SD冠军锦标赛｜美国藤校演讲与辩论赛中国选拔赛

I want to start with a thought experiment. 我想以一个思维实验开始我今天的演讲。 Suppose I told you that I'm imagining an activity that takes place between consenting adults, doesn't hurt anyone, and results in a great deal of pleasure for the people involved-and that's all that you know about the activity that I'm imagining. 此刻我们来设想某种行为，它发生在自...

What about the other side of this contrast? Sexual orientation. 我们接着谈另一个问题：性的取向。 I have a certain sexual orientation. 我有着某种性取向。 What is that? 它是什么呢？ I'm attracted to people of a particular gender. That's true. 我会被某种性别的人吸引，没错。 I'm also attracted to people of a particular age range, body type, personality type, certain ...

So much of what I've said tonight is based upon my moral convictions, convictions about fairness, convictions about justice. 今晚我在这里探讨了这么多，全部基于我个人的道德信念，我对公平的信念，我对公正的信念。 I think the way gay and lesbian people are treated in our society is wrong, not just irrational, but morally wrong. 我坚信这个社会待同性恋者不公，这种不公正的对待...

In fact, I want to take this a step further. 事实上，我进一步想说。 I want to say not only does this argument scapegoat gay people and make that sort of mistake, it actually is a greater threat to the family than what it's trying to fight. 这种论断不但错误地把同性恋者作为替罪羊，而且，比起它反对的同性恋来说，这种论断本身就是对家庭更大的威胁。 Let me tell you another stor...

I must admit I find some of these bizarre. 这种说法让人不寒而栗。 How does what I do in bed "threaten the nation's infrastructure?" 我们在床上的事情，如何能动摇国家的基础呢？ I might think I'm powerful in bed, but whoa, that's a crazy claim. 我的确在床上比较威猛，不过这种指责也太不着边际了。 Nation's infrastructure better watch out tonight, baby. &q...

Now, in the early days of my lecture, when I used to talk about risk, that is all I would say. 在我早先的演讲中，当我谈到风险的时候，我就只讲上面这些就够了。 But people would sometimes try to ask me a question during the Q&A period. 不过有人会在后面的问答环节里试图向我提问。 And I say "try to ask my a question" because it would often come out in a kind of garbl...

So, what is it really about? We need to look to some of the non-religious, or secular, arguments against homosexuality, and we especially need to do that if we are genuinely committed to living in a society that embraces freedom of religion. 所以，真正的原因是什么？我们来看看一些非宗教的，或者可以说更世俗的观点。当我们生存在一个支持宗教自由的社会里并且真心热爱它的时候，我们...

In the simple act of saying "his partner, Mark," not "his friend," or not "his roommate." 她的话非常简单："他的爱人马克"，她没有说"他的朋友"或者"他的室友"。 I mean you could hear the quote marks around the words. This is John's "roommate." His partner. 你甚至能从这话里听出言不由衷的引号来：这是约翰的&q...

杨教授： 您好！我是看了您对同性恋者的看法我有些问题想问下您。 我怀疑我也是同性恋者。为什么这么说呢？在学校里他是我的一个好兄弟，我很喜欢和他在一起玩，但是我看他和别人玩的时候我有一种不愿意的感觉。还有做什么事他不叫我，我就觉得心里不好受。我这种情况是不是一种同性恋的倾向，但是有时候我会努力控制自己不去想！总是做点别的事来分散我对他的那种想，主要是在学校我那种状况会严重。还有...

小婵的妈妈想拿水果进去给她们吃，刚把门推开一条缝，便看见了这一幕。她震惊不已，甚至惊慌失措，不知怎么办才好。 本来，孩子有个要好的同性朋友是一件很好的事，不过，假如他们(她们)太过于亲密，整天搂搂抱抱的话，似乎就变成了令人头疼的事了…… 她和她“上床”了 小玮和小婵是小学五年级的同班同学，由于两家离得很近，因此她们每天几乎都是形影不离的。 在学校的时候，她们...

一位昔日的朋友来访，羞于启齿地谈起一件事：他的13岁儿子与邻居家同龄男孩自小在一块玩耍，从幼儿园到小学一起上学，情同手足，形影不离。但近来他感觉到两个孩子常背着人躲在一起，关系似乎有些反常。细心的父亲终于发现两个孩子在一起干着“下流的勾当”，如互相玩弄对方的外生殖器等等。 对此，他既着急，又惊慌，怀疑两个孩子是不是产生了同性恋。 笔者还遇见一位读高中的女生。近一个月来...
