude on their lives, let's talk about the intruders and the behaviors of bigotry. It's called getting to the root of the problem.

What if you were to find out that your responders ITT magically new exactly how you felt and what your thought processes where when making these posts...would you still post on this subject?

I remember liking girls as far back as the 1st grade. I distinctly remember a girl named Rachel who wore pig tails most every day that I wished I could be with in the back of my grandmother's van, and we would kiss. Not tongue kissing because I didn't know people even did that at the time, but lip on lip.

This was obviously far before pubes.
