I have been confused about the topic system until now. Please ignre my likewise titled topic in this formum.
So far, I have been getting that homosexuality is a sin because it is not the normal sexual orientation. Stop me when I'm wrong, or if you have a different reason.
I would have to agree that homosexuality is abnormal. But I just mean that it's not the norm - I don't mean that it is unnatrual.
My question is: does homosexuality hurt anybody besides Jesus or God? Is there any reason to say that it is a crime or than that the bible says so?
If homosexuality is a sin simply because it is unusual, then I hereby declare lefthandedness, vegetarianism and mismatched socks-wearing to be equivalent sins and punished accordingly.

I don't see really what people's problem with flaunting it is... i mean I don't becuz it'll only bring be grief becuz i'm also fat, but i think that if someone wants to bring that upon themselves, let them do it...
Stop thinking on a personal level for a minute and think what it will do to everyone else. It will bring the whole "community" grief. If you're open with your sexuality, you represent the whole of gay people. Whether you know it or not, and whether you like it or not.
how one earth will it bring grief i no a firend wo was really toung n hrad spoke with a porper sheffiled accent b4 he came out but now he's completly diffrent he has i new set of firends his old one's were a bit homophobic he specks diffrent some time spet 4 wen he's shouting he weres pink and brafs about all the new colothes and stuff he bought but it's dosen't bring me grief nor dose it ne1 eles
But I got the impression that she doesn't think they HAVE a mental disorder, she's saying you should treat them according to the "fact" that they are gay because their genes make them that way.
At least that's what I got out of it. *shrugs*
People shouldn't throw around the words "biological mutation." Ah well.

none the less i have friends that are glbt so seeing glbt people doesnt offend me considering i was there for one of my friends when he came out of the "closet".
Shade, I do believe that Chelsea meant "treated" as in how you treat your friends, not in the medical sense.
Well in that case, that's the wrong way to show respect to people you care about. Believing they have a mental disorder when it's been proven it's not, is not just an outrageous personal opinion, but showing of a bad friendship.

i believe that homosexuality is not just a choice, but i biological mutation and that it should be treated as such.
People have (officially) stopped thinking like that. Homosexuality was taken out of the DSM as a mental disorder years ago.

Slash, I'm fairly sure that's not what she meant either. I think she was comparing the evils of racism with the evils of homophobia, and saying that racism is now considered by the majority of society to be bad and why shouldn't homophobia be treated the same way.
Chelsea, if what I said above isn't true please feel free to correct me. Also, please try to avoid double posts, it clogs up the boards. The little icon with a pencil eraser in the top right of your post lets you edit it, if you forget something.

I don't believe that it should be banned or looked down upon. That is being prejudice, what is the difference between being homophobic and rascist? We are all human, we all have emotions, we all logic and reason.. so why is it that suddle differences in the preferances of relationships classify something as 'wrong'?
I do not agree with the comments that claim homosexuality in the media sends the wrong message to kids. I do not follow whatever I see on MTV or other television shows. Why would someone's choice of who they prefer to date, affect my own? I have my own mind, I don't plan to 'turn lesbian' because I once saw a lesbian on my favorite show.

If you're in love, it shouldn't matter if it's a girl or a boy you're in love with. Love is love, no matter what the circumstances! I don't personally see anything wrong or immoral about 2 girls or 2 boys being in love. Do some people seriously believe that someone who is GLBT woke up one morning and decided, "Hey! I think I'm gonna be gay/lesbian/bi/transexual!" A lot of my friends are GLBT, and it took a while for most of them to come to terms with their sexuality! We should be supportive of love, any kind of love, not hate it because it's different.
I don't have anything against gay people, except for they are gay. I'm sry if I offend anybody but homosexuality is just plain wrong. When is someone going to step up and say it. Just because so many people are gay doesn't mean that it is okay, and we as people should know better.If it is wrong, ITS WRONG. Why does the majority get to prove wheather it is wrong or not
Clpo. As much as I disliked your previous comment, I agree with you. I am a christian, but I do not let my religion interfere with my beliefs pertaining to what I think is right and wrong. I am glad that you are taking your religion seriously, but I don't think that a controvertial statement such as this would be approopriate. God strike me down lest I be wrong, thats just my opinion. Adam and Steve? How long did that one take? Oh, and one thing with Adam and Steve. According to the artifacts and writings, in Rome and Ancient Greece, homosexual relationships were extremely common.
