if  you are against gays/lesbians , what are your reasons for being against them?
87622
the reason people are against gays/lesbians are the fact that they do not fit the social norm and they are not hetero like everyone else on this plant or so they think and also they find the sexual acts disqusting mainly religion is a big factor in this because we are taught it is not natural....

Interesting article indeed. I do agree with you in the sense that it is not a choice- it is only explainable by they way a person FEELS or thinks, not by the way he WANTS to think. I hate people who hate people with different sexual orientations- they dont have a right to judge people by their feelings and preferences, although i dont have a gay/lesbian friend in person.

Because we ARE gay? Why do people hate us, is it the fact that they can't stop poking their big fat noses into other people's sexual business? Pathetic...

i don't think that if someone defends the right of gay people he/she is gay, I'm not gay and live in a country where their rights are not respected and i don't like it but can't say that I've done a lot to change it but it's also very, very hard!

Some people with certain religious beliefs, or cultural attitudes will not like you because they feel it is wrong, or are disgusted and threatened by the idea. There is nothing you can do about that.  It's been my experience though (as a gay man) that if MANY people don't like you, as you stated, It's probably not because of your sexuality. You might want to look at other aspects of yourself as the problem.

I love when people speaks of equal rights...(this is discrimination against a sector of the population) (I do not believe people choose to be gay, hated, beaten and have to hide themselves)\n\n(we just ask for the rights of marriage, they can call it the forsaken union for all I care)\n\nIn our politically correct society maybe I should not be referred to as gay (I am not always happy)....hetrohandicapped... (they could give us a special sticker and a good parking place)

you say you don't hate nor that you are intolerant....and yet the wording of your question sounds very intolerant.  \nI don't "demand" anyone go along with any agenda.  I don't have and "agenda."  I simply believe that people should have equal rights and be free from discrimination.

I disagree with all of those lamers. I don't agree with homosexuality. However, I would never be mean nor judge them. I have my reasons, and that's all I am going to say about that! Thanks for allowing me the chance to express that.

Joanna,\nYou ask a genuinely thoughtful and, I think, respectful question.  You deserve a likewise, respectful answer.  I don't know your age, so I can't determine how much experience you may have talking about or hearing different views on the subject of   people's sexual orientation.  I've had many years of listening to the rantings of religious conservatives (granted, usually through the media) who have at various times claimed that: gays deserved AIDS as it is God's punishment for immoral behavior; gays and lesbians should not be allowed to teach school, providing a negative role model for kids; homosexuality is sinfully perverted, no different than pedophilia, or any number of other criminal behaviors; public signs of affection between same sex partners is somehow more disgusting and socially aberrant than straight PDA's; etc, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum.\n\nIf gay people and those who know, love and support them and their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have a hard time having a "talk" with religious conservatives (Christian or otherwise) it may be because there often seems to be a condescending, 'holier than thou' attitude to these discussions.  We're told that "I love homosexuals, but hate their lifestyle", or "God made us all equal, but we must overcome our urges to sin"!  Ugh, it's depressing, frustrating and frankly insulting coming from someone who isn't gay and hasn't lived through the threats, intimidation and sometimes physical violence perpetrated on gay people.\n\nWe sometimes feel like the 'last acceptable minority' to single out to disparage and scapegoat.  Sorry, Joanna, but you asked the question, and I want you to know the answer from my perspective.  I'm a spiritual person, who believes deeply in my connection to God, the divine, and it's awfully offensive to have to hear people with no greater moral compass than I, and often I think, much less, offer pronouncements on my soul's fate.\n\nThat you've "never heard anyone say 'I HATE gays'...", doesn't sound very convincing to me, I'm afraid.  It does speak volumes about 'how' we hear what we hear, and what we 'want' to hear at times.  Trust me, it's being said, in many ways subtle, sometimes with sweet, sweet kind tones.....but make no mistake about it, the intention IS there.\n\nI wish we could have had this discussion in person; I certainly don't mean to offend you, and I hope I don't come across that way, but I do emphatically want to stress that when you, or anyone talks to a gay person about their life, lifestyle, etc. you are treading on something so fundamental, so private, and so much about who they are as a person, that you can't help but stir their deepest feelings.

this is what gets me woundering about gay/ lesbians...if a guy is gay he says he dont like woman....but he dresses and tries to look like a woman....then there are lesbians says i cant stand men but the get the short hair cuts and dress like a man work out like a man and try to be like a man...so if someone dont like the oposite sex why do they try so hard to be just like them.... i do agree with you its just nasty.....my comment on the subject,,,

I am told by gays that it is discrimination but it's not.  They think we hate them.  I don't know any Christian that hates them.  We believe the bible and the bible says they're life style is wrong, that no homosexual will inherit eternal life.  We all have our own sins we have to bring before the Lord.  It's no worse than any other sin.  But how can God forgive them of it and heal them if they insist it isn't sin?  If your attitude is loving even though you don't accept what they do, then you are right with God.  The rest isn't yours to deal with,  it's theirs.  God bless you for having such a kind heart.

Why is that such a small percentage of the population can cause so much grief. Most of the people in this country still see homosexuality for what it is morally wrong. If they must be together I am not even going to attempt to stop them. Neither will I ever embrace their cause,and this is what really irks me that the homosexual community and their supporters insist that I do so or then I must be a homophobe. The lifestyle in my view is no different than an addiction to drugs or alcohol or any other aberrant behavior. "I often hear live and let live" FINE don't try to force me into accepting what I cannot and will not.

I would correct the stereotype of the butch feminist dyke.  There are butch feminist dykes out there, but they are far far out numbered by the femme feminist lesbians and bisexuals.  I hate this idea that all gay women have to be ugly or hate femininity.  I find certain feminine traits problematic (don't get me started on high heels) but that doesn't mean that I hate being a woman or I hate men or something.  I'm bisexual for crying out loud, I don't hate men.  Likeing girls is not inversely proportional to hating men.

Yes, it is a simple question and yes, it's still badly worded.  Many guys don't like lesbians although many women do like gay men. Figure that one out. I adore gay men and straight men too. I see most of them as small children in large bodies; although a straight gentleman can't often help me with colour combinations for the living room.

I honestly don't have nothing against gays. Gay people have never done anything to hurt me and I try my best not to do the same. If that what you choose, that is your business. I can't judge and I can't say. Who am I to judge. If your heart tells you to go for it, I say go for it. Please use protection!!!!!
