I fail to see how not accepting homosexuality is respectful. Especially given the consequences of such actions.Khonnor wrote:You can't gain respect by not respecting others.

Actually, the Old Testament is full of bigamy. And rape, which is okay if you pay the victim's family a decent amount of money. And incest. Oh, and it's okay to fuck your slaves. (I hope I don't get a warning for having used this infamous word.) If Christians want to base their claims of 'traditional marriage' on the Bible... well, I wish them luck!Disney's Divinity wrote:The only thing I don't get is how some people act like homosexuality is so wrong (when actually it's found in nature--created by God--just so you know), that they forget that the Bible actually finds all forms of sexuality/lust similarly repulsive. Monogamy was promoted because most people aren't capable of being celibate--better to marry than "burn" (with lust). [...]

Well once Brenders stops talking like Elmo in the third person, he will find other men that he likes. However if you don't want him I'll gladly take him.

I know what you mean, agree with you. As I was telling someone here in chat, I'm usually attracted to men with their clothes on more than just naked.ajmrowland wrote:I take the nudist pov and say neither are really that attractive and in the media are a dime a dozen. Okay , the chick is but when you expose yourself to such images enough, the thrill is lost.
I'm confused- are you trying to stand up for gay people?

If that's supposed to be a dig, coming from you- it doesn't work.CampbellzSoup wrote:dumbass follow what I'm saying.
Look, you're all over the map here. If you have issues with other people for being gay and you're gay yourself, don't come in a thread like this to piss and moan. I don't see many people here as conflicted with being gay as you are. And if you don't think you are (conflicted), then quit judging people for liking what they like and assuming that to like something girly means a man is girly.CampbellzSoup wrote:I said that just because gay people "choose" you're trying to devalue my whole opinion. I know you don't "choose" what you like; you are born that way.
I said that I don't believe in or like social gay culture, how emphasis is placed on being permiscious or being girly. I myself am a gay man and I don't like to go in gay culture at all - i'm disgusted by it. I've been in a relationship for almost 2 years - so I an speak from what I know.
Although I'm not gay, I do agree with this. I really does give a bad stereotype perception about gays outside gay community and probably one of the stereotypes labels that lead some people to have homophobic attitude towards gays.CampbellzSoup wrote:I'm not a fan of "gay culture" meaning the men in bikinis and the feathers and drag...it just demeans and devalues people's persception of those who choose to like the same sex.

I don't know. Seems to me that there are a lot of people don't mind gay people, as long as they act "normal". That doesn't really strike me as open minded.Super Aurora wrote:Although I'm not gay, I do agree with this.

I also agree to a certain degree. Most gay people I know are annoying. As a gay guy myself I have to say it's very hard to meet nice gay guys. Even with means of being just friends. Hell, it's why I've made it a policy to remain friends with an ex.Super Aurora wrote:Although I'm not gay, I do agree with this.
