in todays society people are so judgemental...so how does this affect bussiness? ???
-
not really sure what you're asking? do you mean would businesses want gays working for them? :dontknow: i guess it would depend on the individual person. homosexuals tend to be less frowned on than in the past, but there are still way too many closed minded people out there.
-
I believe up until the sixties you could be arrested for being homosexual.I've seen that from news clips in san fran.Today most but not all except gays and i believe some businesses might do better .
-
I know, it's like come on they are just like you and me who cares!
-
I don't happen to believe in it, but will not hold it againt a person as i have a gay stepson. Of course he is mad at us right now because we won't support him and his life style with money. It is life and his choice. so he can work and pay his own bills. I have worked with a lot of gay men and women, learned early on you don't say much.Just do your job and we will get along.

Gays are people too. They have feelings and thoughts. Just because they choose a different lifestyle does not mean there is a big difference. Treat others like you wanna be treated. With respect and kindness.
-
I think they view them a little bit better then they use to. It depends on what part of the country or world you are in.

I have some gay friends but I don't believe in Gay Marriage. I think the world sees gays in a positive light now especially in the US. I think gay marriage could be the future for all 50 states in America. This is not from a disgruntled conservative but it is just the way society is going. It is like what was wrong 50 years ago is made right today. We are redefining morality. It is an interesting debate.

:icon_rr: What? Is there an exhibit?

^ LOL.
i don't care what you do in your bedroom (or...wherever).
i don't care who brings you happiness.
i don't care who you want to marry.
and frankly, i've always been a little curious as to why others do?
society is progressing but you don't have to accept it.
you can keep living in your bubble where everyone should be like you.

I don't know for sure....

It's not just gays who are being judged. We all are.. fat people, skinny people, 'poor people', people who receive assistance, and the list goes on. Those people who think they are better than the rest of us will one day reap what they sow. We are to love one another, no matter what.

I really do not know!

Just this topic bothers me. It feels like the community of LGBT has grown so much but at the same time is still so far behind. To be talking about this makes me feel like we as a society will never move away from this. Something so non important, it's really quit sad. Every where we turn when there is a minority of any kind they are always judged. We as adults should be wiser and be able to set a good example for our children. It doesn't matter lesbian, caucasian, shorter, skinnier, wheel chair bound, etc...we are all part of this earth and should be able to live civilized. This is exactly why there are so many shootings in schools and bullies on the playground. Children hear and see their elders complain and put down a minority and they copy and take out their anger in any way they know how. Many young adults and kids killing themselves because they feel they are in a minority of some kind and they can't take that rejection. We as the ones to look up to really could be doing a better job. (not that a large part isn't connected at times to t.v., movies and video games though). This is a really hot topic for me, sorry if I rambled but every one is allowed an opinion.

My only issue is gay marriages. That seems totally wrong to me. Plus what is wrong with just living together as friends unless there is financial advantage or other equally logical reason.
-
I don't think I even understand the original question. I'll take a stab in the dark and say: "as people."
-

No, id hope any intelligent human in the world would "see" the gays as HUMANS, because they are??

CLOUDSOUP GAVE THE PERFECT ANSWER

I'm going to be honest here, years and years ago when I was growing up, it was really never heard of, and then when I became a teenager, into young manhood.. I kinda made fun of it, and joked around like everyone else.. Then I met a very special Lady who already had 2 kids.. Well one came out of the closet, and told us he was gay.. Learning more about it.. I understand it.. It all comes down to it, when we are naked, and have nothing, we are all made the exact same.. what we like, what we do, what we eat, what we drink.. it's all preferance.. But all in all.. we are all the same.. :thumbsup:

Society is changing so rapidly. What my parents taught me is the total opposite of what I will be teaching my kids. I have bi-racial children and I believe that a person is a person is a person. Their personality should be what they are judged by.

Well, how does the world see anything else for that matter? Like white people, black people, Native American people; people with tattoos or piercings, people who might wear jewelry familiar with a particular religion, on and on. I don't believe any business should overlook anyone if the person is qualified for the job. If you're talking about racism or a place of business being perceived as unfair, it's a fact of life. No business has to hire you if you don't fit the criteria they're looking for. Some businesses have a certain image they project, and hiring someone who doesn't fit that image would be counter-productive.

It is becoming pretty normal. But we will always have those who can't accept it like anything else. We better get used to it and try to see it as what really is. It's someone's way of life.We may agree with it or not but we should accept it as normal because it was always there anyways.Love is love and is nobody's business to judge it. :heart:

:(I think they should let boy scouts of every age and background and sexual orientation join. They had a thing about this on the news anyway the president of boyscouts seems to not agree well if the girlscouts are open to everyone I think the boyscouts should be too. Just my opinion, besides that do young boys already know if they are gay or not and if they are who cares its not fair to judge others this way especially in this day and age. Its not the 1950's anymore this is the year 2013.

I have some gay friends
Ummmm, no. you don't. You THINK you have gay friends. You wouldn't want to deny the marriage of a REAL friend.
but I don't believe in Gay Marriage. I think the world sees gays in a positive light now especially in the US. I think gay marriage could be the future for all 50 states in America. This is not from a disgruntled conservative but it is just the way society is going. It is like what was wrong 50 years ago is made right today. We are redefining morality.

Just sad that you feel this is acceptable
-

Because they want to celebrate their love and commitment. You know, like any two people?
Why does it seem wrong to you? Without misquoting the Bible.

They are as human as you or I. They deserve to be treated better. The fact is, gays have gotten a bad rap. I have a nephew who is gay, and that is because he was molested by one of his mother's male friends from the age of 5 until he was 7. His molester died in prison. I have a cousin who is gay, who was molested by her babysitter when she was 7. I have a niece who is gay. She acts more like a man than she does a woman, but she has the female parts to show it. I treat them as they should have been treated because they are people, not because the word "gay" has been attached to their lives. 8) :thumbsup:

I hope to not offend you but I am offended at how you wrote that your nephew and cousin are gay because they were molested. Just as straight people are straight it is the same for those who prefer the same sex. It is not because they were raised a certain, molested, had two of the same sex parents or were dressed as the opposite sex growing up. We are all built the same with one blood, we don't chose our color skin as we don't chose who we love and how we feel. Just my opinion, not wanting to start anything. I loved how you ended you phrase :thumbsup:

Well, heres the problem I have....Im not allowed to have my own opinions, its not a free country, because I am only able to agree with what liberal people say. Companies aren't having choices if they feel that it is right or wrong because they have to provide insurance to both is a classic example of how its not a free country. And, the reason why we talk about it now in reference to some of the comments is because it was kept in the closet until the last decade or so. People had morals back then and knew that is was wrong so it was hidden. Now people are blatant!! I find it disgusting, morally wrong. I don't want to have to support it. And if i truly lived in a FREE country, people wouldn't be mad and upset by this post. However, I would never treat a person bad because of their choices, I wouldn't preach at them, but I certainly would tell them if they wanted to know.
-
I say, if that is what the person chooses then so be it. At the end of they day, its their life and will have to answer for that. We are not hear to judge a person but to treat people like we would want to be treated. How do we expect to be respected when we don't respect anyone else. They are human too. Move on from that. I personally don't agree with it but hey who am I to judge how they feel. I have a few gay friends and they are happier and fun to be around.
-
i could care less what people prefer. i have a couple gay or lesbian friends and as long as i feel comfortable around them im ok with anything they do
-
^ LOL.
i don't care what you do in your bedroom (or...wherever).
i don't care who brings you happiness.

My thoughts exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you speaking of homsexuals or gay as being, "happy?" God is against homosexuality, but its not my place to judge. This girl and I where talking at the end of our night classes for college. She is a lesbian, but shes very nice. I do not agree with what she is doing, but I like her anyway. I am to warn people about what the Bible says. People have to make their own personal decisions. As long as we inform them we have done what we should be doing. Its not best to just keep pushing homosexuals because it will probably make them think we are being judgemental or lording over them. I need to show them that I honestly care for them and thats what I try to do everyday and night. If it where not for the Lord Jesus Christ I would have never made it to heaven. That means I am no better than anyone else on my own merits.
-
It's not fair to ask how the "world see's gays" because everyone has their own point of view. I am part of the world and I see people who are gay the same way I see everyone else.
People have their own sexual orientation the same way that people have their own blood type. There's no reason to be judgmental or narrow minded.
:heart:

Well let's just put it this way I am a Lesbian. Always have been always will he and this is no different then when they discriminated against women or black. Now the discrimination is towards gays. Perhaps you should look back in history but before you do that look up the word discrimimate in the dictionary. Funny how society always finds some group of people to discriminate against....just move from one group to another...they should ask themselves what if what they do in their bedrooom is so Godly before looking into someone else's. Take the black discrimination issue for example, it ain't be to many more generations before everyone is a sand color. So what then women can vote, threes no racial discrimination and we have moved passed discriminating gays, then what, you start to discriminate the color of a dog or cat? Sounds rediculous does it, no think about it, its already started with pit bulls. Oh and I have a pit and I'm a Lesbian so does that now make me the ultimate out cast? What gets me most is the ones we fought the biggest civil movements over in the past forget what us Gay and Lesbian soldiers did in the name of their civil rights and are all to often the ones asking such prejudice questions!
-
Since I'm a lesbian let me ask you a question as stupid as this one. How do gays and lesbians see heterosexuals? Kinda puts the ignorance of this question in perspective doesn't it? Oh, we see everyone the same.

Where does the Bible actually say homosexuality is wrong? Also, does it devote more or less ink into saying polyester is wrong?
