Why in Jesus name would you want to be convinced that it is natural when it is immoral to practice. Those of that persuasion need to learn to respect and practice chastity. There is not way to be open minded about this because God did not intend this and there is no gray area....immoral and sinful practice and we must speak the truth. Just because a person stands up for the truth does not make them homophobic....it makes them willing to speak up against all immorality, while at the same time showing love and compassion to all those who are in this sin and freely choosing to practice it. We love the sinner but hate the sin.

You hold a lot of assumptions.
1. Why does sex have to be natural? There are PLENTY of other forms of sex that are far from natural. But, if it can be done, then the human body must be outfitted to do it, huh?
2. Why does sex have to lead to reproduction? If everyone were gay, there would still be people who wanted children. I guess they would just find a willing opposite sex partner for a night or two to have a kid if they couldn't use science. That would at least end abortion and having children you don't want or can't support.
3. How could Adam have known his sexual orientation before there was anyone else on the planet or with only one option? He may have found Eve disgusting, but who else did he have? God, could have just been guessing.
That is the beauty of life as a human. We can enjoy it.
The irony is that it is actually Christianity and intolerance that have led to homosexuality continuing. Gays had to live a lie of a heterosexual life to avoid persecution. So they just reproduced more and more gay kids. Truly, it's a miracle that homosexuality has survived to a time when people no longer have to have sex to have a baby. Looks like the hand of God at work to me.

First of all, NOT everyone is gay, only a small part of the population, so that argument is completely invalid. The rest of the population is perfectly capable of continuing the species. Secondly, two people having sex does not always constitute a procreative act, so that argument is invalid unless you are also against birth control. IF God created Adam and Eve to populate the Earth (Not that I believe that, but I'm arguing on your terms) it was because the Earth needed a man and a woman to have children. BUT, now that the earth has far more people than it needs, not every couple needs to have children. Even some straight couples choose not to procreate. Lastly, God is love, and if he allows two people to fall in love and want to spend their lives together, then that love has his blessing, whether it is heterosexual or homosexual. Oh, and as to your comment about anal sex, plenty of straight couples enjoy that too. To each their own.

It is not natural, God created man and woman so there bodies will fit together so perfectly when they have sex. A child can only be concieved by a man and a woman. It is an abomination in the eyes of God.
I feel the same way you do, because I do not understand how people could think it is ok. It is fornication (voluntary sex between unmarried people.)
Maybe they need to ask themselves if God were standing in the room, would it still be ok?
On the other hand it is not up to me to judge what others do in their lives, it is between them and God and they are the ones that will be held accountable on Judgement Day.

No one can prove that its right. They all attack you as if its so commom place but if any guy or girl saw two guys having sex they couldnt watch cause its discusting. The one person said "they were born that way". Sin is ALWAYS a choice, not an accident. If somone wants to believe a lie from satan that their gay because they looked at a guys butt or as one guy put it, " liked to watch porn, and a guy with a big d--k having sex with a woman" as gay tendencies, or the fact that some guys are more in touch with there feminine side, and family problems drive people to bein more confussed and believing his lie of satan. People do have a choice, and some are making the wrong one. If girls like to dress in some of the guy clothes, doesnt mean nothing. If a guy likes to dress in girl clothes, now thats mest up. The thing is that, obviously, men arent women and women arent men but the confussion is so great, they end up dressing, acting, talking like the oposite sex. There is no conversion needed, which i know you know that, just stick with the bible and if they want to reject it, thell be delt with on judgment day. In the mean time, dont neglect them, love on them. Hate the sin but love the sinner the best you can and if somone wont listen, dont force the issue. Always approach it with prayer and a humble, meek spirit. You here them say, " i wish i wasnt like this or i didnt choose this" so encourage them and be friends to them.

you have so many preconceptions that is hard to start anywhere.
Let's go by parts. Procriation - we are way too much people for the world. if many gay and lesbians were not forced to get married, population would be more balanced. in terms of nature, it makes all sense.
God created Adam and Eve - you have no proof, you have evolution with proof, but yet you are using religious beliefs. One day, when you understand howmuch brainwashed you were and what really matters to believe in, you will be shocked.
If you question that belief, to which you have absolutely no proof, that argument goes down with it.
Justify Oral: that, you have to ask to some straght friends. im sure they can tell you as well as any gay here.
then you mixed up oral with anal.
by the way, isn't a vagina the place from which you pee?hmmm, interesting.
So, all you have been arguing about is from a religious perspective, and from a purely reproductive directed life.
Man, there's more to life than that. There is falling inlove with someone, there is sharing things together, there is having variety, learning with it, crying, laughing, seing yourself in the most unwanted and ridiculous situations.
But this will never convince you.
the truth is, you have a long way to go. with yourself first.

(1st off, heads up, the redcatt63 above is an impostor!)
you didn't mean to offend? too late! all you you homophobes do with your stereotyping, Bible-thumping (it's belief, not proof!). not everyone in the world is gay/lesbian, so don't fret about procreation (and yes, we do have kids!) . why do you worry so much about what we do in the bedroom? honestly? no one is making you watch or making you do it. no personal attacks or homophobic comments? what do you think YOU just did? you can dish it out but you can't take it? you're all alike! (and learn how to spell...a few people may take you more seriously!)
HETEROSEXUAL QUESTIONNAIRE
(©1972, Martin Rochlin, Ph.D. Reprinted with permission from the author.)
This questionnaire is for self-avowed heterosexuals only. If you are not openly heterosexual, pass it on to a friend who is. Please try to answer the questions as candidly as possible. Your responses will be held in strict confidence and your anonymity fully protected.
1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
2. When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
3. Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?
4. Could it be that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?
5. If youve never slept with a person of the same sex, how can you be sure you wouldnt prefer that?
6. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?
7. Why do heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into their lifestyle?
8. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Cant you just be what you are and keep it quiet?
9. Would you want your children to be heterosexual, knowing the problems theyd face?
10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual men. Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual male teachers, pediatricians, priests, or scoutmasters?
11. With all the societal support for marriage, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?
12. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?
13. Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?
14. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Dont you fear s/he might be inclined to influence you in the direction of her/his own leanings?
15. Heterosexuals are notorious for assigning themselves and one another rigid, stereotyped sex roles. Why must you cling to such unhealthy role-playing?
16. With the sexually segregated living conditions of military life, isnt heterosexuality incompatible with military service?
17. How can you enjoy an emotionally fulfilling experience with a person of the other sex when there are such vast differences between you? How can a man know what pleases a woman sexually or vice-versa?
18. Shouldnt you ask your far-out straight cohorts, like skinheads and born-agains, to keep quiet? Wouldnt that improve your image?
19. Why are heterosexuals so promiscuous?
20. Why do you attribute heterosexuality to so many famous lesbian and gay people? Is it to justify your own heterosexuality?
21. How can you hope to actualize your God-given homosexual potential if you limit yourself to exclusive, compulsive heterosexuality?
22. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change if you really want to. After all, you never deliberately chose to be a heterosexual, did you? Have you considered aversion therapy or Heterosexuals Anonymous?

it depends on how you define natural. the fact that most people are born to be heterosexual doesn't mean the minority (homosexual) are not natural. they didn't asked to be that way, they are borned that way without choice. i am glad that i am borned to be heterosexual so that i don't have to face the difficulties and pressure in the society. i think it's only a matter of opinion. some people are born blind, some born with three legs or even with both female and male organs....they are just different and we should accept differences.
and also who are we to judge others? if bible is against homosexual then let God judge them not us.

Many animals have homosexual tendencies. They tend to use these for bonding to enable a social group to function more closely. If you were to look at the socialness of a species and the tendency towards homosexuality then you would see a direct correlation.
If we look at say the ancient Greeks, they encouraged sex between the young men. Their method of battle involved phalanx's of spearmen who had to stand in tight groups. Their shields would cover the man to their left and this took a lot trust. Sex between the men was thought to enable them to bond more closely and look after each other.
Please go and study biology a bit more. You will see that animals have natural homosexual tendencies in wild stable populations. Please bother to read up on a subject before you make a wild statement. Might I point you in the direction of Bonobos (Pan Paniscus) as somewhere to start.

What do you want to be converted to?
If we say that man and woman were made only to populate the earth, then we not only disrespect homosexuals, but also those who are celibate in adulthood. We also discount those of us who, by choice or by chance, can not have children.
If male homosexual behavior grosses you out, then don't think about it. Think about what things in the world that enrich your mind and spirit and leave the things that do not enrich you to others.
You speak of male homosexuality. Does female homosexuality upset you as much? Think about it.

Do you realize that "oral" is the mouth?
Are you saying that a monogamous heterosexual couple cannot use their mouths to pleasure each other?
If you're going to rip on gays, at least have your facts straight.
Sex does not have to involve fertilization of sperm and egg. Are you saying that when you're old enough and mature enough to have sex, you're only going to do it to have kids?
It's ok to be gay, because there's only a bible that says there isn't and not everyone believes in the bible.
One last question for you..
Do you imagine what your heterosexual friends do in the privacy of their own bedroom? Then why do you care what gay people do?
