I know there was a topic about this a long time ago, but I figured I'd bring it back up again.


As far as Homosexual people, I dont have anything against them. I dont believe being is a choice as I have heard some people say. On the other hand, doing things that prove you are gay (like marriage, kissing, etc) is a choice.

And as for Gay Marriage, I'm apathetic over this issue. Honestly, if the gay people actually get married, I wouldn't be like "OMFG SICK!" but instead I would just feel concerned for them, because people are going to point fingers at them and say "OMFG. THEY'RE GAYS!" and make fun of them.

Yea, nobody likes seeing a man making out with a man, but i'm sure tons of people like woman making out with woman.


IMO it's gross, but if they want to get married, well they can do w/e they want at their own risk.

Some of the coolest people I know are homosexual. That doesn't make them want to have sex with me. It's only a preference.

Of course, in the end, they'd do that for the same reason homosexual marriage isn't allowed in the first place... *sigh*

Ever hear of "yaoi"? It's manga focused on the relationships of homosexuals, usualy males, and most of its readers are female. Think about that. (Some males like the idea of lesbians but not homosexual males, some females like something about the idea of homosexual males but not lesbians...)

Anyways...
I feel that saying "gays are bad" or "homosexual marriage is bad" is like saying "blacks are bad" or "interracial/black marriage is bad".

Where the hell do you live? Nazi land? Oh right, America. It's not like you're going to hurt a homosexuals feelings by calling him or her a cigarette... They'll just think "Yeah dip****, I **** (wo)men". The people 'making fun' of homosexuals are generally losers anyway.

You're trying to pull a double standard with "I only like to see heterosexuals and lesbians kissing", grow up. If you think people should keep stuff like this private, then it applys to everyone. Tough **** if you think it's gross, I'm sure a lot of people think some teenager eating his girlfriend's face on the bus is nasty too. If you want to have any argument at all, it can't be based on gender, you'd have to say I don't want anyone making out in public.

I don't have a problem with it. I don't want to see people having sex in public, and the law goes my way. Because honestly, as disgusting as two guys having sex in public would be to a heterosexual male, it would be just as disgusting to see two greasy fat heterosexuals having sex in public. Not everyone is going to be attractive to you, not everyone is going to agree on what's attractive. Thus any law based on this would upset one party for being unfair.

I'm heterosexual, FYI.

One thing that's kind of annoying, is that people still use gay as a negetive adjective... I have friends guilty of this, and from hanging out with them it used to slip out of my mouth once in awhile too (but I like to think I meant perky as apposed to homosexual). The thing is it's just wrong.

I wouldn't really want to associate with gay people, but if they want to be strange, that's their right. Marriage today is not a contract of love, it's a legeal status. Who cares who it's between?

I'm a fäg!

Edit: (Orignally I was just gonna leave it at that.. haha, but I guess I will elaborate)

There is a large percentage of the population that will believe that gay people choose to be gay and that is unfortunate .. however I cannot change that fact nor do I really care swaying their opinion about it.

What is actually funny is before I knew I was gay myself.. one of my friends came up to me one day and told me he was gay. I told him or it would probably be wierd between us and he chose not to talk to me anymore. Which is respectable to tell your friends such a thing because it's a hard thing to do. Anyways the irony being that only a few years later did I really come to accept the fact I too was gay.. which caused me to regret the way I acted towards this friend.

So a gay person telling off their gay friend .. If straight people can choose to be open minded about this issue I really respect them for it.

That being said, I still do not accept the gay culture myself.. which will really only cause unhappiness as long as resent who I am. I can't help but acknowledge it's not natural and it was not natures design .. but eventually even myself will have to forget about the fact it being wrong. The alternative is living a very lonely life.

Also: Last few years I have gone about telling my closest friends and even my parents about this fact. The funny thing is I fooled all my friends into believing I was straight.. all though everyone was fairly accepting of it, none of them had a clue. I guess we people like myself who are more self-conscious about ourselves get very good at acting straight.

I am with you 100%

I have a gay cousin. Yes, unfortunatly, he has tried to get on me. I kindly told him, "I am not that way." And he understood and has left me alone in all those kinds of ways.

I'm fine with gay's as long as they don't try to get on me.

lol, as a cousin ... Even if HE is not a SHE, that is still pretty :censored:ed up if you were ever to have any kind of relationship.

Hm, no problem with gays or lesbians. Your lifestyle choice, but as with anyone else, just don't start a make out session in public. I don't mind gay marriage, more power to them. I don't know any real gay people sadly. And I also to use gay as a negative comment, only on rare occasions, as it just falls out.

Also on the topic, if any of you wondered where some of my strong atheist beliefs come from? .. a majority come from other issues unrelated to this but this one just seals the case.. being gay and seeing the views of the religious community has totally removed all doubt.


I feel sorry for any homosexual person who is told by the church that they are an abomination and led to believe only god can "fix" them. The sad truth for these people is they will live their entire life seeking to "fix" themselves and their prayers will go unanswered. I can almost voucher for every gay person out there as they would choose to be straight over gay, any day of the week. If there was an easy fix for homosexuality... the psychiatric community would not have removed it from it's list of mental illnesses.

Interesting fact that i heard the other day. apparently when straight me look at gay porn there is actually a violent/ angry reaction tht can show up on brain scans ( cant rmeber exat type of mental scanning they were usen for this test) while for gays this particular reaction is misisng. This is interesting becuase it shows that there are some actually differences between gays and strights physically speaking. You can draw your own implications from that, i just thought it was interesting.

ps: ur sig is very flattering synd][cate (fyi. i beleive that it displays the name of whoever sees it but meh, i can still hold it as personal, smile.gif lol)

Some people are born homosexual, that cannot be changed. It isn't their fault they're gay. Bisexuals, on the other hand, have a choice to be gay or straight.

[center]I have a lot of gay friends, and I've been 'asked out' by gay friends a few times. I even considered 'going out' with a gay guy as a sort of socitial message, but decided not to because of the negative reaction I would get from censored.gif s at school (and at home).
Marriage has nothing to do with gender, it's a legal status. I read somewhere that homosexuals are a lot less likely to break up when in a serious relationship.
Gad, not enough brain power right now, I'll come back to this later.

Don't feel sorry for the gay, he/she has done nothing wrong. Feel sorry for the Church. They are being a hypocrite of their own teachings, which state that even though gays are gays, they should be trated just as the same as anyone else, and that it is not anyone's place to judge except for the gay, him/herself.

In certain places in the south, uncle/dad is not an uncommon relationship. If you are mormon, you can become your own uncle/aunt, step-sibling, or your own cousin. You, as in, becoming you, but a different niche.

Marriage is not just a legal status. But it doubles up as one. That's like saying religion is the same thing as government. The US is not a theocracy. Marriage is supposed to be a difinition of love between [man and woman], but as far as I'm concerned, if gays want to marry, let them have their damned marriage. What difference will it make to us? If anything, this should be good pocket revenue for what is a doomed government.

I really don't understand why people have a problem with it. Their choices aren't hurting you, so why are you concerned?

I think that gay marriage should be legalized, for the reasons already stated in the thread...

What frustrates me is when people use 'gay' and 'cigarette' as insults. To me its just as discriminatory as racial insults. disgust.gif

Actually, if homosexual marriages was a normal thing in our lives, people wouldn't bother that much. As if you did something to "fit" in the normal world, since for some people homosexual people are sick people and they should be frozen-out from all other "normal" people in this world.

Well, I don't see an issue to make homosexual marriages as much as heterosexual marriages.

If memory serves me right, I think Arnold Shartznegger (however you spelled it) vetoed the californian law that allowed Gay marriages. And considering how democratic that state is, I bet alot of people are pretty pissed.
