Stop labelling people as something which allows you to dismiss them. Especially when you have no clue about someones ideological slant from the content posted in the comment. Fair enough if I was blabbering about hitler or something, but disagreeing with homosexuality is not fascist.
fuck you calling me a fash

some answers

1 - yes, some would view this as a good thing, but no one is suggesting everyone becomes purely homosexual.
2 - yes, why not?
@ micky
No one's stopping you. Gay pride began as a reaction to oppression, though in recent years they generally celebrate all forms of sexuality. Seems a bit pointless organising a march to promote what is still very much the mainstream majority position, but I'm not gonna stop you.
@ fuck you calling me a fash
I dunno if you're fascist or not, but it's understandable that people would react negatively to attacks on pride events. Perhaps you were looking for genuine answers to your rather stupid questions, but I suspect your attempting to stir up shit.

I have nothing against anyone who is homosexual. nothing at all, people should be free to CHOOSE what and who you want to be. It is this belief which makes me angry when I see so many children amongst an event organized for promotion and normalization of a sexually extreme slant that a human can take. And - hypothetically - imagine if the entire male population started seeing women as repulsive and instantly started feeling sexually attracted to their same sex. - no one could sanely believe that every individual would turn gay. now... if that ever happened, wouldn't the entire race become extinct? Answer.
This point therefore laid foundations of my reason for being angered when such things are being promoted around highly suggestible young children. quite frankly I find it disgusting. Not at anyone for being who they are, but at the parents who allow their kids to be subject to such things.
I don't believe it to be the natural way of humans. Sorry if this offends you, but it is my belief. I understand the level of criticism and bullying which gets directed at those who are homosexual, so I therefore understand why you would dismiss me as someone who you see as inferior to yourself. But since that is not the case, discuss.
be willing to answer, instead of just feeling victimized and insulted
Do you have any idea how human sexuality works?

good point

But the argument is none the less invalid as surely immersing children in so much homosexuality will effect some of them to potentially copy what they're seeing?
I think advertising any type of sexuality to a child is wrong, they shouldn't be thinking about and be around such a show of sexualized behavior at such a young age. I really don't agree with it. I think children should be outside playing in nature, playing with friends, whatever they wish. Not being taken to events promoting a diversity of sexuality. In my eyes it amounts to a mild form of abuse.
sorry if i offended you, but come on
