Nowadays, Homosexuality has been a very big issue on sexuality in a lot of nations in the world especially in Christian countries like the Philippines and in some discriminating countries like South Korea.
For my lotters, do you consider homosexuality as a good or bad banner to raise as a person?

If you look at homosexaulity outside the box of christianity there is nothing wrong with it. Even though Christians believe it to be a sin. I myself am a Christian and based upon my religious beliefs I should believe that it is wrong and immoral, however I do not feel this way.
Who are we to say who are permitted to love and care for and who you cannot. If a homosexual couple is truely lovingin and caring then why should we be the ones to say "sorry you are a homosexual you cannot raise a child because it is wrong"..meanwhile they could be turly amazing parents and raise a great child.

I'm curious as to how you mean the term 'discriminating' in this context? The use of the two countires you noted and the Christian element suggest to me that you are tacitly supporting discrimination against homesexuality. Enlightened countries like Australia (yes, I can use 'loaded' language too) write laws against discrimination, thank the Goddess.
The final question you pose is nonsensical, unless you are merely looking for a quantitative figure for those who support your own view, whatever that may be. Whether it is a good or bad banner will depend entirely on the prejudices of the person you ask; there is no objective answer.

What makes you think it is black or white. There is nothing inherently wrong with homosexuality so its not bad. I heterosexuality bad or good, neither it just is, same with homosexuality. You cannot divide the world into all that is bad and all that is good. It just doesn't work like that.

I don't think you can ban sexuality. A person does not choose to be gay its a studied fact. If you choose to ban gay people then what you are choosing to do is make them sneakier. I personally am gay so I really don't think that there's anything wrong with it. No matter how many times we say it, it seems that the word just doesn't seem to spread very far. People are not born straight or gay we do not choose. What we choose is if we will fight for our rights or not. People who follow the rules of society as a human being should, should not be condemned for who they love, they should be respected just like anyone else.
