Christians..... In what way does homosexuality affect you personally?

Question

Note: I am not asking you about what you think of homosexuals nor am I asking you what the Bible says nor am I asking you about anything regarding what homosexuals do.What I am asking is, how are you personally affected by homosexuals?

Have they entered your home and forced you to become homosexual?

Have they forced you to watch them doing "homosexual acts" in their bedroom?

On any given day, do they magically make you suddenly want to be homosexual through some sinister alien brain washing device?

Seriously, how are you PERSONALLY affected on any given day and more specifically during the course of your entire life by homosexuality?

I want you to give a really serious answer here.Really tell me how you are suffering from homosexuals?How are they making you live your own life concentrated on what they are doing?Is it TV?Well, turn the channel..Is it in school?There are private schools.So, what other ways do they affect you?

Answer 1

I have two really good friends who happen to be gay and in a LTR with each other--3 years! It has affected me by giving me two very supportive friends who have helped me through some very difficult times

Answer 2

Homosexuals, individually, don't affect me at all, I suppose. What affects me is the groups that ban together for, mainly, legislative purposes...just like gun rights groups or any other groups that try to get legislation passed. What I worry about is my children learning when they're young that being gay is alright (I'm sure that's the part you and I disagree on) because of the tolerance laws that have been instituted. They'll come home from school saying that being gay is alright because nobody is allowed to have a negative attitude towards it -- that's not being tolerant!! Well, screw tolerance, if it means that I have to accept what everyone else says is the truth.

Answer 3

Homosexual activity is an abomination by nature, and contrary to all the norms of society.

It serves to demean the entire human race, and the mere thought of a homosexual act tends to make most normal people sick.

There is no inherent value to be found in the performance of a homosexual act, so every time anyone is forced to witness, accept, or acknowledge such behavior, it constitutes a personal insult, as well as a direct attack on human dignity itself.

In that respect, blatant homosexual activity serves to effectively disturb the peace of society, and disturbing the peace has always been considered to be a prosecutable offense ... at least until recently.

When ordinary people are confronted with a continued and protracted offense against their morals and sensibilities, one which is also detrimental to the moral fabric of society itself, it absolutely does affect them personally.

I am personally offended by all homosexual behavior, and no one has the right to expose me to something that is offensive, on so many levels.

Keep your sins private.

Deal with them as you will, but don't try to make me accept them as normal, because then you would simply be adding insult to injury, by forcing me to acquiesce to a lie, as well.

That's why anything but "don't ask ... don't tell" will never work.

Hi, non-church-going Christian here. My faith is strong, and I am currently reading through the bible to make decisions about it for myself. I don't have a problem with anyone being gay. It sounds like someone has spoken on behalf of all Christians, and told you you're going to hell or something. Next time someone says they are Christian, and judges you for being gay, you tell them, "If you believe in God, then you know that He is the only one I have to answer to, and I doubt that your God would appreciate you impersonating Him by judging me and deciding my fate for yourslef".

Also I have to ask you this... it seems like you do not like to be judged and generalized for being gay. Not all gays do personally harmful things to Christians. In the same respect, not all Christians are bible beaters trying to shove Jesus down your throat. I personally get aggrevated with these "so called Christian" types... So why generalize me if you don't want me to generalize you?

I am strait. I have blonde hair, green eyes, 5'6" 130 pounds. I am lucky in the sense that I have never been told that I am a bad person just because of how God made me. But from the age 10 - 14, I had horrible horrible acne. Middle school was hell for me in a lot of ways. I heard the word ugly more than a few times. As an adult (now 27) I am thankful for having gone through the experience of people being brutally mean to me because of the way my face looked. It helped mold me into a very kind person that I am proud to be. Maybe that was a similar emotion to someone being brutally mean to you for being gay, maybe it isn't. The point of telling you that is.... take these hateful "Christians" as people who are going to make you a better person for having to deal with their ignorant judgemental comments. As long as you are happy with yourself, and who you are, then who gives a flying f*** what they think? =)

Answer 5

Questions I often ask.

The answers are usually not worth the effort of asking: prepare for a lot of "hate the sin, but love the sinner" crap.

It does make me laugh that some "christians" seem to be spending more time thinking about gay sex than most gay people do - and it is the SEX that they are obsessed with: they don't want to think about two people in a relationship based around love and mutual respect ... they are too busy obsessing about what we do with each other in bed.

Such sad people.


UPDATE FOR STEVE M:
Do you realise how silly your answer makes you sound? You obviously do not realise how disgusted some gay people are when heterosexual behaviour is jammed into our faces at every moment of the day. Heterosexuals do all that you accuse gay people of - and more - and much more openly.

I can't turn on the TV or watch a movie without running the risk of seeing some poor woman being mauled over by a man (I don't know whether to cry for those poor women, or be sick).

All people who think like you really do need to take a good look around the world in which we all live - open your eyes, and then open your minds.


UPDATE FOR LAST ENT WIFE:
Gosh, do you have to work at being so smug and self-righteous? or is it a gift?

Answer 6

I'll tell you how they have affected me personally, and I am not even really religious. People can pork goats for all I care as long as they do it in private. But when I turn on the television and see them prancing down the street like a bunch of freaks saying hey look at me I'm gay and I'm proud, or when I go to a city and have to see them slobbering and drooling over each other in the streets. Or when I go to a park and they're masturbating in the bushes. This affects me personally, and by the way, I am personally disgusted.

Answer 7

Well homosexuality does not affect me in any way. I do not care. However my question is, are you gay? If so cool you have a right to preach. If not why do you feel you need to defend the gay community. Certainly they do not need your defense, and I am sure they do not want it. Why shed light on private sexual buisness, after all nobody questions the straight people. And sorry dude above -every bible beater does not find it offensive, I am a bible beater and could care one way or another. Their you go again w/ your stereo types always assuming and thinking for yourself. Give it a rest most people really do not care about the issue you people dwell on! You really need to learn that.

Answer 8

MY goodness this has you upset! I guess the answer to all the above question is no, no, and no. I do not pick on them and I have a few friends who are homosexual. I do not tell them their lifestyle is wrong...I leave that to the HOLY SPIRIT to convict. Just as they do not point out all the things I do which are not what God wants me to do. I have to remove the plank out of my oun eye first....thank you

Answer 9

You tell me how you life is when homosexuals take over and every thing you do is affected by homosexuals. I have a problem with that. Take adopting babies. Take a great loving married man and woman. Say the woman is unable to have a baby and they wish to adopt. The adoption agency says they are the perfect couple for the baby they chose. WELL here comes a homosexual couple (doesn't matter if 2 males or 2 females) and they wish to adopt the same baby. Guess who is gonna get that baby???

Answer 10

I have a friend who is. And many at my church are and the choir director is too. All nice people. So I guess they affect me by making me free like an important child of God. Very caring folks. I do feel a bit uncomfortable when one male friend has a boyfriend and is a bit lovey dovey with him when I am around. You know .. like holding hands and stuff.. I feel kinda weird.. but that is just me. And doesn't happen all that often.

Answer 11

Well, to me, I feel very uncomfortable about homosexuality and it sends a shiver down my spine. I'm Christian but even if I'm not, I would still think it's weird and twisted. I'm just being very honest and frank.

I don't hate gay people if they leave me alone. They're the most creative people out there so that's all I respect about them actually.
