Societies standards =/= what is right.

No worries, sorry if I sounded harsh as well. But I do agree with you. Societies standards can never be accepted as what is right. I just don't think that applies to this question is all.

I'm fine with homosexuality. I am actually very passionate about the whole gay marriage issue and am rather disappointed with what happened in California, so I'm not going to go into it too much farther since I'm not good at keeping my cool in regard to this subject. Even if being gay was a choice, I don't see what's wrong with it. It's just different, and I'm honestly a bit disappointed that difference still breeds so much intolerance. But eh, we're only human, I suppose.

I don't think so. If everybody knows the answer is right, they're going to pick it. Not to look politically correct, but because it's blatantly the right thing to believe in. I've met a lot of people who find homosexuals disgusting and they aren't afraid to admit it. I'm pretty sure it's the same for PC. Just give the thread time for more replies and eventually it'll turn into one poster versus the world.

Anyway, homosexuality is perfectly fine in my book. I don't care if religion denounced it, mostly because I don't believe in religion. Someone can't control their sexual orientation; why would you want to judge it? That's like going over to a couple of Jews and throwing them in concentration camps because they're different. It's discrimination and it's idiotic. Homosexuals are people, are they not? Are we not all meant to believe in equality?

No problem with it. Bu8t where i am making fun of it is cool so i just do so to seem cool. Otherwise i find em cool. As long as they dont hit on me i am fine. I mean i prefer girls and all.

Wait. What? You're perfectly cool with people being gay but you're shallow enough to slag them to look cool? Does that not sound the tiniest bit hypocritical to you?

matt561 January 23rd, 2009 12:17 PM

I don't mind it, so it's "Right" I guess, I mean there's nothing bad about it.

Akio123 January 23rd, 2009 12:21 PM

I never really got the whole "hating gays thing." I mean everyone is a person, what's the point of hating people for no real reason.

I definitely agree with that.

Anyway, I did actually vote "I feel uncomfortable around pople like that". If I think about it, I can't see any moral problem with it, but the fact is that quite a lot of people's initial reaction is "Eww!" Its not meant in an offensive way, its just a reflex and when you actually ask people to think about it, they'll almost always say that its fine.

Dukey January 23rd, 2009 1:40 PM

I'm fine with people being Gay, I mean why should we have anything against it. It's not affecting us, so just let it be.

Forewarning; this thread will be heavily watched.
If any flaming comes up, this thread will be locked in a second, so let's keep this civil.

Erm, don't take it offensively, but I think homosexuals are unnatural. I mean, the human body is programmed to like the opposite sex, and I can't really understand how two people of the same sex could love each other romantically. Could it just be a misinterpretation of feelings or do they really love each other?

I don't feel comfortable around homosexuals, and frankly, I find it disgusting, but bisexuals, I'm not too offended by. Meh, I may get over it after a while. It's just that it's a relatively new idea, this homosexuality thing, and many religions, including mine, condemn it. So I'm still trying to get around the idea of it. How exactly can two people of the same sex be romantically attracted to one another?

And the person who made this thread was also the one who made that God thread. You're quite the thinker, aren't you?

Well as a gay male, I don't understand how one can be attracted to a female. But I don't find it disgusting. :|

Clearly I'm fine with homosexuals being one. Love is love.

Rioku_Zanketa January 23rd, 2009 4:53 PM

My girlfriend was a lesbian. I turned her bisexual. I have no problems with people who love the same sex. If I make fun of a homosexual guy, it'll only be because he might be wearin something rediculous. On the women's side....well, I'll keep my thoughts to myself on that part. ^_^;

I think you're one of those people who try to please everyone. Those people are very disliked where I come from. Either you dislike gays, like them or ignore them. You can't say they're cool and then tease them just to be cool. That's just plain mean and hypocritical.

And to stay on topic, I just automatically say 'Eww!' when someone says they're gay. Otherwise, I don't really care. As long as they don't act like a girl, I'm cool with gays, despite what I said above. I just want to get over with the homophobia thingy and then figure out how people are born gay.

Metatron January 23rd, 2009 4:55 PM

...I don't care.

It never bothered me, and I never had a problem with homosexuality, and I don't see why the hell people are still so concerned about "preserving marriage." It's retarded that we're still not in an age where this difference is accepted. Whether you're born that way, or it's something you developed later on in life, it's none of anyone else's effing business what goes on in your bedroom at night. Love knows no boundaries.

Okay, every thread maker is on a gender/sexuality thread phase

I am a proud gay guy who will speak my mind on the subject in a quick snap. Its no more wrong than any other sin so I think the thread maker should make a new thread asking if every other sin is truly wrong. Can someone please quote the bible where it says its wrong? I believe it says a man shall not lay with another man or something? Thats fine, I dont have to lay down to do what I do. Okay honestly I think if everyone is going to judge us based on our sin then I dont think anyone should be accepted because we all sin.

we're not robots and love is love, what's not to get?

as for me, I'm fine being around homosexuals, even some of my friends are gay and I don't care if they hit on me, I'm cool with it

It said something about marriage is between a man and a women, but I have not a single clue where.
I'm fine if people enjoy those of the same sex, since they don't really do anything to me.

It's not really a choice, it's something your born with and its perfectly fine to be.

Thanks for saying this. I know for a fact I was born this way and as we know God makes no mistakes. To everyone who is so accepting, you dont know how much it means to us! Thank you! =^.^=
Just because we are gay you do not act as if every gay person is out to touch you and its wonderful to know. We have standards too(mine higher than most).

s0nido January 23rd, 2009 5:07 PM

Oh, OK. I'm still going to feel uncomfortable around gay people, but I may or may not get over that. On forums, though, I don't really care. As long as they don't try to hit on me. I'm not that OK with it...

Tokin January 23rd, 2009 5:09 PM

as a homosexual myself, I must say it is of course something I am not ashamed of, nor is it something I chose, it is the way I am and I know nothing about the reasons why am this way, not that I'm in such a hurry to figure it out since I'm comfortable this way, and @ Lord GaGa, it is true that it's more common to be heterosexual, but our body is prepared for both instances, did you know that the male G point is located in a place where....well, where it would be reached by being on the receiveing end of sexual intercourse, if you know what I mean.
As for your stance, I respect it, and like to see that you're trying to get over that firm disposition you have, I would advise being more sensitive in the future whenever someone tells you they are homosexual, many are quite sensitive about it, besides hurting their feelings, they could react in a negative, even violent way

Yeah, I think that many people who are straight feel that way.
I don't care on the internet either, since it's just internet.
But hitting on is still hitting on, and I will snap if anyone ever tries to pull that.
Otherwise, I'm cool if they're my friend.

I have no idea, which is why I mentioned it in a very ambiguous and suggestive way^^;
