What is the proper reaction to the homosexual people?

Question

Some people ex-communicate homosexuals because the bible bans homosexuality (although now episcopalian bishop is a gay and some priest say that they several time had homosexual relationship).

Though it is disgusting for me to see 2 guys kissing each other, it is their right. A neighbour who is a gay loves his boyfriend so much - even he dared his family for the relationship.

What should the community's response be for homosexuals?

When I was in elementary, a teacher was expelled because some parents know he was a homosexual. I can't say it was just or not for him because the school's ethics ban it. But now he is married and have 2 children, his partner moved to the Netherland and died there b/c of AIDS.

Is it wrong if I still consider that homosexuals are abnormals? In college a classmate sometime touched my hands & finger (un)intentionally. The day I know he's a homosexual is the last day I talk to him - I'm so scared & terrified. Am I wrong at this point

***Sounds like you are in denial about suffering from homophobia.
### I really can't enjoy seeing 2 male kissing each other in front of my face. YES, I AM

wpride_55, what does it stand for?
White Pride 55 isn't it?

U racist 5H1T!

Answer 1

Proper reaction? They're people. Treat them as such.

Answer 2

I don't think that there is anything wrong with being gay. I personally am not but I know some guys that are and they are some of my best friends. Your sexual preference has no bearing on what kind of person you are. I say who are we to say that two men (or women) can't find happiness together just because we ourselves like the opposite sex. Also, as far as the church thing goes, there are many things they call 'evil' just because it doesn't go with what they believe. If you think about, thousands of years ago, before the bible was even written, male/male relationships weren't out of the norm (at least from the things I've read on history)

Answer 3

First of all, I understand that maybe you feel unfomfortable when you see two people of the same sex kissing. After all, The Lord disagrees with this behavior. But do you feel disgusted/unfomfortable when:
-Someone worships other Gods, before The Lord?
-When someone worships an image instead of God?
-When someone takes the name of The Lord in vain?
-When someone violates the Sabbath(Saturday) Law, and rests on Sunday instead?
-When someone does not honor their parents?
-When someone kills?
-When someone commits adultery?
-When someone bears false witness?
-When someone covets possessions, or their neighbor's wife?
The Lord says: "There is not a single person in all the earth who is always good and never sins." Ecclesiastes 7:20 For this reason, we are not able to judge one another. "For The Father...hath committed all judgment unto the Son, Jesus Christ." John 5:22
Yes, all sins are equally bad, those which are of moral nature and those included in the 10 commandments.
The Holy Scriptures say the following:
Homosexuality is a sin. Romans 1:26 "God abandoned them to their shameful desires even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. ..And men did shameful things with other men. Instead of having sex with women, they burned with lust for each other. That is why they suffered the penalty they so richly deserved."
We need to understand that this is The Lord speaking and we are not to question His decisions. The question is, why do we continue to judge 'sinners' when we are also sinners. One sin is not better or worse than the other, In the eyes of The Lord we are all sinners. And in the eyes of The Lord, we are ALL His loving children. The Lord died for ALL of us, including homosexuals. Yes, The Lord condemns the homosexual act, and His desire is for the sinner to repent, and start a new life free of sin. 1Corinthians 6:18-20"Run away from sexual sin. No other sin affects the body such as this one...for it is a sin against your own body"
. And if we are true Christians, we are to love Homosexuals like Jesus loves them. We need to start by respecting one another.
Ask The Lord, in prayer, to help you love and reflect The Lord's character through your actions. Only then will there be a change in the way you feel about homosexuals. Love & Respect, just the way Jesus treated Mary Magdalene when He met her, and to think she was a prostitute.

Answer 4

If you feel you must consider homosexuals "abnormals," it's going to be difficult to change your feelings--but it is proper to treat them as equal human beings and not discriminate against them. I recently was on a plane where a heterosexual couple were carrying on in a way that had anyone sitting near them completely disgusted--I didn't feel any better about being subjected to that just because it was a man and a woman instead of two men. As long as people keep private sexual behavior private, what they do in private doesn't really affect you, does it?

Answer 5

I don't think it is a good attitude to have...

There are so many people out there still looking at aspects of a person (sexual orientation, race, religion, etc.) rather than focusing on the fact that the person is a human being.

I don't feel that it is healthy for you to be scared of someone, unless they are threatening your freedom or life. By cutting ties with people simply because they are homosexual....you may be missing out on some great friendships and ideas.

Answer 6

The bible speaks explicitaly approximately gay and gay relationships. they're AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD!!!!!!!! No ifs ands or whats they're direct revolt and sin against our lord god. He did no longer create adam and steve it become adam and eve for a purpose. 2 adult adult males or 2 women human beings can't produce existence mutually nor are they able to experiencing a real parenthood relationship. We as women and men human beings are distinctive and each brings a definite ingredient to the relationship and in parenting those variations are a would desire to. We each furnish to our infants what they desire and gay couples no count what they are asserting can't nor will they ever be able to elevating infants the way they have been meant to be raised. we are referred to as to hate sin yet love the sinner for all of us have sinned and are available need of the dignity of God. So for this reason we are to realize out to them and share the affection of Jesus Christ with them. No they weren't born this way and any episcipal preacher who's gay or that has ever dedicated the sin of homosexuality will stand previously a holy God sooner or later and supply and account for this sin in the event that they do no longer repent.

Answer 7

Hate the sin, but love the sinner. We are always to treat others with respect and kindness, but do not have them for a close friend.
2 Cor :14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Answer 8

There were peer reviewed studies in the early 90s that confirmed that homosexuality is largely determined before birth. You should treat them like you fellow man. Help them in times of need. If we would all embrace each other, and get rid of all the dogma that divides us, this world could truly be a special place.

Answer 9

You treat them like human beings.
Sounds like you are in denial about suffering from homophobia.
People don't "catch" homosexuality.
If you find homosexuals kissing offensive, look away.

Answer 10

Are you wrong for being scared? No. I wouldn't hold you to account for an irrationality over which you have no control.

But it's not a healthy way for you to be, so it would be good if you managed to be a little more open-minded.

Answer 11

No reaction. They are just humans. Do you react to every person you see walking around? You shouldn't be scared. They will not rape you. If they do ask you consider it a compliment and say I don't swing that way. They will understand and that will be that.
