Do you agree gays and lesbians are just people too?

[Tori123]

Put your opinion down.

[Just JT]

If they (we) weren’t “just people to” then what would we be?

[Tori123]

If they (we) weren’t “just people to” then what would we be?

I agree with everyone no matter what sex likes what sex its just my parents have a different opinion on it maybe its because of their religion but idk and im just trying to see what other people have to say about it.

[ska8er]

We r All people.

[Dalcourt]

Sure Gays and Lesbian are just people. Why should sexual preferences make us all something else?

[PlasmaHam]

I'm not a fan of homosexuality, but it isn't even a question for me whether gays and lesbians are people. They are, just like every single human being on the planet.

[Elysium]

R&D :arrow: TS&G

If I'm not a person, does that mean I don't have to pay tuition? :D

[ThereseFrei]

Ofc they are

[mick01]

Unusual question. Even if you're against homosexuality, how else would you classify gays or bi's?

[yeehaw]

If I'm not a person, does that mean I don't have to pay tuition? :D

Not paying taxes would also be pretty awesome. :P

But yeah, of course they're people. Just like straight people, just with a different romantic preference, like everyone else.

[Atlantis]

Obviously they're people. Regardless of what anyone thinks.

[Babs]

99% of people on this corner of the internet would say yes.

[ailenor14]

Of course they're people, us folks of a different sexuality (I'm bi) are definitely people. Real people, with real feelings towards the things certain people direct at us - perhaps why I'm not out to most yet!

[PinkFloyd]

Sure Gays and Lesbian are just people. Why should sexual preferences make us all something else?

Bingo.

[Just JT]

I like not having to pay tuition or taxes
Ok, I’m not human, I’ll buy in for that.
Such a small price to pay huh?

[Adarest]

I think they should be free to enjoy things that they do. Plus, they can love however they want to in their own privacy of their home, it wouldn't affect me, and i wouldn't care what goes on, as long as the adults all give consent, ofc. Let the gays and lesbians do whatever, because we are all still humans, with different views of life.

Are you saying we can ONLY display our affection to our partners in our own home and not publicly?

[Adarest]

Are you saying we can ONLY display our affection to our partners in our own home and not publicly?

No, I'm saying that they display their affection anywhere, but while I'm at home and know my neighbors are gay, that they are doing whatever they want, because I don't know what they are doing and that they are not bothering me with whatever they are doing. Plus, if someone gay asked to kiss me, I would just say no. If they attempted to, it would be sexual harassment then. But same goes if a girl attempted to kiss me without permission. That's just the law though.

[Max the Disenchanter]

i guess the human ones are.

[Just JT]

i guess the human ones are.

Are there non-human gay and lesbians?

[Max the Disenchanter]

Huh?
Am I missing something really obvious again?
Lol

[Falcons_11]

People are people no matter who you are.

[SethfromMI]

Were you expecting large numbers of people on here to question where someone was human or not based on their sexuality?

[Harrier]

Put your opinion down.

I think maybe you meant to word your question differently. A person can be against homosexuality (based on religion or any other reason, it's that person's right) but NOBODY can comment that a homosexual isn't a person. It's a fact.

[SethfromMI]

I guess it could depend on the person. They're may be some sick people out there (not accusing the OP of this) who might, in their twisted minds, believe, being gay/b/whatever makes you less than human. I mean think of all the people the Nazis considered less than humans (again, I am not comparing the OP to Nazis). It wasn't just Jews they murdered, they murdered anyone they found less than desirably and could do so because, in their eyes, they were not human.

True. i hope there aren't people like that any more. It's 2017.

[SethfromMI]

I know. It is sad anyone ever thought that way, but to sadly think there are some people who still probably sadly too. not just in other countries, but even here in America. sad indeed.

[Jinglebottom]

No, we are evil aliens from outer space, here to destroy the nuclear human family.

Obsiously, we're lizards and we've come from outer space to eat your brains.

:metal:

[Bull]

Helllo, welcome to my world. There are a bunch of such people in homophobic Oklahoma. There are also a lot of great people in Oklahoma who are accepting of us who swing both ways and those who are decidedly same sex orientated.

[Joe45x]

They aren't exactly aliens lol. They're different to you, I am different to you. Who cares?

[Vegas2933]

100% agree.

[ImJulia]

Of course they are

[NewLeafsFan]

Of course they're people! What, does somebody think that they're aliens?

[Leena_2003]

Of course!

[crazyjazy02]

100% . Whoever says they're not are being childish.

[lliam]

If they look like people, then there's a high possibility that they are people.

[noah.whynot]

Of course they're just people ... i'm not sure what the alternative answer to that would be? Is that what you were intending to ask? Or do you mean do they have rights like other people? The answer is still yes.

[EvaNL]

No, they're not just people. They're in fact aliens from outer space. Obviously.

[Fritz]

If they look like people, then there's a high possibility that they are people.

Definitely lol

[Collins1]

Of course they are! But sadly I feel sometimes they’re not treated like one.

[Nikki_1]

Of course the are... I try to treat all people with the respect that they deserve irrespective of their race, religion, gender or sexuality.
No one has the right to judge others!

[Hermes]

Of course sexual orientation does not change if someone is a person. But more than that, while it is pretty important to the person concerned because it affects who they take as a partner, it should not matter to friends and aquaintences.

If you have someone as a study partner, or you're playing sport together, or non sexual games together etc. why does it matter what their choice of romatic partner is or what they get up to sexually? Important as romance and sex are there is much more to human existence than these two things.

On the question of religious beliefs it seems in order to tell other people how to live their lives there has to be a justifyable reason for it. So I think it is OK to expect to tell other people how to behave when their behaviour affects other people - we don't let a few ruin things for the many, but that hardly applies to people's romantic and sexual lives. If your religion probhits you from taking a same-sex partner then feel free not to take one but don't expect other people to refrain because of what you believe.

[breaux]

'Course

[TWDjacob]

There's nothing that would make them any less than any other straight person

[Shiny Moon]

They're not. How could they be? OMG who would agree that gays and lesbians are people? For real? :mad:

All sarcasm aside, we're in the 21st century, this shouldn't even be asked.

[Brad.1.6]

Define person then ill reply

[Just JT]

Define person then ill reply

UHmm....a human being?
Surprised you actually needed to make that statement
Questions you ask implies things you don’t understand or know about
Asking for more definition on this topic implies...idk...something else...

[Southern_Cheer]

I think they are people and deserve the same rights as everyone else, but even my father recognizes them as people he just doesn't think they should have the same rights y'know

[Klink]

No I don’t agree

[Spooky_Eli]

No I don’t agree
could you explain?

[Klink]

could you explain?

Well there people but it’s just really werid

[Spooky_Eli]

Well there people but it’s just really weridin what way?

[Dmaxd123]

in my opinion i treat them all the same no matter sexual orientation, country of origin, or color of skin

you treat me with respect we're cool, you act like you are superior or I owe you something because of something that you & I were not apart of in the past and I will have issue with you as an individual but that has nothing to do with the person's sexual orientation/heritage... just the attitude lol

[Brad.1.6]

Thats not even a question!
Think about what your asking

[SeansLittleBro]

As ONE of those "are they human" types I am sure I'm human and need to be treated just like my boyfriend sitting next to me.

[SethfromMI]

This is still a discussion? Even if you don't support same-sex marriage/same-sex rights I don't understand how you could somehow consider someone who is gay/whatever any less of a human being.

[bouldghirl]

People are just people. They shouldn’t be defined by their sexuality.

[imanopenbook]

I'm just seeing this now but it's a little weird tbh. Everybody is a person regardless of gender, politics, sexuality and whatever else.

[Mikebillyboy]

Of course they are people. Just because they fancy somebody of the same sex does not mean they are any less of a person.

[Tim the Enchanter]

Of course they are people. Just because they fancy somebody of the same sex does not mean they are any less of a person.

Attaboy mikey :yeah:

[JustMyHumbleOpinion]

Nope. We're aliens from Uranus here to wipe out mankind and eat babies.

[Naters2000]

Nope, according to my friend's parents, I'm a "social parasite" so I guess that's what gay people are.

If we weren't people, what would we be?

[Tim the Enchanter]

Ah screw them man.

[Melton]

Who doesn’t think that they are people anymore?

[london98765]

Of course!

[Brandon618]

Of course we are. Why would you think not? And Naters I agree when Just Tim said to screw them. You are as much of a person as any str8 bigot out there. And that is all they are bigots for telling you that.

[HeyYo]

Yes, of course we are? We're just people?? Like what?? lol

[annababy02]

Yes of course they are!

[InternetTeen]

Yes. No matter our religion, skin colour, sexuality, culture, gender or beliefs. We are all people and we should all be treated the same.

[nathanlee]

Of course
Why do you even ask?

[cinderfella]

No we are just abominations made from dirt, debauchery, hate and sin. WTF kind of question is this?

[HeyCameron]

Sometimes it seems like people behave as if LGBT are different species. They're surprised when they do normal things that everyone else does. I think that's sad. Of course we're just people. People who have the same strengths and weaknesses and anyone else.

[Oscar-V3.0]

No we are just abominations made from dirt, debauchery, hate and sin. WTF kind of question is this?
:D

Gays and lesbians are not 'just' people.
Actually, they have to be stronger than straight people

because they have to live with some idiots who dont think they are normal people :P

[Shamal]

Yeh I think that we are people, what else would we be? beluga whales, grasshoppers, golden eagles? What do people who don't agree with most people here in that we are people say we are?

[arnorway]

questions like this are stupid. gays and lesbians are just like anyone else, why wouldn't they be? i got an aunt who is married to another woman and i have no clue why people think that's any less than if she had married a man

[Natacha]

If they aren't people, wtf would they be??

[Diable rouge]

They are

[Brad.1.6]

Stupid Question...
