okay I'm gay who else is gay and is there a problem with it

[smileycoop]

Not gay but I don't care.

[Graeth]

I also dont see why people have such a problem with it.
I just believe the people against it are unhappy in their own lives with their partners and are just out to ruin happiness for everyone else.

I don't think people that are gay or bi can help it. They are born this way. I have no issues with it.

Sorry, but people are not born gay. People are born in the image and likeness of God as either male or female with that sexuality within their makeup.. It is a choice they make as to what sexual preference they want to keep or change. I don't have a problem with gay people (as people in general go) I just don't agree with the lifestyle they practice.

I also believe in a person's choice to do with their lives as they want, as long as it doesn't hurt someone else. I am also a Catholic and believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. That being said, it was still written and edited by humans who in themselves are fallible, so I tend to read it in a more scholarly way than just the face value of the KJV. I am more like Falconer in that I look at who (or which group) a particular verse or book was written by, who it was written for, what the historical context of the script was, etc. The earlier books of the Bible (Leviticus and Deuteronomy) were written by the Jewish leaders stating their laws and stories from an even older oral tradition. Looking at it from that light, some of the laws make sense in that context but are foreign in today's world. For example, the Jewish food laws (which are another section of the Bible that fundamentalists conveniently ignore) probably have to do with helping this early society prevent many of the food-borne allergens and diseases that would have been prevalent before today's sanitation and storage technologies. If those food laws were written today, we may also include some "contamination" protocols, but for different reasons; people with Crohn's Disease or other gluten sensitivity can testify how important it is to use different utensils, dishes, etc. when preparing gluten-free foods.

Likewise, there are probably some very valid reasons for the early laws regarding sexual morals. Promiscuity, prostitution, and adultery (and later polygamy) were prohibited to cut down on pregnancies outside of marriage (or in the case of polygamy, over-breeding in marriages); something of greater import back then when society was ill-prepared to help / handle the extra economic burden that that would entail. Inter-species mating would be banned because of birth defects that would cause if the pregnancy even took. Also, by making any form of sex outside of the purpose of procreation as wrong (eg promiscuity, prostitution, fornication, and even homosexuality albeit to a lesser extent being more dependent on the promiscuity of the relationship rather than the type of sex performed) would lessen the spread of sexual diseases. Some of the societal ills that these laws helped prevent back then could be valid in today's world were these laws enforced, although today's world can better handle these problems when they occur, and at least in America, we tend to value personal freedom and individual responsibility more than the imposition of these laws.

Sorry, but people are not born gay.

As far as I know, there is inconclusive evidence of this so you may not be right.

People are born in the image and likeness of God as either male or female with that sexuality within their makeup

Explain hermaphrodites.

It is a choice they make as to what sexual preference they want to keep or change.

Wrong. It's not a choice. If you knew any homosexuals, you would know this.

I don't have a problem with gay people (as people in general go) I just don't agree with the lifestyle they practice.

This statement contradicts itself.

I am not a judge, but I read and study the Bible, I think this is something you need to go to God and talk to about, this is not anyone elses call, this is between you and God, no one can tell you what to do, God gives us freedom to choose, what choice you make, you will decide, and if you ask God, what to do, you will get your answer. God never leaves us or forsakes us.

I am not gay..But no matter I think equal rights for marriage and children for all couples gay or straight..My daughters god father is gay and if anything happened to me or hubby he would make a awesome loving parent..You cannot help who you love..And if you are a loving person or couple you should be able to give a child a loving safe home..I am sorry some people are so unkind and closed minded on this subject..I think it beautiful to see any human loving another regardless of sex!!

Okay on that note perhaps I should shed some light I would have never chosen to gay do you understand the headache and the fights that I've gotten into just because of something that I never wanted to be but its what I am if I had a choice I would have chosen straight middle school was horrible, high school was worse, and life is looking dim so for you or anyone to say that I chose this lifestyle is totally incorrect!!! Would anyone chose to be something that many people hated???

[cynybiny68]

I am not gay or lesbian, but I don't think that there is anything wrong with it.  It depends on each person's own choices and who they are when they are born.

[cakestripe]

I might be bi, but I don't know where to start to find out if I actually am.

[Storm61115]

[kqa]

I'm not, but I certainly have no problem with it.  I like to take care of my own backyard instead of judging other people.  I don't get why people do that!

[klkwid]

I'm not gay and I don't really care if you are or not.  I'm not going to go around posting topics saying "ok I'm straight-who else is straight and is there a problem with it"!!  Do you have a problem with straight people???
