Gay, Lesbian, bi relationships are okay!!
September 20, 2009
I don't understand why most people in the world don't like people of the same sex to be in a relationship. I'm bisexual myself and people come up to me and start critizing me because i am, but they dont understand that I'm special in my own way just like other ppl, no matter who they are.
Where I live the main population is gay, lesbian and bi people. In front of my school there are even people writing signs saying "God hates America and Fags are not welcomed here!" I am getting so sick of it! This is making us not want to come out and actually be us.
The government has no right to make laws saying that gays can not be married. God and government does not mix people! Get it straight! Some of yur friends might actually be gay, lesbian or bi, and would u not be there friend because of it? If you would, then you are messed up and not worthy of their friendship.

The guy who is hanging around with those signs is part of the website. His church sent him down to do all of this. We have had many people assult him and they didn't know that he had a camera on him. He wants the citizens to hurt him to tell everyone that this place(where i live) is a place full fo sin.

honestly, it is not a choice. cause im bi and i did NOT choose that. i tried to make myself straight, trust me it does int work. thing is that a kid can't control what sexually excites them or who they choose to love. And one of the many interpretations of the bible is that being gay is a sin and its wrong. there are many interpretations. is just that since people found it to be "wrong" and "disgusting" that they just accepted the interpretation that went along to their beliefs. everyone does it. i do it to. but what im saying here is that, if i could not be bi, i would int be for the simple reason because its hard to be. i have to hide who i am everyday just so that they don't send me to a hermaphodite camp where they do ridicoulous things to "straighten you up". and there is nothing different about the "gay" lifestyle. its the same things as being straight except that you are in love with the same sex. its not like we all walk around praising how gay or bi we are.

You're right, Alli97. Opinions based on fallacies are so much better.

yeah sorry...nooooo....i totally disagree w/this...i really dont think that everyone is bi...that is totally not correct...i know for a complete fact that i am not bi
I personally believe everyone is bi at heart but leans more to one side or just stays the true def. of bi. Being bi/gay/lesbian isn't bad but people oddly enough think it is. I think it's highly unfair, all the discrimination against gays/bis/lesbians. They are people and should be treated as such. It shouldn't be considered "bad" if you like the same sex.
Hi, thanks for you opinion
As a religious person and just as a person really, I don't believe gays, lesbians, what-have-you should be married because marriage is not only for companionship but also for procreation. That isn't possible with homosexual couples. However, if someone is gay I don't agree that they should be persecuted for it. Someone should be able to talk to you about in a calm and accepting way. I have friends that are bisexual and although I don't agree with their lifestyle they are still good people. As for me, if I thought I was homosexual I would pray that God helps me to understand myself and to be brave to do exactly what is in His will which is not to be homosexual.

Thats stupid! God made man and woman for a reason.
I'm not talking "religious" I'm talking Christian. And saying you're living in sin is not a sin. Jesus told the Christians to tell others of sin in their lives. And people who were raised "religious" and believe being gay is ok, obviously have never read their Bible. One of the main reasons God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah is due to the fact the men were gay.
Gen 19:4 ...the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: Gen 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know (have sex with) them.
If God destroyed two cities due to homosexuality, what makes you think it's ok for American's to gay? And homosexuality is NOT the way you are, it's the way society MADE you. YOU make the choice to be gay, God created marriage to be between a man and a woman. Look at nature: if God created some to be gay, why would wolves and eagles, and other animals that mate for life, how come they aren't gay? And if God created people to be gay, don't you think He'd be smart enough to create a way for men and men, and woman and woman to have children? It's simply common sense.

once_a_readhead, your comment has no basis in fact. There are no more STD's or STI's in homosexual or bisexual relationships than there are in heterosexual relationships. I have no idea where you got the idea to link being gay with getting "diseases that make you sick or die at a young age." HIV/AIDS were once linked to homosexuality, but people of any sexual orientation can get it. And nobody's trying to box in your Christian ideas or keep you from voicing your opinion, if they are, like you said, you have the right to speak up, so go ahead. I just want to suggest that you have facts and not fallacies to support your beliefs.

I don't have anything against bi or gay/lesbian people. It's their descision. BUT, God created us to marry the opposite sex. It's even in the bible. So what's the thing that comes down to it is whether your happiness now matters more to your way to heaven. It's your descision and no one can make it for you.
