What harm do gay people do? Really?

Question

I don't care if you think being gay is wrong. No one is forcing you to be gay. But what harm does allowing someone else to be gay actually do to other people? Can you prove to me that being gay actually harms us at all? I want hard facts, people. Links to reputable websites (not propaganda hate sites) would be the best.

Black Sabbath, HIV is spread by heterosexual sex, as well as by sharing needles. Practicing safe sex makes it a non issue. Does not porve anything. Next?

Robert N, I didn't ask for religious propaganda, thank you.

Answer 1

none at all. just living our lives the way we were meant to live them.

the first answer is incorrect; the highest percentage of hiv is actually found in heterosexual women.

Answer 2

I believe Jesus Christ lived in the flesh. Say this to all.

Homosexuality can do much harm to many people. We can not give you the websites you ask for, but it is my opinion that you seek, I am the help of Jesus Christ.

Many people are effected by acts of homosexuality and it is something hard to explain but I will do my best to explain it in a format you may understand best. Say you had this source of power that works only one way. The power knows no other way to do its work. Along comes something that is not in its plan. What is the source of power to do? It has several choices. It can continue to do the plan and work it was designed to do and ignore the flaw in the plan until the flaw gets so big that it becomes the plan. Now you have a mess on your hands, because the plan was to do the other plan and not the plan it is doing now.

Suppose this happened in a car. A car works one way, it is designed to drive down the road in a straight path. If it does not stay in the straight path and accident could occur. Then the car would be changed forever, but it may still work. It may become fixed in away it becomes knew again, through repairs. Yet it had an influence that caused it to not drive in a straight path.

These different influences can cause so many different outcomes, but they will effect the car some way. Even if it looks like there is no effect done, you can bet something changed on that car the time it was influenced to do what it was not planed to do.

So if a person is gay, and they was designed to be straight, and all people and animals are designed to be heterosexual, there will be an effect some how if a person is effected by a person that is practicing homosexuality. So it is best to help change the damage any effect of homosexuality has made on a person as soon as possible or when the damage is noticed the first time.

You do not have to demand change, just pray in the name of Jesus Christ for help for all concerned, because the power in humans, and animals . comes from Him.

Answer 3

The harm they could be viewed as doing is warping society's emphasis on the family, the tribe, survival and re-focusing people's concerns to the area of personal happiness regardless of consequences (along with AIDS). They also (if out of the closet) could be in general thought to be recruiting (even though probably most gay persons do not actually do this). A third thing is, just like the divisiveness in politics today, they can be seen as driving a wedge in society, thus splintering it and not unifying it. If you look at the history of all great nations you will notice that fragmentation of special interests instead of a "normal" majority viewpoint can be seen to be among the causes. All societies have to have a shared purpose and cultural unity or they are just kidding themselves. All of this goes back to the Civil War, when the Union felt it had the right to keep the dissenters from leaving the Union by forcing their own view - in fact it's little known that the South did not want to even fight - they were forced into it. Perhaps we'd all be better off if all the special interest groups formed separate Republics? No, I think rather that people need to learn to compromise and keep their opinions to themselves when they cause friction, whether that be coming from a Gay, Straight, Lib, Con or what have you. In the same way new immigrants in this country need to learn the English language and use it in public to show respect for this great country they are claiming to want to be a part of - and I am tri-lingual. So in essence we ALL need to compromise and not hurt everyone else's feelings, Gays included.

Answer 4

Like many here, one could post HIV/Aids, offence to God/Human kind etc as a negative, however the 'harm' caused is not just one single hard fact. It is 'collection' of hard facts - social/political/spiritual facts.

To truly answer your question - None.
Gay people cause no harms. Really. Though the attitude of others might (and in most cases, does).

Homosexuality and the culture/philosophy it creates unites a system of belief that challenges and contradicts many of today's viewpoints (such as the 'social/political/spiritual facts' mentioned). These points can be opened to suggest (briefly):

Social: Family values (nuclear family (or abuse of))
Norms (everyday attitude [do's and don’ts])
Sexual Behaviour

Political: Gay man for president?
Gay man for a lead role?


Spiritual: Religious teachings (Bible, Koran or any religious text)
Abuse of human nature

These points are rough and hardly complete but the idea suggested is that whatever group you might stand alongside (whether you be and theist or atheist) there is always some contradiction against homosexual individuals.

The individual itself might be the straightest person around more man or woman as their neighbour, however, categorising them as that makes them an enemy, after all, this is the view of the gay community.

They are rule breakers, sinners, sexual predators and as you've mentioned "harmful".

Question: What harm do gay people do? Really?

Answer: Allot, simply for not doing any.

Answer 5

Many gay people behave publicly as if being gay was perfectly natural. If we don't stop them now, pretty soon the women and the blacks will start to think that they too are normal, and that they're equal to the fat white males who run this joint. Then where will we be? All that equality running rampant, before you know it everyone will be happy, and you know how that can bugger up the economy! What harm do they do? What a silly question!

Answer 6

"Anyone is at risk for AIDS whether they are gay or straight. Initially AIDS was found mainly among gay men. But that group's infection rate has decreased through education and "safe sex". NOW the number of cases being reported at HIGH rates is among heterosexual young adults and teenagers."

Now, to answer your question - of course individual gays might do harm, either to other gays or to "straights." (just as individual "straights" might.) But I take it you're asking this as a "blanket" question.
My answer is that a person's being gay (or straight) doesn't harm me in any way whatsoever. Why should it? How a person wants to have sex and with whom is his/her business, as long as it's a matter between consenting adults.
It affects me even less than brief rain shower in Hong Kong would.

Answer 7

Sexual orientation is a personal, private matter. It doesn't harm anyone else at all, IMO. And Black Sabbath...heterosexuals can spread HIV just as quickly as anyone else. We're not in the '80s here, pal...get a clue. I don't think you're likely to find reputable websites that will prove that homosexuality causes anyone harm, cause I don't think it can be reputably proven. Great question...might get some people thinkin'!

Answer 8

I recall that mainstream psychology held homosexuality to be a mental illness up until a gay took over the Psychology Today and related institution in the early 1980s. Social stigmatism and inability to procreate are also driving factors, so psychologically, homosexuality is harmful.

From a physical standpoint, using body parts for purposes they were not intended is harmful.

Spiritually, homosexuality is just another (not exclusive) state of sinful nature that masters a persons spirit and enslaves it to something that is neither beneficial nor lasting.

So it is psychologically, physically and spiritually damaging to the individual practicing it.

Answer 9

None, they don't cause any harm, people r just ignorant. And the old fashioned people can't accept it because they were brought to believe that it was wrong. Though there as been gay people way back since the greek olympic era.(not sure what years)

Answer 10

If people want to blame HIV and AIDS on homosexuals, they have to consider the fact that our government and society will not allow them to be married. What other choice do they have then, but to be in non-commited relationships? That, in turn, leads to promiscuity, which leads to the spreading of STDs. Think about it.

Answer 11

Gay people aren't harming me in anyway whatsoever. I don't care what they do, or anyone else does for that matter, as long as they don't interfere with my life, which they don't. I have many gay friends who are so wonderful. I can trust them to be there for me sometimes more than my straight friends. They're just people too!
