is being gay wrong? (im not gay)?

Answer 1

I am not gay, so may be I should not be answering this question but, I am a mother, wife, and also a God fearing woman, and I personally feel like it is wrong, When this world was created Man & Woman was created that way families could be created, it takes a man & woman a husband & wife to make a family, all I am saying is that was, how the world was suppose to grow but, in this day and time there is so much wrong in the world, you have children killing their parents, you have parents molesting their children.
You have children raising children, so why not have same sex on same sex.
I have tried to explain to my children how I feel about it, as well as my husband their father, and they seem to understand that we feel like it is very wrong, now in saying that I will not stop loving my child if they grow up and end up in a situation like this, I just will not allow it in my home, I will always love them but, I will not have it around me.
I have been told that I am closed minded by gay people on this yahoo answers and I will tell you like I told them, I am one person with one oppinion, I want to be a grandmother in the future, and if the kids growing up thinking it's okay to be gay how will this happen?
I hope that I have not offended you in giving my personal feelings...
So To ME "It is wrong."

Answer 2

Before reading my ramblings, my answer to your question is:

No, being gay is not wrong. However, it is not right either. It just is what it is.

I think that we have evolved (and are still evolving) into a society that accepts each other's differences.

I think this is a good question, in that, by thinking about what you are asking, one can hopefully come to a conclusion that it's a question that does not really make sense.

I think of it as if one were to ask "Is being blue-eyed wrong?" or "Is being human wrong?" or "Is being a female wrong?" I feel it's not a matter of right and wrong, but of being outside of the norm. (However we then get into the discussion of what is the norm, or what is normal?)

Some right-winged christian fundamentalists (like my father, I'm sorry to say) believe it is wrong. I do not believe it is wrong, but then again, I do not believe it is "right."

That's the problem as I see it. It is my feeling that my being gay isn't an "action" or a choice, it's who I am, and it's who I believe I was from the day I was born.

I feel that right and wrong are in the eyes of the beholder, so to speak. Hitler believed not being blonde and blue was wrong. Some people think capital punishment is wrong. Some people think abortion is wrong. Some people think professional athlete's high salaries are wrong. Some people believe eating pork is wrong.

I'll step off my soap box for now, but those are some of my feelings. (TimNYC.com)

I've listed some sources for inspiration toward an answer. None of these sources are right. None of these sources are wrong. They just are what they are.

Answer 3

No, although some intolerant people might tell you otherwise. But who are they to judge?

One theory why the Bible condemns homosexuality is that back then, when there was no modern medecine and life expectancy was lower (and infant mortality rates probably higher), procreation was necessary for the survival of the human species. Homosexuality didn't lead to reproduction, obviously. So maybe, biologically, it is a way of population control nowadays.

Modern society doesn't take everything from the Bible literally; for example, we don't sacrifice a lamb on an altar when we've "sinned." Actually people would probably think you were part of some cult if you did that. Nor do we stone women for committing adultery (at least in the States...sadly that is still something that happens in other countries).

So why should we continue to condemn homosexuality?

Answer 4

There's no such thing as "wrong" or "right" here, it's not a choice, so there is no blame. People will hide behind the bible, and interpret it the way they want...what they fail to recognize is the bible is just a book and someone had to write it, it was made for different interpretations~ you choose your intrepretation. Come up with a better reason for saying it's "wrong" please. Divorce is a "sin", but you don't hold up protest signs against divorcees. I think we need to all look at how we can make things better in this world, not how we can oppress people or throw hateful words at them~ it's just a waste of time, and makes you a horrible role model for all children in this world! I don't expect everyone to understand or agree with the homosexual lifestyle, just like I don't agree with people flying the confederate flag for example~ but I don't run around yelling slurs or telling nasty hateful jokes. Worry about yourselves, not what loving people are doing in their own relationships. It's funny, people get disgusted by gay people holding hands in public, but nobody says anything when a mother slaps her 3 year old across the face or a husband berates his wife in public. These are things to be disgusted by and/or to say something about...get your priorities straight. I'm not gay either, but I've worked with gay and bi youth, and your hatred has added to the high incidents of youth suicide in this country....sleep on that! What does your bible say about spreading hate? You all say "God will judge", then let him/her... you think he's up there right now, saying "Hey, great job down there, being hateful to this or that group of people! Hate the gays! That's what I hope I taught you!" Ya, I don't think so.

Answer 5

First of all, there are no so called christians. Either you are or your not. Being a christian means you have accepted Christ, not that you are perfect and hopefully not judgmental. The bible tells us that for a man or woman to lay with the other is an abomination in the sight of God. God loves all mankind and wants what is best for them. You can look at birds, animals etc. and there is always male and female. It is His natural plan of reproduction. I have learned through many years of experience as a Christian, trial and error, that God's way is always best. He never makes a rule without a reason like we do. The word "gay" is a misconception. It used to mean happy and I have never known anyone who had gotten into the "gay" lifestyle that was truly happy. I have seen homes and marriages and families destroyed because of it as well as incurable disease. Search your heart and if you really want the truth, ask God and He will reveal Himself and His answer to you.

Answer 6

Anyone's sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of. I am straight, and so I am accepted by most cultures for not being gay. I personally don't think it is wrong because a person can not change the fact that they are attracted to one gender, and they should NOT have to change themselves for anyone.

Many societes feel that being gay is wrong. Many Catholics believe it is a sin because God "says so." I believe this stems from the fact that they (for a long time) could not get married, so many would have sex without marriage, which is a sin. I could be wrong about why many christians feel it is a sin, but this is my theory.

Answer 7

Okay first to all the uneducated "Christians" spouting crap from the King James Version of the bible ... please remember that is the LEAST accurate translation of the Latin translation of the original text and any self-respecting, educated biblical scholar will tell you that. So PLEASE stop showing your ignorance.

Second, for those same folks, not everyone is Christian and you really need to stop judging other people by your moral standards. Which by the way, even the King James Version of the Bible says "Judge not, lest ye be judged!"

Third, to answer the actual question, no being gay is not wrong, there are numerous examples of animals in nature having same gender relationships, so why should the human animal be any different.

Answer 8

Wrong or right implies someone must judge whether one can be gay or not.

No one has that right or power.

Religions like to say they are against the sin, not the sinner.
If you believe in God, then perhaps only God can provide you a definitive answer.

It is extremely important that we become more tolerant of people who live lifestyles different from our own. Humanity is a diverse species that will only survive in peace, if we accept and celebrate our diversity while acknowledging how we are all tied together. If we condemn any one, we will never have peace.

Answer 9

I don't htink its wrong. But you will encounter all the ppl in this world who think they are sinless and have the right to judge you if you are. Just remember god also said basically Don't judge others which from my knowledge also includes gays and lesbians. I am not a lesbian but I really don't care if others are I just hate it hwen they feel like they have to tell everyone they encounter that they are gay. I think it is a double edged sowrd in some cases. You fell liberated that you came out but then you have to deal with friends and family judging you and making you feel like ****. Your not less of a person just cuz your different.

Answer 10

If you believe in the Bible and profess to be a Christian, you can't deny where it says that man should not lay down with man, nor woman with a woman. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed partly because of homosexuality. The word sodomy was derived from the city Sodom.
If you don't believe in the Bible and are an athiest or a Satanist, then you would think it's okay. Either way, God will judge, not me, so just don't bring it around me and I'm fine.

Answer 11

being judgemental is what is wrong. I am not gay and I don't judge the ones that are. It is never wrong to be yourself as long as you are not intending on hurting anyone.

Also if being gay is wrong then having premarital sex is wrong also. It goes on everyday and no one ever says anything about that. No wrong is greater or less than the other.
