That is not true. I worked with a man for 3 years in the Army who was gay. John was my friend then and If I run into him again I will treat him the same as the rest of my old Army buddies. Just because we believe the lifestyle is wrong don't mean we hate the people.

Well personally if I see something written by someone who thinks something that is a Part Of Me is wrong I am already on guard. It's because that statement is usually followed by some fire and brimstone aimed at me as a person. It's usually not the beginning of an open and honest discussion about different opinions among two equally good people. Because after all, if a part of what I am is wrong, how can it ever be an equal conversation?
I mean really, if a person thinks that something that I Am is wrong, how can they truly like and accept All of me.
It's kind of like me saying "I think blonde hair is wrong." And I go through college with some good friends and we're all brunettes and we have a great time. Then at graduation I find out that one of my friends has really been dying her hair all that time. She's really a blonde and I didn't know it. Hmmm. Well then does my friend feel like I really am a friend? Like I really do like and accept her? Or is she always going to remember that I said blonde hair, something that is a part of her and will never go away, is wrong?
Anyhow, I think it's cool that you want to think about these things. Good luck to you! :)

it type of appears like you're affirming, "i'm not a huge fan of homosexuals, yet i'm not prejudiced." this is an oxymoron, dude. once you've an attitude that singles out those who you don't like in accordance to their sexual decision, then you truly are, in element of truth, prejudiced, and also you'll be categorized a bigot. on the different hand, you're allowed to be. no human being is preventing you. it remains your ideas, and also you're allowed to imagine the way you opt for. the in elementary words element that well mannered society asks is that you do not attempt to smash absolutely everyone's existence because of your human being beliefs. some gay each and anybody is born that way, others opt for it, although this is been shown (even in different species) that there is mostly a chemical reaction interior the mind that causes homosexuality. so a techniques as homophobia, perhaps you're accurate - perhaps that is nature, and by no skill nurture, that finally ends up in it, although this is nonetheless frequently hateful, and it remains frequently practiced with techniques from those who do not comprehend what that is they're battling hostile to, who're ignorant, and are unwilling to benefit. i do not comprehend if i am going to purchase that prejudice is a few thing that any one is born with, by way of the undeniable fact that is a discovered trait that falls alongside some very predictable demographic lines. so that you're only going to ought to attend to the criticism for what you're - a closed-minded human being who's only searching for techniques to confuse the issue somewhat than accepting that even with God you think in also made those human beings, and loves them only as a lot as He/She loves you. Given the alternative between accepting gay human beings and accepting homophobes, i am going to section with the gay human beings. even as's the severe time you heard of a gay human being committing a hate crime? Or hazing someone for not being gay? yet they get it performed to them somewhat a lot each and each and every of the time.
