Hell0 everyone! I was wondering how do you actually deal with people from the same gender, who love each other? Do you have friends like that? have you ever met people like that and do you accept this kind of relationships? Do you think it is a real love?

i know a few friends who lives with the same gender. although we are against their relationship, we cannot complain because we also loved them and we are already used to see them together. but i cannot say that this is real love.

but how can you explain people who got married and had a child? i also know a gay who got married and still lives with his wife and still having children. and one that got married with a straight male, had a child with him and at forty, she separated with him and now lives together with a woman?
in short,a gay married a woman and have children but still a gay. the other, a straight woman who got married but turned out to be a tomboy later on.

well, why can't you say it is a real love? what makes you think it is not!? I am really curious about that, because there are many people who say it, without being homosexual and I wonder how can they actually knowit without experienced it!

Hi phoenix, As with all relationships, sometimes it's real love and sometimes it's not depending on the people involved. I have no problem with same gender relationships, we are who we are and no one can change that - so why fight it? I know that there are some good, honest and decent people who feel differently but it's true that it's inbred and can't be changed. Someday everyone will understand and accept this but as with the battle for women's rights,the battle against slavery and many others the main opponent is religion. Many assume that because their particular holy book says something, it has to be right. They seem to forget that they are equipped with a brain and a mind of their own for a reason. Blessings.

Hi again phoenix, Although homosexuality is condemned in the Bible, Jesus himself did not condemn it. In the old Testament you can find such condemnation in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah Gen: Chapter.19 . You can also find it in Lev. 18:22-23 and 20:13. In the New Testament Paul condemns it many times. Examples are 1 Tim.1:9 -10 and Rom:1: 26-27. It is clear that such teachings are of men and not of God as Jesus even hints that homosexuals are born that way. Paul was strange, very set against women, seeing them as staying at home and always obeying their husbands. He also strongly advised men not to marry. Many people believe he was homosexual himself. You might also like to read the story of David and Jonathan. Science has shown that such people are born that way and they cannot change. Blessings.

well, i will try to fid these chapters in the Bible just to see what exactly is written there, and I also guess that homosexual people can't actually change themselves, just because they are born like that!

Hell0 Pose! yes, I also guess that someday all the people who reject the homosexual relationships will approve them, but as you say maybe the religion is really the worst enemy of hososexuality. I have tried to remember where it was written that God's forbids relationships like that, but just can't remember it. And homosexuals are really people who have been born like that and they just can change themselves, if they don't want it, but even then I guess it would be hard to do!

We are all children of God. People, of the same gender, are able to love each other the same as heterosexuals and yes, it is real love. Why would anyone consider it otherwise.
I have no problem "dealing" with homosexuals, they are no different than anyone else. Their sexuality is only one small part of who they are yet they are completely defined by that.
The only problem I have with some gays is that some feel they must flamboyantly express, in public, their proclivities. But then, I also strongly dislike a lot of behaviors that I see, especially on tv, by heterosexuals. Why is it that young women feel that while they must remove their tops as soon as they get drunk?
That is a whole 'nother discussion--hmmm, I guess I'll start one.

this is not love at all. As being humans we do different things and even some time go against the nature.
i think nature has not made us to love the same gender people. think if every body does this.
i think this is actually not love. this is just a psychology to satiate some what.

well, i really don't know what it is, but I also have heard about animals who do that, and it may be really aaginst the nature, but maybe people really love each other, why do you think it can't be love and it is somethign else? what actaully makes you feel that way?

Hi,I hate this kind of relationship but I think the real love is not just for male and female relationship, the most important thing is ,this people care about each other simetimes more than normal relationships.
I respect real love in each kind,no matter whitch gender.
so,througth I hate this kind of relationships but I respect them.
good luck

well, it sounds really weird to me, because I can't realize how can you hate something and respect it at thesame time at the beginning , many years ago I also look with some negativism on relationships like that and even tried to judge people like taht, but later I realized that all they are free to love and take care for the ones that they want and we are not the people, who can tell them what to do and who they can love!

someone may consider it as love but i never consider it as genuine. no gay or lesbian love should be considered as natural love. i have not ever met someone interested in this forum. once i watched a news in my local channel where i found to cousin sisters got married with each other.... oh.. how?

Some time ago I used to think these are just people seeking for attention but I met some couples who made me believe they love each other.For me personally this seems a bit strange but if they don't have problem with all the people pointing out at them then ok-let's leave these people live their own life and do not try to intervene in their intimate relations.

hell0 Mokkka!
Yeah, I also think there is nothing wrong with relationships like that, and I also was sceptical like you at the beginning, but that happened when I was a bit younger than now, and with the age, I realized that these are ordinary people like me and you, who just have some different interests and characters than the ones we have. It is really something normal, even in wild nature there are some animals who have some homesexual relationships and as far as I know goats are some of those animals :) and I guess that they don't do it, because of some attention seeking guess it si the same with people
thanks for your comment
