Homosexuality - All religious books say its wrong, even if you dont believe in God - Morally sleeping with the same sex is wrong. If it was right then homosexuals would beable to produce children but they cant. The act that gay men perform - i think sounds disgusting. Why do countries even allow gay couples to adopt - thier children will grow up thinking that its ok to be gay & thats the way life supose to be.
Why is the world glamourising being gay & making it sound cool?
Is it not strange that so many people are becoming homosexuals
Have people forgotten its a sin & wrong or do people in todays time just have no morals. I personally donot agree that its ok to be gay, I do not insult or be rued to gay people nor do i preach to them but if they do ask me if im ok with guys, i am honest & tell them that i think its wrong & I do not condone it at all. Alot of people say let them live their lives but if someone doesnt remind them its wrong - how will they know. what do you think?

I totally agree with you. I think it is being portrayed as something that people all over are doing ...why are we as society allowing it to be shown on television and just everywhere. I don't want my kids seeing that stuff. I am not a religious fanatic, but I do believe that if we were meant to be with the same sex, then we would be able to procreate with same sex, and that is just not possible. We were made the way we are for a reason. Experimenting as a child is one thing, but that was "justified" as a child trying to prepare for their encounters with the opposite sex....etc....or supposedly. Somewhere it went too far and now adults who never grew up are still experimenting and not coming back to reality. Marrying of gays...outrageous! Who could even contemplate such a thing? I mean, come on!

You say that if gay people weren't morally wrong then they would be able to produce their own children? How then do you rattify the fact that so many people who can have their own children abuse them in the most horrendous ways? Children of gay couples don't necessarily grow up thinking being gay is right, they grow up with an enormous amount of understanding of different people and cultures and show an understanding of this that seems to escape you. I also think that children that are adopted by gay couples are in the unique position of knowing that they are wanted, planned for and that they are not a commitment that is taken lightly. Also, it takes two straight people to make a gay one. Straight people can pop out babies left, right and centre, but gay people do tend to give it a lot more forethought than that. People don't become homosexuals, they are it. It's not becoming more common, people just feel more able to be honest about their sexuality in more (supposedly) enlightened times. Furthermore religious books say that lots of things are wrong, including things like wearing mixed fibres but that is put aside as a matter of convenience.

A: The bible and all these books are written and biased towards he morals of the time. Times change and the church should move with the times. However, some forward thinking vicars etc are ok with it so....
B: Why shouldn't children think it's ok that people are gay, in my view this creates a better undstanding and builds character. In schools everything is gay this and gay that and children can be very cruel so by changed the way they are educated this should hopfully reduce a lot of bullying etc as well as creating more understanding adults. Just because they are taught about same sex relations doesn't mean they will "become gay" as you so put it.
C: The world isn't glamorising it, it's simply trying to create a more accepting society and move with the times, racism, prejudice etc etc go from one thing to another, creating awareness is the best way to get people to adapt. By the looks of it you've a long way to go. If you mean TV shows then I think good on them, I remember a lot of shows where the mick was taken about gay characters, so why not have the reverse?
D: People are gay from birth they don't suddenly become gay, perhaps you may think that more people are coming out, which I woudl agree with but this could be because society is shifting where they feel it's safe to do so without riddicule and fear.
E: What is sinful and wrong about 2 people loving and expressing that love?
F: Remind me never to ask you what you think about homosexual couples!!

Really it is none of your business what people do. Work on your own relationship. Plus I dont think about what gays do sexually..so why are you??? If you are disgusted keep your opinions to yourself and leave them alone. As for them adopting...there are not enough people adopting these poor children so whats the problem??? Just cos they live with gays does that mean they will instanlty become gay?? You cant answer that yes because then the question would be how come a straight couples child can become gay? I have worked with gays and lesbians and got on fine with them. So move on and worry about how your relationship is going because if you delve into others lives you will find your boyfriend gone.

Well i guess you hit a nerve!! You ask the question, Why homosexuality?? Why not??
I agree to the point that an.al sx is not good. Physically it does serious damage to very necessary muscle control and isn't very clean.
Why not lesbianism?
I worked with a gay man who absolutely did not do an.al, there is more to love than that i was told. The bible says sodomy is forbidden, it doesn't say that loving a person of the same sex is forbidden. At the end of the day, what happens behind closed doors between two CONSENTING adults is no ones business but theirs..(unless the break the law of course).
So, that being said who are we to judge what is right or wrong?

Morally sleeping with them is wrong? All books say that? Well you must not have read a lot of books....I suggest you read ancient civilizations book..like roman and greek...there is a lot of homosexual activity.
Besides the point since the inception of the human race we have had 10% of the population which are attracted to members of the same sex...it is genetic..meaning that is how they were made to be. Since that is a fact not opinion that means God is ok with it..which means you are trying to dictate to God what is right and wrong...which is the sin of pride and if I remember correctly about the same thing Satan did to cause the war for the throne.
So since all proof shows you on same path as Satan why should I follow your morals?
Oh and the cannot produce children...fine but do you think being sterile is also a sin..straights who cannot have children should be banned from marriage and sleeping together too right? According to your child logic it would be a yes.
People are not "becoming" homosexual..they are born that way and it has become easier for them to come out into the open where they belong not locked into a 3rd class citizen closet like America tried with blacks after they were freed. Also since the population has increased and 10% is gay..that would mean more gays as well as straights

Being gay, transsexual or anything else is not a choice. I answered a similar question yesterday:
While the XX and XY genders are the most common, you also get people that 'suffer' from Turner Syndrome (X - no second X or Y), Klinefelter's Syndrome (XXY), and XYY syndrome. On top of that you've got various levels of androgen insensitivity to deal with, from us normal transsexuals, to fully androgen insensitive people who are born female, but are actually genetically male. They just never became male because their bodies don't react to the androgens released into the womb. Your sexual orientation and gender identity is determined by the structure of the hypothalamus, and it's been shown to differ significantly when comparing homosexual or transsexual people to heterosexuals. In all cases, the hypothalamus is structurally more similar to the opposite gender. Now I ask, with tears in my eyes, how can you judge somebody for a biological difference - that's like blaming people for being born short or something!
Sexuality and gender are infinitely more complex than the surface shows. The sooner we all realise that, the happier we will all be. Pseudo-religious guilt-trips have oppressed us all for far too long.

Oh for Gods sake, I just got rid of Veronica K by reporting her about a million times-don't say I'm gonna have to do it again. I'm not gay, but I understand that it's not something people choose and many have to really work through it not to be ashamed. It takes huge courage to stand up in this world for what you are and be proud. My best friend took years to tell us he was gay and thought we would hate him, although he knew we weren't homophobic or bigoted in any way, he was still convinced we'd reject him.
You've been clever in not making your question abusive but you are the child who hits then hides his hand. Not brave enough to say what you think really. Read your bible- it's not a sin. Greed is a sin, to take a life is a sin, there are 10 Commandments, but after these, Jesus said I am the way and the light. He also said love thy neighbour. I'm not religious either but it's amazing what you can learn if you open your mind.
People like you have no right to come on forums like this and voice your nasty opinions. They have no place in todays world and you surely don't expect everyone to say "Oh yes, you're right, I am disgusting. Thanks for pointing that out."
Now go away as you are horrible and I don't like you.

Why, if i am not religious, should i be judged by your morality? I think i have a very good sense of what is right and what is wrong, and i don't think you or anybody else have the authority to tell me that my lifestyle is wrong. And people don't "become" gay, how many times do we have to tell you people it's not a choice!!! I think if you read a bit more into science, religion and philosophy then you'd realise that a) organised religion is bullshit b) you have no real understanding of the universe and the meaning of life and c) your mums a fat trollop.
take care and open your eyes!

I'd like to answer your question with a question.
Do you dislike homosexuals and what they do because of religious doctrine or do u dislike it for personal reasons?. I'm a straight male by the way but I don't disapprove of homosexuals or what they do. Do you feel the same about lesbianism too? or is it acceptable to you because ,as far as I'm aware, the Bible doesn't say it's a sin.
I apologise if you think I'm being hard on you but I don't like it when people have a go at something or someone based on religious doctrine linked to a God who has never been proved to exist and the church are the biggest bunch of hypocrites going anyway. Gay priests i assume must put you in a real dilemma.

Thanks for your opinion. However, I am 53 and if I married a man I would not be producing children, the plumbing quit 5yrs ago. I am bisexual, have been all my life. I've been with men and found it unsatisfying. I've been with women and found the same. I am now with my soul mate, my life partner and the person who completes me, and she happens to be a woman.
While your ego lets you believe that you are responsible for telling everyone what is right and what is wrong, that is erroneous.
I don't have to justify my love to anyone but the person I love. You should take a lesson from a very great Lady, now passed on. MYOB.
