i am not because i follow the bible and the bible says it is a sin. and i cant just be ok with something that is a sin.

I so agree with you Twilight_Dream. We must stay in the faith with God's Holy Word. The world is changing so fast, all for the worst. Almighty God will not change. Good is good, sin is sin, that will not ever change.

I am for, because I think love is love. I realise the Bible may say differently, but I am all for a little bit more love in a world that so desperately needs it.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Everyone has the right to love, no matter what. The way I look at it, who someone falls in love with is none of my business and it shouldn't really bother anyone.

well then, that PROVES my theory, god in cruel. who gives F*** of what people do?

i understand all you're points. but i can't agree with them. so shall it be written, so shall it be done.

Screw every body that doesn't believe in Gay rights! Except for God, of course.

some of you may not follow the bible, but i do. because in the bible it says that no homosexuals will go to heaven. so i can't "accept' people who are gay. i don't hate them, but i just can't accept their lifestyle's. and plus, God would have only made one gender if they were supposed to be together. but he didn't, he made two. so men will have women, and women will have men. not women with women, or men with men.

^ So, if I could get your point clear:

Basically you don't hate them or dislike them, you just disagree with them?

So you disagree with them, but you don't hate them?

^yes, i think so.

why not ?i mean yeah i know it is in the bible and stuff but it's not you who is doing it so let the others do whatever they want it won't affect YOU.

ppl can be what they want to be

Okey-dokey then.

As I have said sin is sin, God's Holy Word does NOT chance with time. However birth defects can affect the body, the mind and the hormones. If one is born with a defect that counter-minds with the sex of the body, then that person might not have a choice to his/hers sexual choice. If a person is of good health in all ways but chooses to be homosexual, then that is a chosen sin. With this all said and done, we CANNOT judge. We don't know what's going on with each person. "Judge not, least ye be judged".

God gave us the right to live our lifes in our own path, its humanitys choice wether or not they want to be straight or homosexual, God gave us a choice, and though it is a sin in Gods bible, its a sin to be untrustworthy to yourself to express what you really are.

bubbles0 - sorry, but thats just bull. to say its ok to go against God's holy word so you can be "true" to yourself is just a lie straight from the Devil.

I don't think people can attribute everything that is implied as wrong in a book to an entity which may not exist.

you know... gays are fussing that people are not accepting them for who they are... well they need some time to think about accepting themselves and who god created them to be.

But they have accepted who they are- that's the point.

I'm neutral. I don't judge homosexuals, and I don't put them down, but I also don't go out and "support" gay rights. Personally, I don't think it's wrong, as long as it's not a choice (I wouldn't know), and the verses in the Bible that people interpret as homosexuality being a sin can be interpreted in several other ways as well, which is why it's a huge controversy. I know lots of people think those verses are talking about threesomes rather than homosexuality. But, I also want to be safe just in case it really is a sin, so I just don't really take sides with this concept.

and plus, God would have only made one gender if they were supposed to be together. but he didn't, he made two.

I see where you're coming from, but if that were the case, everyone would be gay. I think the way most people for gay rights would see it, God made two genders so that they could have a choice. Er... I probably worded that wrong...

Since there are two genders, both of which can be attracted to either of said genders, God created both. You said "if they were supposed to be together" as if heterosexuality didn't exist. Yes, two genders were created, but apparently, two sexual preferences were created as well.

^ These aren't exactly my beliefs, btw. I'm just trying to look at it from another perspective.

YES!!! GAYS CAN BE WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!! MY GOD PARENTS ARE GAY!!!
ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT THEY WILL GO TO HELL ARE IDOITS!!!! THE BIBLE SOULDN'T BE TAKEN LITERLY!!!

I don't agree with it, especially when it's trying to force some Christian establishments to allow gay marriage, & other stuff like that, thus taking away rights to them as well. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't hate homosexuals, but I will never agree/accept homosexuality as a complete right, since it's against God's Word, which has never been disproven, whereas all this science *theories* have proven just to be speculation/opinions.

I'm actually objected to this ( i don't hate it but i don't like it either)but...The "fact" that bible says that homosexuality is a sin..THIS is very stupid and senseless in my opinion..God wants us to love each other,no matter what race,or colour we are..and that counts for homosexuality
ok,i don't understand the gay rights but..Com' on,we are all people,we are created by God,we live in the same world

The discrimations,jealousy and hate is what separates us from each other
If u really had a chance to meet the others,i'm sure you'd see that they are not as bad as u thought
I'm 100% christian and i know what i'm saying
This is what i believe

I don't support it because the Bible says not to, But I don't hate others that are Gay. Because the Bible also says "Hate the sin, not the sinner."

The most important message of the bible(for me) is love. And I don't think love could ever be wrong!

Love isn't wrong. Of course not!

But, homosexuals are committing sin (don't intend to repent), even if it's against God's Word. Everyone sins. We all will until it's our own time to go. BUT, confess, ask to sin less (can't be sinless, since that's Jesus). Pray for others, even if u think of them as an enemy, an annoyance, someone in need, or the unsaved.

Christians who love the homosexual person can choose to disagree with that person, knowing it's not their whole personality (being homosexual), & try to lead them to Christ (via The Holy Spirit is at work), & pray for them, but not stop loving them. Jesus even sat with sinners, but disagreed with them, & encouraged them to follow the better path of life (Him/The Father).

We are all sinners. There's no escaping it while on earth. But, sinning less (asking for it from God), is possible too. But, the problem with homosexuals is that they don't see anything wrong with what they are doing, thus being unrepentant. That's why I don't see how it's right for this to be pressed on Christians/the population, just like it isn't right for Christians to hate/force our own beliefs on others.

& the impression this whole *gay rights* thing is giving off is that we have no freedom of religion anymore, Christians are being forced to allow homoseuals to get married, etc. It isn't right at all. That's just as bad as judging due to skin color. The difference between racial civil right & *gay* civil *right*? Racial civil rights aren't against God's Word (which says love thy neighbor as thyself) while homosexuality is a choice listed among many sins (it's not being judgmental if we as Christians disagree with it, we don't hate the person, just don't agree with their choice is all), thus not a civil right.

no no no

You guys make me cry more than the Titanic movie! God forgives, he didn't write the Bible, the Bible is messed up! No wonder Marik won't admit his feeling to Bakura!

you cant help who you fall, and im sure jesus would think the same thing. we were all made in gods image at the end of the day.

no god, didnt write the bible, but every word of it was inspired by him, it is his holy word.
