That's like asking, what about blond people? what about fat people? what about straight people? etc, what is it about, what about gay people do you specifically want to know? or are you just on your way to start trolling little man?

I could have someone who was gay as a friend without an ulterior motive. Even though this is the case, I would still feel the pressure to help them see their destructive lifestyle just like I would a straight friend who engaged in some self-damaging way. A friend who turns a blind eye is no friend at all.

Not sure what you are asking here, but here goes. God is no respecter of persons. All are sinners and must come to God the same way, through Jesus , His, Son. Jesus said I am the door. No one comes to the Father except through me. The Father is love and Jesus is the revelation of that love. That is,His unconditional love for you by dying on the cross. Please don't feel gays are a different classification or something when it comes to salvation. Once we make a decision to follow Jesus, then comes a sanctification process, or cleansing of our sins through confession to God. God is love and He is interested in removing all barriers that separate us from Him. Only an honest heart willing to submit to him in obedience will accomplish that. Jesus is like a mirror. When you look at Him, you can see your own imperfections. In short, the rules for gays are the same as for everyone else. Read the bible for guidance. Jesus is inviting you today,"Follow me"

What's your concern? Spell it out dude!
I have friends that are gay. I don't approve of their lifestyle but I don't make it an issue. I obviously would like them to live for the Lord but that is their choice just as other unsaved people.

I actually have a theory about gay people. Because I am a natural pantheist, I believe in nature and at first glance you would think that gay people go against nature, but I don't think they do. I personally believe that gay people are natures solution to over population. The world has a way of correcting itself and homosexuality is the perfect solution. A couple that can't reproduce, but can foster children who have no parents. So, I think homosexuality is completely natural and important to man kind. Go gays!!lol

As a non Christian and answering your question. My parents are born again baptists and to them gay is wrong and my father thinks all gay men are pedophiles. Thats what they learn in church.

the anti gay scripture is in deuteronomy which was about secular law and is a suspect book to begin with. it was used to brainwash king josiah into going on a pat buchanan like yawheh purge. the only sex law we need to be concerned with is tho shalt not commit adultery.

while there are a few verses that condemn homosexuality, there are plenty that are overlooked that are just as abominable. for example, leviticus (the book that says laying with a man like you would a woman is an abomination) also says that eating shellfish is against the will of god. yet churchgoers all across america find themselves scarfing shrimp at red lobster right after church. hypocracy abound.

They've always been here. Most of them are born that way, so they're a kind of person, not a rebel or something. Many of them are pretty conservative and could be great allies of the right wing if they would be accepted and not reviled. Sure, some can be wild in youth, but who isn't a horny freak at 20 years old? They're human beings and have every right to pursue their form of happiness.

They are sinners like the rest of us. They need to ask Christ into their lives, trust Him for their salvation and start following Him.

It is just sin of lust and nothing else. No different than heterosexual lust or beastiality lust or any other sin. where people go wrong is when they condone the sin. We should recognize the sin and mortify it not justify it. Then we must not try to do it again.
