If you were in a serious accident or dying, would you let a gay or lesbian nurse, doctor, EMT, surgeon, hospital laboratory worker, or pharmacist help save your life?

every person whether gay or not are sinners. The only difference is if they are saved or not- if they are not saved what does that have to do with medical treatment. This is a ridiculous question. I am a Christian yes, and gay lifestyle is only one sin among many that need the salvation of Christ. I heard about a "Christian" doc that refused to treat a baby in an clinic due to the fact that the mom had tatoos. Now that is ridiculous. That is a Christian that is not living by Jesus' standards. By the way, gay docs, nurses do not announce their sexuality when you go through the doors of a hospital so probably would never know their lifestyle. And if I did that would not stop me from wanting treatment. Grow up!

Hmmm... I'm not sure.. are they also Atheist?...
Hahahahahahaaaa! Just kidding!!!
I don't believe being homosexual has anything to do with whether you are a good nurse, doctor, EMT, surgeon, etc.. but don't ask me to support their lifestyle when I believe it to be immoral (but then I believe that just living together without marriage is immoral too).

We're only against homosexuality because the "Word of God" (which we ALL know is infallible and everlasting) says that such practises are an "abomination". The problem is, that it is ALSO "an abomination" to eat shellfish. My question is - which is the greater Sin - being Gay or eating a prawn? Do we get to "burn in hell" for a longer or shorter period if we choose Oysters over same-sex partners?
Oh, by the way, in the very same Bible, we aren't allowed to have Tattoos or Piercings, or wear a watch, or cut our hair, or have a blemish or a wart, or be crippled or disabled, or.....
Its tough being religious, but that's the way it HAS to be, eh?

Personally, I tend toward a slight bit of suicidalness, but yeah, I wouldn't care what they were sexually anymore than I do that the doctor might have been disobedient to his parents, or a fornicator, or a liar, or disrepective of his parents, whatever. Sin's sin. It's all sin. We all sin. We're all sinners. If you've got a MD, I'm happy to accept your services, just don't overcharge me for being straight.

If I was in a serious accident, I probably would not know who was helping me,, and by the same token, if someone else was in an accident, I generally wouldn't yell to them:
"Hey, I want to help you, but you need to tell me you're not gay!".
Give me a damn break..........

You can't be serious. What kind of question is this. Christians believe the bible is the word of God. The bible says that engaging in a life of unrepentant homosexuality is sin. Why do you keep blaming Christians for what God has ordained as sin?
Excuse me but...this question is just trying to stir up trouble!

That's like saying if I knew they were sinners, would I.....??
Wouldn't leave me any options, if I were to block any sinner from treating me, now would it?
I may think that homosexualilty is a sin, but, since I have my own sins to deal with, I can't very well spare time to be tossing stones at anyone else.

As long as they practice good hygiene (ie: washing their hands, sterilizing needles, etc) and follow the proper medical procedures, I don't have a problem with it. I am going to be trusting God to give me qualified medical professionals.

Their sexuality has nothing to do with saving lives, this question can't be serious.

If they were experienced in their field of work, yes, I would, their preference in their sex life has nothing to do with saving lives!
