Every argument the Christians have against homosexuals can be reduced to the idea that gays have cooties. Why is this?
Do we not leave the idea of 'cooties,' behind at the age of 5 or 6? Is it possible that in believing in the fairy tales of the bible, one expresses a child-like mentality, which is precisely why such a child-like mentality would continue to believe in the concept of 'cooties' and thereby attribute cooties to people who are like they are?

My mother, who is one of those ultra-conservative Christians who listens to Republican radio every day (no joke) and whose only friends are people in her Sunday School class for singles told me, after I accused her of being closed-minded, that the Bible advocates narrow-mindedness and God doesn't want us to think outside the box at all. She told me that we are to believe every last word of the Bible and accept in without question.
Sounds to me like "1984" all over again. When Winston refuses to believe that 2+2=5, Obrien tortured him to the brink of madness in the Ministry of Love until he absolutely *believed* that 2+2=5. Believed it with all his heart and soul.
It's sad that Christianity requires one to wholeheartedly believe every last syllable in the Bible, without the slightest consideration to mistranslations or what have you.
That being said, yes. Many Christians are closed-minded individuals who shudder at the thought of one woman loving another, or one man loving another man. However, not all of them are. I have also noticed that they possess an unparalleled fear of change, or at least some do.
We will not infect you. We did not choose to be gay, no matter what the Church tells you.

As far as I can see, there are no benefits to homosexuality. It's all about feeling as good as you can. It's an immoral act, and it's helped spread deadly STDs as well as break down families.
Also, you have people claiming that it's genetic. This is something that gets to me more. There are people that say Christians should take responsibility for their actions, but then turn around and say that in some cases, homosexuality is genetic and use that to not take responsibility for their actions.
First of all, I don't believe that God would create anyone with that born into them. Second, even if it was genetic in some cases, it's not destiny. Your DNA does not determine the person you will be. Using genetics as an excuse is just as bad.

Cooties.... do you mean aids? I'm sorry but I dont get this question. People who hate homosexuals are... not acting the way Jesus wants them to anyway. He says to love!

I don't see a valid inference.
