- Let's look at it from a different angle: Should it be illegal
- for people to eat vegetables, simply because you are a meat eater?
- Should employers be able to fire vegetarians for not eating meat?
- Should school children be taught that vegetarians are abnormal?

-
- That doesn't mean we can't try to minimize the amount of
- that persecution.
- Just out of curiosity, how have you been persecuted?

-
- So is hugging, kissing, petting, oral sex, anal sex, vaginal
- sex with a condom (or any other form of birth control), and celibacy.
- You also seem to forget that a person can be gay and not
- ever have sex.

-
- Parts of the body have multiple uses. For instance, the
- mouth is used for the ingestion of food, and also for breathing.
- Similary, the anus can be used for elimination of solid waste,
- and also for sexual gratification - it contains the prostrate
- gland which, when stimulated, can cause intense sexual pleasure.
- If anal sex isn't "natural", then why does it feel good?
-

-
- You haven't shown that it isn't natural. Would you like
- to try again?
