Should being gay be illegal? If so, Why?

Question

Personally, I am fine with gay people, and gay marriage.

Answer 1

No, but acting upon it should be. No one will know unless you say so or do it. It is sick, filthy, perverted, disgusting, abomination that will land you in hell and have you die early. Leviticus call for the stoning of gays. It is an unnatural act.

Answer 2

You can't choose whether you want to be gay or not, some people are born like that and some people are not...its not like a sheet of paper is stuck in front of you when you are born that has 2 little boxes that say: Please tick--- a) Gay b) Straight.
In the american constitution it says "all people have the right to LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS."
If being gay is how you want to lead your LIFE, then everyone should give you LIBERTY to PURSUE YOUR HAPPINESS.
There is nothing wrong with being gay, and I despise the people who think that being a homosexual is sin or something . Because that is just plain stupid.
So in no way should being gay be made illegal.

Answer 3

Contrary to what some ignorant bigots would have you believe, being LGBT is not illegal in ANY state in the US. Nor is the particular sexual practice of sodomy, whether performed by an LGBT couple or a straight couple.

LGBT people and straight people are made that way by God. This does not change from birth, and is not a "choice." Would you have a particular eye color or handedness become a crime as well? Those are also innate human variations.

Come to think of it, people used to think left-handed people were born of the devil, and inherently evil. This is about the time that they hung "witches." It would take a really warped person, in my opinion, to call it 'progress' if we returned to such a state.

Of course I am fine with give the same marriage rights to all unmarried people of age who choose to marry another person. After all, equality of rights is in the US Constitution.

Answer 4

NO, NO and did I say NO, it should not be illegal to "be" anybody, black, white, pink, purple, gay, lesbian, fat, short, etc. We live in a strange world that we would actually put down on paper laws a certain way you HAVE to or SHOULD be according to whom???? A ton of old (one foot in the grave) groonies who have run this country like a bunch of drunken sailors. What gives them the right to say who we can be??? And YES, YES and did I say YES it should be perfectly NORMAL to be gay and want to marry, or adopt, etc. Any one who is different out of the worlds book of hoyal is WRONG, how wrong is that???? We have a lot of changing to do in this world before we all get right and its going to take lifetimes that we all don't have left before it does, if it ever (sadly enuf') does!!

Answer 5

Yes of course! Personally I feel the pressure to suppress yourself, hide yourself, and change yourself to conform to the standards of society around us is not sufficiently high. Rather than have to constantly worry "Am I normal enough? Do I fit in with every aspect of my hair, dress, manner; do I say all the right things and never give any hint of an idea that I'm not 100% sure is going to be acceptable to those around me?", I would like it if the state just TOLD us exactly how we should live our lives, down to the most minute detail. Offenders who resisted complying with standards should be be killed immediately, because anyone who doesn't make the fullest effort to blend in completely with the minority must therefore be against it. After all, there is no happiness outside the hive collective, is there #45501?

Answer 6

No! Being gay should not be illegal. A person should be able to do what ever they want to....this should be included in the Bill of Rights.....the people's rights....it's so crazy that someone would want to illegalize being gay, being gay is who i am, who i want to be! Question: should being strait be illegalized? No? Well being gay souldnt either!!

~Cori~

Answer 7

In 2003, the US Supreme Court ruled that sodomy laws are unconstitutional, and so gay sex (not being gay) became legal in all states. I celebrate this.

Being gay (having an attraction toward members of one's own gender) is impossible to legislate against because one never knows whether one is having certain thoughts.

Any efforts to criminalize homosexuality is an effort to impose a religious theocracy on the country, because there is no victim in sex between any two consenting adults.

Answer 8

Only if being straight is also illegal, as it makes just as little sense.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! Of course, that's written, and not even followed, by man anyway. My God, and Goddess gave me rights at birth that society continually violates.

Answer 9

What sex acts take place between two consenting adults is no body's business but theirs. At one time any type of sex between heterosexual people except the missionary position was considered sinful and illegal. Since this was unenforceable these laws went by the wayside.

If people would mind their own business about other people's sexual preferences, they would have all they could do.

Answer 10

Hec no. If being gay is illegal, then being black or white or jewish or christian or whatever is a person is should also be illegal. No goverment has the right to dictate an induviduals life.
