Well, the first sentence is correct, I'll give 'im that. The rest is bullshit though.

Ah. I see my own mistake. I shouldn't have lived a short lifestyle. I should have kept my (lack of height) to myself, at least till I was eighteen. I should have chosen an asizeual mode of life, and if I couldn't conceal that I was short, evolution should have taken me out. Yeah, that's fair.

"promote asexualism as a viable and healthy alternative and teach all children to keep their sexuality to themselves until they are 18."
Yes because that has worked so well up to now.
I'll make a deal with you: I'll keep my sexuality to myself if you'll keep your religion to yourself.

So sayeth those who wish that Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Einstein had just kept their differences to themselves. Why? Because they are too effing stupid and/or crazy to understand the cause and effect universe inhabited by sane people.

"If I was different in some way, I'd do whatever it takes to keep that to myself so there won't be consequences from others."
- And what gives you the right to make such a decision for everyone else?
"If I were to advertise my difference and wear it on my sleeve, I'd be asking for whatever mistreatment I get."
- You've never quite grasped the concept of empathy, have you Fuchsia?

Because being different is worst thing that could possibly happen. Everyone should be exactly the same.

Oh, I get it, so every one who is gay-bashed, or beaten up for being a goth or supporting a different team, or being black or chinese or for liking different music is to blame, not the moron doing the beating. It all makes so much sense now.
If pricks like you didn't make such a massive deal about people who are gay, then maybe their lives would be a bit happier and they wouldn't end up contemplating suicide as a viable alternative to having their hopes and dreams trashed by bigots who can't see past their own hateful ignorance.
Presumably you want asexuality taught to all young people, not just the gay ones. Sure that'll work well.
Idiot.

I'm asexual. Being asexual is not the same thing as being *celibate* which what this person is trying to advocate.
And we still catch a lot of crap for being who we are from almost everyone, gay, straight or whatever. Not being interested in having sex is almost worse to some people, at least they can kind wrap their heads around different physical attractions. We get accused of being abused as children, selfish, sick, otherwise damaged or afraid of our sexuality.
This proposal is crap. I prefer one where the only kind of sexuality that's demonized is any kind where there's a victim rather than a partner.

It is sad that living a hetro lifestyle is more important to them than being alive. If you want to reduce suicide, promote asexualism as a viable and healthy alternative and teach all children to keep their sexuality to themselves until they are 18. First, you do not have to choose hetro behavior nor act on hetro impulses. If you cannot control your behavior and passions, then maybe evolution should take you out. And even if you choose this lifestyle, then you should keep it to yourself and never mention it. You cannot be attacked over something others don't know about you. If I was different in some way, I'd do whatever it takes to keep that to myself so there won't be consequences from others. If I were to advertise my difference and wear it on my sleeve, I'd be asking for whatever mistreatment I get.
Problem?

Right, because no one's ever been bullied just because their tormentor thought he or she was [insert "undesirable" trait here] without any proof. (Not that having that proof would make it remotely right, of course)
Essi: "Because being different is worst thing that could possibly happen. Everyone should be exactly the same."
That about sums up these reactionary types. Everyone's free to do what they want, as long as that is exactly what the reactionaries want. If you have any real diverging opinions or desires, you should either keep them to yourself and blend in, leave, or die.

I tried that, but it was ultimately impossible to hide an IQ of 145. ;-)

Good idea. Let's start by applying it to religion- can't have a holy war if nobody knows which side everyone else is on, right?

I was, at one time, a black gay teenager. (I'm an adult now) I went to school with other, gay, bi,questioning, and trans black teenagers. It was because of people like you that we had to stick together, against our peers, teachers, and even our families, so that none of us would succumb to that inner darkness. None of us did. We are all alive, although some more worse-for-wear than others. For you to say such- Ugh! I personally want to slam this person through a wall! My grandma was/is accepting of me, but I'm one of the lucky ones. Hate. that's what I feel right now. Hate. No, just apathy. I will not let this upset me... /rant

What's really being demanded here is that gays get back in the closet, and we all go back to the 50s, sexual repression, stifling conformity and hypocrisy. They know that we won't eradicate homosexuality or teen sex, they just want us to do it secretly and be fucking hypocrites about it.

How about no. I refuse to hide what I am -- entirely because people will see me, and then I can show the bigoted fuckers that a girl can be queer and not butch or femme, that some firebrands will burn their way to making people understand that I'm not letting /anyone/ be discriminated against or treated like horseshit for /any/ reason, excepting superbly violent criminals.
