Why are so many straight people so concerned about how gay people live their lives? That I don't get. And why do we always have to prove ourselves to people? Hundreds of gay people here have said that it's not a choice. that should be good enough. Of course if we had proof, would you honestly believe us? I bet you'd be stuck on what you think regardless of what any of us say.
In conclusion, what we do is none of your business, we don't have to prove anything to you....just leave us alone to live our lives and you do the same.
(this was actually a response to someone's ignorant question, but I figured a lot of other nosy busybody protesters should see this.)

well now discipledave, just because you believe everything that you read doesn't mean the rest of us have to. You go on and live your life and hopefully make it to heaven. If not, I'll see you in hell and feed you a little something something.

they question us because we are different. everyone is afraid of change, no matter how big or small. and (according to them) gay couples will change society and the life that we aways knew. and people are scared. they're scared that things are going to be different so they try to keep It the same. its how they grew up. they were raised being taught that the "American dream" is all about being rich with having that huge house with the white picket fence. standing outside with your wife, son, daughter, and the family dog. i know it sucks trying to prove to everyone that we are no different. i do it everyday. my fiver year old sister always comes up to me and asks if she can come with me to my gf's house. (my sis loves her to death and they always play and laugh with each other) but i always have to say no, because my mom doesn't want her to. my parents sit there and tell her not to grow up and be like her older sister; they tell me that i am going to confuse her and make her think that its okay to be a homo. it breaks my heart everyday knowing that she's growing up being taught the wrong things. that she may never get to know me for who i really am and that she's going to grow up to hate me just like my mom. i just wish everyone knew. i wish they could switch places with us for a day so they will know exactly what its like to be different

It's coz they have a "fear of the un-known", they cant understand it so figured it must be bad.
Plus, gay couples cant have biological children, therefore thats why to them it makes no sence why two people of the same gender would decide to couple.
It's plus and minus, not plus and plus..although in maths there is - - (which means +) i think..havent done maths in ages..and theres a + + which means just plus..but can be doubles..lmao..dunno why i brang this up...anyway..knowing me..i know im not choosing it..its jus thow i feel..how my life is going...thats just the way i feel..no other explanation....they are also concerned coz they might have family members who are like that and they dont know what to expect from that kind of lifestyle coz thats not how they do it...theres is a lot of things which scares em and then makes them question...just dont let it get to you...it gets to me..but im trying to not care more and more...
take care

What's ironic and sad is that handed-ness has NEVER been proven to be genetic...so why all the uproar over sexuality?
We're human beings and that should be plenty enough.
I'm a Mother, a Partner, a Sister, a Daughter. I'm a business owner, I pay my taxes and utilize local goods and services.
The fact that my life partner HAPPENS to be the same gender should be a NON-ISSUE!
I'm a Citizen...period.

it may not be a choice to be gay but to act out on your same sex attractions IS a choice, you can't deny that.
however it's not a big deal, I don't really care whether or not someone is male or female as long as they're hot and my type.
disciple dave worded it well for christian homosexuals. It is not a sin to be gay, it is not a choice to be gay, however it is both a sin and a choice to have sex with another man. I'm not christian so I don't give a sh*t.
ok are we done sorting this out. We heard the anti-gay side and the gay side. Now can everyone stop arguing.

My theory is simple, those of us who scream the loudest regarding the same gender relationships are harboring feelings of a similar nature, but, because of the environment these "folks" are in, feel "bad", and "guilty" over these feelings, and because they believe that as long as you and many others are in a public relationship, that it creates too much stress on them to conceal their own buried same gender desires, because, of course, that God, who loves them, will invoke Leviticus and wipe out all who eat shrimp or lobster, kill everyone who cusses, and of course, start laser beaming the gay community. Which means, logically, that because they have these suppressed desires, that God may mistake them for members of the gay community. So, it's their job to wipe you out, so they can say, "Hey, God, looking for homosexuals? None around here, we took care of them for you.

Alot of straight people could care less. The straight people that meddle are either the incredibly uneducated and small minded, or the very white and very rich that are terrified of anything that doesnt act like they do.

A favorite quote from a comedian:
"The people who are so concerned about gays or bisexuals having sex or love, are usually the ones not getting sex or love from ANYONE."

The ones who are, are miserable with their own lives. Failed marraiges, closed minds, why else would they be so angry and hate filled?

Straight people are not concerned about how gay peole live. However Christian who love others are concerned about anyone who lives a life that will put them into Hell for all eternity. Its called LOVE.
You say " Hundreds of gay people here have said that it's not a choice. that should be good enough. "
Whats not a choice? Anyone who has sexual relations with another person, does in fact and in Truth have a choice.
Is being homosexual a sin? Heaven's no. Just as being a Heterosexual is not a sin either. Being a Heterosexual or a homosexual is not what is sinful. Sin is not who you are attracted to. What is sin and is sinful, is when anyone regardless of what they claim to be, either hetero or homosexual, has a sexual relationship with another, that is not defined in Scriptures, is an abomination to God.
Can two men live together and love each other for their entire lives? Yes they can, and this is not against God, not one verse says two men can't live with each other and love each other. But if these two men have sexual relationships with each other, then it becomes sinful and against God.
Can a man and a woman live together and love each other for their entire lives? Yes they can, and this is not against God, not one verse says a man and woman can't live with each other and love each other. But if these two have sexual relationships with each other not being married, then it becomes sinful and against God.
People hearken unto me, it is not the Loving of each other that is sinful, it is the sex that is sinful and against God. Sex is not required in a relationship in order for LOVE to exist. LOVE is not the sin, never has been, two men that love each, not sinful, two men who have sex together, this is sinful and against God, not the love they feel between each other, it is the sex that makes it sinful and against God.
Leave it to the end time generation to think sex is a requirement to LOVE someone, they do greatly error and their will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
In His Holy and Preciouse Name, Jesus Christ
