None of my business.

We are all humans. Love is love. Love unconditionally and treat everyone with respect.

I am a Christian (Southern Baptist/Church of God). The Bible says Homosexuality is against God's will, so I think it's unnatural and wrong. I also live in America and respect it's laws. We are taught to hate sin but love the sinner. I do not harass, condemn, or judge those that I disagree with, but I don't support them either. I try to live by the Golden rule, and treat everyone with respect. I believe there are only two genders, marriage is only between a man and a woman, and abortion is wrong. Only God judges man, it is not my place to impose my will on others. I don't hate anyone, and I never intentionally hurt anyone, but I don't care for the seemingly constant bombardment of the 'gay lifestyle'.

I've had some pretty uncomfortable experiences over the years. From a gym that I used to work out at.. too other areas of my life where I have encountered gay men or gay couples. I will spare you the details. And this is not all of them by any means. I know men can wear their lust on their sleeves for women....I'll say no more at this point. I'm sure u catch my drift.

Yeah, welcome to our world.

If two adults of the same gender have a romantic relationship, why would I care?

They aren't hurting anybody and my life isn't affected by it.

I'm not pro-gay or anti-gay. It just doesn't matter to me.

That said, I don't like the ones who make a big deal out of it and are obnoxious, but that is because I don't like obnoxious people in general.

It was an honest question. Why does homosexuality get such disparate treatment compared to other sins by so many Christians? Are you aware of the context of those Leviticus quotes referring to abomination as a prohibition of male temple prostitutes and the English translation is disputed? Why don’t Jews condemn homosexuality so fervently despite the fact that they are essentially still living the Old Testament?

Why is it made into such a boogeyman? Why is hate for homosexuality also so often coming from people engaged in sloth and gluttony? Just self hate and they’re the scapegoats to project onto?

Collectively they act as if Jesus was quoted directly in the Bible saying they should be called out for special treatment. I personally don’t know how anyone reads the Bible and comes away with that rather than to approach everyone with love.

Could care less! Why should you tell someone who you have sex with?

Neither. I think it's just a peculiar subset of humanity.

Like having a foot fetish, it's nothing I'd advertise, but shouldn't be illegal.

Homosexuality isn't a paraphilia/fetish I don't think you can compare the 2. It's also about romantic and emotional attraction. And in my opinion it is nothing to be ashamed of.
