The only morals God wants you to be concerned about are YOURS. Ignoring the insulting comparison . . . who appointed you the condoner of anything??? Friends are not about condoning or not condoning . . . MYOB.

Or how about the largest land animal?





And plenty of other animals practice homosexuality as well.




Human beings aren't even the MOST gay animal in the world.
See how you're preconceived notions can be dispelled with research?

I think this also says something about, dare I say it? EVOLUTION!!!

I do wonder when all those animals LEARNED or CHOSE to be gay!
Do you even know the difference between " homosexual" and " bi sexual"

Nearly all animals are bisexual.

How many animals in those videos are " homosexual" and thus have no sexual interest in females ?

Please learn terminology before trying to prove a point !

..."friends are not about condoning or not condoning"......

Seems most of the posters here who support gay marriage state your present at a gay marriage ...is.. condoning.

Evidently, you read few of the posts.

Here is how most threads about homosexuals progress...........

(a) early on the theme is...."Jesus loved and associated with sinners"

(b) mid stage of thread......." gay marriage is not a sin"

(c)near the end of thread......" there is no God "


I guess if one leads a gay lifestyle, (c) is the easiest to justify gay marriage/gay lifestyle

So, sayeth a fundamentalist ideologue. Your very own lifestyle is suspect. God sees you. There is always hope you will turn from the dark side.

Being gay isn't a "lifestyle". It's just who they are. That's like saying having brown eyes is a "lifestyle" or being left handed is a "lifestyle".

Why do people get so confused on being gay? It's just who you are and how you're born. There's no lifestyle or agenda or anything else there other than just living your normal life. Just the same as people who were born straight.

The lions in the video are not having sex. Dogs do it too, and the humper can be male of female. It is play, and show of dominance.

It seems to be one of those things some christians repeat and repeat, but never take the time to think about that they repeat.

There is nothing about being homosexual that is a lifetsyle.
You live your life just like anyone else, no bible, no beliefs, no rituals, no ceremonies.

Being a christian is a lifestyle.
You folow a book, beliefs, rituals and ceremonies.
Although, most don't really follow them to the letter, but when it comes to condemning, stigmatising and oppressing groups of people they deem them "abominable" they love to throw all those verses at them.

That's actually not true. These animals are usually observed showing signs of seduction as well as some rubbing of the fur on each other, etc.

Another example is dolphins. It is very common that some dolphins form same-sex couples for life. They have some seduction and sex games such as one of them rubbing their penis on their partners's body.

Other animals species form same-sex couples and take care of eggs as in the case of penguins and black swans, also forming same-sex couples for life.

Would it be wrong as a Christian to attend a gay wedding supporting her as a friend or should I just stay away from it all together?
If you have to ask, the answer is obviously 'no'.

And, frankly, I have no idea how anyone peddling the 'lifestyle' nonsense can reasonably be construed as a friend to any gay person.
