gay affection may bother SOME straights because it is not something they are used to. It doesn’t bother me. As far as I am concerned to each their own. If that is what you are happy with then be happy with it and don’t let what other people say bother you. Your life your choices. Be yourself and don’t feel bad for being you. People will get over it if you give them time and if not it shouldn’t matter.

I don’t like to see straight people making out in public either go to the bedroom if you want to do that. I think it’s a matter of feeling that they (gays) are shoving it in our faces. Fine if thats their life style keep it to themselves. What do they have to march all over with signs saying I am gay? I don’t run around saying I am straight. If they are two adults and that’s what they want to do go for it but why do they have to advertise? Since they came out of the closets everything is so touchie. If I say my girlfriend and I went to the movies, I almost feel like I have to clarify she’s a friend not my lover. Know what I mean? I just don’t think anyones sexual preferance should be anyone’s business, I really don’t care. And for the record, the Bible does say it’s wrong. However, no one is perfect and according to God one sins’ as bad as another. Or, as Jesus said let him who is guiltless among you throw the first stone.

You sound oh so hypocratic by taking this one example, beleiveing it whole heartedly, and not mentioning all the thinks in the Bible that are extremly moraly wrong. It’s sad that it takes a fourteen year old to shine sense into this world. 🙂

Things will be this way until society allows for open discussion and understanding.

Name : Chi-Rho, City : Tucson, State : AZ, Country : United States,If your God were to witness your writing, do you believe that He would appreciate how judgmental you are, Monique? According to the Bible, which I have read, cover to cover, Jesus Christ favored love and acceptance to all people – for He would not have been perfect had he not. On a somewhat different note: if God is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnibenevolent (all good), then why would He allow a person to live a lifestyle that He despises? Any answer you give to this questions presents difficult issues – is Satan more powerful than God, and therefore can cause a person to be a certain way that God cannot stop? Or, since God knows everything, why would He allow someon to have a lifestyle that was so miserable to Him? Is He evil? Does his omnibenevolence disappear, and He likes to chuckle and laugh at the misery this society provides to gay people? Or, better yet, does His omniscience disappear (conveniently for your judgmental views) and He just doesn’t know how to stop it or doesn’t know that it is going on at all? I think you need some new definitions of God before you start pretending to be Him.

(apologies, it’s been a long time since I read it, so I presume that you also believe that it’s wrong to eat prawns or to have sex with a woman for a certain number of days after her period. Who is it St Paul, the misogynist. The bible was written BY MEN and there is NOTHING in the gospel condemning homosexuality only the interpretation of Paul.

Name : David25874, Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Gay, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : Atheist, Age : 34, City : London, State : NA, Country : United Kingdom, Education level : 4 Years of College, Social class : Middle class,Personally I don’t care to see anyone of any sexual orientation groping,and/or kissing in public. Can’t you wait till you get home? We see you walking or sitting together, isn’t that enough to see? Its none of my business what you do, and with whom you do it with, so please spare me your inappropriate display of indescretion in public. And now my question to you is, why do you care what people think if you’re so proud of being with your mate? Do our opinions really matter? I don’t think they do.

Name : Disgusted, Gender : F, City : Reidsville, State : NA, Country : United States,I’m sorry, but all those who are replying to this post saying that homosexuality is a sin, and that God condones it, shut up! I’m sorry, but you’re being as discriminating as someone who has a problem with the different color of someone’s skin. And you’re also the same people that go, ‘I’m a good person, because I know that I don’t discriminate people based on their skin tone, or their economic background.’ The truth is, you all have a lot of issues that you need to go through in the back of your mind, whether you’ve been raised this way or not. People like you make me sick. ‘God didn’t intend things to be this way’- bulls***. You go ahead and sit down with God and see why He (or whoever) created all these different people, then. P.S. I don’t believe in the Adam and Eve theory.

Name : Leigh, Race : Bi-racial, Age : 14, City : Minneapolis, State : MN, Country : United States,To give you a straight answer I am a christian and in the Bible it speaks about gays and how it is a sin, so for me just like any other sin i do not agree with it. Now everyone slips up sometimes and sins because humans are not perfect but if you have gay feelings and you act on it then you are sinning and on purpose because it is continuously and you know exactly what your doing. Soo sinc i am a christian when i see it, it bothers me because i know it is wrong and it doesn’t even fit right… God did not make us that way and thats why gays cannot reprodce therefor they don’t have much purpose. When i say that i don’t me the gay as a person i mean the sin that they are doing. I don’t hate the person but i hate the sin that they are doing.

Name : Tyra24936, Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : Black/African American, Religion : Christian, Age : 16, City : Grand Blanc, State : MI, Country : United States, Social class : Upper class,The problem in our society today is way too many ignorant people. Many people believe that being gay is wrong, that gay people should not be allowed to be married, etc because it scares them and makes them uncomfortable. Well too bad! Many things make people uncomfortable and you just need to learn to deal with it! I find it completely rude and discriminatory to not allow gay men and lesbian women to show public displays of affection and to not allow them the same rights as straight men and women. They’re (gay/lesbian people) just the same as us (straight people) and everyone deserves love and compassion. So be proud and show your love! and anyone who resorts to physical violence because they don’t like what they see deserves jail time and the exact same thing done back to them, if they want to beat someone up for being gay then they should be beat up for being an ignorant, uncaring, hateful human being. Also, to all these biblical scholars we seem to have here, the bible has been re-written many many many times so how can we be sure that it was what god really said?

Name : Patrick30445, City : Seattle, State : WA, Country : United States,I see that you’re claiming christianity which I don’t think you fully understand. You were saying that gay couples are the same as straight couples which the bible clearly teaches against. One example is the story of Sodom and Gommarah. i think you are a misrepresentation of the christian faith.

The positions themselves would be sexually unfulfilling to the two males (and dishonest to their own true sexuality)… similarly two women cannot lie with each other as a woman would lie with a man… the pleasure centers on our bodies (as created by your God) call for different ways to find pleasure. Which is divine.
