Homosexuality is wrong!!!!

Why do you even post a discussion if you find Homosexuality wrong, unnatural and revolting as you have said. You know this discussion is what's wrong, unnatural and revolting because gay people are people who deserves respect, love and understanding like everyone else and whether you like it or not they are not going anywhere, they are here and you will just have to accept it. To quote Vida Boheme, Noxeema Jackson and Chi Chi Rodriguez - "Your approval is neither desired nor required!"

I consider myself a Christian - Protestant is about as specific as I can go. Yes, the Bible says homosexuality is wrong and unnatural. It also says lying is wrong, a sin - and virtually everyone lies at one point or another. Disrespecting parents? A sin. It also says to love thy neighbor as you would love yourself - it makes no exceptions for homosexuals. Therefore, I have no quarrel with homosexuals. I support their rights, because as humans, they DO have rights, and deserve to have those rights recognized. Counseling and re-education, in the way you mean, is pointless for those who are born gay (and yes, such people exist). Teaching people to fight who they are when who they are hurts NO ONE is a recipe for disaster. From a religious point of view, I believe there's an expression that says you can hate the sin, but love the sinner - it doesn't sound like you follow that where homosexuals are considered. How about liars? Adulterers? People who disrepect their parents? Do you continue to love them regardless of those transgressions? You don't have to like homosexuality. That's fine. And that's great that you don't think violence should be used against them - many others don't share that opinion. But saying hateful things can be just as damaging. You have a right to you opinion - just please be careful how you express it. After all, I'm sure there are things about just about everyone that anyone could take issue with, and I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate people saying hateful things about you - which is probably going to happen as soon as people read this post.

You have the right to hate homosexuals just like a person has the right to hate someone who has different skin color than they do. You don't have to like them but you should respect them. If there is a homosexual who is willing to take counseling and re-education then let them. It is one thing to hate homosexuality but it is another thing to tell them they are wrong for being homosexual. Yes it is possible for them to go from homosexual to heterosexual but many of them are proud of who they are. It is a preference they decide to stick with. Let them be who they want to be they are not hurting anyone.

Love is love wherever you find it. I support love in any form. I think what has you confused is that the male and female bodies are made to work together... to 'fit'. That does not mean that a man can't love another man or a woman can't love another woman! All animals, humans included, are made in the male and female form. Yet, you see an awful lot of 'lower' animals commiting homosexual acts. If you truly believe in the Bible, then you know men and women were 'built' the way they were in order to procreate. PROCREATE. Love is something completely different. What about those people born with two sexes? Where does God place them? What about those people who do not believe in God? You are stating beliefs that you learned from your religion. There are many, many religions on this Earth and each one is different. Why are they different? Because MAN made them different. MAN wrote the Bible, not God. Your belief is your belief. Since you believe you can judge others, I don't think it's a very nice belief. YOU are the one who needs therapy, in my opinion.

I would love to ask anyone who thinks people CHOOSE to be gay, at what point in your life did you CHOOSE to be straight? If I chose to be straight I've apparently blocked it out, try as I might I just can't recall the time I said, "Gee, it's about time I decided if I'm going to like boys or girls. Let's see... oh, I'll pick boys." What I do remember though is when I was five and of all the boys and girls in my kindergarten class, there was just one of them, he was a boy, who made me feel nervous and squishy inside. This happened again in first grade with another person - and coincidentally, he was a boy too. Then again there was another one and, would you believe it, it was another boy. Obviously there was a pattern developing. I couldn't help it it. I WAS BORN THAT WAY. So if some people get to CHOOSE, well that's not fair, I didn't get to choose! So tell me all you "good" Christians who insist people choose to be gay, did YOU get to choose to be straight? When? How old were you? What was it like, the process of choosing? Was it a hard choice? Hmmm.....

of course, well i might be bashed for this, but i am totally against homosexuality annd i think we, or people should learn to accept that too. they may be confused but i hope they will learn to see that there should only be a man and a womann.

What you don't understand is that gay people do not choose to be gay. why would they considering how cruel so many treat them? They are born that way and they deserve to live their lives in happiness and peace without others putting them down, ridiculing them etc. It is not right or wrong....it just is. If more people would just tend to making their own lives peaceful and loving and stopped critisizing and outcasting others that they don't even know then the world would be a much better place!! `Do you think it is wrong to be born retarded? Do you put those people down? how about people born with physical handicaps? Yes...I agree more education is needed but I seriously doubt that you and I would be on the same page as to what that education would involve.

[b]we all know that in the Bible it has never mentioned anything about homosexuality. it is only about a man and a woman right. but in this world, we have so much to learn and that we can't really change things. i guess being homosexual is somewhat a trial given to us by God on how we can handle things. this is just based on my opinion. another thing why would God create people who are born with this kind of personality right? well, maybe we only have to open our eyes to the reality of how the world works in our lives. we have to accept things. happy mylotting and happy posting![/b][b][/b]

No, you're wrong! You can do nothing about your sexuality, it's not your choice. I bet that many homosexuals would want to be straights but what can they do? Nothing. Can you force yourself to be homosexual? I bet you can't. And think if there were more homosexuals than straights, everybody would think YOU are the strange one. So think twice next time before thinking like that!

To say that it is unnatural is really wrong as the thats implying that its artificial. Some people are born males but have a lot of their hormones inherited from their males and they will have love for other males and vice versa as well and i wouldn't say that is unnatural. I'm also a christian but you have to know that this topic is sensitive and i do not think that even if you were to come up with any convincing evidence you will get your views across to other people. I do not blame anyone for being homosexual, the blame should go to the cause of it

You are way too young to know how I feel or what causes the world to implode. I get the feeling that homosexuality actually excites you & you are afraid to admit that to yourself. God created homosexuals & He created Christianity. So I fail to understand your argument that "all" religions are against homosexuality. God says I am to LOVE EVERYONE. That I try & do. People like you maks it awfully hard for me to feel love. SHAME ON YOU!!! Please tell me at this point that you are so frewakin PERFECT that you have the right to look down at others. I don't see rehabilitation as the answer for those who HATE others. With that being said, I will do as my God commands....I LOVE YOU even if you HATE me!!!

Buddhism isnt against it,they are against nothing,they live and let live as you should do, please tell me what book and chapter in the bible says that homosexualoty is wrong?

I did have a heaping lot to say in response to this, but I can see that plenty of people have already done this. Clearly, you, me, nor anyone else has the right to declare another human being's lifestyle as "wrong". In addition, those of you who are "wrong" in thinking that homosexuality is "wrong" are the ones who need "counseling" and "re-education". (Did that make any sense?) In other words - turn the wheel around.... is it fair for a homosexual to tell you that your lifestyle is wrong? Why not? Did God come down and speak to you face to face and tell you this is wrong? And for clarification purposes, why didn't what come out as male and male or female or female? Man and woman were created in God's image, right? So if that man or that woman is gay, isn't that a reflection on God?

I agree that its unnatural and that its not my preferred choice, but so are a lot of things we choose to do with our lives. I dont think its anyones right to deny anyone a choice that only affects them. But that includes not bringing it into politics or the classrooms one way or the other

I am a heterosexual however I do think that gays must be respected and not discriminated. The Catholic religion distinguishes between the homosexual act and homosexuals. Homosexuals are also children of God and must be respected. The church condemns the homosexual act only not the homosexuals. The church also condemns adultery. So the church understands the human weakness. Whoever sins whether he is homosexuals or heterosexual can be reconciled with God through the sacrament of reconciliation

So, then what you are saying is that what You believe is right for everyone? I'm not saying I think it is right or wrong, but I don't believe that I, you or anyone else is in a position to judge. With all of the Actual problems we have in the world today, I can't believe people are still wasting their time worrying about how other people live their lives. There are worse things that people do, things that actually affect the people around them. Seriously, why do you think it is up to you to tell others they are wrong? Just because 'every major religion' is against it, doesn't mean that 'every major religion' is right. Some major religions are against 'allowing' women to work or even be seen outside the home;some allow men to have several wives, and do all sorts of other things that are not right, so why are you so sure they are right about this?

There are far more serious things to worry about, then homosexuality! In fact, for our most serious question, our increasing fragile eco-system, homosexuality is a good thing... if done with consent, it is harming no-one and is helping the environment, in that extra mouths are not created, in need of more resources from the increasingly depleted earth...

Well I have nothing against them. I totally respect their preferences. I have friends who are lesbians and gays and I think they are people too just like straight people. They are human beings. They have feelings too. I think people nowadays should learn to respect them, if they cant do it because of their sexuality, I think they should respect them for being human. Yes, most of the people think its wrong, especially religious people. But I think if you have something against them, you should just keep it. It's their life not yours. Like what you said we have different backgrounds and beliefs. You already said it. Respect comes next. It's their choice. Btw, I am straight and I totally respect homosexuals for being human, just like me.

i totally agree with what you have said about being gay is wrong that is so true. but people are going to decide to live their life the way they want to live it no matter how society would like for them to live it. all you can do is pray for those and move on. i know you mentioned reeducation, but honestly i don't think that will work.
