can that be when they are homosexual and I am heterosexual? Clearly that's a difference right there, also all people (except twins and triplets and quadruplets and so forth) are different, and therefore groups of people are likely to be different from other groups of people and individuals, so why do people simply say things like that instead of giving a rational answer to a really earnest question...?

Of course every person is different. Groups of people will differ from other groups of people, but then the people contained within those groups will vary as well. We all have different strengths, weaknesses, hopes, fears, joys, etc. Obviously being homosexual is different than being heterosexual. I imagine the person who gave you the answer that we are the same was trying to make the point that we are all human and that is what binds us together. As humans we all deserve the same rights and we all deserve treatment that is respectful and without hate.

It does not matter whether you are "Heterosexual", "Gay", "Lesbian" or "Polyamory". These are just Ways, through which each of us learn to not only love each other, but most important of all to "learn to love ourselves".
For when we can truly love ourselves, then we can truly love others the way they would like us to love them. Basically it is about respect for all beings, and firstly respect for self.
Twins / Triplets / Quads - etcetera - are different in personality, although they may look the same, and be treated the same.
Every single person on the planet is a unique individual, and all are loved equally by God. God is "Unconditional Love" (love without conditions). Therefore no matter what you do God will always love you - just like a mother loves their child no matter what the child does.
I am a disciple of the Second Coming Of The Christ aka The Maitreya. I am here to change myself, and in so doing show others that if they so choose ( they may like to follow the guidelines that I follow), and be able to know a more peaceful, pain-free life like I live.
The self-realisation path that I follow has guided me to "Let Go" of certain aspects of myself (give back to The Creator). For those ways of being no longer serve me. I no longer need to have those things in my life (eg. fear, anger, judgement, guilt, etc.). I no longer need those negative characteristics within me.
As a result of "Letting Go"(Surrender) I now live in a place of constant Joy and Happiness which words cannot describe.

I will try to give you my rational answer and I did read your other question. When you talk with a gay person, you don't consider their sexual orientation. For example, If I am talking to the guy who does my yardwork, I am not thinking about if he likes men or women. I just talk with him. His sexual orientation is of no consequence to me. I just answered your question and have no idea what your sexual orientation is (well, I might have some idea) but the point is, I didn't have to stop and think how do I talk to you...as a heterosexual or a homosexual?
That is why most people answered no different and others were ..well, stirred up to say the least. Hope this helps....

OK everyone is different. Shouldnt u be asking "how do I talk to another person?" instead of "how do I talk to someone gay?"
The point is that you think that gay people are from another planet and there should be a different approach towards them.
You have answered your own question anyway.
Yes there are differences, it doesnt mean that you should have a certain way for every indivudual thus different.
How would you talk to a left handed person?
Mr Knowitall, I respect your opinion, but
1. Gay people cannot sya whatever they want; where did you hear that? If we say something about black people for instance we are as bad, and we should obviously be as bad.
2. The Bible is something you believe at, its not a fact, it is not proven to be true, so keep it for yourself. You dont have to go around saying your rather hateful opinion. Its like gay people going around saying that being straight is stupid and everyone should be gay cos our agenta says so. I dont believe in the bible and god so there, give me another arguement.

Dude, don't get into the gay thing, way too many people get very defensive and protective of them and it causes too much friction and your question will be removed and you may even be banned. Your question was good and not confrontational at all, but it does not matter to all the fag hags and "open-minded" people. How come gays can say anything they want and they seem to be under an umbrella of protection, but if normal people say something about them, they are haters. I don't hate them, just their ways and lifestyle are abnormal. Yes, I said it, it is not normal and against the Word of God, get a Bible and read it for once.

Don't complicate this issue -- some would have you believe it is a choice -- it is no more a choice to be gay then it is for you or others to be straight. People who are bigoted against gays have been taught to hate or dislike them just as people of color were/are hated today. Some people have a need to place others below who they think they are-- for some reason gays have been the target and probably will be for years to come. The true test for humanity is not who we love but how we love. The only way gay people are different then straight people is --who they love.
And who is to judge that? Not me.

Being homosexual and the same as being heterosexual. His desire for wanting same sex partners is the same as your desire for wanting opposite sex partners.
Their feeling and desire is within their inner self and therefore cannot be just changed forcibly by any means possible.
Would you picture forcing yourself to love someone of the same sex? (If you're a heterosexual)..

What they mean is that everything you feel toward the opposite sex (everything), they feel toward the same sex. The same type of emotions, the same affection, the same sexual needs, the same joy in physical closeness and companionship. The only difference is the object of their desires. The mechanics of sex is only an accommodation to the "equipment" available.

In that gays and straights are human beings with hopes, desires, families and a desire to thrive, we ARE all the same. There are degrees of "sameness," which is a subjective concept to start with. We are all the same in the most significant ways...

what the sane basically means that we all bleed red. We are all human and the same inside.
The personality differences are something else, we are all different then each other, its all about the influence in our lives
