1) At this point, why is sexuality even an issue? Why's it matter who's gay and who's not? Why must we quantify everyone in either a "gay" or "straight" category? And, once we do, what of it? Does that change anything at all? If it does, then what changes? If it doesn't, then why do we do it?
2) What's up with the idea that people can choose their sexuality? Some of the respondents spoke of the gay "lifestyle" and it's inherent "choice." Like there's some on/off switch. I remember the first girl I had a crush on: Meg Ryan (no, not the actress. There was actually a Meg Ryan in my 5th grade class). I didn't like her because I chose to, I liked her because I had an instinctual, biological reaction.
But I've done too much talking. On to the comments.
Dave: Personally I think it is immoral and unnatural. That being said, I don't care. If someone wants to be gay or thinks they were born that way, whatever. I only have 3 issues with it: 1. You do NOT need to be married. A union gives you all the rights anyone else has. Leave marriage alone. 2. Keep it out of my face. There is constant bombardment of the gay life. From the TV channel LOGO, to all the gay characters on TV shows and in movies. 3. Keep it away from my children. Public schools do not need to read books about gays or teach about gays.
Dude in Arizona: So you're gay? Do you think we all want to hear about it?!? Keep it to yourself - it's nothing to be proud of.
Buck Jones: Dude in Arizona, so you're a BIGOT? Do you think we all want to hear about it?!? Keep it to yourself -its nothing to be proud of.
JD: Rank perversion. Keep it hidden in the closet where it belongs.
SamBecks: Homosexuality is sick and wrong. TV has become so corrupt, I don't even watch it anymore. I'm sorry, but opposition to homosexuality is not bigotry anymore than opposition to adultery. It's just plain wrong!
JR: Homosexuality is sin and it is destroying our society. It's not a lifestyle choice that has no affect on others. God created men and women to be married in monogamous, heterosexual relationships. As an example, healthy psychological development in children depends, in part, on having two loving committed parents, a father and mother. More and more, this is becoming clear by contrasting children who are reared in Christian homes with a loving father and mother, and those who are reared in other types of homes. Generally, Christian homes produce children who are well adjusted and have the tools to be effective and successful in our society - far more so than children deprived of a loving, committed father and mother.
Dan: I do NOT hate homosexuals, nor do i have a "fear" or "phobia" of them. I DO hate the sin of homosexuality. God loves everyone regardless of the choices they make- however, homosexuality grieves the Holy Spirit. It is a perversion of His spectacular and amazing design. He makes this clear when He states in Lev. 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination." And before I get flamed for the latter paragraph regarding what God states- I will make one final statement- it doesn't matter if you believe in God or not- there WILL come a day when you will stand before Christ and WILL answer to Him. This is a fact, surely as the sun will set today and rise tomorrow.
