if you are gay (like me), know somone who is, and/or have a gay family member, please reply! how does it make you feel? (sad, angry, discusted, worried, proud?)

GAYS DON'TREALLY BOTHER ME I REALLY COULDN'T CARE ANY MORE BECAUSE I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF FRIENDS WHO ARE GAY AND EVEN FAMILY MEMBERS NOT JUST GUYS BUT GIRLS TO SO I REALLY JUST SAY IF I'M ASKED ABOUT GAYS I JUST SAY ITS THERE CHOSE AND IF THATS HOW THEY WANT IT WELL FAIR PLAY FOR COMING OUT.

I just found out a while back that my really close guy friend was gay. It didn't bother me at all, more so made me look into the religious side of it because I am a religious person.

Look, I'm totally religious, but I'm all for homosexuality. It isn't a disease (This example has been given: Try calling gay into work, see if it works out) and it isn't something that Christians should ban together against.

Being homosexual is no bigger a sin than lusting (which we all do) or taking the Lords name in vain. Yeah, it IS a sin, but as long as the person accepts that they are sinning, God forgives them because we are all human. Have any of you ever found yourself liking an actor or actress based on only looks and thinking sexual things about them? Well then, I guess you should be hated as well.

My only problem with homosexuality is from a personal experience. I figure behind every gay man is a woman who loved him, and that sucks. But still, it's not going to change so all of you Bigots can suck it up and deal.

And you just made my point even clearer by putting the definition of objectivity out there. "Unaffected by emotions or feelings." That goes right along with THE faith. Homosexual activity is NOT right even though some may FEEL (emotions) that it is. Thank you for helping my point, even though I think you were trying to make a contradictory point.

Religious justifications have no basis in logic or reason, thus they're entirely subjective. You can't even begin to claim that religion is "unaffected by emotions and feelings". You're just blindly following the dogma of your religion while attempting to label it as logic, and that doesn't quite work.

Ah, okay... you don't hate them individually, you hate them as a whole. Well, that certainly makes things better.

How did you get that out of my quote? Can u read and comprehend? Let me make it clear. Homophobia is the fear/hatred of gay people. What the person before me said is that homphobia is gay people. It is not, it is the hatred/fear. Understand?

Alot of my friends are lesbian, or bi, and i really could not care less. the only thing i have a problem with is if they start making out with a girl right in front of me.

Im not saying being gay/lesbian is wrong, but yes, it is pointless because our purpose in life is to procreate and to pass our genes on, and thats kind of impossible without the opposite sex!

So in conclusion, i dont really care if someones gay/lesbian/bi, just dont do it in front of me, dont hit on me, and DONT KEEP DISCUSSING IT IN REPEAT THREADS!!!

I always thought phobia was a fear?

Sometimes you have to look at things from an objective point of view and quit beig so subjective all the time. I do not agree with homosexual activity. My faith is totally against that. By applying reason with revelation, all sexual activity MUST be open to procreation, and obviously, homosexuals cannot procreate.

ob·jec·tive
adj.

1. Of or having to do with a material object.
2. Having actual existence or reality.
3.
1. Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices: an objective critic. See Synonyms at fair1.
2. Based on observable phenomena; presented factually: an objective appraisal.

Your faith has no aspect of objectivity... congratulations, you've just contradicted yourself.

"When I notice loads of homophobia, it makes me totally proud of them for knowing who they are and being who they are despite all the a**holes out there out there."

Homophobia is the hatred of gay people, not gay people themselves. Hating gay people or anybody for that matter is wrong and sinful. I'm sick of this pansy attitude of society that says, "You are great because you are yourself." I hate that!!! It's so annoying. People are so individualistic that they agree with anything others do as long as the other person feels comfortable doing it. That is not logical at all.

No matter what you do they will never listen. Its the way people are around here. *sighs*

i feel lucky

I have several gay friends and usually it doesn't really make me feel anything. Gay, straight, whatever. I figure either is normal and it's no big deal. People are people.

When I notice loads of homophobia, it makes me totally proud of them for knowing who they are and being who they are despite all the a**holes out there out there.

I go to school in San Francisco... gay central
