We're not talking about homosexual rights. We're talking about homosexuals as individuals.
How do you feel? How do you treat someone once you find out s/he is homosexual?
This is your OWN opinion--you cannot use religion to prove how you feel. You HAVE to use your own opinions. Don't hide under your books of faith to avoid the question, just answer it simply...
If you were approached by a same-sex couple, how would you react and why?

Actually I asked this question because I'm sick of people hiding behind a Bible to say "OMG! I HATE HOMOSEXUALS!"
Personally I find that we're treating homosexuals like we treated African Americans in the 50s--if you're homosexual, you're just not welcomed...because you're a homosexual.

As individuals... What does it matter? I know a lot of people I like being around. Talk with. Laugh with. Party with. Have a very long and close relationship with. I don't know what all of them do in the privacy of their own home and bed with another consenting adult. So why should it matter just because I "do" have a better idea about what the gay/lesbian person does within the confines of that same privacy? It didn't matter when Jerry pulled me out of a burning helicopter in Vietnam... then ten years later in Germany, had dinner with me... as a very beautiful woman named Jenny. When my first son died... people came out of the woodwork to be supportive of us and console us and mourn with us. Didn't matter if they were gay or straight. (Or otherwise)
Consider a person for how they are. How they treat you.
Besides. Would people like you if they knew what "you" like to do at home in bed with your playmate? If it's "you" (whom ever reads this) people are considering solely on the basis of how you like to get your goodies. You think it would be fair, you think you'd feel good about it if they decided you were doo-doo "just" because of that?
Live well. Be happy and blessed all who read this. Walk the path of your life with tolerance, compassion, patience, understanding, and mercy for those you meet.
Some love wouldn't hurt either.
My wife and I have many friends who are same-sex couples.
Onanism. Should that be considered a same-sex relationship?

I treat homosexuals like anyone else I meet...
Homosexuals are humans too! Also I have been brought up not to accept homosexuals due to my religion, I believe you have a choice and its up to you!! I'm not going to judge you on your sexuality!
If a same-sex couple approached me, I was treat them as anyone else!!
(I have gay family members and friends, I love them very much despite their sexual preference!)

I treat gays and lesbians just like I treat anybody else - if you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you, if your a jerk to me, I'll be a jerk to you. People are people, no matter who they love - some are good, some are bad, most are somewhere in between.
The same would apply if I was approached by a same sex couple - if they were nice to me, I'd be nice to them, if they were rude to me, I'd be rude to them, just the same way I'd be to a straight couple.
The only time I might be a little upset if if a gay man approached me looking for a date - and even then, if he asked nicely, I'd politely tell him sorry, I'm straight, and I don't date men. If he asked rudely, I'd rudely tell him to step off, I don't swing that way.

I would treat people on an individual basis.
Each person must be judged on their own merits.
When a hetero couple approaches me, I don't automatically think of what they do in bed. Why would I think about the intimate life of a gay person?
What people do in private, or whom they fall in love with is not my business, nor should it be something I think about to make a judgement of their character

I'm bi. Once I found out my girlfriend was a lesbian, I was surprised at first, but have been going out with each other for two years, so can't be all bad, I guess.
Once I find out someone else is a homo, I'd treat them as I treated them before (Whether I liked them as a person or not).
If I was approached by a same-sex couple, it wouldn't bother me unless they asked for a threesome (I cheated on girlfriend once, learnt to NEVER EVER do it again!)
As far as I'm concerned, homos are people just as much as bis, straights or trans folk.

100% in favour! And none of my gay friends are bigots who preach intolerance and discrimination in the name of religion!

They're GGRRREEEAAAT! They're humans, they're your neighbors, your friends, your sisters, your brothers, your aunts, uncles, coworkers, classmates... they're people, so they should be treated as such.
