John Corvino responds to those who blame homosexuality for disease, misery, and despair, ultimately turning the tables on those who wield morality as a weapon.
My mom used that bully argument almost all of the time. "Keep crying and I'll really give you something to cry about!" This after whooping me with one of my dad's belts because she was disciplining my brother or sister and I just happened to be in the room. So, I finally argue back: "But I didn't do anything!" Mom's stupid logic? "This is for all of the times you get away with it and I'm not there to see it!" Later on in life, after a heck of a lot of therapy and testimony from my mom's brothers and sisters, the conclusion that my mom was mentally ill was a great one. Many years later, just a couple of years before she died, since four of her six kids ended up doing jail time...I asked if the corporal punishment and meanness worked. This was because I was majoring in human development and I wanted an honest answer. Mom finally admitted that she was wrong, which almost never happened. Still, my all too controlling dad apologized to me better than she did.
I think you're awesome! Not just because you're wonderfully eloquent, but because you've got a great sense of humour and I just love listening to you. Keep it up!
This was incredibly well constructed argument! Eventually voices of reason like yours will overcome the voices of irrationality and hate when it comes to arguments about being gay
The bit at the end of trying to put a condom on a football was amazing. You did better than I thought, and the condom held up pretty well all things considered.
I guess the problem is in cases of homosexuality heterosexual people simply forget that they too might bake cakes and gift roses to show love outside of the bedroom. Its all normal love.
I wish you were around back when I was a teenager. I could have definitely used your videos to educate not only myself but other people as well. Especially all the homophobes I had to deal with. Keep up the good work John Corvino and don't mind the few ignorant hate-mongers who attack you with bible quotes. "THE BIBLE SAYS" The bible says a lot of things, when some ignorant ass wants to condemn you to hell by quoting a bible verse, that person better be one heck of a so-called Christian because unless he/she is then they need to SHUT the f*#k up. I have learned that people that use the bible to JUDGE others and condemning them to hell are always the biggest, blindest and worst hypocrites on earth.
AMEN to THAT, man!! When someone seems to have to tell you constantly that they're "Christian", when they tell you all about being "Born-again", RUN, don't walk, in the other direction!! They're ALL HYPOCRITES, thieves, and liars, in my personal life experiences with these people.
Have a ponder on this one; I'm going to get a little more graphic here and ask when is a condom more likely to split, when it's being shoved up an anus or when it's being shoved up a vagina?
Um....hate to tell you, but....not all gay men practice anal sex. Far from it; I don't know about any other gay men out there, but I like and prefer oral sex, period. Just like many heterosexual people do. People like you are so....heterosexist; you can only think of sex in terms, more or less, of heterosexual sex....a pole and a slot to put it in, basically. I much prefer to use my mouth, thank you very much.
Why is heterosexuality never referenced as a " lifestyle " ? Oh, could it be because that term carogorizes people in order to make it easier to demonize and vilify them through subjective ( and, therefore, contextually unfair and invalid) comparison?😅
I don't think you two are at odds here. What kissfan7 is asserting is that despite the harmful effects of discrimination, support & mentoring can help. Both of you are underscoring John Corvino's argument that the rate of depression & suicide is not caused by homosexuality, but by the prejudice people face.
In fact, the best socially treated homosexuals (San Francisco) are the most infected by HIV. They know, that gay sex is risky, but they're careless anyway. LGBT have higher depression rates not only because they're bullied, but also because of lack of patterns for good life (which is not equal to happy life!), that heterosexuals have been adopting for centuries. PS. I'm gay too ;)
Gay sex is not risky as long as you use condoms. Of course all condoms receive pin hole punctures prior to shelving. So maybe we should use two condoms.
Im sure you can also expain away beastiality this guy mind is set to his own way.. our comments will not change him but our prayers will thanks for coming out now I know who to pray for
russ Well, since you brought up bestiality, maybe you can explain Jerald Hill? He's the straight, white Baptist leader who got busted trolling for dog sex on Craigslist. www.columbiatribune.com/news/crime/task-force-arrests-man-on-suspicion-of-trying-to-find/article_34bee8c9-0ffa-59dc-861f-e49ac8b64cd0.html

Such eloquent & methodical argument. Of course, the fact that you are a 100% correct helps too.
I think you're awesome! Not just because you're wonderfully eloquent, but because you've got a great sense of humour and I just love listening to you. Keep it up!

Is it any coincidence that his initials are "JC"?
Te amo, John Corvino.
I love the endings of all ur videos....spot on!
Sir, I wish you had more content on RUclips, do you have content elsewhere? Thank you.
People like you make me very happy. I could not have said it better myself.
Very well said. And the ending make me laugh out loud.

I love the finales
We heterosexuals do, in fact, have a greater percentage of AIDES throughout Africa than do homosexual people.
How
Remember the part about football being more dangerous then chess, and the moral thing to do is to minimize risks? It's riffing on that.
ok. makes sense. i got ya. thanks!
I love you.
true words
Reason in the midst of the new Dark Ages.
what was up with the ending? no really, what was that?!?
I am lucky and blessed I have experienced love intimacy and healthy sexuality with another man. Thank you. God.
when you were putting the condom on the football I was afraid it was going to snap you in the face >.
sound use of reason!

Proof?
Lisa Minnelli. ...LMFAO
Without getting too graphic, I'd like to point out.... Where do most diseases originate? Through feces contaminations.

If not can you make a video about why the Bible only mentions Hetro relationships and not just say “they shall marry”
To say gay sex isn't risky is dangerous.
to say heterosexual sex isn't risky is dangerous

How dare you blaspheme against Liza?!
0:14 - you forgot we were blamed for September 11th too by a Christian.
I dont care what you do as long as you dont hurt anyone we are free humans governments shouldent say who you should marry

Beastiality and homosexuality are two completely different topics. In fact, he talks about that in one of his videos.

Those who hate homosexuality have to do that in order to subconsciously justify their contempt and hatred. @Thief555WWJD
