I've never really heard any good reasons to be so against homosexuality. Some people seem to think that they can catch gay by being anywhere near a gay person. Some listen to their church and how gay people are evil. Some say they are not normal and that's why they don't support homosexuality. But, from what I can see, being completely against it isn't normal anymore. Most people have moved on from that.

Like I said, though, I'll never understand being against homosexuality.

I can't believe I am reading this - is it 1973?

It has been a long long time since gender orientation was an issue.
so I actually think it is silly to worry about it




Sadly, it's still an issue for many, many people. I don't understand it.


Only one person on this thread ...looks like?


I'm not talking about this thread alone. And no, there was more than one on this thread.

Well that soldier that just died for your freedom just MIGHT of been Gay!! Or the fireman that rushed into your burning house and saved U and your family might have been gay. they do their job no matter what some"enlightened" people think about the terrible idea it is to be gay, but those same people will thank God that they were there to protect U, no matter what U might think about them!!!

Right Mike! Goes something like this, "Would anyone care for a teaspoons of hypocrisy with their coffee?"

Just be forewarned, it does kill the flavor....:laughing:

the way i figure it....the more love that is shared in this world, regardless of where it comes from and who it is shared with....the better off we all are!!!!



sharing love, the more the better, ABSOLUTELY

sharing bodily fluids,the more the better, ABSOLUTELY NOT

would it be hypocritical for a woman to marry and love a man even though she knew he was a cheater and disapproved?

people are confusing issues, seems to me


there is a way to love and appreciate people without having to go along with or approve of all their actions, words, and decisions,, not hypocrisy, just an acceptance that there is not one perfect person on the earth


as far as being 'normal',, there are plenty of things that have become 'normal'

but as someone else pointed out that thinking something is wrong isnt something that can be a 'fact', pointing to the 'normalcy' of something doesnt make it right or, less controversially, healthy

smoking and drinking alcohol have become norms in our society too,, but there are still plenty of people who would believe it to be unhealthy and not approve of it merely because it has become so 'normal'

the issue here is that gays are NOT treated as full productive humans in our society. the same was said for women, blacks and my native brothers and sisters who still today are just thought of as "lazy indians" Gays dont want specail treatment, they just wanna be treated the same as other "humans" Why should we care what they do with other consenting adults, if its sincere and its true love,then its none of our business what they do behind closed doors!!

there are several issues in this post

being gay is not something you wear from birth, such as being black or female, so that comparison always seems a bit of a stretch to me

being gay is determined more by BEHAVIORS than biology, in terms of how others view it, as opposed to ones race or gender


there are plenty of gay people that noone knows are gay because there is no 'behavior' in their representation that leads anyone to believe they are


,,,that being said though

humans are received according to how they behave

I do look sideways at a man who walks around giggling like a female or wearing excessive makeup , just as I look sideways at a female who walks around trying to intimidate others or sitting with her legs wide open, just as I look sideways at people who are in their thirties and forties and BEHAVING more like they are still in their teens

There are many behaviors I find odd and unappealing, just like anyone else does, a human that says they dont is being dishonest

as far as what people do with consenting adults, if they dont share it with me, I wont know , or care,,,

I can't speak as a homosexual person because I am heterosexual, but I can speak as a woman. Gays are entitled to equality.

The Human Race for the most part are Decent but because we are brainwashed by media we have forgotten how to think. Most people believe what they read and see in the Elite controlled media.

I agree. They are equally citizens and human beings. They are not equally wives if they are male though, or equally husbands if they are female. I dont agree marriage should be something other than a husband and wife. All those other issues, I understand and support.

Morning Harmony!waving I used to think that way too until I began to consider the legal issues gay couples face..Medical issues, adoption issues, estate issues, insurance issues...I began to understand that their desire to be married is not only about "expressing" their love and commitment to each other, it is also about protecting their legal rights. I think gay marriages should be recognized and treated exactly the same as straight marriages.

You're ok with gay people being treated differently if they're displaying behaviors that you find odd or unappealing?

Im not saying that it's a 100% proven fact that people are gay from birth. But I do believe it. Because my favorite cousin (a man) has been attracted to boys since he was little. Did it take him forever to come out? Absolutely. Because he was afraid of what people would think. He's never been interested in girls. Ever. So are people born gay? who knows for sure. But I find it hard to believe that your sexual orientation isn't something that you were born with. And he would NEVER try to turn someone gay, because he respects that others are attracted to what they are attracted to, and he leaves it at that. That is why it infuriates me when people try to change him, or tell him he is wrong. Because the thought of being with a woman disgusts him just as much as the thought of being with someone of the same sex is to others. So why should he have to change?

And he is the most compassionate, sweetest man you will ever meet. He has so much good in him. So I guess if someone as good as my cousin is going to go to hell simply because he prefers men to women, well..then I'd rather join him there.

Im ok with HUMAN BEINGS discerning what behavior is appealing to them and CHOOSING for themself what they will include or avoid in their own life,,,

I treat adults behaving like children with basic respect, I dont prefer to be around them any more than I have to though

it is similar with any other unappealing HUMAN Behavior I see in others,,,

what in Gods name does mannerisms have to do with it? Just because Black kids wear their pants down below their boxers doesnt make me find it bad. Just because a woman choses not to shave her legs doesnt repulse me!! And just becuase my native friends want to wear their headress and chant to our great father shouldnt make them a target of being rediculed!! we are all different and I accept that thats the way God wants it to be!!

to each their own

I find pants below the boxers looks rather ignorant, regardless of race

shaving, not as much an issue if its not affecting overall hygiene

headress is beautiful and appealing

chanting, well, that depends upon if someone is just walking around in the middle of the road, or if they are in an environment that provides more of a context for it

mannerisms have alot to do with how people perceive others,,,


in fact, its about the only way we CAN attempt to discern the differences and similarities between people,,
