I don't really care as long as they aren't a total jerk. Does it affect you? Not really. So you shouldn't worry about t since it's none of you business.

Personally, I don't mind the 'gay'. They're ususally good people for the most part. But when they start hitting on me, that's when I just back away and draw the line.

Politically and Religiously, I really could care less about their views on the concept of 'gays'. The homo/bisexual people have the right to live and do whatever they want with their lives, as long as it doesnt go into extremes like murder and rape. They ought to leave them alone.

Kind of old, but... well, some serious discussion is needed here. I don't know how FES has changed since my last time here, but if it is anything like it once was, it could use some serious topic revival.

As for my input; I don't mind. I'm a Christian, and have been for (most) all of my life, but I don't seriously mind it. I think that the God of the old testament and the God of the new testament are two seriously different beings. God of the old testament? Kill kids. God of the new? Spank 'em. See the difference, there? /serious.

I have found no real evidence that God literally disapproves of homosexuality (meh, sure he -does-, because it goes against his breeding laws,) but even if I did, I understand it is not a choice (or at least a conscious one, if, by chance, it is). And, life is really short, so people should really just be happy as much as possible.

Bump to Prevent the Obama topic from getting off track.

Gay Marriage:
I'm for it. I'm straight but seriously. If they love each other why not? That's like saying a white guy and a black girl can't get married because of their ethnicity. It's discrimination. Also if God is all loving, therefor I feel that he wouldn't mind gay marriage due to the happiness they would feel for each other but all of the fundamentalists feel that God's love doesn't apply to gays just like they persecuted blacks and other foreigners. Also not having a marriage license isn't going to stop the couple from being together. Married or not they'd live as a couple. So marriage or no marriage they'd be together. Not allowing marriage isn't going to stop people from loving one another. People like to THINK it does, so I ask again why not? They don't hurt anyone. They just have a different sexual preference. Who in society has the rights to prohibit others from exercising their rights because of their rights?

But if God created everyone, then he also created Gay's... because sometimes he knew we would need help in getting the party started

Er, god? Not everyone believes in god.

And the Old Testament is ridiculous. It has no real relevance in the world of today.

Need I remind anyone here who is against gays that the Westboro Baptist Church is very badly hurting your arguement whether you agree with them or not since they are christian. Anyone who doesn't know who the WBC is ----> http://forums.feshri...?showtopic=2931

@Dan: If God destroyed two cities just for their life style that hurts no one, that's called discrimination. Homophobia is no better than sexism or racism, all three are just discrimination. Why would God purposely make LGBT people the way they are so they can be hated, shunned, ect? It makes no sense, and doesn't God love all his children according to Christianity? It makes no sense. And if you say they have a choice and choose to be sinful, not really. It's their natural mind set, it'd be like asking you to be gay.

This is kind of old but...

I personally think that homosexuality/Bisexuality is perfectly fine. I'm Catholic and it kind of pisses me off that even though the church says its ok to be gay, you aren't allowed to fornicate or get married. The only thing that I have a problem with is cross dressing. If you're gay fine, but that doesn't mean you have to play dress up.


An as I'm typing this there is an ad for gay singles on the bottom of this page, so the internet approves >_>


Edit: Ah, that makes sense.

[Zepher Tensho]

Its cuz the google bot watches whats typed in posts and posts ads that match whats being talked about.

[Sleipnir36]

It's just useless to be against homo, bi or transexual people, because there exept of their sexual penchant just like you and me and many of them are great persons like Keith Haring, Selma Lagerlöf, Alexander the Great, Leonardo da Vinci, Lyn, Ike and Heather.

Eh. I'm surprised I haven't commented on this yet.

1)Homosexuality is caused by a deficiency in the brain.
2)You cannot use God against homosexuals, for two very important reasons. A)If you believe in God, you believe we're all products of thousands of years of incest, so we're all horribly mutated and God doesn't love any of us. B)The bible states God only loves fat people, not skinny people, so it doesn't really matter anyways.
3)Flamboyant homosexuals can go burn. Neil Patrick Harris is a good homosexual. Homosexuals can be normal too. There is no need to be an annoying douche and project your homosexuality everywhere because you are insecure about it. Chances are, you're just homosexual because it's the 'in' thing with people today.
4)Non-flamboyant homosexuals are okay. Bisexuals are okay. Pansexuals are idiotic. For those of you who don't know, pansexuals are people who are pretentious bisexuals.
5)@Tsuki. Murder is perfectly justified. For any of disagree, I bring up humanity.

well I have an indecisive opinion on this whole thing, I used to be completely 100% against it, why? because, yes religion and because I grew up hearing from my parents that its bad and sinful.

the reason I stopped being 100% against it was because my exgirlfriend within the first few months of our relationship told me she was bisexual and asked me how I felt about it, I didn't want to say it but I had to tell the truth, she was then crying a river of tears and I felt like a terrible person, the next day I told her I accepted her for who she was, then she was really happy, but then a few days after that she said she was straight again, so thats enough evidence to tell me thats it IS a choice.

Also know someone that is a lesbian, she goes to church and is religious, and so was my exgirlfriend so thats what made me realize that religion isn't an excuse for this.

so now I'm not 100% against it, but im not 100% accepting of it either, im not gonna be a jerk to someone because of it, but I have no idea what makes a person attracted to who they are attracted to, but I'm 100% straight and it's none of my business what sex other people are attracted to, its their life not mine, they have the right to make whatever choices they want.

also in church today my pastor said " love your family, love your friends, love your neighbor and even love your enemies"

even if homosexuality and bisexuality is bad according to the bible, and even if it does make them my "enemies" I am to treat them like I would my family and friends.

@Ezra. To be fair, every teenage girl is 'bisexual' these days. It's called a trend.

Also, 'if your church told you it was sinful to eat food would you stop eating?' Um. Lent. And that fasting thing Muslims(I think) do every now and then.

Also, there are churches for a lot more than just christianity.

My point is, homosexuals are just a type of person who are waiting to die and are addicted to people of the same sex. You can say the same about every single person, just replace what they're addicted to.
