Kacen, well, it is a political issue as well. However, I am not going there. Do I think that gays should be allowed to get married? Uh, my understanding is that marriage is the union between a MAN and a WOMAN, not a man and man or a woman and woman. So, no, I don't think gay marriage should be legal.

So gays can't have the same opportunities as straight people because marriage may only exist between a man and a woman.Can gays choose to be gay? No. Are people being prejudiced against them because they're a minority? Yes.
Human nature is very xenophobic, but people have to be open-minded and mature to be able to accept people for who they are. Yes, that sounds totally corny, but I think it's appropriate.
I guess America just hasn't grown to that maturity quite yet.

why would God make them homosexual? Make them like that, then expect them to overcome it?

how often you have homosexual and heterosexual acts shoved in your face?
Homosexuality is not a choice, and I can state that absolutely because of this. If you think that it is a choice, it means that you yourself find sexual stimulation in both genders. A womans vagina gives you the same excitement as a man's penis. That is the only way you can believe that. It means that at one point in your life, YOU decided to stick to one or the other. How's them apples? You ready to admit that? Didn't think so.
I myself only find that stimulation in the opposite sex. That is also how I know homesexuality is not a choice. I don't have that choice to make.
Now this doesn't include bisexuality. I've heard Elton John say that to be bisexual, is to deny one's homosexuality, or something similiar to that - but I had numerous friends once upon a time, that explained to me, that although they were able to be stimulated by both sexes, sexually, they were only able to 'love' the same sex. It was actually a big joke in this circle of friends, and the strictly homosexual of the bunch, would always poke fun at them. It was quite funny at times.
So stop worrying that a person can be taught to be gay. With the stigma that homesexuality carries with it in this society, who in their right mind would CHOOSE to be gay if they weren't? Get it?

I have only seen straight people trying to force their sexuality onto gays, and never seen a gay person try to convince someone to become gay.
Have you?

You have voted Paresthesia for the Way Above Top Secret award. You have one more vote left for this month.

Yes I have.
I have come across a few very agressive gay people. They start the conversation polite enough then question why I am being so nice to them.
I reply that I am ok with gay people so long as they do not try and convince me to join them. Some gay people get it straight away and do not persue the topic any further, but a few them somehow see it as their mission to "convert" me no matter the cost.
I spent lots of time trying to fend off their attempts to convert me, who try inviting me to their parties and showing up at my house asking for a date out with me.
I repeatedly tell them that I am straight and have no interest in homosexual experiences, inwhich they will say that I should at least give it one go......with them...... :bnghd:
I have friends who see it as their goal to "convert' homosexual people into heterosexual people as well. I usually reply:
"Who are you to know what is best for others?"
"Tolerance only last so long, to understand, means never having to tolerate it at all."
Hence, I try my best to understand other people as much as I can. People of all sexual orientations.

I'm sick and tired of homosexual people. Keep it to yourself. Stop trying to get special treatment. If you want that lifestyle, then go live it. Stop forcing it in front of my kids. This politically correct world has accepted it. Much to it's moral degredation. How do we reproduce, if men are sleeping with men, and women with women. Believe it or not, part of being human is the insurance of a future race by reproduction.
Don't let homosexual thoughts through loneliness turn you into a homosexual. It's not what your doing to yourself, it's what your doing to the rest of us. Forcing us to accept it. Have I forced God on you?

Being negative towards the topic of gays doesnt make you a bad person and I think that msg should really be put out there.
