Ok I realize it says in the Bible that it is not ok for man to lay with man...which verse is that? Oh and if the Bible says it isn't right why would God create gay people to be sent to anywhere bad. People who are gay are born that way...it would be like saying because you have dark brown skin your going to hell so as I believe God doesn't make mistakes. Why would God create anyone to condemn them?

One must always remember the Bible was written by the hands of MEN, human hands, hands that are JUST as likely to be persuade by sin, temptation and evil as any other hands!
One must also remember that in the original texts, languages, in which the books of the Bible were written, there were no words which meant the same thing we know as "homosexuals" today. Every time the word "homosexual" or "homosexuality" appears it has been placed there in translation AFTER 1800 when the word "homosexual" was invented by a German psychologist.
One must also remember that women were seen as lower in the family hierarchy than the family dog! So, if a man lowered himself to the same position as a woman he was seen as being lower than a dog!
One must also read the Bible carefully and remember that NOT ONCE is a COMMITTED, LOVING, monogamous gay/lesbian relationship EVER seen or shown. NOT ONE!
One must then ask themselves why this is.
Again reminding themselves that the Bible was written by MEN! Men who were usually afraid of anything different or foreign...XENOPHOBES!
Then put your Bible down and look around you and see reality!
Loving, committed relationships between gays and lesbians happen all the time!
We are not simply temple prostitutes or idolaters worshiping Pagan gods through sexual practices.

As Bette said on this issues on The L Word - I am your own creation.
I believe that God makes us the way he wants us. I think that if we are gay we are gay. I think if he makes the other people ignorant that they are meant to be ignorant.

Yea. . good point. It also says in the bible that alcohol, drugs, masturbation, gossip are all moral sins yet people engage in those everyday. They just need to get over it.

I think we are perfectly fine the way we are...I have no problem with somebody calling me weird because I have learned to accept who I am. I am sure millions of people agree with me.
