Holy fuck this guy will be an amazing lawyer.
+usukatlifegodiekthx Imagine him on the Supreme Court someday… Wouldn't that simply rock?
+usukatlifegodiekthx I hope he does, What a intelligent guy.
+usukatlifegodiekthx And an ethical one too.
Did everyone ignore +Mark Elderson Comment?!?
+usukatlifegodiekthx LOL I was just thinking that !
Moral of the story is to never argue with a law student unless you want to feel stupid. :D
+HiddenInTheLight This guy was a cut above even then. Watch him be the first gay attorney general.
But they were both law students...
+HiddenInTheLight I disagree. The moral of the story is to never argue when you don't know what in the hell you are talking about. The "counselor" was parroting crap that he'd been and had not examined critically.
+HiddenInTheLight I think it's more: Don't assume you're smarter then someone else. Because some day you'll run into someone who will make you look like the fool you really are.
especially if your position is stupid

What facts were he spitting though
facts aren't the only thing he's spitting
@@rlm2933 I think they meant that law is a field of study that requires you to memorise and quickly bring up lots of facts. But in this video: the fact that there's no "gay genes", sexuality is more complicated than this, the historical facts about the Roman Empire, facts about Christianity, guy is not even Christian himself I think but he can name saints and place their existence on a timeline just like that.
@Eclypse goddamnit i thought you had a typo then i looked at the link
It isnt fear it is disgust
"No. The Roman Empire fell only after it became Christian". I love it.
This level of historical ignorance literally makes my head hurt.
@@HeavensMystery same
Technically the Roman Empire didnt fall they restructured themselves into the Holy Catholic Church... The Emperor became the Pope... they expanded the conquered land of the empire by sending priests..they tax their empire in the forms of tithes.
Instead of an army they keep people in subjection by threatening hell.
The Catholic Church is an example of the single greatest rebranding campaign in history!
The amalgamation of idiots that arrived since my comment literally makes my head hurt.

Fredrick Nietzsche and how can you prove that? homosexuals never did show anything like that, they are perfectly fine just the way they are and nobody should be worried about who there sleeping with at all.
+Mr. Green
If God created everything, he created gays too. Since God is both infallible and omniscient, he knew he was creating gay people when he created the universe, and he did not make any mistakes. So are you saying God is imperfect? Or that He didn't know he was creating gays? In that case, the deity you believe in is not God.
noel samoth I had this conversation with my Christian cousin and this is his rebuttle. "The only man who is perfect, and never commited a sin was Jesus Christ. We are all sinners who have free will and should want to change that if you believe in God. God doesn't hate gays (God doesn't hate anybody), But the bible does say sex should only be between a man and a women, so if you are gay, and believe in god, you should want to change for him." I don't know I just find that really fucked up.
"why are you gay?"
"Because I like men"
"Why do you like men?"
"Cause I am gay"
Lol.

You should know know about shit on dicks? You’re the life of the party!!!
Greg Kanvik. Be careful which men you like. Remember, if a gay man does not fancy you, you may as well not exist as far as he's concerned.
Attraction and likes and dislikes are not rational...
Can you knot? 'Attraction and likes and dislikes are not rational...' Sounds very deep if impenetrable. Try again.
@@hamrunizspar1 They aren't logical though. They're feelings, and feelings are the least rational aspect of human beings. The first rule of productive conversation is don't let feelings cloud your ability to think logically.
I am a straight woman. What actually makes these anti-gay therapists believe that I would like to be in a relationship with a man who first had to be tortured to want me?
Can you have an happy and joyful life, when you know your whole life that the affection your partner feels for you is only trained or conditioned?
What kind of crazy negative image do these therapists have about women?
idk how to tell you that these religions care very little about what you want
good point Mi Fri
agreed.
That is a very good point.
Great point. Thinking about it, the anti-gay agenda is fundamentally misogynistic.
Not as impressed with his smarts or debating skills (both terrific), as I am with his passionate, quiet intensity, and his capacity to see life as it is. When he said he and his father never talk about his sexuality or relationships, then adds simply, "That's a shame." I sense a lot of hurt in him, but also a strong sense of self, and an iron character. I think any dad should be proud to have a son like Scott.
On one hand, I can see why he'd be upset, on the other I wouldn't wanna talk to my kids about their relationships either. Regardless of their sexual orientation. (And I'm happy my parents don't ask me about it, personally.)
Edit: Add On.
@@moontobe1829 I agree it could be really awkward, but am thinking what Scott wanted/needed was just his dad’s acknowledgment. And maybe talk about the people he (the son) cares about. I don’t know, but the hurt that long pause and answer expressed seemed very real to me.
Absolutely.
@@moontobe1829 I think its more of the fact that the father is denying part of who he is. It doesn't have to be specific details, but just casual how is so and so, who are you seeing these days, are they nice, etc. These things growing up are standard parenting and he's been denied that because of his father disliking his sexual orientation.
Indeed. He's true to himself and I like that. Cool dude. 👍🏻
I think the fall of the Roman empire was less about homosexuality and more about their sixty-year civil war.
But I'm pretty sure the bloody history of Roman Catholicism was from Nero and Roman Candles, beyond the times Jesus had to retreat away from those that would do him harm of his own people - while under Roman conquer/occupation.
What did the Romans do during Greek Rule?
They adopted everything Greek and set out to be agency of wealth and power, sell it better than the Greeks, to almost inherently own both... (In case the "When in Rome" saying comes up) starting Bysantine only to end Bysantine
@Kata List Productions how so? the only candidate is Elagabalus, and he was a terrible emperor with or without a skirt.
and the corruption of their leaders, sort of like what is going on today.
@@amywalker7515 If you have any data that shows that homosexuality or transsexuality was behind the fall of the Roman Empire (not just that there were Emperors that were homosexuals or transsexuals, but that _this_ specifically caused the downfall of the Empire), feel free to share. Just remember that correlation does not prove causation.
Valdagast: i didn't say a single word about homosexuality. I said corruption
This kid was a law student and they really thought they could out argue him
As a law student I can confirm, I think most of us who do it really just like arguing and debating lol
@ned seldera You've got to be joking. Are you serious?
@ned seldera first off. Where exactly is the agenda behind homosexuality? Because I didnt know I was part of some sort of clan.. second off are you for or against homosexuality because your first message made it seem like your for then you go on to say that your second message may get deleted for being against it. And third, I'm just saying if you truly want people to listen, you need people to come up with a better reason than to say its morally wrong because of the religious prospect. Because the bible says so doesnt mean that its morally wrong, and I'd like for you to explain otherwise if you truly believe so. (The bible says the cross weaving of fabrics is wrong and personally I dont see where that is morally wrong either).
@ned seldera can I ask the question of whether your only against it because of religion or are there any moral reasons with actual backing which dont have any religious reasons behind them that you have against homosexuality?
@ned seldera and yes easily. It causes another pain and suffering. It harms those who love that person emotionally. It has absolutely no positives and outweigh the negatives of causing pain and ending ones life....
The fact this man can show mercy, to try to understand the counselor and empathize with him, even as the counselor demonizes his sexual orientation.
THIS man is a better man than me.
Change can happen any time, it's not as slow as one realizes and in fact can happen in a heartbeat; change is an immediate thing, though habits take time.
You have no idea how condescending i would be if i was this intelligent.
Similarly, I was a teen when the AIDS crisis started and I was absolutely terrified. Having a born again mother and all the anti gay propaganda that was spewed on James Dobson radio, which played every day in our house, and not knowing anyone who was gay, I can certainly understand why the counselor went the ex gay route. I did too. Difference is I'm naturally difficult and I argued with the counselor about every so called cause of homosexuality. It's true what this man says, if you had any difficulty with either parent, then that's because you're "same-sex attracted" (was not allowed to say "gay", you're told you're straight but broken and that's why you think you're gay). If you had no problems with either parent, then you were molested, and if you say you weren't molested,then they counter with you just don't remember because it was so traumatic. Yet all that nonsense really stuck with me for YEARS. I constantly questioned whether he was right and I was wrong.
And for YEARS I racked my brain and read so many books about child abuse to try to remember the so called molestation.
He's like the anti-Ben Shapiro, making actual use of facts and logic.
Him & ben whatshisname should never be named in the same sentence.
No, he said dumber than Shapiro.
@@theblueadventurer615 Which part, which sentence he said was dumber than Shapiro?
Be very careful. You might trigger Shapiro fans speaking truth like that. Don’t let them talk too fast.

@Max Wailer It is natural, as similar behaviors have been observed in animals.
Men who love other men, whether romantically or sexually have existed for a long time. Regardless of how you view the act, those people have all the rights to live out their lives for as long as they do not harm others in the process.
@Max Wailer I don't think that they're saying natural = good, they're saying that since you said it isn't a good rebuttal is that it is.

Amazing that you can work at the top law school in the world and have no logical thinking skills.

People argue that it’s wrong to be gay because it’s”unnatural” yet there are many animals that are gay
If we suppress gays right to be attracted to who they’re attracted to then they’ll be hurt greatly psychologically
So what people want to do is hurt people because it interferes with their morals which were conjured up in religions made hundreds of years ago when slavery was still a thing
That was a therapy session?????????. Ought to be sued for malpractice in the first degree.

"I was hoping you were being dishonest about who you are to further your position in life"

So good to hear an intelligent, logical, human being speak so eloquently.
"When did you choose to be gay?"
"The same day you choose to be straight."
Being straight is a natural consequence of being born. Being gay is a consequence of influence from others or distorted self reasoning, both being controlled by immature emotional understanding.
@@devilsadvocate4611 What? My family never pushed me to be straight or gay. Well, my father's side of the family said that being gay was a choice and how it was bad but as I grew up I stopped caring about other's opinions of myself. No one convinced me to be attracted to the same sex, that happened in isolation because I'm an introvert. I'm not convinced you even understand what you're saying.
@@devilsadvocate4611 Prove that being straight is a natural consequence of being born. Your argument goes from assumption to just plain opinion.

This king is rational, confident, calm and lethal but most most importantly he is empathetic and caring. Like wow, it's a such an awful mistake if his parents choose bigotry and prejudice over such a golden boy.
“Bigotry and prejudice.” So… bi and gay are terms you made up to tell people how your religion views sexuality. You have no proof that sexuality was ever based on sex so all you are is a homophobic bigot telling us what we are and explaining how we are wrong about ourselves because we don’t follow your religion.
@@juniorqindes8335 WTF are you talking about? Sarah was saying that his parents were wrong for being bigoted and prejudiced instead of caring for him as a person.
Are you anti-LGBTQ people, or did you misunderstand Sarah's comment?
Wow, I’ve recently embraced my sexuality as a gay woman at 29, I’m so grateful that I wasn’t raised with these views and (so far) no one has done this to me. What an incredibly eloquent and intelligent man.
"Why are you attracted to men?"
"Well, why are YOU attracted to women?".....
And the irony is, that counselor probably wasn’t even really attracted to women. He was sent to conversion therapy which doesn’t actually do anything
I tried to pull that on someone. (It wasn't actually that exactly, but basically the same.) It doesn't work well usually, they just say, "because it's natural".
Flying Alfredo Saucer homosexuality is natural as well
@@alexroberts3402 I know... That's their thinking not mine.
Flying Alfredo Saucer it’s such a dumb argument too. Why can’t people actually take the time to educate themselves instead of using ignorance to support their beliefs? There is no real argument against homosexuality. I’ve seen people try to say absurd things like “if homosexuality is legal then shouldn’t pedophilia be as well?” Its just so sad to see people that brainwashed

You are probably my favorite comment here
@@mrhandler2219 I think that this dude is joking.
Thank you Scott for not being afraid to speak up on this topic. It’s NOT wrong to be gay, it’s not wrong to be straight. It’s only wrong to NOT live your life the way YOU want to.
i wish everyone could be like u
I'm straight. I like women. And to be completely honest, if someone interrogated me and asked "why do you like women?" I would have no clue what to say. It's just always been that way. I just do. I have no interest in men. And no amount of "conversion therapy" is going to change that. My point is, sometimes "why" is a stupid question.
I think that’s a good attitude. No one can really answer why they love the people they love or why they enjoy the things they enjoy. Looking for some rationalization is both trivializing and futile
Agreed; I'm an entire homosexual and I've been asked that annoying question, "How do you find men attractive?" so many times. I mean...how do you even answer that? I guess it would have something to do with my brain being wired in a way that makes adult male attributes erotically stimulating to me and not adult female attributes but when I've used that as an answer, people still aren't satisfied. I've often found that the people who ask that question are assuming that everyone is naturally heterosexual but, at some point, I just woke up one day and was like, "You know...I think I'm going to start being attracted to men..." which, obviously, has been the case for exactly 0% of people.
This question is just a troll question IMO. If you asked someone 'Why is your favorite color red?" or "Why is your favorite movie genre horror?" you run into the same wall. Why does anyone enjoy any of the things they do? I understand the fascination in figuring out what makes people like certain things (I love learning what makes people tick) but expecting them to answer that themselves is kind of a fool's errand.
@@ajromero3692 that you just said is so true, like I'm a girl, and I like girls more than men, I have always been attracted to girls since I was little, I even had my first kiss with a girl
For me it was not a big deal at all, and when people say it's a trend? I'm like WTF, how about being straight is the norm and this is actually the trend! If you're born a girl, since birth they'll say you'll marry your prince one day and vice versa if you're a boy.

Even in the 50's my parents were perfectly aware their 10-year-old son was probably gay. Did they try to 'convert' him? No. They got him therapy to help him adjust, loved him for the rest of their lives, started their local PFLAG group, and accepted him, his SO, and his friends.

@@dansmith2863 right? That therapist was so disgusting. Makes me wanna barf too
Okay okay, small story:
I came out to my parents (never have had a good relationship with them since they were in and out of the house every couple days, I was pretty much raised by my brother.) When I was in third grade as lesbian (just the start of my sexuality journey, now I'm an Omniromantic Asexual poly bigender idiot =P) and they got pretty mad at me and took me to a Catholic all-girls school (smart move mom lmao). Anyway, whenever they were home they would say that they'd love me no matter what and I showed them this video and GOD DAMNNN WERE THEY MAD.
❤️
I hope your parents can become aware of their ignorance and learn to be more accepting.
+That Izzy at GameStop Keep this in mind. God does not damn anyone. God gives us what we want. If we want a right relationship with Him, wonderful! That's what He wants for us as well. But if we insist on locking Him out of our lives, denying His existence, cursing the world with His name, living in sexual perversion, He will give us that too. The path of rejecting God results in being separated from Him forever, and we do live forever. Heaven or hell. It's our choice. Jesus Christ paid the way for us to be forgiven for our sins. Choose Him, not sin.
@@therightizright9398 Sorry, but god exists literally everywhere, that's the meaning of omnipresence. You can't be separated from something that is everywhere.

"the roman empire fell after it became gay"
"actually it fell after it became christian, i have around 10 books in my shelf about that if you want i can give you some"
"...gay"
@Mr Shekelbergstein what ? are you saying white perSON ? like making fun of me because you think im white ? you know shaming people for their race is literally racism
Mr Shekelbergstein Why you gotta make it a white thing?
It fell because leaders became incompetent with the success of their greedy and luxurious lifestyles, as with almost any empire that pushes their greed to far for their dirty hands to reach.
the truth If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of mammals & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by goat herders, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
@@gaydubbbz8148 I mean, strictly speaking, it fell over 1000 years after it became Christian. Roman Empire fell in 1453, so anyone who says it 'fell' because of one thing or another is wrong, because it lasted for nearly 1,000 years after it 'fell'.
Why is everyone surprised he's articulate and well read. He's trying to get into top notch law schools, for God's sake!

“Haven’t found a gay gene”
Haven’t found a straight gene either
I would be worried if they ever did find a gene or combination of genes which provided indicators for sexual preference. Because right there and then the bigots would start looking for a "cure".
@William Webber Happily for us both, the question of a "gay" gene is a scientific one. So your dislike of gay people and my indifference to them won't make a blind of difference if and when the question is finally answered
@William Webber What they speak of is not a gene. They are speaking of science, however. Science that shows biological differences but the matter does not really matter. I am more worried about the mental health of those who care so much about what others do with their sex organs that they rather them be dead then LGBTQ+. Really sad that such bigots still exist.

I like this kid and I like Ben Shapiro so I'd love to see it. I'd love to see Ben and Milo FINALLY debate..
He has presented only his version of the story of a conversation....this is hardly a debate. Gays tend to be like that.
right he should totatlly write a book about this
"Gays tend to be like that?" So you've never seen a str8 person present their side of any story? Never? How odd.
'All a gene does is affect the expression of a protein.' ☺ - That short sentence alone probably baffled the counsellor.
I’ll have you know my protein is fucking _f l a m b o y a n t._
I was so lost when he started talking about a "gay gene". is that really an argument that anti-lgbtq people are using? the arguments of nature versus nurture are so more complicated. that alone just makes me think the education system needs fixing, that someone actually thought sexuality is controlled by a specific gene.
@ I think you may have miss understood my comment. I was referring to how baffled I was by the "ex-gay" going on about a "gay gene". I was also commenting on my frustration at education systems that allow people to have such little understanding of human biology that they think gene are magical and do more than affect different proteins.
Imagine if he had got into epigenetics 🙃
@@mistdragon6690 Anti-LGBT people made the argument that there is no gay gene, but made that gene up themselves. No one in the LGBT community ever used that term. Anti-LGBT people made up that argument and are debunking it themselves. Make it make sense.
My youngest son has expressed that he is unsure of his sexuality, until he tried to talk to his homophobic father, my ex-husband, and he suddenly became straight.
My hope is that when he turns 18 he will embrace who he is and never let anyone else make that choice for him. Because his mom support's him no matter what. I want him to be happy and never feel like who he is is wrong in anyway.

Homosexuality isn't a lifestyle.
anonymous201096 Prove it
01buttons1 Exactly. And everything natural isn't "morally correct" either. For instance, it's natural for a 9 year old girl who has reached puberty to procreate with a 30 year old man, but is it normal or accepted here in the US? Absolutely not. It's natural to murder a life to sustain a life (look at the African safari for instance), but is it fair to the prey to have his or her life cut short by murder? My point exactly.
uhm... my boy got accepted to Harvard and she's worried about his sexuality. Interesting.
And her sexuality didn't guarantee success: she's divorced!

@@danielguinan1641 -- Sounds like you have your priorities correct. I've known people whose kids had an unplanned pregnancy, there was a heavy sigh, eye-roll, and the parents got on board.

I've read of parents turning their lives and homes upside-down to help a child who is addicted.
My mom went over-the-edge when I came out -- after attending bible college, graduating valedictorian, and marrying a woman for six years. She finally met my boyfriend, and I swear she liked him better than me.
@Kaththee1 -- You're the only one who has written "always." Don't school me.

As a Dad to four great kids, I'd let it be known years ago that if any of them grew up to be gay, I'd support them 100%. So when my 30 yr old daughter came out last year, I was really pleased for her. Finally she's very happy and content ! She's met someone who loves and respects her. Isn't that what every parent wants for their kids ?
