Well first just cause you can doesn’t mean you should. But honestly yeah I’d be surprised if you can go around telling someone you think their deeply held beliefs are a mental illness or their being gay is unhealthy for society and have them be cool about it.
That really what you’re telling me?
I don't tend to talk about my beliefs or thoughts except with my closest friend to be honest, as we're both fluent in the absurdity and paradoxical nature of reality.. thus nothing really twists us in discussion. Most people are far too invested and caught up in the game of life to talk about things with an open mind, that's been my experience anyway.
People seem to have no problem going around and insulting the deeply held beliefs of Christians, Conservatives, or other faiths and thought systems these days, decrying similar labels as 'mental illness' and 'unhealthy'. Much fun has been made of this in comedy and modern culture, and I have no problem with that.. so why should sexuality be any different? Again, people are way too caught up in this topic area for a real frank open discussion, and too reliant on it generally for their identity, to relinquish control over it for a few minutes in order to facilitate discussion.
If people want to question sexuality that's fine, just so long as it fits one predefined cultural narrative in advance? We can have children in single digits questioning whether they are male or female, encouraging it even, and that's all right.. but it's not alright to question the psychology of sexuality and what's going on in the minds of these people? To have an opinion on what sexuality and the mind are, and how they relate? Given that no one has accurately defined either I think it's a tad hypocritical to deny the right to question, don't you think? Until the mind is accurately defined there is no monopoly on the truth, but only questions to be asked.
