Why do people act like being gay is a disease! Some one said "If we let them get married there going to make us gay!"
Don't be dumb, being gay is NOT a disease and gays are not going to force you to become gay! So I don't get your problem! And love is not just about a family! 1)the earth is overcrowded so having less kids helps,unless your a women and want to get pregnant 2)without love you don't have a marriage 3) stop making ridiculous metaphors about gays! Like being gay is like pretending a horse is a cow! Because that makes no sense! Marriage is about love, and when your in love your mature enough to handle it! Just because a child thinks there in love does not mean there in love! And Stop making metaphors like that too! So to my question, why do people think being gay is like a disease???

Hi!
There is a disease marked by feeble mental stability and spiritual insecurity that projects its inadequacies onto others and may result in a declaration that someone else is ill on the basis that the diagnostician neither understands others or themselves. Sufferers of this disease are likely to pronounce that to be gay or to follow any faith or philosophy not within the bounds of the sufferers comprehension equates with illness.
Sadly, this condition is underpinned by a profound lack of insight so that the person is blissfully unaware that as well as negating what they misunderstand in others they negate the very faiths and philosophies they themselves claim to be practitioners of.
The causes of this sadly all too common condition are still being explored, but genetic retardation; morbid ignorance and conditioning and other abuses during upbringing are indicated as possible catalysts.
Sadly, the condition can have a negative impact on the quality of life and capacity for joy in those around sufferers themselves if they are not robust enough to resist the dellusional expressions of those with the condition. There is even suggestion of a folly et deux element that can draw others into the delusional experience of those affected.
A working title for this condition while experts continue to chart its nature has been offered: Crassity.
Let us pity those who suffer from Crassity, but not feed their sickness by buying into or in any other way encouraging their delusional state.
Good wishes.

When a person chooses that lifestyle, he or she is unaware that the decision is something that is affected by his/her perception of the masculine and the feminine. It's not a disease but a wrong decision. Sadly, a lot of Christians don't help and only serve to make the argument worse.
It's influenced by what a person thinks as masculine and feminine. When a person feels inferior about himself/herself because he thinks that he is not masculine enough or she is not feminine enough as the others, a sort of inferiority complex sets (usually at the young age; most of the adults dont feel this inferiority anymore so you probably won't agree). Then, other people start to tease him/her and that perception is reinforced. As the child grows up that kind of thinking plus self-pity is what makes the person choose a homosexual lifestyle. They should not be treated as having a disease but they should not also be encouraged in their lifestyle because conscious or not they are feeding into the self-pity they had as a child. And any psychologist would say that self pity should not be reinforced.
Many homosexuals are able to change their lifestyle. Unfortunately, media has sought to accentuate the opposite of this to society.

No it won't spread like Aids did through the gay community. Unclean is just unclean and that's just true.
I think it is a treatable mental disease. Like my rage. Unseemly to God and man.
Look at society since the gays left there closets. Now it's fashionable, but it won't spread.
Any sin against God will spread if left unchecked and letting these people perform a religious ceremony is blaspheme.
A civil marriage is political and for another forum.

Take your questions to a different category- If you want to be accepted as a gay person go to the gay, bi, trans, forums.
Christians know that homosexual behavior is an abomination according to the Word of God and will not condone this behavior. There is a place in the church of Jesus Christ but you have to confess it as sin, repent, (turn from this behavior) and accept Jesus Christ as the one who leads and directs your life. If you are not willing to do these things and keep your unclean lifestyle some people will want to avoid you and your HIV high-risk lifestyle. That's just the way it is.

Easy. Two reasons.
1) The Bible. When it was written, different parts of what is now called the Bible, between 1600 and 2000 years ago, there were tremendously weird and silly prejudices. Against gays, women, certain kinds of animals, etc. People who, for whatever reason, read and falsely believe in the Bible as a divine instrument believe that there are no errors in it. So the silly prejudices of 2000 years get used as an excuse to treat others with no respect. Big example: The South used to claim since the Bible included slavery, then it was their God-given right to keep slaves.
2) People fear what they don't understand. And usually anything that is different is something they don't understand. It is far easier to call people names and discriminate than to do the honorable thing in communication and education.

I'm with you, sister. Even on 'religion' choice. Being gay isn't some sort of stigma. It's just different. For instance, my favorite color is green. Maybe someone else's is yellow. I happen to not find yellow an attractive color. But just because someone else DOES find it attractive doesn't mean I'm going to follow them like the plague, bashing and berating them until they suddenly have a 'change of heart'. Hello, that will never happen. If someone is attracted to people of the same sex, you can't just convince them to like the opposite sex. It just doesn't work that way.
Standing in front of a church that supports gay marriages with demeaning signs, chanting insults on the day of a gay marriage would be like me bursting into a church on easter sunday screaming "THERE IS NO GOD!!!". I would never do that. Why? BECAUSE IT'S CRAZY and COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL.
All of you homophobes out there need to lighten up and keep their nasty comments to themselves. There is no reason to deny two people matrimony if they love each other. I send kudos out to the churches that still allow gay marriages and to the states that ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION and recognize these marriages.
It's a new age, people. Live up to it.

Your right being Gay is not a disease. Its a sin. A person does not have a gay problem what they have is a sin problem.
Because of man's rebellion against God from the beginning when Adam ate the apple we have been a slave to sin. God gave us his law so that we could understand what sin was. The law could not save us from our sinful ways but instead it acts as a mirror to show us how dirty we are. God's standard of morality is much higher than ours as it should be since God is the creator of the universe and knows what is best. But God can not sin nor can he tolerate it so all sinners must be judged. The bible tells us that the penalty of sin is Hell regardless of what sin.
How do we avoid Hell?
By admitting to God our sinfulness and turning from that sin and to God (i.e. repenting) and fully putting our trust in Christ Jesus. Only then can we appear sinless to God because his son born our punishment for our sins so that we may live. Now that is love!

The Bible says its wrong, thats good enough for me, but It is not a disease, its a choice a person makes, just like most other sins we commit, we choose to sin willfully, and that is against God, we are sinners, we sin everyday, Marriage from the very beginning with adam and eve was about male and female, enought said.

This is rather stating the obvious, but in human nature there is a tendency to be sexually attracted to the opposite sex and repelled (in a sexual context) by your own sex. This makes sense in evolutionary terms - It is behaviour which encourages sexual reproduction and thereby the propogation of the genes which make us feel this way.
Religions, not surprisingly, often have scripture which reflects this innate distaste or discomfort which humans commonly feel regarding homosexual sex, and their followers think that admonitions against homosexual sex come from their deity, whereas in fact of course they come from the humans who write them. The idea that there is something wrong with homosexuality persists for the reason described above.
Nowadays, moral progress is such that more and more people are regarding homosexuality as morally neutral - i.e. neither good nor bad, but merely different, and this (in my opinion) is a good thing.

Unfortunately, we've let the government make so many intrusive laws, marriage isn't just about love anymore, it's about taxes and social security, healthcare, etc. In my opinion the government has gotten so out of hand it's ridiculous. I think the government has trampled all over our rights as it is. Where does it say that gay marriage is illegal now? Why do we have to pass a law that gives us a right we should already have?
