If it's a sin to be gay then why am I?

Question

I'm ready for the burn in hell answers here, so just be honest people, I am aware a lot of people in this world wish me harm / death for being gay, but why is it such a big sin or bad thing? people are always saying it's unnatural, so why was I born with these feelings / attractions? It wasn't a choice in fact like most gay men during my mid teens I was suiciadal because I did not want to be gay I did not want that life, but because it is not a choice I came to terms with the fact that I was gay and there was nothing I could do to change it, and to embrace it and face up to any homophobia that's out there. So why do you all make it so hard for gay peeple? Are you actually aware that many young gay people have killed themselves because of the abuse they have received, if it was a choice would you simply not become hetrosexual rather than risk losing your family, kill yourself, harm yourself, get abuse in the street etc etc?

Answer 1

i could never understand how hard it must be....God has to know how hard it is. No body can live up to the expectations of the bible. No one fits in 100%. Its way to much to live up to. I believe that you want what you want because someone made u that way. I had a best friend that was gay and he killed himself last year. He was the funniest most amazing person i knew. Its hard enough dealing with life as it is ...and its so easy to say well just dont listen. I just want you to know that not everyone feels that way. Not everyone hates just to hate. Just be strong even though its hard, the worse thing you can do is be someone your not.

Answer 2

Maybe it will help if you know why you are gay? And if many people learned why you are gay?

There are several theories as to why a person is 'born' gay. The most prominent I have read is a work by Simon Le Vay. He determined - through autopsy - that gay men and straight men have one single difference: the size of their hypothalamus (a gland in the middle of your brain and well known to be the source of sexual sitmulation in human beings). With gay men it is small and fluffy were as in straight men, it is solid and large. He repeated this experiment with lesbian and straight women and found the reverse. Straight women had small/fluffy gland were as lesbian has large/denser gland.
So hypothalamus size wise:
Gay men = Straight women
Lesbian women = Straight men

Following years of studies, he determined that this gland is developed before birth. When he examined pregnant mothers during period of pregnancy he found that this gland gets developed during the 6th month of pregnancy. If the mother body thinks she has a daughter, she would give Oestrogen (female hormone). If she thinks she has male son, she would give Testosterone (male hormone). For some un-explained reason, the mother would give the wrong hormone. Depending on how long this hormone is given, the child may come up as Bisexual, straight acting gay guy, camp gay guy, or in extreme cases transsexual (a person who believes he is in the wrong body!).

Research into how to determine why this switch happens has been blocked. From one side, the church and religious groups would not accept it (because this would mean centuries of prosecuting gay/lesbians was a crime but more importantly it is a serious shake to their belief). From the other side, gay groups have pressured government and other organisation not to proceed in such research because this would mean there is a way to eliminate gays from existence! Hosptial scans can determine if a mother has son/daugther and a simple blood test can deterimine what hormone the mother is giving. The latest work as done by an Italian scientist two years ago who tried to determine if the mother had a genetic differences that results in this switch and managed to find some correlation in that most mothers with gay/lesbian children had actually gay/lesbian brothers and sisters!

Those who wish you harm and say being gay is a sin do not know the facts- or when they read it they would prefer to look away! You cannot be very angry with them, they were brainwashed in that fashion and you will be surprised how many of them are actually bisexuals who just think because they have a choice, you should have one as well! And if you are wandering how a bisexual man/woman hypothalamus would look, well it is medium size/denisty, they got mix of hormones and thus they would like both!

I DO NOT understand the intolerance towards gay men or women. You can not help who you fall for, if you could then most people wouldn't be with the person their with. Seriously if it was actually a choice then ...Most men would chose to fall for women, most women for a man and you most certainly wouldn't chose to be with someone that physically or verbally abuses you.

I'm in a ten year relationship (with a man) but in my teens i fell for a woman does that make me abnormal? NO.

Personally I think that gay men/women that have come out are the strongest people in the world. They know their risking everything when they do, but why do they have to? I think sometimes people are more interested in prying into other peoples lives because they are not where they want to be in their own life.

I think you are a very strong person and admire you for being true to yourself.

My best friend of 17yrs is a gay man and i would be lost without him.

Answer 4

what is SIN? and in these modern times why does such a small word evoke so much emotion.
Sin lost its relevancy decades ago when it was revealed that the very people who proposed what was a sin were guilty of hypocrisy.
People do hate any body who is different from themselves, although maybe hate is too strong a word. Some do hate, but most are wary. It may be sexual preference, which team you support, the colour of your hair..............
And it is all stupid.
In this Topsy turvy world it is very hard to find a connection/ a true partner. And we are all searching for it... some are lucky to find that, but ignoring the part of you that reveals your true character... well in my mind that is a SIN.

Answer 5

If you mean "gay" in the sense of being a happy person...nah that's not sinful. If you mean "gay" as in I'm attracted to & sleeping around with some of the same sex...yep it's a sin. Read your Bible (Romans 1:24-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 1 Timothy 1:9-11, Jude 7). Don't worry I don't hate you, just the practice of homosexuality

Answer 6

I'm 100 percent Heterosexual but If its a sin to be Gay, then why are a huge percentage of Vicars and Priests active Homosexuals? If it was a sin, how could they "Cast the First Stone" to quote the Bible. I for one think that no one person or organisation can be judge to anyone else until they are also truly pure in their own eyes. Enjoy your life the way you like as you are as pure in body and mind as anyone. I know several Gay couples and they are very happy and comfortable with their sexuality in public. Persecution is the manifestation of a lack of understanding overridden by fear. Feel sorry for them for they are week in the understanding of their own sexuality.

Answer 7

Of course is not a sin. Where did you pick that crap? And since when do you even listen to what others say? Do they care how you are, how you feel? No? So, why then listen to them. I am studying in Holland and have met many guy m/f couples there - wonderful people, sometimes more normal than 'normal' people. Some of them the society can really be proud of. Head up. You are not allowed to whine, cause there's no reason to. ;)

Answer 8

I am a Gemini female I recognise my male side. Perhaps you are a male not in contact with your feminine side. It is not a sin to be gay, there are gay priests in the church . Just today there was news on TV re a female Bishop. My best friends have been gay males although i could never be a gay female. Live your life for you, stop worrying what people think thats their problem.

Answer 9

Being gay is NOT a sin. Those who bash and try to harm gay people are living in a world of fear and ignorance regarding the issue. Those are two of the reasons you asked for. There are many more just as unproductive. Live your life the way you are comfortable - after all, it is YOUR life and nobody else's. Keep your head held high, socialize in a safe environment and enjoy you for being you. I'm ashamed of the people who will not and cannot understand the gay community of people. Note: keyword; 'people' - not a different species - people!

Answer 10

It's NOT a sin! What is a "sin" anyway? Something that organized religion wants us to constantly feel bad about? To feel guilt instead of just accepting it the way it is? Everyone is different, yet the same. Being gay, the only difference is who you choose to have relations with, and that's no ones business but your own!
