Gay, Lesbian, bi relationships are okay!!
September 20, 2009
I don't understand why most people in the world don't like people of the same sex to be in a relationship. I'm bisexual myself and people come up to me and start critizing me because i am, but they dont understand that I'm special in my own way just like other ppl, no matter who they are.
Where I live the main population is gay, lesbian and bi people. In front of my school there are even people writing signs saying "God hates America and Fags are not welcomed here!" I am getting so sick of it! This is making us not want to come out and actually be us.
The government has no right to make laws saying that gays can not be married. God and government does not mix people! Get it straight! Some of yur friends might actually be gay, lesbian or bi, and would u not be there friend because of it? If you would, then you are messed up and not worthy of their friendship.

I feel the same way, people today are just to judgemental an will judge a book by its cover. Love can be between anyone, it really is not hurting anyone, so why complain about it. People who claim to be homophobic are just ignorant an are brainwashed to think that gay is wrong. Ask anyone an im sure they would not want their free rights taken away, so why take away a gays right to be happy. That is how i feel about this subject an hopefully people will open their eyes an learn to respect other people's choices.

Um..... I don't think that somebody being g.ay would make me want to leave them alone and shun them. I will however freely admit that if I were to see a friend of mine kissing somebody o fthe same gender, I would find it wierd.
It has always irked me when my peers use the term ga.y as a way to say something is "uncool." I know that each and everytime someone says that within my hearing range, I go straight up to them and tell them that using the term ga.y like they are is offensive and that they should stop. I have even once had to reprimand some 5th graders for using the term like that. It is sad when I have to get on to little kids for something that should already be prevented.

Sex isn't all that matters in a relationship, even though grammar and not comma spamming matters in a comment. (Spelling does, too.) #asexual

I agree, although this isn't that hotly debated anymore... #asexual

Nobody CHOOSES to be gay that is absurd. i strongly dislike it when people say that. im personally straight buteven i can see that it doesnt work like that. they were born like that it was set in their DNA. its like saying oh well African Americans had a choise to be white and they chose to be black... they are not freaks they are human beings

I agree... Note that they did say "God hates the sin, but loves the person." I'm not necessarily a supporter of this, but that doesn't mean I have to lash out at everybody I see. They're the way they are, and I can't help that, so what's the point of discriminating them? Lastly, God loves his children unconditionally. He forgives us, even if he knows that what we are/did was against his set rules. But he gave us free will for a reason, so it's our decision on what we do with our life and how we choose to handle it.

Packer Backer 12- I'm an Atheist, but even I know, because many of my close friends are Christians, so I have read the bible, and I know that if God is real, he doesn't hate homosexuals. He hates sin. And it is a sin to prevent others from being happy just because you think something is strange, or not quite normal, or right. It is a sin to make others unhappy, and therefore, those who try to prevent gay marriage are sinners. And I am more passionate about this subject because I am a lesbian. And its always been in my plan to get married, and I'll get married in what ever state I want. Change is already beginning to happen. Oh and finally? Fag is an offensive term.
Anyone who claims that God hates homos.exuals is wrong. He hates the sin, he loves the person. Church and state should be separate, I agree with you on that. However, it is a church's right to refuse to sanc.tify something their god does not condone. You can get married other places besides a church—leave religious matters to themselves. I'm sorry that the church judges ga.ys, I really am. I hope someday the two things can learn to coexist :) Btw, how is this an article arguing that homos.exualiy is okay? It's more arguing about discrimination being WRONG. just saying :P

Those things were under the old covenant, the one God had with Abraham and his people. When Jesus came, God created a new covenant that says that faith in Jesus Christ will get you to heaven. The old covenant is no longer the only law that today's Christians follow. We follow the doctrines that Jesus taught. Homosexuality is addressed in the old testament, but it is also addressed in the new testament (Romans 1:21-28, 1 Corinthians 6:9, Titus 7, and more). God has made it clear that homosexuality is not okay. That is why eating "unclean meat" is no longer a sin, but homosexuality is. Does that clear things up? I'm willing to go into more detail if necessary.
