You guys get so defensive!! If you were so happy in your lifestyle, why do you have to get so defensive when someone that you don't even know says something against it? I doubt your all as happy with yourselves as you say. Of course that is just my opinion and I am just one person.

I always crusade against racism, bigotry, sexism and homophobia. I don't consider it a joke, as you appear to.

I hope you're [note that I know how to spell and use it] as happy with yourself as you appear to be. Just don't call yourself a 'christian,' because your questions and answers show your actions to be exactly opposite. WWJD?

People tend to be defensive when someone attacks them.

And the few questions I've seen from you are merely attacks on a lifestyle that you dislike. So you dislike it. No one is telling you to be a lesbian. Yet, you feel it's important to belittle other people by telling them they're wrong. No wonder they're so defensive.

How would you react to the following questions:
"Don't you know that Christianity is a stupid religion? Why don't you just give up that God doesn't love you?"
"Why would anyone have kids? And having two of them? Why don't you just bomb the world? It's a faster depletion of our resources than spawning mewling leeches."
"Who gave women permission to speak anyway?"

I've seen questions very similar to those. If they came up on your screen to be answered, you would be defensive too (assuming you are indeed a Christian mother). Or would being defensive mean that you aren't happy with your lifestyle as a Christian mother?

It is just your opinion. And while you are allowed to state your opinion, others are allowed to tell you how wrong you are. Such is the cycle.

Why cause anyone to become defensive? Doesn't that mean that you are on the offensive, thus being the attacker? You sound quite immature to actually write a question about this, and label it as "fun". People will always defend their lifestyle choices, and you have really no right to doubt the happiness of people you don't know.

Well let me just say that we get defensive because we are attacked every where we go for things that you get to take for granted.
I am not an out there in your face person I am quite and reserved but if you get your foot stomped on once and then it gets stomped on again then pretty soon it don't matter who barely nudges your foot before you react as though that person has stomped on your foot.
I think some compassion on your part might go a lot farther than judging which I understand has some basis in your religion something about a whore and casting the first stone.
Sounds like some interesting reading I think.

we're not happy? wow, then why is it that most "gay" cities like san fransisco have such a high quality of life?

we get defensive just as any other peson would about something. for instanse, i am political, and when someone says something about Democrats, I slam them down and say s*it about republicans. or lets say you had kids or something.. wouldn't you get defensive if someone said something about them? I'm sure you would.

if you lived in a world where straight people were discriminated against, you would see how hard it is to be. we can't just sit here and lets us gays be discriminated against, with ***** like you who come in here and say all this s*it.. no.. we are going to stand up for what we think is right.

oh and i've read your other questions and such. you seem very homophobic. i also read your description. you seem religious. figures.. and that's cool. so am i. i have talked to my priest, and another pastor about being gay. they both have said that there is nothing wrong wtih it, and that they are not going to hate me because i am gay. i was also told that all sins are equal.. so if you're wearing a cotton shirt right now, and jeans, you have sin just as much as me. wearing two types of clothing is a sin btw.. look up leviticus. you may condemm leviticus like i do.. well, half of the anti gay quotes in the bible are too from leviticus, so.. also, if i lied about being gay, that would be just as bad as actually being gay. if i said i was straight, and lived a miserable life, i would be living a lie. and remember, all sins are equal.

you are judgmental.. very.. you like to offend gays for fun. do you think god would like that? no. of course not. also, might i mention that the bible has some stories about gay relationships. check out 1 Samuel 20:17, 1 Samuel 20:17, 1 Samuel 20:41-42, 1 Samuel 20:41-42. some quotes.. "- Then Jonathan said to David, "God be with you. The LORD will make sure that you and I, and your descendants and mine, will forever keep the sacred promise we have made to each other." Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town." hmm, what is that promise? the promise of love for each other maybe?

you need to learn the word ACCEPTANCE. Gays don't choose to be gay. do some googling, and i'm sure you will to be convinced.

GLBT people aren’t happy myth: In 1994, the American Medical Association released a statement saying, “Most of the emotional disturbance experienced by gay men and lesbians around their sexual identity is not based on physiological causes but rather is due more to a sense of alienation in an unaccepting environment.” What that means is that the discrimination and stress that GLBT people face is the root cause of a great deal of pain for many GLBT people. That pain can be alleviated by knowing that there is a vibrant, growing community of GLBT and straight-supportive Americans who know and care about GLBT people and the issues they face.

I would say you're the one that is unhappy and miserable. People who pick at others normally are pretty unhappy their-selves.
Don't try to say that because people are getting defensive over your questions, that means they are unhappy in their life. It's human nature to get defensive or angry when some criticizes you, your beliefs, or someone you love. if someone criticized one of your children, or even you christianity, you would not only be defensive, you would strike back. My God, I'm not even gay and it bothers me that there are idiots like you out there, so I can only imagine how this could irritate someone who is gay. You are just horrible!

I am so happy that your ignorace, biogtry, self rightous attitude is something you like to show to the world. I am so happy that you can come in here and attach people. It's called free speak. however, I am so happy you have so much free time to spend in here instead of out educating yourself, and maybe doing something far more constructive.

you don't know us from Eve. and don't pretend that you do because you know no better than all the other people who claim to be "Christians". You are a class example of being a bigot and i hope your kids will choose the same lifestyle that we share and then you can see where we are coming from

Yes, this is your opinion. And yes you are just one person. Please see my response to the question "let me get this straight".

Please re-read your question that is posted above. This is the prime reason we get defensive. We are happy. We are sad. We are angry. We are human. We are entitled to not be poked at and prodded like a bear in a cage.

Seems like you deliberately try to get us riled up and then sit back and enjoy the show.
