Well, as a woman, I don't believe it's "wrong" that I can vote, own property, and not be the property of a man. Seems that most of the society around the globe has decided that slavery is no longer acceptable. Once upon a time, left handed people were considered evil instruments of the devil, and woe to the family that birthed such a freak.
Power, oppression, and "group think" are the basis for your reasoning. It's the mentality that people like Hitler and all tyrants rely upon to rise to power. Why do you think they usually round up the intellectuals and free thinkers first? Now, if you are going to say that people who think freely and question established beliefs are wrong, it's pointless to answer this question because that's the mentality that would have us all back in caves scavenging for a meal.
In other words, there would not be so many negatives and issues associated with homosexuality if the people who were not gay stopped being so obsessed and threatened by it. I mean, really, lefties are no longer judged and you probably think absolutely nothing about socializing with one. Life is much richer when you learn to stop judging as wrong the things that you don't understand. That goes way beyond sexual orientation, by the way. Oh and, ya know, a lot of families accept and love and think their gay kids are absolutely great.

HUH?
Try that again, in English, please.
How is being gay inconsistant?
Think about what you say before you say it. Why are "Families distorted?" Perhaps because our Hetero-Centric society has ingrained the idea that anything, anyone or any way of living that strays from the "Nuclear family" ideal is therefore "wrong?"
Who here grew up in an "Ozzy and Herriatte" perfect family?
Who here grew up in a "Father Knows Best" or "Leave it to Beaver" type family?
NO ONE.
These family structures are a fantasy, they don't exist, they never have and never will.
There's no such thing as a "traditional" family structure.
It's all a made up fantasy the media constructed and all it's managed to do is make everyone compare all family structures to those images and deam any that don't match up as "distorted" or "wrong."
There are "so many negatives" because society places false images in our heads of what is the right way or wrong way to live.
Let me ask you, if a child's parents both die in some accident and are forced to be raised by some relative they barely know, is that a "perfect family structure?"
If a mother dies and the father is left to raise the children, is that a "normal" family structure?
What of step-families or single parents, foster parents or even adoptive parents?
Are these part of your definition of "normal" or "right?"
If so, then why do you discriminate against gay parents or gay children?
Nothing in life is ever perfect nor consistant.
"Normal" is a falicy constructed by modern media that is purely make believe.

well, among other things, the faact that some people wont accept it doesnt make it inherently wrong. Was it wrong to be black when most people wouldnt accept a black man in the family?
You need to just relax and let go of the hate.
Gay people are by and large what the rest of us are: some are good some are bad, most do bad things when no one is looking, thats called being human.
Homosexuality is an abberation in nature but ione that seems realtively common and may actualyl serve some sort of purpose. A stop gap in over population...some scientists have even therorized that large segments of gay men may actually contribute to societies armed forces at certain times in history allowing them to complete long and grueling years and war necc for the survival of that nation.
Okay, thinking of two men having sex is gross. For us. But then again, I dont really want to see ANY of my friends have sex, straight or otherwise.
Our brains are wired different. IF that were the basis of what constitutes good and bad, we'd all be screwed because we all have SOME wiring tat goes against the basic impulses of life. Some are downright self destructive.
What I would do if I were you, if you REALLY want to decide whether ornto you really cant accept gayness or gays, is volunteer at a gay health crisis center, just like giving out cookies or something.
If you really hate gays, or cant accept them, it comes to the same thing, this wont shake you.
But maybe youll talk to some and start justs eeing them as people.

Because homosexuality has only been considered ok for the past 35 years. Well structured research lead to the American Psychiatric Association to removing homosexuality from its list of mental disorders back in 1973.
A lot of the negative things you describe is caused by homophobia within society - which in itself, is based upon fear and misunderstanding.
1973 wasn't too long ago, and there are people still alive who lived through (and were brought up in) an era where homosexuality was a crime and mental illness. In fact, aversion therapy was available for homosexuality on the UK National Health Service up until the begining of the seventies. Also, homosexuality was decriminalised in the UK only in 1967.
It will take a while for general homophobia to die within society.

If I'd had hair like your avatar, my father would have shaved my head. We would have fought about it. Would that have made it wrong for me to have my hair the way I wanted it?
All families argue about all kinds of things. The fact that people argue doesn't make someone right or wrong.
Being gay is a natural orientation; it's not something anyone can change, and whether you like/dislike it, or fight with family members about it, there is nothing wrong with being natural.

So many questioners seem to believe in some kind of platonic ideal of human behaviour called normal. As humanity has gotten older (we've been round for about a million years or so) the idea of normal itself has come under fire. What is normal? In the UK there is a massive discussion going on about the full veil. The women who do it claim that it is their right, and indeed seem to be claiming moral superiority over other woman who do not cover their faces. For them the norm is complete coverage, a woman who bares her legs is not normal, she is to be condemned.
But if you think about it, did many human women in the savannah a million years ago drape themselves from head to toe in black.
The same arguments exist in Judaism, with the heimish claiming normality and insisting that everybody must be suitably attired (i.e. hidden) at the same time these people reject the conveniences of modernity.
Similar arguments are used by Christian sects: for example the rejection of blood transfusions, transplants, and vaccinations, because these are not normal.
Is it normal to have air-conditioning? Is it normal to sleep in a bed? Is it normal to dispose of your bodily waste into a vast network of water consuming underground piping? Is it normal to brush your teeth? Is it normal to use hair gel/lacquer/dye. Is it normal to fly through the sky, is it normal to sit in a smelly vehicle every weekend to visit your ma and pa who live 300 miles away?
Is sitting in front a computer and airing your thoughts to people who you've never met and are unlikely to do so normal?
Finally
I have read the bible and as far as I can remember JC said a lot about poverty and brotherly love, but not a sausage about homosexuality.

Are you for slavery, because that was an issue in America that we fought for. It drove America to a civil war, brother killed brother in that war. If we learn to accept people of all differences we would not be forced into wars.
When something is wrong and unjust we must fight for change, or else we continually live in a world where bigots, like yourself, want everything to stay the same. You might be happy, but millions are not. Change is inevitable, and must happen so people have a chance to grow and be accepted.

Actually "we" don't fight about the issue. It's people like you that walk in making grandiose statements that cause the problems.
There is nothing inconsistant about homosexuality, nor is it up to you to judge others lives that aren't affecting you at all.
Don't like homosexuals? Don't be one, it's that simple.
Just-ine understands THE problem, just not YOUR problem. You are the 24 year old with a Mohawk........

there are many more things that are fought over alot more than homosexuality. it isn't an inconsistant way of life what so ever. there are plenty of stright couples/families that are more distorted and inconsistant. I know cos i work with them............ your hair cut would ov caused controversy and arguements 50 years ago but it doesn't mean it's wrong.

If being bigoted and spewing hatred is normal and OK, why do we fight so much about this issue? It is a vile way of living. That way is simply wrong, and I'm against that.
