Homosexuals And Kleptomaniacs
Surfing the Net it's not rare to find some websites that liken homosexuality to kleptomania.
I know it may seem absurd to a resonable individual, however this time I'll pretend to take them seriously and answer logically.
I'm gonna quote here some sentences:
"The desire to use one's sexuality in an unnatural way is a disorder, just as kleptomania is a disorder.
Do we want to give kleptomaniacs special rights? After all, they're victimized by a disorder not of their own choosing."
Elsewhere it was written:
"Compulsive shoplifters come to mind. These people are thieves. They have a tendency to steal - possibly genetic. But if they resist the temptation to steal (which is stronger than usual in their case), then they have not sinned in that instance. But if they do steal, then the fact that they have a predisposition toward stealing does not change the fact that stealing is still a sin.
In the case of homosexuals, it has been argued that they have a genetic predisposition toward their sexual orientation. There has even been research that seems to implicate a particular knot of neural fibers in their brains as the culprit. Because of the compulsiveness of many shoplifters, they probably have a similar knot in a different area of the brain. But again, the fact that some homosexuals may have a predestined preference does not change the fact that it is STILL a sin. Just like the thief has a choice, so do homosexuals."
Ok, so let's take these great orators by the hand 'cause I wanna play to "spot the differences".... maybe children are better players, you never can say *laughs*
Kleptomaniacs feel the urge to satisfy a need that is NOT common among ordinary people, homosexuals just feel the need to love and to be loved by someone they're attracted to.
I mean: ordinary people don't get stimulation, satisfaction and release during the act of stealing objects not needed for personal use or for their monetary value, but everyone DOES get stimulation, satisfaction and release during the act of loving someone appealing.
How would your existence be like if you were imposed by someone to give up your sentimental life? Life is mean without love. So homosexuals just obey a common and unavoidable stimulus unlike kleptomaniacs.
I searched the Web and learnt that many medical studies suggest that Prozac and Serotonin Specific Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) could be effective in the treatment of kleptomania just as it is in other obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. There are no confirmed medical treatments about homosexuality "healing", so gay people - in spite of what someone says - aren't given a choice to change their orientation.
Finally, World Health Organization (WHO) stated that 'homosexuality by itself is not a mental disorder' unlike kleptomania. So being gay doesn't imply a damage to the nervous system or brain nor ego distonic or double personality. *lol*
Do you think it's enough to infer this is not an acceptable comparison?
