I lived in a same-sex household for 3 years. It was called a fraternity house and I was in college and did the same thing for a few years before getting married after I graduated

Then on that census question you would have checked the box that said room mate, not spouse or unmarried partner.

Who’s God? If you are a Christian are you supposed to judge anyone? What’s wrong with live and let live? Gays have been around since the beginning of time. You don’t have to like it. Just get used to it because these people aren’t going away, even with Trump as Liar in Chief...

I also agree with the second paragraph, except that I am comfortable around people who are homosexual or bisexual -- but I admit that I am not at all comfortable around people who are transgendered. But as you said, "I just have to accept and live with them in society as I do believe they deserve all the rights that I do. I don't want to infringe upon their freedoms just because I am uncomfortable with it. There is nothing that can be done to make me feel comfortable with it either."
I don't mind being around gay people. I have a problem seeing two men kissing and acting feminine. However, I am less offended by two women kissing....but don't like seeing that either....really. They could be kissing me I am not potentially missing out on anything when two guys are kissing.

So, no, it isn't "normal" at its very basic principal.
Being homosexual does not preclude procreation, and not all heterosexuals procreate.

This is exactly how I feel about it. As a Libertarian I believe that all people should be able to do whatever makes them happy as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.


If teachers try to indoctrinate kids, THAT is hurting others. They are teachers not parents.

Is there some sort of libertarian instruction manual that tells people what to believe? Why can't you just say what you believe without attaching it to anything?

Funny you mention that. Alot of people living in same sex households might just be roommates and nothing more. Given that it isn't cheap to live alone, some people take up roommates.

You didn't answer my question. Why shouldn't it be normalized? JUST because their a minority? That doesn't make sense.

And if they are roommates they would check the box for roommate, not the one for spouse or unmarried partner.
