Thank God the first thing it occurred to anyone to do in response to someone else trying to understand their fellow man was to make sure to tell them not to bother and start imposing their hatred on everyone else.
How very "what would Jesus do" of you folks.
I could spend quite some time talking about the teachings of Jesus (who very notably said "Love your enemies and do them good. Keep in mind that God is kind to the unthankful and the evil"), and his warnings against the hypocrisy of loudly announcing your righteousness. However, the true students of Jesus already know his teachings and those who only pay lip service to them don't really care, so I'll save the discussion for another time.
I will be blunt and say this, though: Your hateful condemnations don't demonstrate how close you are to Jesus's word nearly as much as they demonstrate just how far you are from his meaning.
I would like to applaud the courage of those who have chosen to make this a forum for hateful rhetoric instead of understanding and enlightenment, though.
Since this question was posed only to gays and lesbians, it must have taken a lot to finally come out of the closet and admit not only that you're gay, but that you have a serious problem with self-loathing. I guess it's true what they say: The first step in fixing your problem is admitting you have one.
My answer to attina's question, though, is I can't speak for others, but I would greatly prefer to simply live a quiet life in peace. From everything I've seen of heterosexual relationships, there really is no fundamental difference between the nature of theirs and the nature of mine except for two things:
1) What happens between the covers; and
2) I'm not reducing everyone else's relationships down to only that and trying to ruin their ability to live their lives in peace and disparaging their ability and right to love someone else, because I'm not enough of a self-righteous prick to think I deserve to do so simply on the basis of not liking who they picked.
Other than that, we really just do what everyone else does. We get up, we eat breakfast and talk about the things going on in each other's lives. We go to work and come home. We have hobbies and we have pets, and we do a lot of homey things like clean house, eat yet another meal together since the first one that day was so tasty and nutritious, and spend time doing "boring couple stuff" like cuddling together on the couch while we watch our favorite TV show. Sometimes we like to go out for a romantic evening. Most of the time there are things to do at home. We spend time with our families, we spend time with our friends, and yes, quite a few of us spend our days being parents to our children.
In short, every one of the big things about a heterosexual relationship (the need to love someone else and be loved in return, the commitment to one another, the concern for one another, etc) are the same in ours. The thousand and one little things, such as remembering special occasions, how our "other half" likes their eggs, when that movie we both want to really see is on, and bringing home flowers just to see them smile, are also the same.
And, whether or not anyone chooses to believe this, our choices are ultimately the same. Just like everyone else, we follow our hearts to where they naturally seem to lead us, hopefully to a life where we can love someone else and be loved by them in return.

I'm glad to see some people still have values, and morals. Way to go TKO, and the others that tell the truth, even if it's not popular to say so. Homosexuality is wrong, immoral, and should not be put on a pedestal to admire. They should NOT have the right to marry, anymore than I should have the right to marry a goat. And don't give me this crap about "but I was born this way" Bullsh*t. It's a lifestyle choice. If I can wake up in the morning, and make it through my day without putting my d*ck in a guy's a$$, so can everyone else.

Yeah, TKO has never sinned once in her whole life I'm sure! Anyway, I know this question is for homosexuals, I'm not but my father is. He lives life like a normal person. He doesn't like to show affection in public because of people like TKO above ^ that waste their time criticizing and looking down upon him when he abides by the law, pays his taxes, and is a responsible and active citizen. But who cares, right? If a murderer is heterosexual he will go to heaven if he repents, but someone who loves another person with all their being will go to hell simply because they have a great capacity to love. But his life is great, he and his significant other go to work in the morning, come home in the evening, cook and eat dinner, watch movies or sports, play in the yard with their dogs, and go to bed. Then wake up and do it all over again, but because of this I'm sure everyone thinks he must burn in hell. You know what, he's always been there for me, never hit me, never left me, never once chose anyone or anything over me, and yet he's such a bad person because he lives and loves a man. So sad the views of most people.

Thank you TKO. It seems people LOVE reporting abuse when it is not of THEIR opinion. I love the irony of it. I agree with TKO, I have answered the question. My ex-"mother" turned into a lesbian and she lives in a filthy home full of animals and is a horrible housekeeper. She no longer has to apply make-up, do her hair, wear fashionable clothing, wear attractive shoes, or conform to any sociatal standard for women. HOORAY for her, she looks like a short man with bad hair. I guess that is how she chooses to live as a lesbian. Oh and by the way, she lives in SIN.

The same way anyone else would live their life with their mate, with the exception of not having the same rights as a straight married couple.
Thank you TKO for not answering the question, and for taking this person's legitimate question as an opportunity to spew your hatred and to spread your own personal beliefs.

TKO is right being Gay is a sin no matter what . There is no making it right. It plainly states in the Bible that man shall not lie with man. It is morally wrong and it was not meant for man and man or woman and woman to be together.

I want the same rights as every heterosexual does. My life being with my girl, is beautful. We are happy, we look foward to having babies and a huge family. Our life is extremely normal. We talk, make love, laugh just like everyone does, or at least like everyone should in this world

I live it just fine, thanks fer asking! :o)
There's not really anything different than how a straight couple live their lives, except they're more likely to be married and have children, due to the discriminatory laws currently on the books. You know, the ones supported by discriminatory, bigoted, hate-mongering "christians."
