That's just nonsense! People who are homos are because they're weak of mind and think they've been abused and become afraid of commiting a relationship with the opposite sex, so they seek for comfort of someone of their own gender. Just another reason why doctors are trying to make up medical excuses to ring in the $$. Homosexuality is a sickness created by societies. Honestly, it's not natural, it's something made up by societies, do you see animals being queerish? I've never seen a queer animal, and I'll be damned if I ever do.

I've seen many a male dogs get jiggy with and hump other male dogs, hapends very regualry actualy, most dogs will try to mate with anything :lol:
 
It is well documented that animals give in to their instincts without a thought.

OT: to answer the OP's question:

Alternative lifestyle.
 
Dunno if this has been posted here, but saw it last night:

Gay Marriage - Legal in 6 U.S states.

Having sex with a HORSE - Legal in 23 U.S states

As for the initial question, I don't care what orientation anyone is. I have had plenty of gay friends throughout my life. Couldn't care less. Each to their own. Etc.
Totally open-minded.

I wish to be asexual, which I pretty much am, but I don't personally understand why somebody would want to be heterosexual or homosexual when bisexuality is obviously better.

And that's probably why you don't understand. You have no interest in sex, so how did you come to reason about what sexual preference is better anyway?

I'd like to know because from my standpoint, I find heterosexuality to be better because it's just that; I'm attracted to the opposite sex. I don't see how bisexuality is obviously better because that still involves a sexual preference in men, which is something I don't have.

There really isn't a "better" to begin with. It all comes down to each individual person's orientation.

:indiff: I think the point is that 27 States haven't taken to time to make it illegal, rather than having laws protecting bestiality. If you want to come up with some State laws proving the contrary, I welcome that.

I should've added a :D face as it was only for laughs. It is funny, but statistics like that mean nothing really.
I think a law still stands in London whereby taxi drivers are required to carry a bail of hay at all times (going back to the days where taxis were horse-drawn).
 
I say it is a genetic predisposition. As I don't believe in God (I'm part of the Tao), I don't feel like the Bible should have any say in this whatsoever. But that's for a different thread, and that is my humble, unswayable opinion.

Hopefully this won't make anyone despise me, but I am a homosexual. I'm 13 years old, and I came out when I was 12. I think I'm well educated about it all, like safe sex, public opinion, etc. I think it is not anyone's right to say it is a sin towards God to be homosexual. God loves everyone as equals, as it is said in the Bible. He loves everyone as though they are His children, according to the Bible. I'm educated in religious studies (studied it apart from school), and I know that to be true, even though I'm not of Christian faith. The cold truth is that the Bible belt is, in general, a close-minded group of people about homosexuality and about many other things. Again, this is a GENERALITY, so just because you live in this stretch of land doesn't mean I have put you with the masses. You all are smart enough to know what I'm saying. Why do I vote Democrat? I'm conservative with financial things and money, but liberal in my ethical viewpoints. I can't bear to vote for someone who thinks homosexuality is wrong.

One thing, as a homosexual, I must get across to everyone: people like Boy George or John Wayne Gacy are extreme stereotypes that anti-gay people have branded upon them. Many people, troubled that they are getting picked on for being gay in school, go overboard, like many gay male singers. Again, A GENERALITY. Serial killers and rapists who were gay, like Gacy, are not evil because they are homosexual, but because they are rapists. It would be just as evil for a woman his age to rape little boys. By that point, it doesn't matter if it is a man or a woman, in my opinion. You are being assaulted.

That's pretty much all I got to say about it. I'd appreciate people to be open-minded about it, and not label us as "dirty 🤬 who spread diseases to people out of mindless lust." I've heard that coming towards me at my school.

So, be kind, and if you don't like homosexuals, then don't shame them for it.

Cheers, and official gay on GTPlanet as of Sunday, May 27, 2012, 12:54 AM! :sly:

If we are discussing legal issues, then you are correct, but personal belief for Christians would come from the Bible by definition.

And I'm almost positive that how the Bible, or whatever text you find holy, affects your view on homosexuality is definitely for this thread.

I hate to break it to you, but nearly everyone thought they were well educated at 13. Nearly everyone found out they were wrong.

It is good that you recognize you are generalizing, but I doubt you would find generalizations about homosexuals to be as easy to ignore. Just as a word of advice, describe it as religious fundamentalists or extremists. One, you don't unjustifiably generalize an entire group/region (California is not close to the Bible Belt but voted down marriage rights for homosexuals, yet no one generalizes Californians) and you include all religions that are opposed to homosexuality due to their belief system (try being a homosexual in Iran and you'll wish you were in the Bible Belt).

I get what you were trying to say, so no harm done, but I thought I'd help you avoid unintentionally offending people.

You don't vote. You're 13. Which is good, because you have another five years to learn there is more than two parties, so you don't have to compromise on one issue to make sure your most important issue is represented.

Ahh... Fundamentalism. The worst excuse for bigotry one can use.

dylansan
They always try to justify it by saying "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on you" is too vague or is out of context. Yet somehow "You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" is not open to any interpretation. It clearly means being gay is a sin.

The old testament also tells you not to eat 4 legged insects... Try interpreting that. :confused: (It's only an insect if it has six legs, for those who missed out on that biology lesson. Aged 7.)

In our modern classification system, all insects have at least six legs.

Leviticus 11:21
"Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;"
Sounds like a grasshopper that walk on four legs with two back legs for jumping making 6 legs total.

In case you didn't know any time anyone tries to write a "word for word" translation, like the KJV, there will be some rough edges in the translation. This is why some referred other versions of the bible more like interpretations. There's nothing wrong with interpretations as this is what a preacher does every Sunday. This makes reading scripture a lot easier than word for word translation.

All that considered, it still doesn't make eating insects/getting a tattoo/being gay a sin, regardless of the biblical interpretation.

Plenty of societies around the world consume insects as part of their normal diet and in order to survive. Just like plenty of people are gay simply because they are.

Nicely put, although an argument for why getting a tattoo isn't a sin would win you BONUS POINTS!

Because in the greater scheme of things nobody should really give a toss whether anyone wants ink.

Millions of starving kids in Africa? Sod that, let's moan about people doing what they want with their bodies!
 
What do you mean, you "Don't believe in homosexuality?" It's not like the Easter Bunny, your belief isn't necessary. -- Lea DeLaria

The Religious Right dislikes both abortions and homosexuality. But who has fewer abortions than gays? -- George Carlin

Two of my favorite quotes relating to homosexuality.
 
The book of Genesis states that God made Eve from Adam's rib.

So they share cells, nuclei, and chromosomes. They're effectively identical twins.

And they're both male; X + Y = guy!

So, the Bible condones gay incest. Yay.

Should have been Adam and Steve, then, shouldn't it?

"gay" is man or woman.

99.99% of the time gay refers to men and lesbians refers to women. (gay used to mean "happy" and nothing to do with sex) Note that the quote doesn't say (which is my point) "... but who has fewer abortions than homosexuals?" because there is no way of comparing how many abortions homosexuals have had.

P.S The first quote is just as dumb as "believe in homosexuality" is not the same as "believe in Easter Bunny". I love ice cream is not the same as I love my wife.

The George Carlin quote is simply pointing out that the religious right which is vehemently opposed to abortions are also opposed to same-sex relationships. When according to common sense the homosexuals of course are having no abortions because they can't breed, so therefore it is interesting that the religious right are not for same-sex relationships more.

The other quote right here "What do you mean, you "Don't believe in homosexuality?" It's not like the Easter Bunny, your belief isn't necessary." -- Lea DeLaria
This quote is just pointing out that your opinion of whether or not if homosexuality is real or pertinent is not necessary for there to be homosexuals. However the Easter Bunny wouldn't exist without your belief, since it is an imaginary character that exists in an ethereal plane. I don't follow how you are negating the quote by saying your love for ice cream is not the same as your love for your wife, it appears to just be a red herring.

homosexuality would included bi-sexual which can breed.

When someone states I don't believe in homosexuality is not referring to it existence but instead doesn't believe it should be promoted,encourage or practice. The same with adultery. I don't believe in adultery means I believe in being faithful to my spouse. Even if I mess up and commit adultery I still don't believe it should be promoted or encouraged.

The whole idea of the Easter Bunny and Mickey Mouse is the fact they are not suppose to exist. The same with Donkey Kong, Zelda and Mario.

The Ukraine is close to banning all forms of what it refers to as homosexual propaganda, which includes (but is not limited to) gay pride marches, films (Brokeback Mountain for example) and even Spongebob is being 'investigated'.

My favorite bit has to be this:

"Here's the issue," says Pastor Reshetinsky, a large-boned man with a slight moustache, tells me. "In a real democracy, my freedom and rights are limited by the freedom of someone else."

In his opinion, freedom of speech for sexual minorities is a violation of what he considers his inalienable right not to have to hear something he finds offensive.

"You can't do everything that you want to do, because there are people who have the exact same rights as you do," he insists.

The pastor goes on to accuse a worldwide conspiracy of Masons, New-Agers, postmodernists and financiers of various nationalities, of imposing ideas that are not "characteristic for Ukraine" on the nation's children.

Which to be blunt show a very messed up concept of what 'rights' actually entail.
