Does the homosexual community resent individuals that believe homsexuality is a choice?

Question

Are these individuals considered closed-minded and intellectually inferior?

Answer 1

People can hold whatever beliefs they want.

When they demean, hurt and insult others in a public forum, it becomes hate speech, which is NOT protected under the Constitution, and is prosecutable. Such speech has been shown to foment violence.

I resent people who commit hate speech.

Does the homosexual community resent individuals that believe homsexuality is a choice?

I can't speak for the community anymore than you speak for all straight people. With that in mind, I will answer you as one man. Yes, I do resent people who claim being gay is a choice. I often find it quite funny actually that people who are not gay somehow have the ability to declare they are sure people choose to be gay. How would they know? I'm not a woman so I would not dare to presume to tell a woman what it's like to be one. I am not black and I wouldn't presume to tell a black man what it is to be black. So why do straights presume with us?

Are these individuals considered closed-minded and intellectually inferior?

I personally do feel they are intellectually inferior and ironically, that belief is one of the reasons I don't consider them closed-minded. Like being homosexual, people who are intellectually inferior can't help be who they are. I sincerely pity them really, because they can never be open to other possibilities or experiences, they are trapped by their own intellectual baggage or rather the lack of any intellect at all.

Answer 3

to some people, it might feel like a choice.. myself included.. because i'm bi, at first i thought i was gay and that i liked the odd girl.. so i figured it must've been a choice thing.. but 2 years on i've got a loving boyfriend, i'm quite happy with him, and i still get aroused by females as much as males.

i don't think its a choice.. just some people are a little more bi-ish than gay.. but either way the idea of the whole thing is to be open to all opinions, we don't tell people to accept, we ask for tolerance.

just as i respect that there are some people that believe in christianity over atheism and evolution, and that some people just think homosexuality is "eww", i respect that, it's there beliefs.

what i DONT stand for are people that go about spreading hate and being close minded, because thats about as wrong as you can get with me.

if you take 1 + 1 and come up with 2, shoving it in peoples faces, i'll dislike you.

if you take 1 + 1 and come up with 1 or with 4, and respect that thats what you think and everyones opinion is, i'll respect you just the same even if my opinion differs ( i mean, everyone knows 1 + 1 is 11 xD)

respect others in turn for others respecting you, stop the hate.

Answer 4

I would say they are inferior, I would use the word ignorant. Because they don't understand we did not make a choice to gay. If we had the choice to be considered less like human beings by being different, I don't think anyone would choose to be seen that way. So I would say if you really believed gay people made a choice to be gay, you are ignorant, and need to be around gay people to better understand them/us.

Answer 5

I was reading a web comic the other day and one character (gay) was talking to his brother (str8) who was giving his a hard time for being gay. The gay character said something along the lines of “I chose to be gay, and if you can’t respect that then shut up.” It bothered me that he claimed to have chosen to be gay. I remember when I was first realizing that I was gay. I would have done anything not to be gay. I prayed I begged God every night not to be gay. I hated myself so much, almost to the point of suicide, definitely past the point of self mutilation. And this fictional character made it seem like it was no big thing, “What the hell why not be gay?” when it really is a big deal. … but then I realized that just because this was my experience it doesn’t mean it was every ones. There could easily be bisexual people out there who can choose. And for them it is a choice. If so, more power to them.

hey i am not sure weather homo-sexuality is a choice or something you are born with. I have seen female friends choose to be with women just because they were not being satisfied by men , and i have been friends with a guy who has always in my eyes been gay. I dont think that it matters though and we must just let people live their own lives. i really dont care who the next person sleeps with as long as they are not hurting anybody. Too many people are always screaming morals and the church. Not to long ago it was ok to shoot a black man who wanted freedom , not to long ago it was ok for a man to beat his wife. cant you see like all things we neeed to adapt and grow with compassion

Answer 7

I don't resent anyone but what I can't stand is closed minded people who won't listen to what we have to say. No one chooses to be homosexual in any terms of the word it just part of who you are and what makes you happy, thats all that matters.

Answer 8

I think for the most part, the homosexual community doesn't spend their time and energy thinking about those people as much as those people spend thinking about the homosexual community. They answer (sometimes in defense) when a question is asked about it, but I doubt the spend any time before or after that dwelling.

Answer 9

honest answer. sometime, in the time of P&W prepare, right here question grow to be provided. "could you be ok if an overtly gay guy or woman got here to our provider and sat on the pew next to you." One woman responded thusly, "gay's are an abomination and could visit hell. i do no longer choose them close to me or my kinfolk and so some distance as i'm worried, i wish AIDS gets all of them." Blew me away. there grow to be a question approximately how Jesus dealt with people who have been abhored through others, and that if we are to try to be like Jesus, we could desire to consistently settle for that guy or woman into our fold. it incredibly is thru love we can help others. regrettably, extra Christians experience the comparable because of the fact the 1st woman...unhappy isn't it?

Answer 10

Coming from a straight gal with a gay nephew, I can tell you that saying homosexuality is a choice is like saying you get to choose your eye color. Being gay is tough in our current society with many political, legal & religous issues harming the gay community. Why would anyone choose to be in a group that is threatened & denied equal rights?
