I'm not against gays, I'm against homosexuality. There is a difference. I see it as a mental or genetic disorder that requires a cure. I don't hate you for being gay, nor do I hate the kid around the corner with muscular distrophy. But if we're willing to donate millions of dollars a year to helping Jerry's Kids, then what is so wrong with wanting to do the same for homosexuals?
what is the difference? sorry mate but i am not a genetic disorder that you can donate money to 'Fix me'
Gay, straight, Homosexual Heterosexual, we are all Human,

I have said this before and will say it again.
And that is. The only place you see homosexuality is
in the animal kingdom.Point blank period.
If you don't like well, that is just to damn bad.

I agree, but I don't on suicide part of it..If your a coward to do that I have no respect at all. Times has been hard on me as a kid and as a teenager, but I'm still here standing
That left aside, I have no problems with gay people, some are actually pretty cool people to chill with. I have a friend who is gay and you wouldn't even notice it from him.. Now, I do have a problem with those guys that actually do act like a F@g.. talk with a weird lisp, like making them selves look like a loser haha yes, I got a problem with them..They sound full of them selves..and seriously why do most gay people have that "lisp" no way it comes naturally..
I like the people who are them selves, don't 'act' gay. They're some cool people out there, a lot of them very smart.
As I said, I got no problem with those kind of people. I think the reason why people "hate" gay people is they go overboard with their 'lisp' and act like a totall f@g (no pun intended) and act all stuck up and stuff..edit on 31-5-2013 by live2beknown because: (no reason given)

Homosexuality is wrong. I don't hate you for your choices, nor will I exclude you from humanity. I wouldnt treat you any different than anyone else. No one is perfect. But you should be honest with yourself and admit homosexuality is wrong. Work on it even if doing so is futile. Or dont work on it. Delight in doing the wrong thing. But at least be honest. No one should have to accept the choice, only the chooser.

All I ask is that people take responsibility for the choices they make. Don't smoke 2 packs a day and expect me to pay for your lung cancer treatment: that crap is on you, brother. Drink a 5th of vodka for breakfast? Don't even ask to get on the liver transplant list. Eat at Golden Corral 5 nights a week? Good luck with the heart attack.
You bought it, you own it.
As long as you don't infringe upon my rights, you can run around in a carmel covered tutu singing show tunes until midnight for all I care. Knock yourself out. Freedom is freedom to choose. As long as it doesn't harm anyone, go crazy.
Oh and I'm white. Christian. Middle aged. Vote republican. Own guns. Like football. Drink beer. Stereotype as you see fit. That's your right, too. I wasn't placed here to judge anyone. I was placed here to take the best care of those within my sphere of influence that I can; and make their lives as rewarding and full as possible.
I wore a uniform for some years, and took an oath several times to protect. I may think what you're doing is stupid, but I'll kit up and hold the line to make sure you have the freedom to be as stupid as you want.
You're welcome.edit on 31-5-2013 by tangonine because: (no reason given)

I've already explained the difference. You are not a genetic disorder, your lust for people of the same gender is. You may be comfortable with your homosexuality, but there are many who are not. We shouldn't deprive them of research that will lead to a cure simply because you're cool with being gay.

A school friend of mine took his life beccause he was gay. (R.I.P Phillip, I will always keep up the fight for equality in memory of you) I have known too many other gay people senselessly die through suicide as well.
numbers than we should be.

There is nothing wrong with gay people.
They should be treated equally.
Doesn't meant they should be allowed to marry.
That has nothing to do with equality. Its about preservation of a species and making sure children get exposed to both genders while being raised. THAT is equality.
Oh, really?
Gay and suicide have no significant statistical connection.
Suicide Among Homosexuals
Lesbians are two times more likely to attempt suicide than straight women.
Attempts by gay and lesbian youth account for up to 30% of all completed suicides.
Gay teens are 3 times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers.
Gay youth are 4 times more likely to make a suicide attempt requiring medical attention.
Gay men are six times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers.
