The thing that bothers me the most about the religion argument is that not everyone believes in the offended religion that protests against gays and lesbians. I have some gay friends who are Christian and some who are not. By using a religious argument to condemn homosexuality you are, in effect, imposing your religious beliefs on someone else.
I can't change someone's personal beliefs, but I highly disapprove of these laws preventing gay marriage. The churches can do what they want to, but the US government is supposed to keep church and state separate. The religious issues lobbies should not influence them in their debate over gay marriages, yet unfortunately it does.
As long as someone is not harming others they should be allowed to live their life the way they please. Homosexuality hurts no one. At my former college at least half of the guys were gay (I'm not exaggerating). Just like everyone else, some of them were nice, and some of them were not so nice. But so is the rest of the world. Being gay or straight doesn't change the fundamentals of peoples personalties. I don't know where I heard this, but it's always guided me through my relationships with people: "Everybody's different, that's why life's neat."

Philosophically and intellectually I have no opinion on homosexuals or bisexuals. One's sexual preferences are irrelevant in me judging your character. I'm still curious as to the biological mechanisms that cause same sex attraction - which admittedly is a result of the behavior being so foreign to me.

i think we have preferences and its upto us to decide what kind of a sexual relationship we want. but i will like to say that there is no point denying homosexuality is unnatural and an accident of nature, ofcourse evolution wouldnt have selected it and i can see why god will either. and besides though intellectualy i have no problems with it, psychologically i find it gross when i see these days homosexuals sometimes expressing their love in public. as i grew up in a small conservative southern town i might have got this feelings. and i have a feeling this might be one of the reasons why many people feel morally outraged at homosexuals. i take this idea from mario puzos "fools die" where he gives this idea in a slightly different context.

It's natural. Look at studies in penguins and apes. If you're going to use the Bible, then read it in it's original language, and you'll clearly see the Bible never condemns it, just people who poorly translated Greek and Hebrew. (I've studied the bible in depth, and compared the original manuscripts with English translations. The parts people think are anti-homosexual are actually against other things. You'd be surprised if you actually read it)
With all the hate in the world, what is wrong with love between two people?
I'm completely straight, I'm happily married to a beautiful woman. My wife and I have homosexuals in our families, no big deal. My wife's best friend is a lesbian, she's cool as hell. We both have gay and straight friends, in fact, we are having dinner with a gay couple tonight. People are under the impression that their sexual urges are uncontrollable and that they are always checking out people of the same sex and working on converting them. People believe a lot of stupid things.

Being a homosexual is only one aspect of who a person is; it is a shame that people have to put so much significance on it. People are also Christians, blue-eyed, left-handed, evil, fat, black, handicapped, and bald. Why does what goes on in the privacy of someone's bedroom mean so much to people who are not in there?!
I was once on a panel of artists, gay and straight, and someone asked a choreographer about being a gay artist. I'll never forget his answer. He said he didn't consider himself a gay choreographer, just a choreographer who occasionally liked to sleep with men. And he is right. Why would you want to limit yourself to being one of the best gay choreographers or painters or singers when you can aspire to be one of the best choreographers, period. Or one of the best painters, period
labels are for jars, not people.

As long as you are open about it. If you men are gay then don't date women and marry women because you are afraid of what people will think. I have a hate for closet gays. Just look at what New Jersey Governer Jim Mcgreevey did to his poor wife, child, his own family. Now That's a disgrace.
If you are a gay man, then come out, don't live a lie and destroy lives.

every man or woman for themselves. I think it is soo stupid that some people don't "approve" of homosexuality! Those people that don't, what is there take on different races? Do they only like a specific race too?
Seriously! yeah people can be "uncomfortable" seeing it. but it's not something that is going to go away. SO People who don't approve, GET USED IT TO!
that is my take

None of us have a choice in our sexuality. It is genetically encoded. Our orientation; our feelings of compatability with our gender as well.
I had no more choice in my sexual orientation (straight) than I did in my eye color. I do have the option of wearing colored lens, to "change" my eye color, but they always will be blue. So the homosexual has the "option" to "try on" heterosexuality. But in doing this, they are not being true to themselves.
We all need to learn to be open to each other. And to accept our differences as well as our similarities.

I really can't understand it. Women are extremly sexy and why on Earth a bloke would find another bloke sexy just doesn't make any sense to me at all.
I have known homosexual people and I ain't got anything against them, in fact they are often quite good people, but I just can't understand why they would fancy blokes when women are so sexy and blokes ain't.
