Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?

[Deleted member 1609]

However, I'm not for them adopting a child. Not good for the child.

You're right. Gay people shouldn't be allowed to adopt children because they might get bullied.

Also, children with only one parent should be relocated to other households because other children might call them bastards. This might affect their well being.

Children whose parents have disabilities should also be relocated. They might get bullied because of their parents' disabilities!

Children who have poor parents should also be relocated. They might get bullied because they don't have nice clothes and shoes!

See where I'm going with this?

I'm on the fence with the adoption thing to be honest, but the points you just made are not valid because in all of those situations, the child has been born naturally to those parents, thats the main difference.

You're saying, in other words, that people with any quality that could cause their children to be bullied shouldn't be allowed to adopt? That sure sounds like what you're saying. 😉

That being said, I believe that my points are perfectly valid.

To add on to Snobo's point, I have to also ask how you feel about drug dealers, alcoholics, addicts, and abusive individuals being parents? You think it would be better for a child to be raised by parents who could potentially cause them danger instead of having them raised by a homosexual couple that could potentially provide them with a much better life? Yes, the child is born naturally to those parents, but that does NOT make them GOOD parents.

Also, because people seem to think that homosexual couples cannot be good parents, do a little bit of research. A majority of studies have found that those adopted and raised by a homosexual (either gay or lesbian) couple studies find that the children from same-sex adoptions were as well-adjusted as those from heterosexual adoptions. If you don't believe me, here are just a couple of articles that I found with a quick academic search:

Adoption of Minor Children by Lesbian and Gay Adults: A Social Science Perspective
Parenting and Child Development in Adoptive Families: Does Parental Sexual Orientation Matter?

If you have access to an academic database such as EBSCO, ProQuest or JSTORE or if you would just like a few more to read over, then feel free to let me know and I would be more than happy to point you in the direction of more studies. 🙂

As long as no one is "forcing homosexuality" on me and my family, I have absolutely no issue with others who are homosexual. I have several friends who are homosexual, but I believe homosexuality is wrong (because of my religion). However, I don't judge others who are homosexual.

 

[Veil Burns Red]

I don't have a problem with it. If you like someone then that's just how it is, even if its the same sex I don't care. Plus all the ones I've known don't try forcing it on you.

No freedom till we're all equal, damn right I support it.

 

[jnugget]

Who cares seriously? Its just another typical stereotype

"18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. (Leviticus 18:22 NIV)[2]
20:13 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. (Leviticus 20:13 NIV)"

Could it be anymore clearer than that?

Christianity has no place in law.

Why must one suffer death based on what they prefer in a partner? Each religion preaches 'love', yet when they're faced with love they condone death to stop it.

Its always the religious people that condemn it. News Flash its not the dark ages any more :/

 

[Taz]

Even so, that lifestyle leads to many diseases such as HIV and other STDS. Its more common in homosexuals than anybody else. Its not even logical. Females have a v**** and males have a p**** for a reason.

Well if it's not logical for someone to love another person of the same sex, then why do those feelings even exist? And please, don't even bring up the Adamic sin. Homosexuality exists in animals, and animals have not suffered the "downfall from perfection" as creationists describe it.

 

[Taz]

So you are an animal? So if animals somehow started to kill themselves, you would follow?

My point was that animals are in the same state that God created them in, if you choose to believe in that. Which means, by simple logic, that God created homosexuality.

Also, as I asked above, if it's not logical for someone to love another person of the same sex, then why do those feelings even exist?

 

[Taz]

God did not create homosexuality, he created the potential for it. If he didn't then he wouldn't be a fair God.

 

[Eternal]

God did not create homosexuality, he created the potential for it. If he didn't then he wouldn't be a fair God.

So he is trying to be fair, yet you as a person criticize homosexuals. If you are following god, you should try to be more fair like he is. May I ask this ... why do you have such a problem with homosexuals? (Sorry if this was answered somewhere else). They don't affect your life at all, and if it makes them happy why can't you just let it be?

 

[pandaa]

Out of curiosity, do you believe in hellfire?

I just have a tough time believing that a loving God would create a potential for something he hates, and then send those people to a lifetime of punishment in hell (or death) for living out the life that he gave to them.

Another question for you, if homosexuality is a choice (which I'm betting you will bring up next), does that mean that you could stop loving women? Love is an intense, strong emotion, that no one really understands, so to say that it is a whimsical choice really implies that anyone could choose to be gay at any time, including yourself.

 

[Taz]

Homosexuality is not a choice, it is a possession of devil spirits that control the human mind making them act as people call "gay".

 

[pandaa]

Oh? How do you know that you won't be possessed? It could happen to any of us, then.

Can you explain bisexuality for me then?
