What's your opinion on gay people?

justin · June 04, 2008, 09:48:03 PM

What's your opinion on them, and why? Personally I don't have a problem with them, and I don't know why anyone should, but I'm still interested to hear what you think. Also I'm bi! Thanks.

Tsunokiette · June 05, 2008, 10:42:19 PM

Have no problem with the people themselves (as long as they don't hit on me). After all, one of my distant family members is gay. However, I do not agree with the choice and I believe it's wrong. Because I believe in the Bible, it says it's wrong. Plus, (my opinion), it's just not natural.

As for being born gay. That doesn't mean you look around one day as a kid and start to get interested in your own sex. That means that since birth you've always liked the opposite sex. A majority of the people who are gay have been abused by their fathers. I don't mean physical abuse or anything, maybe just something like no attention. Et cetera. Trying to fill their life with a male figure.

Gay people in general don't bother me. I have gay and bi friends, they dont try to push anything to serious on me and it doesnt bother me.

I guess this would depend mainly on religion or life experience. But i wont get into tose because things could go bad (I see some form of religious argument occouring here so ill leave what i have to say at that)

Gay/Bi people only bother me when they go out of their way to make it public that they're gay/bi, like I'm supposed to care, get offended, or give them some kind of special attention for it or something.

justin · June 06, 2008, 05:05:57 AM

Yes, thanks for your replies. I understand your points of views and I'm happy that your opinion is not something absurd. Like, kill all the gays. Or something.

QuoteA majority of the people who are gay have been abused by their fathers. I don't mean physical abuse or anything, maybe just something like no attention.

My father never abused me in any way, physically, emotionally, or attention-wise, and I turned out to be bisexual. Whatever someone's sexuality turns out to be, I'm fairly sure lack of a father figure has nothing to do with it. Although, in some cases it might. Just not with me, haha.

It's the modern era. Our time is now, this includes everyone.
Quite a number of my friends and acquantainces are gay (or bi) and there's nothing wrong with them, really.

They're still human.

Uh what

Tsunokiette · June 07, 2008, 03:29:26 PM

Lol, kill all the gays xD

I don't think I've ever known someone who thought like that, besides that one church. (can't remember the name)

@Halo : It's natural for humans to try and fill their lives with something they never had as children. It's not a difficult concept. For example, a guy who never had enough money to get toys as a child ends up spoiling himself when he gets the money to. Stuff like that.

Karo Rushe · June 08, 2008, 12:34:44 PM

I oly turn Bisexual because . . . say I just started to read certain stuff I shouldn't have at a young age because of curiosity & my parents are the kind to not telll you stuff ti'll your around 19 or 20 -.-

Seriously, I did not understood until then.

But, it all depends on the situation given :/

You have a point, but since when did "Abuse by father" lead to "Lets have sex with the same gender"

Getting emotionally attached to a male figure (or anybody for that matter) can lead to sex. Or just a relationship in the first place. How's the best way to start a relationship with a girl? Be her friend. Same with guys. The reason this doesn't (usually) happen in families, is because a relationship of that magnitude within a family is seen as taboo. If you don't see homosexuality as a taboo, then it's simply the next step.

I don't like gay people. I don't like them because I find the thought of anal sex disgusting, even when it's a man and women preforming anal sex. Something about it seem so damn wrong.

Falcon · June 10, 2008, 11:12:04 AM

Tsuno has basically the same idea as me. I could care less what two men do in their bed, but if they do that shit in public (make out, whatever), I get ticked off; I don't care what anyone says, it's really not natural.

Esmeralda · June 10, 2008, 11:55:42 AM

Right, 'cause all gay people have sex. Right?

Moss. · June 10, 2008, 01:31:32 PM

It's perfectly natural to make the connection between relationship and sex. In fact, in today's day and age, a sex-less relationship would be nearly unnatural. The point you're trying to make is pretty weak, Rabbit. Especially in a discussion that relies heavily on what is "natural" and what isn't.

Level 61 get.

ahref · June 10, 2008, 04:51:39 PM

Homosexuals do your stuff at home please. I dont mind you showing affection to each other out in public just dont get too frisky before getting a room.

Ah, I don't see anything wrong with it. But to each his own - some sexual positions aren't ideal to other people. However, what people do in their bedrooms shouldn't affect your opinion of them. It's their own business, and as long as they're not shouting their sexual feats in your face, you shouldn't think less of them.

I have to agree. (Except with the whole having no problem with anal sex).

Forty · June 15, 2008, 01:13:12 AM

I just find homosexuality extremely unnatural.

If whoever created us (I believe in a Christian God) wanted men to mate together He would have given us a vagina and a penis.
I'm at edge when it comes to homosexuals; I am just a smidgen homophobic, if that makes sense.

justin · June 15, 2008, 01:58:48 AM

Ah, but it is my belief that if God truly didn't want homosexuality then he would have made sexual attraction between men nonexistant. Also I'd like to think that God wants us to do what makes us happy.

Dwarra? · June 15, 2008, 02:09:58 AM

justin · June 15, 2008, 03:04:12 AM

Yes, thank you. I couldn't find a way to say that without sounding rude, although you seemed to manage it just fine. Religion always manages to creep it's way into any homosexuality debate, which is a shame seeing as how a much more intelligent conversation can occur when you put aside the 'argument' of "God said so."

Scooby · June 15, 2008, 01:37:29 PM

I've made a conclusion.
Gay people are gay.

Lol, I don't mind them, but with a homophobic dad, I don't like flamers.

Lol, cool I made a rainbow. It fits the thread.

I know the rainbow is wrong, but I tried

I'm not going to bring religion into this thread more than I've already done in my initial post.
I will however, speak about the logic that you used.

Saying God would make attraction between males nonexistent if He didn't want there to be homosexuals is flawed. That like saying if God didn't want people want old guys raping and murdering prepubescent girls then he wouldn't make them attracted to the girls.

I realize I'm using extremes, but it's the same logic.
