    Even so, it's not a disease because it doesn't undermine your physical or mental health. Gays are born that way, they can't help it. If people want to believe that Gods created us the way we are, then maybe they should start accepting gays because obviously God intended for them to be gay. [/b][/quote]

    Homosexuality was just a mistake God made. Nice.

    There is a reason to believe that most of the worlds pop is straight. It's obvious! It might not be, here in the West, but it pretty much is in the east. People follow their religions, of how to live a life. Female and Males interact to create another generation, after them. There is a minority of gays in this world, not a majority. I know that most religions forbid homosexuality, and give reasons why. I'm not all-religions expert, but if you go and learn about certain religions, they might end up giving you a good reason of why homosexuality is wrong.

    LornVourkolakas, I'm not trying to offend you or anyone [again], and I can understand that gay people have a hard time being accepted, that they give in easily, and just go straight with the world. But why do they think that they have a hard time being accepted? Just because people won't accept them of who they are? Being gay is NOT equal to a race, or culture/religion, but its a CHOICE of sexuality. I do not believe that it has something to do with your brain. Once again, if it was natural, I'm sure I'd know a couple thousand of gays.

    And, Todd. "Why the #### do I care?" I have the right to say, whatever I have to, and you cannot stop me or pursue my beliefs, in any way. >_<

    Haha. If that what your own made-up religion says, then go for it. Most religions do not accept homosexuality, and I know that completely.

    I think we should trivialize sexual preference. Make it seem as unimportant as your favorite color. We are all one of 6 billion people on the planet, the other 5,999,999 people dont give a #### about your favorite color, why should they care about your sexual preference?

    Actually, I don't think it's obvious. You can't tell if someone is gay. It's not like skin color. You can't just look at a person and say "Oh, he's gay.".

    I've heard the reasons to why homosexuality is wrong. Trust me, I have. I don't think them to be good enough reasons.

    I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Again, I'll show you the example of music. Obviously, you like Linkin Park because you are in a Linkin Park forum. (Correct me if I'm wrong) You can't help it that you like Linkin Park's music. You just do. You can try not liking a certain song but end up still liking it. Homosexuality is like that.

    A homosexual can try liking the other gender as hard as they can. But most likely, no matter how hard they try, they still find the same gender attractive.

    So no, I don't think homosexuality is by choice.

    I consider sexual orientation to be equal to race, culture and religion because I consider homosexuality to be something not of choice. And btw, religion is by choice because you can choose what you believe in. You have the choice to believe in God or not.

    Excuse me? I don't follow any religion, so I don't know what you are talking about.

    Heh, about that, I wasn't talking directly to you, I said that if you want to create your own religion, you can add homosexuality. =S -Shrugs-

    Anyway, this will be my last post on this topic. I've given you my open opinion, that isn't going to change. I don't care if you are a homosexual, or not, do whatever with your life, and thanks for sharing your opinions. Just don't try to convince me that homosexuality is fine, it's not, and thats what I think.

    I'm not planning to create my own religion. Screw that. I will be who I want to be. I will be who I was meant to be. I'm not going to change just so people can accept me.

    You have a right to your opinion. You don't accept homosexuality. Fine. I don't care. Life goes on.

    I just thought of something and it makes me wonder, and this is to anyone who's against homosexuality...

    What would you do if your son or daughter came up to you in the future and expressed they were gay? Are you going to disown them because they're not like you? Or would you understand and support them?

    I'd personally have nothing against my child if he/she ended up becoming a homosexual because they're still my family. That goes for anyone in my family or anyone I'm close to.

    So would you or wouldn't you?

    I've seen this answered once, and I find it down-right degrading to the human race. I don't mean to offend Christianity or any religion for that matter, but for what I've seen and heard from the past to even now, I still have no idea how practices of peace are encouraging you to alienate a certain type of person.

    I'd have nothing against them. I would support them all the way. I'm for homosexuals all the way.

    im for homosexuals as well, but not all the way. i think they should be allowed to marry, but not adopt kids... why not have kids? because i think that it would be extremely hard for the kids like in school and all. besides, having a mummy and a mummy or a daddy and a daddy is just against the nature.

    Whats harder for the kids? Being adopted by a gay couple that will love the kid and be able to provide them with what they need (food, clothing, ect) or live in an orphanage where they're dirt poor and being passed around to different families all the time?

    And, having 2 moms or 2 dads isn't any more against nature than a kid with one parent due to divorce, and I know plenty of single parent kids that are completley normal

    im sorry... dont be pissed... its just that... i was thinking like in school people wouldnt accept kids who have gay parents. some would, of course, but some would put them through #### because of their parents. so thats my point.

    I guess that's up to the educational system and what they can come up with, such as programs and subjects. They've helped get rid of racism (in some ways), so they can probably get rid of the homophobia.

    but you still get racists. and you'd still get people prejudiced against gay people... and that wouldnt be fair on the kid. thats what i think though.
     



  16. If being gay is a choice, then why do so many gay teens commit suicide? I mean, if they know homosexuality is so unacceptable, they could turn straight just to fit in, right? After all, it's a choice, like you said. :mellow:

    I think that gay or lesbian people should adopt kids. Like someone said before it would be better for the kids than being very poor and to live in different families. There might be assholes that give the kids s*it, but I hope that gets better. I get filled with rage with I think about racists and prejudice people.

    i think homosexuals are equal to everyone. They should be able to do anything a straight couple is allowed to do. I'm a bisexual and if I got married to a girl I'd want to be able to adopt a child or have my own.

    We actually talked about using the word gay in one of my classes and my teacher said something really smart. She told us "when you're saying gay you're saying it's stupid. So why not instead of saying gay say You're so black or You're so Chinese." And that made everyone in my class really think. But this one dumbass said. " If you use the words enough it loses it's meaning! And if someone really is gay they would just laugh it off." I'm sorry but that's one of the most stupidest things I've ever heard! Words don't just lose their meanings like that. And if someone just came up to me and said that I was gay I wouldn't just laugh. I'd f*cking give them a piece of my mind.

    And in another one of my classes there were so many homophobic people that my teacher couldn't take it anymore since they just threw around the word gay, gay, gay, etc that she actually got an expert on gays to come into out class to talk to us. And all the name calling stopped. Which I'm really glad it did since it started to piss me off.

    So some schools are actually doing stuff on it. Which is great! Since people are afraid of things they don't understand. And hopefully they have a better undering on homosexuals.
