I don't understand why people can have such a massive thing against people that are gay, lesbian, bi or trans.
Some of the best people I know are gay/lesbian.
We're all human...
Personally I think it's right and I don't understand why people have a problem with it...?

I know a lot of people that belong to the lgbt population who are all very kind. But a few of them are asses(no one on here). What really matters is who they are not their sexual orientation.

Not everyone that is LGBT or a supporter of it is the world's greatest person...but I agree. I fail to see how it's wrong but often hear the "They go against God's plan" argument. That's nice, new plan, deal with it!
And the only humans that are wrong are those that harm children, violate others, torture others, or see nothing wrong with any of those types of people that I've listed.
Calling someone wrong because they don't wear their gender's clothes, love someone of their sex or whatever, is pathetic.

If homosexuality is wrong, just because the Bible said so, the following things are wrong also:
Tearing your clothes (Leviticus 10:6)
Mixing fabrics in clothing (Leviticus 19:19)
Trimming your beard (Leviticus 19:27)
Take your pick, plenty to choose from in this here Bible.

Everyone can be an ass, no matter what their orientation, race, gender etc is. I know A LOT of asses (unfortunately).
I'm glad someone else agrees with me that it (should) depend(s) on the actual person and their personality rather than their orientation.

In my opinion anyone that believes and follows a religion that has no hard evidence that their God actually exists, should look at themselves before they judge others (but that's coming from someone that needs cold, hard evidence before them to believe in something like that).
I agree with that, the bit about the humans that are wrong.
I hate the fact that we live in such a judgmental society. That some people are too scared to come out and be who they really are... Because of what people might think/do.

Some people have issues with accepting change, you can't say you haven't resisted change at one point. Imagine a raised Catholic who can't handle change well suddenly being introduced to a whole shitload of LGBTs. They're now going solely off of what they've been taught, and assuming it's wrong. When someone tries to tell them otherwise, they will refuse the change in thinking.
You can't hate people for immediately thinking LGBT is wrong. If you hate them for that, I give them every right in the fucking world to hate you straight back.

I believe it's fine. I have no problem with it. Just don't shove it in my face all the time and we'll be cool.

I respect that, when I'm out and about in town or wherever with my girlfriend, we don't go around shoving it people's faces, being all over each other as we know that someone people don't like it, and it wouldn't be fair on them. And I'm not really a fan of public affection anyway.

I don't have anything against Bi lesbian gay or trans gender people its just awkward at times, thats all.
Honestly if LGBT goes against god's plan then why would they be here in the first place? this is why I am not christian. alot of these beliefs don't make sense to me. I feel that if jesus the founder of christianit really was the son of god and told us how god wanted us to dress and how to keep our hair then he must've been really judgemental in my opinion. however that dosn't mean I don't 100% think god is fake. I still have some belief in him, I just consider him as if he were just another person. we are all equals.

You can't blame anyone for blindly following the only teaching they've heard. All they know in their mind is that it's wrong. So right away, they're going to accuse you of being wrong. Grow up and put on some big girl pants and explain to them why you think their way of thinking is flawed. If you reason with them, you might be able to break through to them.

It's awkward to be around any couple who are displaying affection. Therefore, it can get awkward with any relationship.

This is the exact type of attitude that makes people more intolerant of homosexuality. If you're just gonna tell anyone who opposes it to fuck off, they're going to continue to think it's wrong and with now a personal reason. What happened to "Make Love, Not War"? I see a heap of LGBTs and 'supporters' now making a bad name for the community by being close minded and shut off to believe that someone else can have a different thought process.

I know heaps of gay people and they make me wish dead babies would rain from the sky. Every fat blond gay dude i know is obnoxious and annoying as hell. should this affect the way i view all homosexuals? no, and it doesn't. I have no care if they are homosexual or not. Your personal experiences should influence how you view something as a whole.
But i also believe that people with different beliefs should be accepted even if we disagree. the people who are anti-homosexuality and the people who are pro-homosexuality should have the same rights to walk down the street waving their banners.

Seems like it's a cycle.
We can all have our opinions, and we can have opinions on other people's opinions. None are right, none are wrong. Somehow we have to find a nice balance.
If a person's openly bashing and attacking/hurting a person because they see them as a waste of life though and would rather those types of people rot on the road in the burning sun, I think that opinion should've just been kept to themselves quite frankly. The extremists I guess are the ones that should probably be a bit more humble in their thoughts.

Religion =/= ignorance. Just because someone is religious, doesn't make them ignorant. Some are yes, but some atheists are just as if not more ignorant than some. This is coming from an athiest.
Nor is it ignorance to dislike a person for a stupid reason. We're allowed to dislike people, they know exactly why they don't like you and yes it sucks but not everyone in the world is going to like you. If it's not because a person's gay, then it'd be because that person spits wherever they like or picks their nose. I think extra-matrial sex is a terrible thing, couples known as Swingers would strongly disagree. It's an opinion, it affects them because I spit on the lifestyle they've chosen for themselves, but I can have my opinion nonetheless nor does that make me ignorant.

You'll get there. Maybe not in this lifetime, but keep fighting for that right. My grandma's old and often laments how lucky she is to have seen the end of segregation and she only wishes her mother could too, she remembers how a random white woman walked up to her in the desegregated school she'd just got a job in and hugged her.
But there's still going to be the homophobes and those who don't agree. That's life. Again, we've all got our opinions and are entitled to them. Just like how we can support LGBT, some don't. In my opinion those people suck, but just go about your life there's really nothing else you can do but feel comfortable in yourself and keep on truckin.

I don't really see it as "right or wrong", it just is what it is. And I am fully convinced that I was born gay, so no one can take that from me.
Do I wish it was more widely accepted? Of course. I would love to tell all my family and friends what I am, but that's just not realistic right now. Hiding it is actually pretty easy though, since I have a lot of straight boy interests.

Evangelism (by any part of a community) is as socially unacceptable as smoking in a restaurant. You can't expect tolerance if you go round blowing smoke in peoples faces. Tolerance and respect need to be upheld by both parties.
Right and Wrong are very difficult to pin down. Pain, fear, hatred are all very tangible by comparison. If a decision can be predicted to cause more of these things than it will save, it is unlikely to be a decision that would please your God or fellow man.
People can and are changing - the LGBT community needs to allow them the chance to change. We've seen major political figures and religious figures changing their perspective on gay marriage over recent months in the UK (and the US), and I was just today reading about Jesse Jackson (http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/09/12/us-reverend-jesse-jackson-has-no-problem-with-marrying-same-sex-couples/) who has changed his position since 2010 and is now totally cool with gay marriage and has even said he'd be happy to officiate.
The LGBT community in particular needs to be tolerant and allow people to change and grow, or we will alienate the very people who could become our strongest supporters.

I've seen a lot of people saying things like some LGBT supports (and the like) are being close minded and not giving people chance to change and grow etc. But, like with anything, it's the minority ruining it for the majority and giving them the bad name.

Although you're saying that I know for a fact that in the UK it's going to be changed from a 'civil partnership' to a marriage in a couple of years. Once they do that I know I'm going to get married, not doing it while its still a 'civil partnership', purely out of principle. Just because we don't love in the "conventional" way, doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to marry someone that we love, and actually have it legally seen as a ('proper') marriage - not just a civil partnership.
End of the day, we are all human. We love who we love.

I cannot stand when people say "I don't say I'm straight to the world". Yes, you do. Well, not you specifically, but plenty of straight people do. Holding hands with the opposite sex in public, kissing them, having a picture of them, ect. is telling the world you are straight. Besides, why would a straight person have to tell anyone they are straight when it is already assumed you are straight? It would be like me going to a catholic school and saying I'm catholic. There is no need to announce it because it's already assumed you are.
The only reasons why gays feel the need to announce they are gay is because people are so unaccepting about a gay person. Being gay wouldn't be such a big deal if some people weren't so hellbent on treating gays like shit to the point where they have to announce they are gay to feel better about themselves.Gay people announce they are gay to accept themselves.
Personally, I don't see the problem with making your sexuality public. I would rather tell people early and let those who have a problem with it stay away from me instead of keeping it a secret and letting friends out you when they find you kissing a guy and preceding to kick my ass, which happened to a friend last year.
I'm rambling, tired, not in the best mindset, and probably making little sense, but I don't understand how telling someone you're gay is any different than a boy telling someone he has a girlfriend.

The fact is, not everyone has the same views on what is right and what is wrong. Me personally, I would say that homosexuality isn't normal and that it isn't right. But you may believe that it is perfectly normal and completely right. We now have conflicting view points. But who is to say which one is right and which one is wrong? What should decide it? I would say "Well, I should decide!" and you would say "No, I should!" and then we arrive at the same problem. Who is to say?
You can't make humans all believe the same. Not in this life. Everyone is going to believe what they want to believe. It is not anyone's place to make one believe anything they don't want to. The LGBT community trying to force everyone believe the way they do, is not right. Religious people trying to force others into their beliefs, that is wrong as well. Forcing beliefs on people isn't right. What you should do is present your beliefs in the best way that you can and let the other person decide where they stand. If they agree, great. If they don't, almost nothing will change that. Trying to force it, not right. People will believe what they want. It isn't anyone's place to decide who is right or who is wrong or to force beliefs on others.
The real issue here is that this is even an issue. Marriage shouldn't even be a government decided matter. It should be decided by an individual's beliefs. No one should have the power to make you believe anything you don't want to. Believe what you want. If you believe you have to stand up for something, go ahead. But always know that forcing beliefs of any kind on anyone, is wrong. But hey, who am I to decide what is right or wrong? It is always up to you as an individual to have your own beliefs.

Most people that have problems with this is because they are religious and believe that a Man and Woman should the way to go, where they can mate and create a miracle together in harmony. People of the same sex can't create such heavenly miracles as deemed by god, and thus are outcasted by society, and may even want them to be killed because they think that god is wrong and that their belief in same sex relationships are un-pure, un-holy, un-sanctified, etc..

Who said anything about killing? No one said that. Yes, I'm a Catholic, but I don't have a problem with it. Do what you want, I don't care. If you go to hell for it, you go to help for it. If there's no god, who the hell cares? I'm just saying, people don't want to see same-sex couples kissing in public. To most, and me, I find it disgusting that two boys or two girls kiss.

Who said anything about killing? No one said that. Yes, I'm a Catholic, but I don't have a problem with it. Do what you want, I don't care. If you go to hell for it, you go to help for it. If there's no god, who the hell cares? I'm just saying, people don't want to see same-sex couples kissing in public. To most, and me, I find it disgusting that two boys or two girls kiss. I don't care what you do, just don't do it in front of me.
I guess the context of what I was writing reminded me of the Salem Witch Trials, don't know if you've heard about it, but it just reminded me of gays, lesbians, etc..being ostracized in society because they are different, and even if they do show public affection towards one another other people should just simply ignore it, is that so hard to do?
I suppose some people could find it rather unpleasant if they saw a man and woman kissing, they gay or lesbian, because they like people of the same gender, so I think in my opinion what you said goes both ways. But then again, I'm no expert on this topic, just felt like sharing my views on the topic.

That is a total double standard. There is fundamentally no difference between same sex and opposite sex couples, other than the ability to reproduce. I'm not saying you have to like homosexuality, but you shouldn't mistreat people because of it.
Some people could be offended by opposite sex couples kissing in public. I personally don't really think public displays of affection are appropriate, but you shouldn't ban something just because someone doesn't like it.
I ask you this. What makes same sex couples kissing disgusting? There is no difference between that and opposite sex couples kissing.

I actually find any extremely overt PDA offensive and depending, sometimes disgusting. When I was in school, it was of course always the straight couples tonguing each other in the hallways. Get a fucking room, I don't want to see this. I get dirty looks when I even as much as make it apparent that my girlfriend isn't my sister. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked that. But you know, it's the southern US, yet I will hold her fucking hand if I want to.
You know, I've been trying to figure out what to say in response to the disgusting comment, but I really don't know what I could say to open your mind. They're two human beings in love. They aren't fucking puppies up the ass.
