Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender - September 2007

Especially since the religious conservatives claim that the bible condemns gays to hell.

Also, do gay priests adhere to the concept of celibacy?

And how do they cope facing a congregation that may be anti-gay?

Would love to hear from priests / ex-priests / public at large

Please note the spin on this age old question.

I have my own answer to this, but that's not what this question is for.

This should settle the debate. If there are no gay people who say they chose to be gay, then the argument that gay is a choice, is false.

If your not gay, how could you know. If you are gay, you should be able to answer the question correctly I would imagine.

Thanks for the help, and lets see if we can lay this one to rest.

If you were given the chance to magically turn yourself straight, would you take that opportunity??? I don't mean to offend anyone with this, I'm wondering because I would. . .

My essay is supposed to be based loosely off of a newspaper article, and I'm also supposed to state my opinion and my reasons for holding that opinion. Well, I obviously support same-sex marriage but I need some legal examples of a few things stated in the article:

the first being this quote "We just want to protect our relationship and our children like any other couple would."

An example of how would an official marriage be "protecting" a relationship, please?

and the second being this one: "If two people are married, they wouldn't have to pay for a lot of things others take for granted."

Could you give me an example of what those things might be?

Thank you very much! I'm trying to make my essay as professional and clear as possible because there's a lot of homophobia at my school and I'd like to take a small stab at discouraging it. :-)

Could they be just curious, insecure about their own sexuality or just homophobics...which has to do a great deal with their own sexual insecurities. I have to admit some are gay friendly though...those have no sexual insecurities.

There is a huge difference between God himself and all of the crazy people who are doing things supposedly in God's name. The people who get up there and say that God hates homosexuals haven't read their Bible close enough - He loves everyone, and if Jesus Christ were on the earth today - he'd eat and drink with you just the same. Many people have used religion to persecute so many groups of people over the centuries. Like the Jews in World War Two, etc. but that doesn't mean God Himself hates Gays - he doesn't. He hates Sin - but he hates ALL SIN. I don't think he goes and says this is a worse sin than that one. God Himself - loves Gay people very much - and anyone who says differently is misguided. But I want to caution you against hating all Christians just because of what people have done to you. In high school people accused me of being gay and did hate against me too - so I understand to a small degree that you have suffered by the hands of these people.(continued)

I'm sure this question has been asked a lot.
And I don't intend nor want to offend anyone in my question.
With all respect, I'm just trying to learn and understand.

Is this something you did by choice or have you always been this way?

To explain further, do you think everyone has at least one problem that they are consistently fighting? Or are their people out there who don't have a care in the world?

Reason why I ask: I'm bored.

I was trying to think of ways to squash a full set of anti-homophobic arguments for you to refute into a 1000-character question, and I decided that really the only way is to link to a longer and more complete set of such arguments. I then happened across this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzso1OOTPM
I'd just like to know what you people who consider homosexuality to be immoral have to say about this. If possible, please try to actually come up with either counters to the arguments made in the video or additional, real reasons why homosexuality is immoral, I'd rather not see any random quotation of scripture that doesn't address the arguments in the video.

My step son has always been "a little" quiet and reserve, definitely never like the other boys when he was growing up.
He played with toys (skate boarding figures and BMX figures on small finger ramps) until he was 16. He still doesn't have his license, says he's nervous. He has been caught more times that I can count looking at cross dressing web sites, or gay websites. I found a chat log once that he wanted to engage in "sex acts" with another boy. He says this is just curious behavior, and he protest he is NOT gay, but I do not believe him. His dad is not sure what to believe. My 2 younger children live in the same house and I have forbid "porn" even on his personal computer. He erases history daily.
I am not sure if he's gay or just inmature.
Like I said, he is 20. He works and sleeps....He isn't like any other 20 year old I have ever known. He doesn't even want to go out (except with his sister, 19) that's only to family BBQ's and stuff.
What should I do?

And everything went SO well! He said he is cool with it and he respects that I am gay. He even apologized for all the times he tried to hook me up with girls and made remarks about them that made me uncomfortable. He is the first person I've told, I can't believe I did it. I woke up this morning at first saying to myself "what have I done?" but now I realize it needed to be done... I feel like 1000 lbs has been lifted off my chest, I could only imagine how I would feel if everyone finally knew...

I was just wondering...[do not ask for my age please] cuz I am REALLY tomboyish, and I've been hearing/reading stuff that said older females being a tomboy or having a masculine image are often 'repressed or punished'...but I don't want to develop into a girly girl or something either...

I wonder just like any one else if the prehistoric people especially the guys had engaged themselves in some sort of homosexual activities?

When people say things like:
"I knew I was gay when I was 5 and I found out Barbara Streisand cancelled her concert and I cried for a week"

"I knew I was gay when I was 8 and all the other girls did ballet and all I wanted was to play on the football team"

Grr...it's just stereotypes!!!! Maybe you just liked Barbara Streisand! It doesn't mean you are gay!!
