why is being gay wrong?

Question

if you think being gay is wrong...why? is it because the bible (or other text) or church (or other establishment) told you so, or do you have a truly personal problem with it?

note: it's immoral is not a good answer. why is it immoral? i define immoral as something causing harm to someone else. how is being gay immoral?

i really want to know why people think it is wrong and i've gotten some good answers.

i am in fact trying to justify it because i don't think it is wrong. it's not really any different than a woman that cannot bear children. should she not have the right to be married and accepted by society? there are plenty of childless couples.

i can't choose a best answer, because i don't think being gay is wrong...to the polls

Answer 1

First off, I'm a Latter-Day Saint (Mormon). I have gay friends, even a gay employee. That doesn't stop me from spending time with them, unless one of them is going to a transsexual talent show. Not gonna witness that again...!

The act is wrong because it goes against the design of human sexuality and the will of Heavenly Father. The greatest blessing on this earth is the ability to create life, and those who choose to be in that lifestyle lose that blessing.
Unfortunately, homosexual sex does not allow for the creation of life, and violates God's orders to remain chaste and sexually pure.

So, I have no issue with gay people as a vast majority are fantastic productive members of society. I do feel sad for them losing the greatest blessing that I have ever known that repeats itself daily: waking up and being a father to their own children.

Answer 2

I don't think it is. I think it is far better for someone who has a natural inclination toward same-sex attraction to be able to love someone of the same sex than to be forced into a loveless heterosexual marriage that can destroy the gay person, his/her spouse, and their children.

As for what the buy-bull says, the same book that condemns homosexuality also condemns wearing clothing of mixed fabrics, consuming shellfish and the flesh of pigs, and planting multiple crops in one field. And I know a heckuva lot of so-called Christians who condemn gays on one hand, but have no problem with a ham for Easter.

And if the New Testament really did say, oh, those laws are no longer valid (and I wouldn't know because I was raised Jewish), as I believe I've heard mentioned, then that means ALL laws, including the prohibition against homosexual acts.

Answer 3

The fundies don't read their history and just so happen to have missed the part where Sodom and Gomorrah was not really about homosexual men raping straight men, according to their fictional book, the bible. As history states, they were actually straight men who would rape/sodomize other straight men who entered the city in order to repel strangers from coming in. It was a commonly used practice during that period of time AND no where in the 10 commandments is there mention of homosexuality.
They need to be reminded to look into Jewish law which is supposedly where christian beliefs derive from, instead they listen to some apostle's opinion who claimed to have seen jesus. they should do their research and practice their bogus religion correctly.

Answer 4

There's nothing wrong or immoral about being gay. But there are hate-filled bigots around, and they turn their hate on anything different from them. Don't worry about them: they're morons. Oh well, if we all need somebody to laugh at, those idiots are good candidates.

Answer 5

God loves us all, how can he hate a certain group of people just because we think they are different? The process of birth has it's origins from God, he made us all. Can a dwarf be told that God must hate him because he is not like us? While on this earth, Jesus was never quoted as saying it was an abomination. The problem comes from man's interpretation of the Bible and his ignorance.

Answer 6

I don't know of any study that shows sperm to be beneficial up the intestinal track of a male, also if the rectum is considered a one way valve then why try to force a foreign body up it. Does that in itself cause rectal damage. I think it does. what about the foreign matter of feces going on the tip or inside the penis, don't think that belongs there, and could cause an infection. Now I assume that a woman complements a man, and a man complements a woman. I find it more emotional healthy that way. Now a society can not grow if no babies are being born, also the young take care of the old, so there goes social security, two men can not produce a child, they don't have the parts needed.

truth is this, it cause harm to mans body, and AIDS was wide spread in the gay population. This is harm

Human Race cannot reproduce with two men, therefore it harms our future.

Truth is this God loves the person, but hates the sin, being Gay is a sin.

Answer 7

Anatomically, the last third of the digestive tract is septic and is so because it is meant to be, to get out solid waste out of the body.
Anal sex, exposes partners to the possibility of contacting any kind of infection(s).
The muscular tissue above the sphincter muscle is relatively less resilient and can (more) easily again opening up the tract to infection.
i'm not sure i have an argument against sex, between females, if at all it can be achieved anatomically, but ultimately, since you asked this in this section, you'd want to consider sex, or opposite sex attraction from the view of who gave it as a gift in the first place.
GOD intended for sex to be between a man and a woman within the security of a covenant relationship of marriage.
Without such security, individuals do get hurt, families get destroyed.
This others might argue to be amoral, but be sure as GOD is true that HE does not approve of it.

Answer 8

It's odd to hetero's because they dont understand why do a man and a man what to have sex and those feelings for each other, or a woman and a woman have sex and those feelings for each other, like if you gay you dont understand serial killers, its the same confussion, why do he want to kill,kill,kill when there is a life to live, but the serial killer cant help it, thats just the way he's made, I used serial killer because I want you to know the degree of how hetero's feel about your way of loving. From a religious-Christian, Jehovah doesnt permitt that and thats just the devil confusing and putting a sin there, you cant change your sin, but it is a thing that God didnt intend for man and woman to be, your sex dont make sense, and God always makes sense.
So it may be you, and youre not doing any thing wrong to yourself, but to God you are, he never intended human males and females to be that way, dont say there are gay animals or unisex animals, all animals are made to be different from us.

Well have a good day.

Answer 9

The Bible says it's wrong for the preisthood (it's in the book of Leviticus) As for replenishing the earth, there are over 6 billion people already so we're not in danger of extinction. To me you can do whatever you like based on the lines of reasoning I've seen in other posts.

Answer 10

I honestly think that there is nothing wrong with being gay, and I'm a Catholic. And I still see nothing immoral about it, and I'm not gay. But the reason why people find it immoral is nto because whats in the Bible, its because they're afraid of change, and how this change might affect the world.
