Here, you're playing semantics. If sexual behavior's function is to produce children, then it necessarily follows that any sexual behavior that cannot produce children is not functional. But the word dysfunction doesn't mean not functional. It means "a medical abnormality in the functioning of an organ or other part or system of the body." That seems like a pretty accurate description of a homosexual.
Therefore using this word implies that there is something wrong with the person, not the behavior. Or the person and hence their behaviour.
So let's replace that word with what you should have said: Homosexual sex can never result in conception, ergo it is not functional.
Loses some of it's bite, doesn't it? | Not really. It still validates the fact that homosexual sex is dysfunctional because it can never serve the purpose of human sexuality - procreation.
I think you just played the semantics game and lost! Doggone it darn right you betcha bless your heart maverick |
