Homosexuality

[AlexanderTheGreat]

Hello!
So this week I was on a school trip, we went to Wales in the UK and in that time I chatted with some people and I've never really been friends with anyone at school, the majority of my friends are outside of school. I appear very introvert at school and quite extrovert outside of school. I got talking to everyone and somehow the conversation moved on to homosexuality and gay marriage. Personally I am straight and I have not a doubt in my heart that I am anything else I am sure. However, I support gay marriage, gay equality, all of that 100%. I got talking to these people about this and I couldn't comprehend that amount of hate on it! Everyone was saying it's not normal and they shouldn't be allowed to be together. The conversation ended with me calmly walking off and then I experienced mild shock - no really I think I went into a mild shock. I started breathing heavily and I couldn't talk. I've always supported homosexuality, right from a young age. About 6/7 years ago I started having lesbian parents. My Dad had gone to America and split up with my mum. So my Mum is now in a relationship with a woman who is great. I guess by having homosexual parents it's opened me up even more to homosexuality. Anyway what I want to know is what's your view on it? AND, are there close friends you know that have the opposing view to you?

I support it. I don't have a close person to me that is gay, but I feel everyone should be able to love another.

As for people close to me opposing

I feel this.

I'm part of the LGBT community 3x over. (Transgender, asexual, bisexual) If my family knew this, they'd probably form a mob and lynch me.

I don't think I'll ever... Use my "gay rights" in the form of getting married to the same sex, but my boyfriend and I are thinking about having a triad- a polyamorous, closed relationship with another woman. Not for forever- we'd like to get married someday, and will make this clear from the start, but for the experience. For all of us.

Anyways, yeah.

I completely agree with you on supporting Homosexuality ( And you're awesome for that btdubs ) I believe you wind the person you love no matter what gender, they're it and if its the same gender partner, then so be it. I think its cute when I see other guys flirt with other guys but , other people have different opinions ......

You know, I've never understood why people are so opposed to homosexuality. It doesn't affect their lives in any way, they're not harming any one, so what's it any of your business? My parents don't support the LGBT community, but they know that I support it wholeheartedly (I'm actually quite passionate about it) and they've never said a thing to me.

[Hideous]

To me, homosexuality is not a label. I am homosexual and I feel like we're the same as everyone else and I don't want to be treated like I'm different simply because of that.

Can I just say, I'm so happy for your mother because she found someone better.

And yes, I do have friends who are against homosexuality, although they accept me for who I am and they know they can't change anything.

[Harry Smith]

Eh it Wales, they're slightly backwards there apart from in Cardiff. Living in a city, and going to a very anti-religous school most people I hang with are pro-LGBT rights however tbh they're not okay with one of their mates being gay because that's too close to home for them.

That's the biggest problem-people support gay rights on paper, but when they get pressed on it they tend to struggle

The reason who some people opposed homosexuality is religion. I think, every religion says that homosexuality is a sin. Until now, i confused about that. I'm bi but my religion said that bi is a sin

I live in Texas. Yeah, not the best place for a 14 year old gay vegan liberal atheist.

Yes, I get that, but it's your religion, not theirs. It's just weird to think that others HAVE to abide by the rules of someone else's religion.

I'll say :lol:

Right on the money.

Yes of couse. I agree with you. Now, Paus Fransiskus agree to homosexuality, but in the past Paus Benediktus not agree with homosexuality. I confused about that

You'd fit right in here. Come to Austin!

Yeah, I've heard that place is like an entirely different planet. I'd love to visit it one day.

I'm all for LGBQ... to an extent. I don't like transgender stuff because in my opinion, it freaks me out. I'm bi, so of course I'm okay with gay X gay or lesbian X lesbian but its just the one small fraction of the LGBQ community that I really don't like. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate all transgender people, hell, one of my best friends is a girl who has a guy personality and changed her name to a guy's name and she's a girl almost trans into a guy (she doesn't take hormones or anything...) but I think that the whole guy->girl with wigs and a deep voice is just... weird. That's my opinion and it's just how I am. I don't mine the girl>guy thing if it isn't excessive. I get freaked out buy guys who try to get implants and their dick turned into a vag and it's just... Not the kind of situation that I feel comfortable being around. Like I said, my friend isn't 100% trans but she doesn't take things overboard, which I'm happy about and I support her whenever she has a new girlfriend or whatever.

I fully support homosexuality, everyone in my family (besides my uncle who no one likes). The main reason I support it is because my best friend that is known since I was 3 came out to me in year 7 and because I love him like he is my brother I have chosen to accept the fact that he is gay.

[Faolan]

I'm really accepting (thankfully, seeing as I'm gay) and my friends and family are too. Unfortunately, I think that there will always be bigots out there, even if they choose to be jerks about some other issue. It's hard to be tolerant of intolerant people, but really all you can do is show your support for the LGBTQ community.

[Babs]

Even though it doesn't always seem that way, there are plenty of people with that mindset, unfortunately. My dad is opposed to homosexuality because of Christianity, and although he was disappointed when he found out about my sisters being queer (he doesn't know about me yet) he still loves them and that's what's important. My grandma on the other hand, I don't think any of us will tell her.

[jessie3]

Im gay and I of course support the LGBT community but there are things I opposed. Im not out yet because I have a very homophobic family

[Waleedbt]

I dont support or is against homosexuality, its not my business at all.
I see it as its that persons life, he is not hurting me, hes not effecting me, so what am i to say anything?
But i have to say, i dont really like getting close to one who well... Is Extreme.( clothing wise, talking, acting, make up )

[NickCollins]

I'm gay(closeted) and i support it 250% and my parents do to
my best friend/sister dose but two of the girls i'm friends with are christian and their completly aginst it which means i'll probably lose their freindship when i come out maby not
i was overjoyed when indiana dropped it's gay marriage ban till it f**king got reaplied

[Steve Jobs]

I'm an ally!
Honestly, I don't think it's up to me to judge a person based on their preferences. I've debated over this with friends before, and growing up in a religious background I've also met many strong opposers of the LGBT community.

Having said that, two of my best friends were/are gay. To say the least I've really bonded with them the most when they realize I could accept them for who they are and they could trust and confide in me.

To sum it up, I don't think it should be anyone's right to condemn or mistreat people like that. We've all learned to accommodate and gain equal share in the community. We accommodate for vegetarians and diabetics with diet options, we give christians a church and muslims a mosque in the same society. In that same way we should provide for their societal needs and integrate them as we do with anyone else.
