Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?

[NBK*Twitch]

^Assuming it is a preference.. While it is nice to see you standing up for the LGBT community, saying it is a preference is like saying it is a choice.

When it is not.. It is simply who you are.

I know it's not a choice, sorry if you misunderstood my comment. 🙂
You didn't rebuke anything I said, just pointed out an error in my post. Did you really think hard about your comment when you posted?

and people are born with the preferences they have, and this is nearly impossible to convince people about who are against it.

When I said this, I meant they're born with the sexuality they'll have in life, and can't just change their mind about it. THAT'S what I meant, and it's impossible to convince the unsupportive group about this aspect.

I don't know if your born with it, I have known people who have been attractive to the opposite sex and then at a certain age I say 24 for example they change to the same genre. That's the reason why I don't believe in people being born with it and I can if I want to love the same sex but I choose not.

One thing I can agree on there is as far as Hugging and doing other personal stuff with the same genre would never fell right for me no matter what so I guess there might be born with it there.

 

[NocturnDragon]

I believe you mean gender, (genre is a word that defines a class of thing, like in writing, fantasy and science fiction. Gender is another word for a persons sex.) and I feel more confident assuming that your born with the sexuality you have.

While i'm interested in the idea, I really can't imagine going through a metamorphosis of sexuality, no matter the age of a person. I'll have to search this on the internet if there's any other hypothesis about it. (I doubt I'd find any, though. You can't really change your mind about your sexuality, it's something a person is born with.)

If anyone has a rebuttal to this, I'd love to hear it.

That's an awesome article Geoffrey! That's exactly how a lot of the communities I go to feel, it just keeps going in circles until everyone gets tired of hearing the same thing. No one can really come to a mature, reasonable agreement. Some quotes in some debates I've seen, that many ignored:

"No one is making YOU go and get married, we just want to let other people do." I forgot

"Even though I don't believe in religion, I still donate to their churches every year, so that people who do can still practice their beliefs." Iben

"Gay Marriage is now legal in France!" Crookedjaw

I never heard of gay marriages being more successful then straight coupled marriages though, that's interesting.

That is called coming out of the closet and realizing who you are. People do not one day simply wake up and go hey im gay...

You say you could choose to love the same sex... Okay prove it... Right here and now go have sex with someone of the same sex... You won't though.. You know why... Because you are not gay...

@Dragon I am sorry if I upset you,but saying it is a preference is still like saying it is choice. I was not trying to start anything.. It is not a preference or choice. It is who you are. It is your sexual orientation.
That is all I was trying to get across.

Edit: Then again.. If you are Bisexual.. I guess there could be a preference then.

Sexual orientation is not black and white.

Saw this and I felt that it would be worthy of putting it in here. 🙂

 

[Black Angel]

Being gay isn't anymore a choice than being straight.

Love is love.

That said, I proudly, and fully support LBGT rights.

 

[ForumSource]

Tolerate or support?

Dislike or protest?

Choice or natural?

I'd be interested to hear some arguments here 😉

I tolerate homosexuality.
It's a choice.

I have nothing against homosexuality but based on my religious views, it is wrong. That being said, I don't hate gay people and don't look at them any differently unless (which does happen a lot), they're acting very open in public if you know what I mean... almost to let EVERYONE know that they're gay.

And whether it's a choice or not, I believe it is a choice but I know a lot of people strongly disagree with that, including my older brother and I argue with him about it enough so I'm not going to get into it with anybody here. 😛

It to doesn't matter to me what hells name you are, It's plainly not my business, and I can give to 2 less of a crap. But the bible says "A man shall not lay with another man" , not my decision what people do or don't. Just because the bible says one thing doesn't mean it's wrong.

 

[Cat]

As a homosexual, I'd say that makes my stance pretty clear. I don't think sexuality should define people, nor should it colour your opinion of people. It seems far more acceptable to be against homosexuals than it is to be against say, black people. Despite the fact both homophobia and racism are horrible things, I think people are far more likely to be homophobic than racist.

 

[Gizmo]

I am usually against labels. I like both males and both females and don't care what people think. Honestly isn't it better to have happy people in this world instead of having people commit suicide and/or do other things because of what people think?

The way I see it is the people who insult and/or otherwise do other things have not had a good life themselves.

By that logic, then, you should be sure to hide your spouse at home when you get married (if you're not already). You wouldn't want to be openly straight and shove your straightness down everyone's throat.

I kind of get the point he's making. I do feel that the people who emulate the "typical gay" from TV are a bit annoying. You know, the high-pitched voice, the bright clothes, the limp-wristed "OOH LOOK AT ME HONEY I'M GAY!" That does bug me to an extent, because it sometimes seems like it makes a mockery of things.

Similar to if you saw a guy in a vest walking through the street with a set of dumbells going "LOOK AT ME I'M SO STRAIGHT DAMN GIRL YOUR ASS IS FINE" it'd be quite annoying.

People will always be annoying ether gay or straight hehe thats my opinion. As long as you act as a human being and are not pushing your way into my face (Doesnt matter religion or sex preferences) i will hang out with you. But if you start acting as a stupid person i will cut you...like honestly what did a gay guy or girl did to you (us) so we cant live together in harmony...well i dont support the gay pride parade because it stands for that that homosexuals are special in some way so but anything else i dont have against.

 

[TheDon90]

Does I t really matter

 

[MrC]

I personally don't agree with it, but I don't really have anything against homosexuals. We all have the right to love who we want, what goes on behind close doors is none our business.

 

[Eliss]

I think that each and everyone of us is free to do whatever he wants with his body , no matter what other people say . If sleeping or marrying a person of the same genre makes you happy, it's absolutely natural that you do it. It's your life, and homosexuals should not pay attention to what others say
