I just finished reading a book about a lesbian "Rubyfruit Jungle".I highly recommend it, but i want to know what you guys think about lesbians and gays - do you think they are wrong? If you do, why? Religious reasons? Are you grossed out? How do you honestly feel?

They are perfectly fine, decent human beings. And any restiriction on them is a break with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article No. 16.

I think that if two people love each other enoug then people shouldnt judge them ..... god...

Ash to the Lee

I support gays and lesbians. There is nothing wrong with them.

i think its ok cuz i mean people have a right to love and marry who ever they want. i mean everyone in my skool thinks its wrong but i mean u love who u love and u cant change that.

i dont think its wrong. my uncle is in fact gay. i dont disown him, i have to love him. he is my family.
i dont think its wrong! they were born that way if u ask me. my dad told me that his brother (my uncle) was always on the different side, lil more femine than him. he didnt like fireworks, trucks, or workin outside. he liked to stay inside and help his mother in the kitchen. he had few friends..and always struggled. my grandma put him in therapy and all this stuff to see wat was wrong wit him.. but hes just the way they are. its not their fault, its a disorder, or just...different.
neways.. i dont think its wrong.
they oughta be just as free as the straight!!!! and in my opinion ppl need to give them a break..!
and i dont get why guys are turned on by two chicks makin out either! but thats a different (well kinda ) subject for a different day.

I don't believe it's wrong.
They have a right to their
feelings.

I don't think it is wrong. Because they wanted to be gay or *** and it was the choice and they like being wat they are so no on should try to say it wrong because it free will

i think it is there own right to feel free to do wut ever you want i mean i think it is stupid that bush is forcing a law to not have gay marrages i think it stupid cuz my aunt is a *** my cousin is bi! so i could really care less cuz gay guys are awesome to have as friends if you are a girl cuz they give you good tips i mean it is the same with boys!
remember that

Okay first of all this thread is old!

Second aw Sky, you will have a normal family of your own someday.

Also, I think you want a normal family because your mom isn't really there for you. I never had two moms before but if I did, I don't think it would affect me too much because that's what I grewup witt, therefore I won't find it wrong. What will affect me is having my mom not being there and not having my dad not being there. See if you have at least one parent then you will be fine, but if you don't really have neither then you won't like your household whether it's two guys, two girls, or a guy and a guy. I think that's what you mean by normal, to me at least because I don't think the wholeyour mom being lesbian really affects you.

I don't know, I could be way off here

So...Here's the thing...My mom is a lesbian...don't ask how I got here...a crazy drunken night in the back seat of my dad's first car...anywho...the point is...I'm here. I've grown up in houses full of only women. It's completely unnatural for me to go to a friend's house with a complete family unit! I don't know what it's like to have to get "daddy's approval." I would love to have a normal family...but it's just not in the cards for me. ALL of my friends are gay...but I am not. I have every reason to be. The only people I've ever really known are...we're not a close family due to my mother's "choice," but to me she's mom...and so's the other one...whomever she is for the time being. It's just like any other household. That doesn't make her a bad mother. It doesn't make me a bad person. I just have a family. We fight like CRAZY! But that's because she's a *****...nothing to do with her preference on lover. I've dated three guys who've ended our relationship because they're in love with...ready?...a guy! I attract these people, because I take it as a natrual part of life....which pisses my grandpa's wife off by the way...I think that's who they are. It's part of the make-up God painted the earth with. It's no more of a choice than it is to be born black. I love all my friends and family...gay, straight, black, white and even conservative! Anyway, I just thought I'd share my story with you. Thanks for your time.

star, i read your reply, you are a great person.

well i haf to say one thing.. two years ago.. i was STRONGLY against homosexuality.. and bisexuals too for that matter.. i just couldnt get my head around it.. you see i know i was ***** .. but let me tell you a short story okay well.. i had a freind.. and she was really cool.. really nice and funny.. and she always took me to all these cool places and we had a lot of fun.. we were really gud freinds.. then one day.. she told me the biggest secret ever.. that she was a bisexual.. okay at first i was stunned.. but then i was like okay .. well.. i could live with that you know.. but then after she told me that she had a crush on ME.. now when i heard this i went totally bonkers..i dunno wat it was.. i guess i was ashamed of bein her freind coz i thot ppl would b like omg shes bi and she likes ******* so that must been shes bi too (meaning me) and i wouldv been humiliated coz at that time i went to a catholic school.. and you know how it is.. rite.. well so i decided i couldnt associate my self with her and being the b**** that i was i told one of my freinds hu told the whole school .. this was really bad for her .. and she constantly got mocked.. i ddnt dare stick up for her.. in case i did too.. now that i think bout it.. i feel like such a coward.. well neways later on.. a whole GROUP of girls admitted that they were bi.. and she started hanging out with them so i guess.. it turned out good in the end.. well neways.. 2 months ago i found out my favorite cousin hu happens to be a guy is gay... he told me this.. and at first i was astounded.. but after the whole bisexual fiasco.. i guess.. i sortof moved on from that and bcme a new person.. hu prolly ddnt understand but could accept.. so wen i found out.. i was like r u sure.. and hes like yeah.. so after i find this out i find out he has an actual bf..so i mean i guess i was okay wit it you know.. but then four weeks ago.. my cousin went to summer camp and got injured playing football.. so he was rushed to the hospital.. he had left all his bags and belongings there.. so wen his parents went to the camp to get his stuff they searched through the bag to make sure it was his.. and they stumbled upon a letter and a photo adressed to my cousins bf.. the foto was of him and his bf kissing.. wen my aunt and uncle found out they were furious they cut off the internet.. and took away his cellphone.. and the landline phone is always at the presence of someone.. hes not allowed to comunicate with anyone.. lucky for him .. i was there.. and i let him use my cell.. which he called his bf.. telling him the 411. So now.. my cousin goes to a shrink - he hates it there.. he doesnt listen to nefing.. and never cooperates.. lol.. the shrink told his parents that he should get some manners or smfin along those lines.. hehe... AND he has to go to confession at the local church once a week AND go to church 3 times a week .. tuesday thursdays and sundays.. and its driving him crazy.. so all i wanted to say was.. dont judge.. because they are human theyre just like you and me.. i mean sure.. at first i was totally against it but now i realise.. everybody needs happiness and if its going to be with the same sex... then be it..

okay, so, let me so let me try to put this into perspective. I understand that there will be some of you who were brought up christian and believe that homosexuality is wrong because God says it is. I was brought up a christian as well, however I am a homosexual. Being brought up a Catholic, I was also taught that God has a hand in creating each and every one of us. I loved my religion and my church community, as well as my family, who does not approve of homosexuality. I would never in my wildest dreams choose to be attracted to women. In light of that, its my stand point that God created me this way, because try as I might, I haven't been able to change who I am attracted to. Also, when I meet people, they have no problems with me, and usually they will continue to have no problems with me. However it is one of the most painful things on this Earth to meet someone and get along with them, and then to have them find out that I am a homosexual, and to have them disassociate themselves from me. So next time that you see a homosexual couple, instead of automatically thinking that it is wrong, maybe you should comsider that they are people too. Stop judging long enough to realise that they also have feelings, and that all they want from this life is to be happy. A little bit of kindness could do a lot of good in this world that we live in today when hatred and fear prompt every action.

I do not think that lesbians or gays r wrong. they are just different. i have a very good friend that is openly bi and he is no different from any of my other friends. to me ppl that think it is wrong have never gotten to no anyone that is gay, bi, or lesbian, cuz if they did theyd see that there is nothing wrong with them.

I don't give a damn about your sexuality.

If a child grows up and decides to be gay that is their business. It is no ones legal right to be discriminative. So, if you are uncomfortable with gay people then you need to check yourself, and learn that lookin down on people is stupid and that if think its weird, they probably think that heterosexuals are weird, too. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. We can't force our opinion on others, only influence them to respect ours.

Do what in the privacy of your homes? Be gay? No sortof sexual orientation comes into the public eyes besides marriage licences and the ability to hold hands or meaningless things like that. If it's gross for two men to hold hands in public then it's gross for a man and a woman to hold hands in public. This nonsense annoys me greatly. How will children be corrupted by homosexuality? That makes no sense what-so-ever especially considering there is no proof to support that children are more likely to be homosexual if around homosexuals.

Innocent children? Are you aware that more children probably know more about sex compared to adults.

You're welcome Dupree.
