Much has been said above regarding the negative health effects, psycho-emotional traits and unhappiness quotient identified in homosexuals. Other aspects are often noted as well, and a reality check may be helpful. Is it the case that:
a homosexual person is more/most likely (as noted by Wyogal) to first ID themselves as "gay" or "LGBT+" or some other created euphemism rather that simply a "homosexual"?
homosexual lobbying/power entities demand over-reaching "rights" rarely denied them en masse in the first-place and base the demand on their sexual aberrancy - as compared with other cohorts ID'd by color, race, ethnicity, etc. whom historically have experienced discrimination and denial of rights. Do those extreme homosexual demands seem to be driven by a need to gain legitimacy, acceptance or less negative perception - rather than to gain a right(s) denied?
certain geographic centers seem to have a magnetic pull for homosexuals - not not due to concentration of persons with shared language, ethnicity, cultural heritage, etc. - but due mostly to concentration of homosexual activity? Is this it?
certain homosexuals in the workplace or hierarchical organizations seem to push their homosexual identification with supervisors/leaders much more than do persons who have unique cultural/ethnic minority standing? If so, why?
homosexual identity groups have been careful to include some other sexually deviant subsets of behavior that could broaden their base appeal but also have been careful NOT to include pedophiles, incest and bestiality practitioners, necrophiles, and other such deviants in their agendas. If so, why would this discrimination be the case?
CCCC,
Most of what you've said in this post can be said of any minority group. Minority groups coalescing is nothing new. Ever heard of "China Town" in SF or "Little Italy" in NYC? I like living around people who understand guns, shooting, and the ethos of the American West. That's why I don't live in SF or NYC.
Minorty groups demanding additional rights is not new either. Take what you said about LGBT, and substitute Black, Hispanic, women, at one point they all demanded their extra right. In this state 10% of business are "minority owned", but receive 50% of the state contracts.
In the end, these extra rights are all about politics and politicians paying off a highly vocal group.
As for why the later groups are not included in the LGBT movement, it's all about consent. Minors, farm animals, and dead bodies cannot give consent.
