Right or wrong, if that's your view, it's just plain ignorant.

From what I've read, it's not unusual at your age to have these kinds of thoughts about people of your own sex. I myself had them about girls in school when I was your age (I'm female).  However, I am straight. You sound like you are straight. But there's nothing wrong with being gay, aside from the fact that gays are unfairly discrimated against.

Wow Marcell, You have really demonstrated what is wrong with conservatives. So I assume you mean that giving gays like myself the right to marry is a "special right" because we didnt have that right before. Wow. I think its likely you would be quoting mythology in all your arguments. My firmly held belief is that you cannot explain things rationally to people who believe in an invisible man in the sky who sees everything they do and is waiting to smite them if they step out of line. Its just nonsense, and the sooner more people reject this mythological hysteria about virgin babies and magic boats that hold millions of animals and prophets falling from the sky, the sooner people will adopt reason in its place. But whether or not people are willing to question their dogma, I'm still going to fight for a womans right to choose, for full rights and inclusion for gays, etc. I'm not going to let someones silly mythologies and superstitions stop me...

I am not liberal or a conservative, but I do think that it is wrong to teach children that there is a difference in peoples sexual preferences.  Children at that age should not know anything about what adults do.  I know it is hard to keep them from hearing everything, but there is no reason to put it right in front of them.  The schools should teach acceptance of all people despite race, gender, etc.  I think that in this day and age it is hard for us to protect our children from all the harsh realities of life.  Your son will be exposed to this at some point in the future but it is up to you to teach him what you want him to know.  And, you have to be ready for your child to make his own decision on how he feels when he is older.  His best friend may end up being gay or something you don't like.  I think that you have every right to raise your son how you want to, but you need to be ready for him to rebel in some way, or to just not have the same convictions as you.  I know that my parents are proud of me even though I don't have the same beliefs as they do.  My parents never tried to force their beliefs on me, but they did try to influence my decision by telling me what they thought was right.  \n \nDon't try to understand the agends of the political world.  The basic thing is to make the other guy look bad so you will always look good.  It is all a bunch of crap anyway.  Go with your feelings and forget the rest of the junk.\n\n\nI would also like to ask a question:  Why does being gay have to be an issue?  Is a gay person not still a person just because he is gay?  Why do we have to fight over gay rights?  I thought that as a person we already had all the rights we needed to be allowed to live.  " the right to life, liberty, and the persute of happiness"  How does being gay change those rights?  If being gay is what makes a person happy then they have the right to be gay without being treated differently.

bad people are bad, stupid people are stupid, ignorant people are ignorant, mindless people are mindless, mentally disturbed persons are mentally disturbed.\n\noww..u fit in all those categories, is my guess.\n\nand GAYS ARE GAY...i would agree on that.

For the umpteenth time:\n\nIf homosexuality is wrong, so is heterosexuality. For everyone who claims that it is a "choice," I'd ask them to recount the day when they "chose" to be straight. I know that I certainly wasn't given an option, I just knew that I liked girls. It's the same for gay people. They just know. \n\nFor those who claim that it is unnatural, I'd point to the behavior of bonobos, dogs, and penguins as just a few examples of homosexuality in nature.\n\nFor those who say that "it's against the bible," I'd say that it is time to reexamine the old myths and decide whether they really have a place in our modern world.\n\nLove is love is love.

Sadly, no.  For some reason, people who don't understand homosexuality feel that they are somehow able to generate opinions on the topic.  I don't see why they have such negative opinions on something they don't even understand.

"everything a gay person does is gay because they are gay themselves" - I love that!! Does it extend to all the mundane day-today stuff too? ;)\n\n"gayness is not a sex act". I'm glad you included that. I get fed up with people saying homosexuality is wrong because gay couples can't procreate. Technically, my DH and I can't have children naturally - does that mean that our love is sinful too? When will people realise that relationships are about love and emotion and not just about sex?

I cannot get over the stupidity of those of you who answer thinking that the question is comparing gays to animals.  The writer is merely pointing out that natures considers homosexuality as normal. Animals having that instinct canot be blamed on intellectual choice or mental illness the way antigayists try to portray.  So please if you want to answer the question, try understanding it first.\n\nThat said, most antigayists are homophobic, which really means they are fearful and fear means "what can happen to me? How can thishurt me?  Subconsciously the fear is they themselves may be gay if they allowed themselves to accept it in others.  Why fear that? because then they believe they may be ostracized by their friends, familiy and neighbors and perhaps by their GOD.    Animals, which include humans, by the way....mammal.......there is no intellect. Man is the only mammal withy extensive intellect and reasoning.  If we take that away, tere would be no fear and no ostracism.  There would merely be survival. It is clear that despite homosexual behavior in animals, that is not a concommitant of their extinction ior being endangered , the continue to survive.  In this analysis antigayism is fear based and there is no good reason for it to be wrong.

First take a deep breath. Now repeat after me..."Just because I'm not a jackass about homosexuals does not make me gay". I belive you are putting way to much pressure on yourself. You could have issues with women from your childhood or something or you could just not have met the right woman. As to your question  I don't put people in boxes, you don't have to be gay, bi, or straight. I'd say more but this is an open disscusion, so if you want to talk just e-mail me.\nPS Ignore the gay bashing that will probaly be in some of the answers.

Look dont drive yourself crazy with this stuff. They hate because they got no brain. And they hate to make themselves feel better. I used to hate gays and i NEVER KNEW REALLY WHY! Until I got to know some in a nonsexual manner. And you know what ...their just like YOU and Me. I used to be like them. I was ignorant so I guess the answer from me is... their ignorant. Live and let...

Well, it's never happened to me because I'm straight. My friends (one lesbian, one gay man) have had several stupid things like that happen to them. \n\nWe're living in a time when discrimination and prejudice against homosexuals is socially acceptable. The fact that Rick Santorum can say some of the things he's said and not be called prejudiced and publicly ridiculed should say a good deal about what our society thinks about homosexuality. \n\nHowever, this has been the same attitude toward all sorts of ethnic groups or other groups in the past. And slowly, people get over themselves and start accepting. \n\nIt'll take 30 or so years, but we'll get there eventually. \n\nSorry you had to deal with stupidity.

I'm not understanfing what problems you're having?  You want to know if looking at gay porn is wrong?  Well you're gay...so I don't see why not.  I mean if you're looking at it in a religious way, I don't know, not a religious person.  But I don't think there is anything wrong with you looking at gay porn.  Straight guys wantch straight porn, so why not look at gay porn if you're gay?  haha I hope that's what you were going for.

well lets start with TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GAYS: why are you even posting any answers to this question nobody asked if you liked homosexuals, and frankly i don't think your opinion matters to them anyway, now FINALLY to answer your question. If you are talking about looking at Kiddie Porn and looking at really young like adolescent boys you do need to get some help b/c thats illegal, their is nothing wrong with being gay but their is something wrong with looking at little boys, so please do yourself a favor and all of us and go get some help.

Not for me.\n\nCan't people stop questioning why people are gay and just accept that people are gay?

No. We each have an obligation to ourselves and to society to do the right thing. Unfortunately the line between right and wrong is blurred, distorted and beyond recognition. \n\nMost people know (either by experience or knowledge) that is is morally wrong. Most people who know that is it wrong and see others without a moral compass get hurt, confused, feel shame, guilt, or despair, mostly want to help others. It is this "helping them to see the light" that turns into bashing (unfortuntely). \n\nThis lifestyle may be fun for a season, but ultimately it will end, and sadly.\nWhy so you think gays try to "normalize" their life? They try to get married, try to adopt kids and try to be accepted?
