Has anyone considered how a homosexual would feel, stumbling across this thread discussing whether or not he is a perverted?

No. Why are you asking if they are perverts or not?
To say that homosexuals are perverts would be a homophobic remark as it would
imply that they actively seek perverted behavior. That's not what I'm asking.

I like to think we are dealing in truths here. I'm sorry if it upsets some people.
How would a homosexual feel? Angry, hurt, wronged maybe?
Yet why would he/she feel that way if the word perversion was built to house homosexuality?
I guess the thread is more about peoples own inner conflict and use of language when
dealing with taboo subjects.

Amazing. I could hold it in neon letters in front of your face and you'd still
misread it. That's precisely the kind of indoctrination we're talking about.

And by the way, changing your post after somebody has responded to it is bad form.

2. turned from what is right; wicked; misguided; distorted.
3. affected with or caused by perversion.
