Maybe that's how you perceive God, but I view God through a very different lens. When I've been at my lowest point in life and couldn't call upon anyone, the one steady anchor that I've always had is God. My God is not jealous, spiteful or hateful; He's very compassionate and has helped me become a better person.

And sorry, but you're a bigot because you seek to restrict the rights of certain people based on their biology or characteristics of their personhood. You're a bigot because you place a value that someone is better than someone else based on innate characteristics of their being.
Wow, I knew that was coming! I will continue to speak the truth as I know it, even if it ruffles a few feathers. Trust me, I don't care what you do in your bedroom, I'm just tired of hearing that homosexuality, bisexuality and cross dressing are harmless, because that's simply not the case.

Which is what someone's sexuality is. It just "is," no matter how many former-ex-gays-tell you otherwise. It's like the color of their hair, or their skin, or whether they are deaf or blind or left handed. And to be "against it" makes people seem really, really stupid. Or ignorant. Or both.
Well that is what the media propagates, but that's not what I actually agree with.

Quote:
My brother is deaf. I suppose one could "be against deafness" as it is abnormal and his lifestyle is different from that of hearing people, but you'd be an idiot to be "against deafness."
I am very much interested in learning sign language. I'm sure your brother has many challenges as a deaf boy/man, but in my opinion, he is not abnormal. He's a person making due with his hearing impairment.

Quote:
Your son, if he is gay, will have no choice in the matter. And neither do you. Good parents place no value on sexuality because it is mutually exclusive from how one decides to USE their sexuality.
There's ample research that points out that a number of gay individuals were molested as children. For this reason, I'd never allow any child of mine to attend sleep overs (without being present). I think it's imperative for parents to safe-guard their children and to have a thorough idea of what your children are learning and who is providing such instruction.

I wouldn't tell my child to hate anyone, but I will teach him right from wrong.

Something has to REALLY be completely out of whack when one man CHOOSES to take another man in his mouth....or *ss.

COMPLETELY OUT OF WHACK!

If some of you deem that as normal.....and I don't mean normal to YOU, then so be it.
Is it okay when a woman chooses to take a man into her mouth? Or into her anus?

It's just sex. Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean that it doesn't appeal to others. And oral sex and anal sex have been around since the beginning of time. What difference does it make the gender of the persons having oral or anal sex?

In case you haven't noticed there are several thousand Christian denominations. Not all of them condone homosexuality. TRUE religious scholars (not the yokels down at the local chapel of baby Jesus, established 1952), will inform you that the Bible as written today needs to be read in context and that it is preferable to have knowledge of the original languages it was written in.




(Though I hate to break it to American Christians, but IF any one of the thousands of sects DO have it right, it is unlikely that it is any of the American Christian denominations that have been created in the past couple hundred years. Sorry guys.)

Just to be clear on this; is your god the same god that Bideshi, RIVERSMVP14, Harrier and a few others claim to follow? Because you are all pretty inconsistent on the various attributes your god is supposed to have.

What is "male-on-male pig bottoming?" And have you been watching a lot of this kind of sexual act? And can only man on man pig bottom or can man and women also pig bottom?

Here's my ultimate point, whatever you choose to do sexually, as long as it's not with children/teens and animals is between you and your consenting partner. But I don't appreciate the media and the LGBT community acting as though everyone must be on-board with "accepting" homosexuality as normal/good.

Michael Sam has a right to do as he wishes, but I also have a right to formulate my own opinion regarding his lifestyle choices, especially since he broadcasted all of his private business publicly.

If you demand someone "keep quiet" about something that is literally an unchosen part of their being, then you should learn that not everyone gives a crap about your CHOSEN spiritual beliefs. Are you the type who runs around prefacing everything you say or believe with, "as a Christian...."?

And guess what? Aint nobody stopping you, despite the damage wrought to people and their families by people who profess to speak for and act in the name of God and in accordance with their beliefs! Talk about EVIL!

LMAO, ok, thank you Dr. Ruth. Do go on and tell us where you got your psychology or human sexuality degree.

The truth is that bisexuality, homosexuality and heterosexuality is simply orientation.

The way one uses their sexuality (promiscuity, to harm others, etc.) MAY be harmful, but that is not sexuality dependent, and applies across the sexual spectrum.


Cross dressing though? Really? Who gives a fig except busy bodies?

It honestly does not matter "what you believe." The consensus among anyone who actually has authority to speak on the issue is that it is not chosen. 99% of heterosexuals and 99% of homosexuals will tell you that.

He is technically abnormal. It is normal as a human being to hear, and he cannot. Now, just like homosexuality, it is expected that a % of the population will be deaf, so it is not abnormal in the sense of something that is outside of biology.

And guess what: If you learned sign language and were proficient in it, you would STILL NOT BE DEAF. Because the "state of being" is different than the "acts" associated with deafness.

No, there isn't. At least not any reputable, peer reviewed research by any person of academic merit. Hint: Anything "Focus on the Family" links to would never fit this criteria.

You prepare your child for the real world, or they get crushed by it and passed by those whose parents DID prepare them for the real world.

When a Hollywood starlet announces she is getting married to her boyfriend do you immediately think of them having sex on their wedding night? If so, you need help.






Oh? That's what shows "utter lack of intelligence"? Frankly, you have not demonstrated yourself qualified to sit in judgment of the intelligence of others!
I'm not too concerned about your opinion. You wouldn't be able to ascertain the difference anyway.

You aren't expected to participate in his sex life. You do realize that, don't you?

You should keep the TV turned off (or better yet, throw it away) if you're bothered by everyone who is different from you.

Right. I'm absolutely sure wherever you're from you're the village intellectual, but you're going to have to try a bit harder around here.
