There is a difference between not liking something or someone and bad mouthing something or someone.
Everyone is entitled to thier own opinion and, in America especially, it's something that is held high. No one can tell ANYONE how to think and no one should. Aside from it being an invasion of your personal rights it's an invasion on your beliefs.
A lot of people feel homosexuality is wrong because it's what they believe whether the reasons stem from upbringing, religion, various outside influences, or it may just look odd seeing two people of the same gender being affectionate with one another. Whatever the reason may be they are there and no one can change them. We all have our own minds for a reason. It'd be boring, to say the least, if we all had the same taste in music, art, movies, ect.
There is a difference though, between having your opinion and negativly voicing it. If you like Country music are you going to make fun of people that like rap? No, because you're more mature than that. If someone prefers chocolate ice cream but you like vanilla, are you going to be mad if they ask you why you don't like chocolate ice cream? No, because it's just a question, what that person likes doesn't affect you.
As silly as these comparisons are they make sence to a degree. I understand that people don't agree with homosexuality, that's fine, you're respected for what you think by me. I'm not going to try and force my point of view on anyone because I wouldn't want it done to me. Opinions are needed. Negativity isn't. As long as you're not going up to people and calling them a f@g you're fine. It's the people that continouslly go into these areas and make nasty comments and say hurtful things that bother everyone. You have to understand a lot of people here are defensive, we have to be. It's terrible and it ruins things for everyone else who isn't mean, just has a different opinion. That's all it is, an opinion, and more people should realize this.

You are absolutely allowed your own opinion - It's when the opinion is used to incite fear or hatred in others, or to discriminate against people that it becomes a problem and the terms homophobe and bigot get thrown around. I'm not saying that's happened here at all - they get used widely without proper thought in my opinion.
I am friends with people who don't agree with homosexuality, but it doesn't stop them considering me a friend - it's just a small part of my life.
If you're comfortable with the opinion, then so be it - I'd recommend that regardless of the opinion though that if you ever get the chance to become friends with a gay guy or girl, give em the benefit of the doubt and look at them as a complete person and see how your opinions develop as a result.

What exactly is your question? If you don't agree with homosexuality then don't engage in any homosexual behavior. Concentrate on your own life and leave other people alone. Just to come in here and simply voice your opposition suggests to me that you have some issues. I don't know if you're a religious zealot or a paranoid closet queen or just a nosy person who likes to shove their opinions down other people's throats and tell others how they should live their lives. Get a job, a hobby, a life and stop sticking your nose into other people's lives.

I don't know if I have seen any of your other questions. I know people who do not agree with the way I am but merely agree to disagree. Others are hateful and cruel. If you belong to the first category, then there is nothing wrong. You might catch any of us on an "off" day where we might get annoyed. If you are among the true haters, then you will receive something of what you dish out.
Be caring and hopefully we will be the same.
Best wishes, Rose P.

your question makes no sense. So your a homophobe is that right? And you want someone to tell you it is ok to be that way? And you ask in the LGBT section? i think basically you just want to cause trouble - and are not doing it very well. you write the question in a very hard to read and understand way.
i do hope your not seriously thinking someone is going to tell you that it's OK to be a bigot - not unless they are one too.
But i will say if that's how you feel - so be it - but if you expect to be able to throw your opinion around then you better be able to take others opinions back.
Why should we have to listen to you and allow you to say whatever you want and we have to shut up - cause it might offend you? i don't think so.

You are entitled to your opinion but it is phobic. Homosexuality biologically speaking may not be a choice, but given a choice you can simply say that it is not for you, nor me for that matter. What I fail to undertsand is why you feel it is not right for someone else, who is homosexual, and who chooses to live with their lover; what difference does it make to your life and your choices? Does it keep you from being straight? Does it stop you from eating breakfast in the mornings? Does it keep you up at night thinking about what those homosexuals are doing to each other in the comfort of their bedrooms behind closed doors? Why exactly do you believe it is something for you, me, and other heterosexuals to judge?

You have a right to your opinion. I wonder though if you have been called these things, maybe the way you say things is too harsh. Just because you feel a certain way wouldn't give you the right to be hateful.

I am not picking on you, I am not denying you your feelings, etc. I AM asking why you would come to a section that is intended for Gay and Lesbians to state your cause. I do not go to Romance, etc. Marriage and Divorce, and tell people I think they are out of their minds to get married....it is not my place to do that, nor am I going to.
Nobody is forcing their lifestyle down your throat. I don't understand why you feel compelled to view your feelings about gays in their section...live and let live. ... that goes both ways.

having an opinion and voicing your opinion in a bigoted manner are 2 different things. How some one else lives their life means sweet FA to your life, so if you don't want to live a gay lifestyle then don't, but its not up to you to judge what is right or wrong or tell some one that what the are doing is wrong when it bares no consequence to your life.
***opinions are like a*se holes mate, every one has one but that doesnt mean we want to hear them***

Hate speech is not protected by the Constitution and can get you arrested. It doesn't matter if it is racial, or about national origin, or sexual orientation - it's all bad.
If you much have bigoted, homophobic opinions, keep them to yourself. Then you won't get in any trouble.
In fact, Miss Manners and other etiquette experts would tell you that criticizing other people in public is extremely rude.
