They are not murderers/pedo/alcoolic: they fall in LOVE with the same sex, that's all! For everythings left they are just like you and me. Why can't people just get that? What are they afraid of?
Nobody said that homosexuals were the same as pedophiles, murderers, hetero, or anything at all.
The question was put forth; Is it a choice-and some people asked if other things were a choice. Nobody is comparing being a homosexual to anything whatsoever.. only if there were a choice in other matters.
Those taking it out of context are either misunderstanding or searching to troll.

Anyway my point stands... Atheists are much more anti-gay than Christians. Perhaps not here because you all have an image to uphold, but n the real world that's exactly how it is.
Im agnostic but I was brought up in a Christian environment and I can tell you that I see more negativity from the religious side than the non religious in regards to this topic. When was the last time you heard of owners who are atheists banning gays from their hotels(B&b) ? Im sure everyone is aware of the Christian couple who were in the news not long ago who did just that .. Sure could just be a minority but in my experiance I see It more with people who follow religion than who don't

It should not be seen by our young, In fact I see it as a perversion, and people who promote it to anyone under the age of 18 should be charged with pedophilia.

I've said before I believe a person can make the "choice" of their sexuality subconsciously and then consciously accept that and act upon it. Still makes it a choice.

People use the 'logic' arguments (like in: you wear a strip tshirt, eat veg, so you must be a zebra), to tie homosexuality with crimes or grave misconduct to then be able to make it look bad/sin. Enough please and ACCEPT the difference.

If you don''t teach kids they will grow up as intolerant as some here.
Kids can handle it very well and don't give a toss really

I'm atheist.
You base your opinion on what?
That wasn't an opinion, it was a personal observation by someone who still lives in the real world.

I understand this thought process, however I'm not sure If you and I are really giving mutual consideration to the ideas being presented. You are saying that a conscious choice and a unconscious decision are exactly the same thing, however I thought I had clearly made a point to say that they are very different processes.
