Once and for all,
I did not say that I hate them,
read my question

Answer 1

I dislike their lifestyle, and I don't think it's normal.. But I believe in Freedom, and think they should have the same rights as straight people. However, a lot of people have given me thumbs down because I state the fact that I disagree with the lifestyle. I guess it's because it means I'm prejudice? Well I judge individuals based on their personality, not their lifestyle choice.

Phoenix, that makes sense.

Answer 2

Because as true Christians we are to hate the SIN not the sinner.
If I go out and have an affair with an elders wife I am a fornicator and an adulterer.Am I any less of a sinner than a man having sex with another man?
Sin is sin is sin.
Once we stop doing what is sin in God's eyes,we become children of God.(Galatians 5:19-21)
Please remember Jesus' reply when asked what was the most important commandment in Matt.22:36-40.
In the second part of the answer Jesus mentioned we should love our neighbor as we love ourselves.(John 4 7-10,Luke 10 29-37)
I used to think I could look into the hearts of men and make judgment.I was rudely awakened to the fact that Jehovah is the one that looks into the hearts (1 Samuel 16:7)
I pray this answers your question.

Answer 3

Ok this is a tricky qustion to answer but weather or not any one will like this answer it is the thurth every one has the right to be them's self and to think what thay like a bouth other's people cause it true that there is some one out there that every one dost not like in some way or a nother And as you have said you do not mean any harm to them or malice it just how you are and you have that right.

As long as your not harming any one them it is fine an eg off this is like i don't like emo's and it not the people that i not like it there syle that all i have nothing agianest them but would any one understand this no and it not just them i hate chav's and i'm not scard to say this and iknow that some people would say well i don't have that right and how would i feal it some one did it to me.

Well thay have and thay do as i'm a goth and i don't care what people think i am who i am and i will not change for anyone.

Soyou have the right to think the way you want to and don't let any one say that you havint.

Answer 4

I have read it..

it says 'we' implying you mean we...

That's why it sounds as you are voicing that opinion..as that's what you've written. If you have said why are homophobics afraid of expressing their views, you may get more relevent answers.

People are afraid of disagreeing with anything publicly as its so 'politically in-correct' to do so.

However...I dont see why anyone would 'dislike' a gay person because they are so....

I may dislike someone who was a murderer and gay.. even then.. it'd be the murderous part I would dislike...

I actually could write a lot here..But Im not going to. I dont really understand your point..IF you re not being effected by this..Cos, as you said, you 'have no malice towards them' why does it matter to you? Perhaps use your energies more positively worrying about things that effect you and let those who can't tolerate differences worry about that themselves...

Answer 5

I think you should be able to say what you want about people but there is a time and a place for everything, you have to watch what you say to people so they do not take offence as people can get hurt. If you dont like something or someone thats fine but keep it to yourself its your opinion and unless you are out for a fight then whats the point in upsetting anyone.
Like you said they are your 'own thoughts' as you added this question under the etiqutte category maybe should learn that sometime thoughts are to be kept to yourself so you dont hurt others.
That was a friendly message by the way and like I said you can think what you want its your life and you have your own mind.

Answer 6

It is not normal to be gay (homosexual, lesbian, bisexual) or anything other than straight. It is simply a brain malfunction or the wrong amount of hormones in the wrong body. I feel sorry for those who have the wrong amount of hormones. But as for the ones with a brain malfunction, they are just sick 'literally. Being stuck in the wrong body is one thing for sure but being a pervert which alot of gays are is another. Here is a valid answer to your question. I am not afraid to express my disliking of Homosexuals and Lesbians. And i don't think anybody else should be. I failed to mention I love bisexual woman!. but it doesn't change the fact that somthing went wrong along the line. Males and Females make babys not Males and Males. etc. This is just mine and millions of other peoples opinion. ;) Good question.

Answer 7

I'm not afraid because I don't dislike anyone. I'm straight and I don't dislike homosexuals or lesbians just as much as I don't dislike heterosexuals. In fact many gay people are nicer human beings than straight people. And you don't seem like a nice person full stop. No-one's stopping you expressing your thoughts but the way you approach this is very immature.

Answer 8

In these days of political correctness anyone who voices dislike of any minority is classed as a bigot.

I do not dislike anyone who is homosexual. I personally place no importance at all on a persons sexuality. To me it's a non starter - I honestly couldn't care less who someone else sleeps with. If they are easy to get on with then that's all that matters.

I have worked with people who have introduced themselves to me by giving me their name, then telling me they were gay. No heterosexual I have ever met has told me they were straight - it's just something I've noticed over the years which I find curious. The reasons behind it are probably complex but as I say - I don't care.

Answer 9

You said you were willing to say what a lot of people think. I mean really old boy how do you know what people think. I suppose there are many people who don't wear tags around to tell you what they are...must seem difficult for you I mean to spend so much time on working out what people are. I wonder if you would dislike them so much if you were in an awkward situation and you were dying and the only Dr available to help you was a homosexual, would you tell him/her not to treat you and save your life because you have a dislike for homosexuals? I knew a lot of homosexuals..pretty good chaps really...do anything for you to be helpful. Forced labour on the Burma railway the Japanese were building in the war, turned out two of the men were homosexuals, how many lives these chappies saved was remarkable. So I for one will not have you speak badly about these people. I mean what have you personally done to save someones life? or fight for your countries freedom, I mean if it wasn't for these chaps fighting in the war you might not even have the freedom to be using this forum to ask your question.

Answer 10

Believe whatever you want, but just make sure you keep it to yourself. You never know whose feelings you will be hurting. Bottom line: you're allowed to have your opinions (love, hate, indifference) but you also have to take responsibility for them and know when to voice your opinion and when to shut your mouth. Just because you are granted freedom of speech by the constitution doesn't mean you should always use it.

P.S. it's the twenty-first century, not the twentieth.
