What are your views on homsexuality? I'm a religious person and have read in the Bible (Leviticus 18:22-30), where God describes the acts of homosexuality as an "abomination."
Personally, I do not descriminate on a person's "preferance," even though, I don't truly understand it all.I have friends who have and do experiment with homosexuality and I accept them as people and not by what they do in they're personal lives.
What are your honest views on the topic?

I recently found out that two of my good friends are homosexual, and I will always love them the same.
Just asking for views... because it's a topic with so many different views and thoughts.

The Bible also says "Vengeance is mine"...and "Love thy Neighbor". So if homosexuality is a sin, then it'll be God's job to punish 'em...not ours.
Personally, I believe most gays are born that way. I never sat down and "decided" to be straight...I never thought to myself: "OK...do I want to be attracted to women, or be a butt-thumping tinkerbelle?)
Have some close friends who are gay, and I love 'em very much. I know a couple of couples (both male and female) who are very devoted to one another, and personally...I'd have no problems if they were allowed to get married.
I do wish that there weren't so many gays who were so eager to rub their lifestyle in other people's face...maybe be a little more discrete and considerate.

The Bible does not name homosexuality an abomination, it calls having intercourse with male temple prostitutes (a train of the religions of alternative gods) an abomination. The sin is having different gods earlier than Yahweh. Nowhere does both testomony condemn the state of being homosexual. But I love the Christian copout that it isn't Leviticus they are following, however passages from the New Testament. The NT prohibitions are grounded in Leviticus, in order that ARE condemning homosexuality headquartered on a false impression of Leviticus, then ignoring the opposite greater than six hundred commandments that they do not like. Bur, on the grounds that Christianity at present is Salad Bar Christianity (even Catholicism - simply seem on the new "sins" that the Pope invented), what else can any individual assume. The Bible is not a publication to are living by means of, it is a publication used to justify doing what folks desire to do.

I find homosexual practices pretty unpleasant, though I have no obection to people who are homosexuals. I have known a few and have been on good terms with them.
As for the Bible, I suggest it is a mistake to assume that everything in the Bible is the literal word of God. It's a series of historical and socialogical accounts written by men. If God created humankind, then God also created a range of sexual orientations.

Homosexual orientation is very normal for about 10% of the population - in every country, in spite of Iran's president's claims. This being the case, and if we are ALL God's creatures, then it is hardly an "abomination". Keep in mind that the Bible (and other religious tomes) were written by human beings who, although they may have been "divinely inspired", still h ad their own moral agendas when they wrote their respective Books. The Bible (and others) are part truth, part fiction, part myth, part legend, and mostly story-telling, and it is often very difficult to separate one from the others.

My honest views are very similar to your own - except for the bible bit. Everyone is entitled to live as they choose and some of my best friends have been homosexual. The important thing is the person - not his/her sexuality.

I think homosexuality isn't immoral. I think you're born that way. I also see nothing wrong with experimentating. However, if you are a Christian and follow the Bible, I do think it's hypocritical not to find homosexuality wrong. The Bible is against it. This is one of the reasons I don't follow the Bible.

I think people are born with their disposition, or their preference.... I don't think you can just 'be gay' by choosing to be gay, just as you can't justg 'be not gay'...
I think sexuality is a spectrum/range .... most people are somewhere in the middle and lean one way or another.... then you get people that are on the ends of the spectrum that are totally 'big time' straight or 'way out there' gay.
All in all labels hurt people.
It's best to love one another --- and if the person you love is same sex, so what? sex is just biology; your heart loves and doesn't know the difference.
Peace.

The Bible was written by bigotted shitheads. Homosexuality is neither an illness nor a lifestyle choice and anyone who thinks that they should be discriminated against has severe psychological problems.

In my opinion, being a homosexual is not a crime or a sin even if the bible condemns it. I guess the "act" of engaging in a sexual activity with the same sex is a sin, immoral and "condemnable." What I'm pointing out is that being a "gay" is not a sin but the sexual "act" is...

I have nothing against it at all. 10% of all species are homosexual and I believe it is Mother Nature's way of controlling populations.
Besides, my best friend is gay.
Society needs to close their Bibles and think for themselves for once. Besides people only pick and choose what they want to belive in the Bible anyways.
