How can someone convince you homosexuals are legitimate
In the eyes of god when your instruction manual tells you they are not.

I have gay friends that are single and I have gay friends that are married
And you can see they love each other deeply.

A lesbian friend of mine adopted 2 children to look after them with her wife.
The children used to be beaten and left for days on end by their drug addict parents.

Is that wrong in the eyes of your god ?

I assume everyone here could choose to be gay, right? I mean, if its a choice then it should be easy. Like choosing to buy skittles instead of m&ms.

Food for thought. Why would anyone chose to be gay knowing that society people in society rather could potentially kill them for being gay. Make sense of that.

Quite. I know what I'd have prefered.

All I can say, is that I have never made a conscious decision to fancy blokes. I've tried to fancy women, but I'm just not wired up to do so. Nothing happened in my childhood to tweak me in this way. I'm lucky enough to have had a very nice childhood. I was never a sporty kid, would prefer to just play with some toys and get lost in imagination land.

This is not a choice I made to feel the way I feel. And attraction isn't a switch which you can just turn on or off, it just is.

My personal little theory is it's just natures way of keeping the population from exploding too much. Imagine if everyone on the planet paired up and had 2.5 kids, we'd be even more screwed than we are now. (puntastic!)

Thank you for this post. Some people don't understand that we aren't much different than typical straight people. Trying to figure out why someone is gay implies that it could be cured, or even should be. I'm not gay from a curse, I'm not gay from a choice. At least no more or less than a person is straight by choice.

That makes no sense at all. I made no implications. If I asked why the sky was blue, does that automatically mean I wish to make it green by curing it's "blueness"?

Seriously..

dextrous preference is wired in the brain at birth,

so is innate sexual preference (to blossom by puberty)

its sad who we are attracted is determined by whats between their shoulders and legs and whats not,

instead of solely whats between their ears and deep in their heart!

it's even more sad 9/10 prefer the opposite sex with ginormous human carbon footprint & population explosion.

too bad the ratios don't lean more toward the middle, then we wouldnt overpopulate ourselves into anywhere as much crowding, violence, pollution, disease, endless wars, famine.

That's like saying it's okay to get an abortion because the child would have grown up in an abusive family, a poor family, or whatever. Fix the problem at it's core! Don't try to mask it with things like overpopulation. Violence, pollution, endless wars, famine could all be solved if people actually felt CONVICTION for what they were doing. For me, I got conviction through Jesus, and actually attempt to stop myself from causing harm to others. And crowding? Not nearly. The entire world's population could fit in Texas. Not like sardines either, but a nice quaint little home.

Sorry folks, I must get some sleep. Exhausted. I enjoyed this discussion though, from those who actually contributed something, at least.

God bless all of you guys. Goodnight

Answer these questions or ideas first - were you born straight? Was being straight something you acquired along the way!

If you like fellatio, cunnilingus or back door entry (male or female) did you choose to like it or were you just born that way?

Most people don't have sex to ONLY make babies. Most people have sex because it feels good, it is fun and relaxing for both partners or even for multiple partners. Sexual release has the effect of making both males and females less aggressive! This is true even for LGBT.

I know many females who won't do missionary because they refuse to get pregnant. Having or not having children is a personal choice we all make.

Many men I know will not bow to the almighty female sex organ whether it is for religious or otherwise reasons.

Many people simply refuse to play the games everyone else plays because society says or conditions us to acquiesce to certain identified roles or rules.

Many Lesbians simply refuse the paternal paradigm over the maternal because paternal and fraternal orders discount the worth of females and consider them sperm catchers rather than people. The paternal also discounts that any woman can have more brains than a man.

The paternal view discounts that a man can be worthy without a female or children.

Women can do everything a man can do plus one - have a baby!

So, in many ways one is born to like certain things or not; like art, music, food, weather conditions, job types, status with or without family, status with or without social approval, books, bananas, spicy condiments, love or fear of animals and insects, (the only good spider in my house is a dead one), and the list goes on forever.

When I meet someone who makes me feel like a giddy-in-love kid again - whether male or female - I follow along to see if this person means as much as or more to me than my mother. If I can trust them to be honest with me and to look out for me as much as I will them. If their looks and methods of living are attractive too me - I follow them. If they make me feel good and worthy - I would try my best to make them feel the same.

Self-respect and self-diginity are more valuable than money.

No-one has the right to make me justify myself to them - period! I learned this aspect from a disabled person who refused to tell people anything about why she did things the way she did unless she wanted to tell them.

For me, there came a time when I and my God were at odds with each other. I couldn't go on lying and believing in Great Spirit. So I quit lying about myself even to myself - picked myself up by my bootstraps, stood tall and walked with my head held high and pride in my heart knowing that my God and I were at one together. Great Spirit made me the way that I am and I must have pride that God did this for me because God loves me.

It was also at that time that I had certain visions about life and spirituality that confirmed I was on the Good Red Blood Path where 'I' needed to be. My visions might not apply to you. Your path to your God is defined by you and your God.

Good luck in finding peace and love on the path you are on!
