The author of that article is actually not a lesbian. She is married and has three kids.

Let's keep it cool guys, there's an interesting debate here and it shouldn't be ruined by using labels and unecessary adjectives against whoever.

I think the problem that some don’t understand is that man and woman are just too different to be treated the same way. Emotionally we are a world apart. We are like two opposite poles of a magnet. We are not the same but we can’t exist without the other. Gays have no polarity, they have been demagnetized.

Behind every great man stands a strong woman. Women have alot of potentials and I don’t see anybody here cutting down women, or gays for that matter, as long as it doesn’t affect our family values or they don’t attack our integrity and self respect they can go on about their lives without influencing the young. Most Armenian women that I know will have no respect if men acted the way some of you describe. That is so unnatural not only because we are Armenians with strong traditions and of our learned good values but also we are genetically designed. Don’t mess with Mother Nature. Sorry but I am a simple guy and I believe in God and this is not what he had in mind.

Pedro buddy, didn’t Freud experiment with all types of mind altering drugs (PCP) to enhance his understanding of human mind?

That's exactly the point... people can do whatever they wish but when they step on Armenian soil, they should live by Armenian values. A country can't have people from other countries running the show, which is what these special interest groups try to do.

That's what people exactly fails to do. When people (specially Westeners) go to another country (poor countries, Eastern countries), they expect its society to mold with their values and understand them...but if a people who is not from the West of has no Western values goes to their countries, they can't tolerate them to behave as they do in the homelands...they have to mold to THEIR society. Once again, double standards

There may be double standards but all values in all societies are subject to change. The advantage we humans have over other animals is our versitility-the ability to adapt and we have changed our values accordingly many times over. The role of a woman has changed many times over in many societies and will continue to do so, this is completely natural. Human behavior is not set in stone and doing so compromises our ability to survive.

You're right, but I was referring to the double standards applies by some people when they think their better.

The roles are always changing, and as you said it is natural for it to happen. As of today a woman has to become more independent, because sometimes she acts not only as the raiser of the family but also as the provider.

So what don't you go preach this in Turkey and Azerbaijan who are pumping out armies and armies of kids instead of Armenia whose population is dwindling?

You do not raise a countries population by limiting women to motherhood because they will get the hell out if you do that. Armenia needs a better standard of living and security for it to grow its population and women can play a important role besides the mother one.

So what do you suggest? Armenia have all the men adopt children from Haiti and raise them? Or maybe just toss a couple embryos in a jar and watch them grow? Have you ever watched animal planet? There is this thing called re-pro-duc-tion. It's pretty cool, you can actually increase the population from having sex and caring for the offspring. It's not only fun, but it's something the whole nation can do. It's a novel idea.

Yeh but you need those people to be able to make a living there so they can keep living and reproducing there. Waving the tricolors wont feed the family. We need to improve our economy and society and we need peace to do it in. I have been saying for a long time now the key to our success as a nation is for us in the diaspora to make personal connections with Armenia. I have been over this already many times. The more accepting a society is the more it will grow. By accepting people from different walks of life without prejudging them you will see many diasporans and many otars moving to Armenia. This influx of immigrants plus the natural reproduction since people will be staying instead of leaving will allow our population and country to grow and strengthen.
