I was just wondering if anybody else agrees with me that homosexuality is not a sin. People who are against it seem not to have analysed the situation and dont think of how hard they are making it for gays. I believe it is a very importnant thing to make gays feel socially accepted. After all, being gay is not somthing you can choose, you are born with it, just like your skin colour. Im kind of confused about my sexuality myself at the minute, so i dont know if im straight or gay, but i still feel sorry for gays in that they are rejected from some churches and other things. I was just wondering if anyone else dislikes the homophobia we have in our society at the minute.

Oh absolutely 100%! Unfortunately society needs a scapegoat, always has, always will. People need to have someone else to blame for their miserable lives and the problems in the world, instead of looking where they should be (at themselves) they point fingers. Right now, and probably for quite a bit longer, it will be those of us in the gay community who are pointed at and miss treated. You are right, it's not a choice. People don't hear that though, they only hear what they want to. I hope that you begin to understand yourself better in the future, I know that it's hard to be confused, it will get better. As for the way society treats us, that's not going to change for a while I'm afraid.

The simple truth is this. Nothing other than insanity -- thinking and/or action void of anything true in the real world -- drives individuals to speak, write, vote, believe, promote, allow anything against homosexuality.
Millions and and millions of individuals -- every culture, every color, every race, blind, deaf, every economic class -- all over the world are (and have been throughout all of history) homosexually oriented. How? Why? There is NO definitive answer that anyone can claim as certain. However, we do know the following:
Homosexuals contribute greatly to the beauty and good of all (as they have for centuries);
Homosexuals make outstanding lawyers, bankers, judges, legislators, teacher, cabinet makers, bar tenders, engineers, doctors, parents, etc. (as they have throughout history).
Homosexuals have made outstanding marriages worthy of admiration, recognition, and legal protection.
I could go on, and on, and on. The main point is simple. There is NOT ONE REASON full of truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth that drives anyone to shun Gays and Lesbians. Not ONE by ANY stretch of the imagination.
Citing Bible references has never proven a thing.
Scrupulously exegeting Bible reverences certainly will NOT show that God dislikes homosexuality.

Who cares. Why do our personal lives need approval from people who aren't gay? They will give a million reasons why it's bad and wrong and sinful and against God's will. There are lots of things in the bible against God's will which so-called Christians have no problem with....why is homosexuality worse than any of these?
My advice to you is to live your life how you want to.... and if we're going to hell - well, if those people who have said that about us are the ones going to heaven, then I'll take my chances with a passage south. Their righteous babble is bad enough in this life, imagine having it for all of eternity.....

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?

Men and women are trying to find something within themselves.
That being that our spirit is made of two aspects of the Lifeforce,
our ego mind understands as maculine and feminine.
They are doing it externally. Dressing up, acting out, and
through sexual experimentation. But it has to be done within.
No matter how people rationalize it. Relationships that last are
usually made up of a masculine and feminine individual. And all the talk about men and women being better is crap. Because
we are all individuals, and we still have to deal with personality
conflict, insecurities, etc, etc, no matter who we are with.

within certain religions it is definitely a sin, but that is why i left these religions to their ignorant undoing. as far as Christianity is concerned (I'm not a christian but most of the readers who use the term "sin" probably are) it is a total paradox. homosexuality is no different than the colors of your eyes, you can cover it up with sunglasses or colored contacts but ultimately, when it comes to the rue color, they will always be the same. if we are to love gods image, the image that we are made in (and reamer he doesn't make mistakes) we need to learn to embrace our sexuality. we are also told that we should love our neighbors as ourselves, this implies that we should love our self (not talking about jerking off) and so we cannot be ashamed of who we are. however the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, along with the mention of it given in Leviticus make it clear that homosexuality is wrong

No, of course it's not a sin, even if you do believe in the Bible and you happened to have done your homework, you'ld actually find that PEDOPHILIA and straights who have gay sex are the ones committing the sins!

Homosexuality is NOT a sin. Never was, never will be; the world needs to get over itself and stop covering up for its own insecurities.

oh absoloutely, people need 2 move with the times, & i don`t think it`s frowned upon as much as it used 2 b, but there r still idiotic people out there who keep theyre mind closed, maybe they r scared they might devellop same sex feelings? who knows. if u find u r gay, be proud, don`t be ashamed, don`t feed off peoples bad energy, just block em out, ignore them.
