    I don't see minority religious affiliated people being prejudice to gays as often as Christians. No offense.

    because Christianity is based off the bible and the bible clearly states homosexuality is wrong, like they say, it wasn't adam and evan for a reason.
  • You're missing my point completely!

    Ok, take my ant example, worker ants are natural, the other ants don't discriminate against them because they are born to work.

    IF gays were natural, then straights wouldn't discriminate against them because they were born to be gay.

    That is my point, not that our ancestors were racist, or anything like that.
    Given. But you did bring up the ancestors point of view of gays being unfit. It's similar to racism.
  • After seeing you guys talk about this I decided to post again, this is my view point.
    I am a Deist that's my "religion." If you don't know what this is I'll explain it, we believe in a higher being who created everything and then let things run it's course, we also believe in the natural way, which is men with woman not men with men.
    I was not picked on by gays when I was little, as I said if you knew my life, you'd see that being picked on would have been a luxury.
    Don't involve racism into this thread, since it has nothing to do with this.
    The world has always been "civilized", if it hasn't then how did we get to where we are now? We didn't evolve, we just stayed with the same traditions and view points as a few people paved new roads. Do you really think that during the renaissance there weren't people who though homosexuality was alright? But this was the opinion of the minority, and the majority who saw this and still see this as unnatural said and knew it was wrong.

    Achem. Islam actually says to kill gays. (though the unwritten law seems to contradict that. just look at their culture.)

    and not many MAJOR religious groups openly support gays.

    And Christians are zealous because they sincerely believe that God/Jesus Christ is real and will come back in the final judgement.

    And because they are told to go out and convert PEACFULLY (not forced conversion, like with swords >.>) They try their utmost to bring people to see the truth they believe in.

    Yes some can be pushing and be jerkish, but those people just really need to work on their social skills, it's not a universal thing.

    my point with that was the same with the ant example, they didn't think it was natural; and Gays aren't a race i don't think....

    Racism and prejudism is related.

    Your saying since ancestors were prejudice then it's still okay.
    But they were also rascist. It was okay to be rascist back then.

    Is it now? No. Is it okay to be prejudice to gays? Yes.
    Hypocrisy.
  • Tommy's little experiment turned into a gay argument.

    SAUL, you should be a politician.

    Christianity is the Bible. Bible = Christianity.

    though now it has spread into so many groups that it disgusts me.

    Given. But why should one's sexuality be disliked if it isn't natural?

    Never said gays are a race. Racism and prejudism are cousins.

    kind of funny....i wonder if PickleMuntza thought about how this thread would turn out.

    I bet he did this so that he could see who was Pro-gay and who wasn't. >.>

    If not, then he his experience on the forums has been wasted.

    ok good now that that is done with.

    It's just the gay life style touches the very core of one of the most precious things we humans have.

    SEX...is just more than repopulating. but that's another argument.

    It's about the friendship of two people who want to live their lives together.

    EDIT: and that friendship has been restricted TO a man and woman since Humanity came into being.

    If you are asking why, look at my ant example again.
  • Nah this was made out of a dare :p

    >.0

    well than...you shouldn't play truth or dare. because this happens. :D

    What I'm saying is that I believe in what nature created, nature did not create homosexuals, if it had then there would be no need for females, since men would be able to reproduce with each other.

    Racism, are you kidding me, I am an immigrant do you know how hard it is to get fair treatment?all your answers are based on "what you've heard"
    Actually prejudice is naturally racism isn't, racism was created so one race could enforce its believes and laws over the other race. Prejudice existed since the beginning, animals use it to pick mates, if they didn't then animals would fail to survive, the prejudice against homosexuals is a way for humans to know that in order for the human race to survive, reproduction must occur between male and female.
  • Gay people will never be fully accepted by everyone. Ever.

    As long as there are two genders, with 1 specifically only able to give birth, there will always be differing opinions on sexuality. Sure, you can say we live in a "civilized" world, but that doesn't mean much... since humans are humans. Prejudice, racism, you name it, it'll always be here.

    You can try to argue your beliefs, but just don't expect to lead a peaceful life if you'll never tolerate others' decisions. People can disagree with those who are gay, fine... just act mature and tolerate it when they won't change their minds. The same goes for people defending those who are gay. If they don't want to change their mind, drop it.

    2 cents for ya, see ya.
  • I hope a mod doesn't close this....i haven't had a great debate in months.

    though if it starts to flame.....

    What does making babies have to do with true love? If a man loves another man or a women loves another women, we, HUMANs like them, should openly put our arms together.

    This is the 21st century. Old ideas are out.
    I, myself, am Asian. Does that stop me from being myself? No. If I were gay,
    I would be imprisoned in my soul because of other people that may as well be your damn neighbor.

    Yes new ideas will advance us. But Old ideas help us from becoming to
    "wild and out of control."

    they have provided standards that have withstood the test of time.

    But those that flame gays is different.
  • Funny how some people despise gays so much yet they would cheer at a lesbian show.

    Love is a word created by humans in order to express the feeling which the need for reproduction creates.
    If old ideas were out, then there would be no borders, if this really was a new world where everyone understood and appreciated one another tell me why my people are being persecuted in Arizona by the color of their skin so they can be send back across the border.
    You have a weak mind and heart my friend, if you would imprison yourself just because of someones opinion.

    Recent event of a group of gays killing themselves because they were bullied
    for being gay. My heart dropped.

    I wore purple proudly. Although I'm straight.

    i did....but all i'm saying is that being gay is a choice.

    if you want to be gay, fine, it's just that some people (majority) will think you are striking at something very dear to humanity. (sex) and they think that you are corrupting that precious bond.

    I could go full evangelist on you, but i'm afraid of having this thread closed due to such a sensitive subject.

    I am against the issue in the southwest.

    But,
    love is more than a feeling.
    It's a feeling that lasts.
    How can humans purposely break that apart?
  • As I said, I dislike the idea of reproduction between same sex.

    Homosexuality can manifest itself in other species, it is not exclusive to humans. I don't understand why some misinformed people keep saying it is a choice or/and a perversion.

    the bullying issue will always be a problem. for gays and for anyone.

    very little we can do about that unless we do reform to a Judeo-Christian worldview of everybody not being a jerk.

    however, that is unlikely and only happens in a perfect world.

    Thanks for the debate.
    I understand,
    but love. I just cannot express the evil of humans.
