Because it's like saying that you don't believe in someone's skin color, or someone's sex.

As the other poster said, gay people lead any number of lifestyles, just like anyone else.

And no one is forcing you to do so.
So sad that you can't be happy for people who love each other.
It's hard to find in this world, why would you want to deny that to a human?

BTW, gay is not a "lifestyle" - it is a person's sexual orientation.

So you believe that "Latesha" is the only type of people that are on welfare having babies huh? What about the Jews in New York with kids after kids, the hispanics with kids after kids, the Russians and other races who are ALSO on welfare and having multiple children; some of whom are mothers for multiple fathers? I guess "blacks are the only ones on welfare in America. When I lived in an apartment complex, my next door neighbor who has never left the state of Florida in her entire life was on welfare and both children belong to different fathers and both her and her mother are on welfare. She's white.

Ok it seem as though I have to be literal with some people in here. I don't believe that the gay lifestyle is correct, I do not believe that man should be with a man as he is with a woman and vice versa. However, I am not God and will cast no judgement against them nor would I condemn them for living their lifestyle. I will treat them just as a treat anyone else, I SIMPLY JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT MAN AND WOMAN SHOULD BE INTIMATE OR ANY OTHER COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER UNLESS.

You don't agree with gay men and lesbians expressing their love for one another through sex and affection. In my book, you go down as a gay basher, and I'll be happy to write you a fifty page thesis on why you are one.
You can cast your judgement on me but at the end of the day I won't lose any sleep over it. I simply don't believe that man or woman should be with someone of the same sex as a heterosexual relationship. Do I turn my nose up at them when i see them? No because that's not my business what they want to do in their bedrooms as long as it's not illegal.

Ok I really do have to be more detailed when reply to a topic in here. In layman's term, just because I don't believe in it (Meaning I do not think the relationship is right) does not say I don't believe it exists. I am sure you don't believe in a lot of things but you know it exists. However, if it is necessary for me to use proper grammar on a chat forum then please say so, because I honestly did not believe this forum was started as a english class. Should I also be using proper punctuations and spellings as well?

You were not judged; you were analyzed. You tried to escape the label of "gay basher," and I still say that you are one, given your pronouncements. Of course, I don't expect you to recognize that.

Basically, you don't believe in what you don't understand. That's the crux of your "belief."

Well, it seemed a necessary enough question, because I have asked the same as some posters on this very forum, and they've said that yes, it's all acceptable as long as the couple remains celibate. So some really do feel that way.

There is a direct correlation between education level and religious intolerance/anti-gay bigotry. Those with less education seem more easily coerced into Bible literalism and all types of intolerance.
