I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.\n\nAgree dude. It's not a choice. Umm if you want a professional opinion, try reading Eric Marcus's book "Is It a Choice?"

I myself BI!!! and very proud of it. I think that as this world is more open to Homosexuality that people will not be afraid to explore the same sex. I think that being Bi Gay or Straight is a very beautiful thing. Love is Love and that's all that matters.

How does your family and friends feel about homosexuality? If they are open to this kind of lifestyle just invite them over and just let them know that you want to share something that is very important to you with them. If that made any sense.

Actually, it says nothing about homosexuality, but it does have some vague passages that people interpret to mean homosexuality.\n\nIt's only okay to do it if you are a priest, preacher or church leader. If not, most god speakers forbid it.\n\nBut, who cares what they think?

You've made a valid point to a logical end with just one simple question.\n\nTry telling that to the Breeder's, those who are hate-filled, that is.  They won't (can't?) accept it.  It seems that logic in some doesn't appear to be even a minor predisposition.  Go figure.\n\nEDIT:  For zain15in (see below) --\n\nEvery point you made can be equally applied to heterosexual's, and most likely SHOULD be, since the vast majority of child sexual abuse cases are perpetrated by people such as yourself (assuming you are a heterosexual and not asexual).\nIndeed, you posit good arguments against YOUR culture but not ours.\n\nAdditionally, most of your ilk argue that homosexuality is found nowhere else in the natural world.  I'm quite certain the respondent who mentioned that homosexual pairings (not same-sex sex) in the animal kingdom (sans homosapiens) is merely a refute to that tired and baseless argument.\n\nRegarding your comment that homosexuality is a deviation:  I'm certain it is...for those of your ilk.  My view about heterosexuality is that IT is a deviation.  But, such as yours, it is only MY view and holds no great merit.  We are two individuals.  No more and no less.  Well .... except that we, the GLBT community as a whole, have the upper hand in this argument and YOUR war against US is on the wane.  Delude yourself no more.  Accept reality, my good friend.  Accept reality.  As you've stated, we've been here for a very long time.\n\nWe're not leaving any time soon.

"the public opinion on homosexuality"
475623
A homosexual is defined as someone who is romantically and sexually attracted to the same gender.\n\nThe key words there are "romantically" and "sexually". If a straight guy has sex with someone of the same gender, the action may be a homosexual action, but that doesn't necessarily change the persons orientation. They may only do it once and never again and there may have been circumstances (like alcohol or drugs, etc) to explain the otherwise odd behavior. The rest of the time the guy always has sex with the opposite sex and persues romantic relationships with the opposite sex. That makes him heterosexual. If he prefers to engage in both sex and romantic relationships with both genders that would make him bisexual and depending on the degree of his bisexuality would determine which gender he prefered to seek out most (man or woman). If a homosexual man decides not to engage in any sexual action, that doesn't mean the desire to has gone away. Nor does that mean that the man's desire to be romantic with another man has gone away either (and oddly the Bible and other sacred texts often used to condemn homosexuality only talk about the sexual act, but not the romantic act...apparently it's okay to be romantic with your own gender). \n\nThat is why it is odd when people say things like "hate the sin, but love the sinner" and then call homosexuality a sin. They simplify homosexuality often down to the action of sex with the same gender.....yet, these same people who say that this is the sin will then continue to condemn the person for simply having the homosexual desires still even if they are not engaging in sexual acts. \n\nThe basic thing that most people miss is that being homosexual isn't just about wanting to just have sex with someone of the same gender. It is about being romantically attracted to the same gender, too. Falling in love with the same gender. Sex may never actually enter into the picture of some homosexuals who are in romantic and loving relationships....yet they are condemned and told they are going to hell because it is assumed that they are having sex or assumed that just by them sharing love with each other that this is wrong (yet, do we not love our friends and family, too...and yet loving friends and family of the same gender is not wrong, why is it wrong when we find a romantic companion whom we may not even engage in sexual acts with?)\n\n\nI see a lot of hypocrisy with the issue and being a homosexual myself, I decided to stop caring about what other people think and focus my life on God without them and their opinions (because if hypocrisy exists in their opinions, then it cannot be from God). I'm a Hindu now, a religion that is very diverse and ranges on its views. When it comes to homosexuality, any condemnation that some Hindu sects have of it isn't based upon religious belief, it is usually about defending tradition or other reasons.

I remember reading about this in college.  It's interesting to show how hetero and homosexuality changes with each culture and age.  It just goes to show you how wrong it is to say that homosexuality is a mental illness, as the military still defines it to this day.  Sexuality lays on a spectrum with hetero and one end and homo at the other.  Most people are neither completely one nor the other, but lay somewhere in the middle.  How we deal with this fact of human nature is determined by the social contract.  Some societies sanction it, some make it illegal, either way the human condition remains the same.  \n\nAlthough growing up in the US today makes us feel that this relationship is disturbing to say the least, there will be a time when future societies look upon our laws and say, "What the F*!@k"\n\n:D

well this is what the LGBT people have been protesting the whole tome such as gay marriage , as they say love is blind . \n\nI my self have been in love with a member of the same gender . It wasn't all homo erotica as people would like to believe that homosexual relationships are about , but because we were of the same gender we were forced to hide it. Because of the secrets that we had to base our relationship didn't work out SO my advice to you or any one if you are in love do not hide love is a glorious thing that should be shared

studies have shown that people are born with a sexual preference they dont choose it.  if God didnt want to have gay people then there wouldnt be any.  i am straight but i dont think there is anything wrong with being gay.

No.  I believe some people are born with gay tendencies, but they still have a choice whether to act on them on not.  Being gay shouldn't be classified with theives and murderers though.  They aren't harming other people.  One can have their own beliefs without using harsh words or bashing.  It is against God to be gay but we are all under construction and have to find out the hard way on everything on this earth.  God said "Judge not, lest you be judged".  A gay person may be living in sin and won't admit it but they still have feelings and the right to be treated with respect just like everyone else.  How else will they open their ears to the truth?

I think it is a good idea. After all, you pointed out that homosexuality exists whether we like it or not and we can't really keep kids heads buried in the sand for the rest of their lives. If you are a teacher, I also feel that you can do a better job of approaching this issue with objectivity than some parents can. I would just point out that it is a choice that some consenting adults make and leave it at that.

I am a straight man.  I have had many gay friends due to my involvement in theatre.  I do not hate homosexuals.  I am also a Christian and I know lots of people who hate homosexuality.  I don't understand why it is singled out as THE sin to hate.  I have told Fat christians that I think gluttony is a sin.  I have told rich Christians that greed is a sin.  I have then asked them why their sin is less of a sin then a homsexual's sin.  I have asked these questions many times in many adult Sunday School classes.  Needless to say it doesn't make me real popular.  So now to your question.  I think a lot of people hate homosexuals simply because they are told they should.  The Christian right is constantly bombarding us with the message that homosexuality is the number one threat to the family unit.  Of cours this is stupid.  Divorce, infidelity and not spending time together are the biggest threats to the family units I know about.  When a Christian tells me that homosexuality is a sin.  I always agree that the Bible does say that a man shouldn't lay with another man.  So by the letter of the law it is a sin.  But then I ask them if they have had to fight off strong urges to sleep with members of the same sex?  They always respond NO!  Then I say isn't it odd that most of the other sins in the Bible hold some temptation for us, but this one, if we are heterosexual holds none?  I then ask them if gay marriage was legal and the gay couples got the same tax breaks and property rights as straight couples would you be tempted to turn homosexual?  Of course they say NO!  Then I zing them with "So why do you suppose that of all the sins listed in the Bible we straight Christians spend so much time and energy focusing on the one that doesn't tempt us and never will?  Isn't it possible it's a convenient way to not deal with issues that DO effect us?  Isn't it possible that it's just a way to feel superior and holy without ever having to do anything but look down on others who are different than us?  100% of the time they then answer: "The Bible says homosexuality is a sin."  This one issue is truly one of the reasons it is hard to stay active in church.  When you KNOW people are judging and being blind and feeling so secure and right about it, it can drive you crazy.  Even when I tell them that I have watched gay friends die horrible deaths of AIDS without adequate medical care because their life partner of many years could not get them on a "family" insurance plan, it makes no impact.  Now having said all of that I would like to share with you some things about the current attitude in our society that makes me dislike the Gay Rights movement.  As a heterosexual Christian male, I am judged and hated before I even have an opportunity to share who I am.  As a straight male, I get sick of being told by effeminate men what is style.  I resent being almost always portrayed in the media as not as smart as gay men, not as in touch with our feeling, not as capable of expressing emotion.  I think on any given night on television there is a lot more straight male bashing then there ever was gay bashing.  There I got it off of my chest.  This is the longest answer I've ever written.  I wonder if anyone will actually read it all the way through?

Interesting question.\n\nThe bible refers to homosexuality as sin and "unnatural." \n\nThen, the bible says, "The natural man does not care for the things of God."\n\nSounds like there are two naturals or more.\n\nNatural: The original state of created things as designed\nNatural: The unchanged Man without God\n\nVery thought provoking...

I think its been established that homosexuality is not a choice.  If it was, you wouldn't have gay guys committing suicide because they can't reconcile their religious beliefs with their sexual orientation.

I feel that we are all created by God to be what we will be. God made homos just as he did heteros. And for those who don't believe that... me and my queens will be waiting to make you over at the pearly gates. I mean really , heaven without gays, I can't even imagine it. But I have a very liberal, lovey, touchy-feely, kind of view of God and Jesus. I don't buy the hell fire and brimstone talk. God is love. Jesus is love. (not gay love, not straight love, just love) I guess a lot of people out there say I can't be christian because I don't believe gays are going to hell. Well, I have a limited amount of space to argue that suffice it to say I disagree.
