Is being gay really all that bad?


Is being gay really all that bad? Why is loving someone of your own gender seen as comitting a deadly sin? I believe that many people have no self-control over who it is that they're attracted to. Just because it is seen as right in the eyes of so many people to date one of the opposite sex does not mean to shun another for being an individual and doing what it is they feel is right. So why judge them for being different?


What is your take on this? Loving someone of your own gender--Is it really wrong? Do you think people have a choice to be gay or not?

I think people do have control to control there impulses, BUT! i believe there is NOTHING wrong with it, as the picture depicts military personal definately frown upon homosexuality which doesn't make sense since we're all people, all fighting for the same cause, or all supporting eachother. In my opinion the only reason people judge gay's is either on one side, gays are extremely flamboyant and rude or on the other side, people are REALLY closed minded and stupid.

I think people should have the right to love who ever they want to love. I have never judged anyone for being gay. Some people think that people have a choice to be gay, I believe you are born that way. I just have a hard time explaining it to my 7 year son that has seen a gay couple holding hands or kissing. When I was younger we never experienced gay couples like we do today. I wish it would have been more of an open topic back then and maybe it wouldn't be so difficult for me to explain it now. Whether your gay or not treat everyone with respect. Dawn Smith

I think that if someone wants to be gay let them, its their own life if their not harming themselves or others then who gives a shit they are their own person and have rights just like everyone else does. If someone wants to be gay thats fine I wont judge them, however i dont feel that gay people should beable to raise a kid because it make mess with the kids head. the kid will probably get picked on all the time for the fact that he has two dads and he might develop mental disorders as well i would go into detail but its too long to type. sry

love isnt an impulse. you dont choose who you love, its not like you can just snap your fingers and not like the same sex anymore if youre gay. chances are you grew up gay and you cant change it. it shouldnt matter who you love or what gender they are. it says that same sex anything is bad in the bible, but doesnt it also say that god loves everyone? i think its a contradiction,if anyone knows its not a choice and that it just happens then god should. and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. no one has the right to judge someone else anyways because chances are youre just a bad or even worse when it comes to the things you do. its just being gay, its not a big deal. sam tomson

I LOVE gay people!! i think others make a big deal of others been gay when they can love who ever they wanna love. somepeople just think beening gay is bad. its a free country and you should be able to date who ever you want. there is nothing wrong with been in love with the same gender people can be gay if they want and i feel no one should have the right to tell them who to love. i love gay people i have alot of gay guy friends and a couple of gay famale friends and they are just like us they only date the same gender. i dont think people should be downed for who they love.

I believe that being gay isn't an option, it is just the way you are. So I don't believe being gay is wrong at all. People need to stop making being gay of lesbians such a big deal. Love is love; it shouldn’t have to be any more complicated then that. There are records of people being gay all the way in biblical times, so I just don’t see why it is taking people so long to accept it.

I feel that people that have a problem with others who are gay are full of BS. For starters we all deserve someone to love, and that will love us back, and treat us with respect. further more the only reason why gay marriages were baned is because of religious reasons. It says nothing to my knowledge about the gender of your spouse in the bill of rights in regards to marriage. No I don't think it's a sin because according to Christianity God made us unique and different. it is not something that always just happens, some people are just born like that. I am a supporter of gays bisexuals transsexuals, and lesbians. Personally I feel you are who you are, and as long as you know I'm straight I honestly have no problem.

I don't have a problem with gays. I don't think its bad at all either. Its everybodys choice to who they want to date and what type of gender. People don't have control over it sometimes its just they way then come out. I know way to many people who are gay and there nice and everything. There no different then we are, so why can't we all treat each other the same. Yea there dating the same gender as them, but who cares get over it. Its not hurting you and its not hurting them because the aren't doing anything wrong.

Homosexuality is growing more and more each day. I think people need to get over the fact that being gay is wrong. People that chose this life is here and are not going any where. Let people live their life, and love who they want. What harm do they bring to you? Just because you are with the same sex, don't make it right all the time. That person might be bad for you. People need to open their mind and face what is happening in the world today. If you believe in a higher source; then you should believe that whatever he or she believe is wrong, that person will have to answer for it, and that applies to any thing.

Yes, being gay is "bad" because it's not natural. If we had only gays in our society, we would have no reproduction. Gays have nothing to offer but sex for pleasure, which is wrong from a reproductive point of view.

The Bible says that homosexuality is an "abomination" against God. God made males and females to have sex together--their bodies match each other for that purpose. Gays have to use an unnatural opening to have sex. God is against that, if you believe the Bible.

I don't think people choose to be gay. I mean, why would anyone make that choice? To "choose" to desire to be with a man instead of a woman makes little sense--I mean, who chooses what they desire? Desires choose you, not vice versa. But people do choose to act on those desires. If a gay man wants to have sex with another man, and then he does it, is the man guilty of being gay or of having gay sex?

If people don't choose to be gay, that means their gayness is not up to them, but why would God make some people gay only to punish them for it later? Makes NO sense!

Well I truly do feel that being gay is a choice, individuals are not born that way. But it's not right for society to say that its wrong because who are we to judge someone for the decision that they have made, I do feel that it is a sin and God will judge the individual accordingly. I do believe that there are many cases to where something has happened in a individuals life that affect them to make them feel as though they want to be gay (such as being molested) but if they were to recieve help then it could help them deal with what happened to them in a differnt way.

Saying that someone chose to be gay is like saying that someone chose to be interested in someone with blue eyes. There is nothing wrong with it. People who say they don't want to be near a gay because they don't want to be hit on. Well that makes no sense! That would be like saying I don't want to be near this girl/guy because I don't want him/her to hit on me. There is nothing wrong with it. Everyone has the right to be happy, and if that's what makes them happy then go for it!

People don't have a choice to be gay, thus loving someone of the same gender is no more wrong than loving someone of a certain race or religion. At various times in history, and even now, in certain places, people thought that loving someone of another race or religion was bad as well. I think that eventually most people will come to accept and understand about gays in the same way, and I hope that it happens soon.

We always have a choice. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to the same gender. I think the people that are against is just can't stand to imagine the thing they because they can't imagine doing it. I don't have a problem with guy people, but i think it's better if the only thing they do is hold hands in public. Even though I'm straight, I don't kiss or do other strange things with my boy friend when I'm in public. I have a cousin that is guy and i love him more than ever. Guy people are more trusting and more reliable in my opinion. Half of my class in the private school was guy, and till this day, i love them very much.

I think god gave us free will to make our own decisions and choices. It is wrong to pass judgment on another just because the live a certain lifestyle. In gods eyes no sin is bigger than the next and they all will be judged. I am not saying that I approve of homosexuality, but that is none of anyone's business and we should not srutinize others for doing what makes them happy, especially since it is not doing any harm.

I personally feel it's wrong just because of my religon, granted I would never down a person because he or she chose to be gay. In fact I have gay friends, female and male and I don't treat them any different than I would my other friends, as long as they don't try and come on to me! No one can help the way they feel about a person and sometimes it even starts at a young age. So again, in my eye's it's not right but everyone is intitled to their own opinion!

English student said...

If someone wants to be with a person of their own gender, I say go right on ahead. I do not have a problem with people being gay, doesn't bother me at all. I have nothing against people who are gay, and do not have any problems with being around gay people. I beleive that if two people want to be together gay or not they should be able to, and be able to do so without judgment.

I think we all have a choice. with that said you can do what you want its your life just don't try to convince me that your way is right. I have my beliefs and I stand on them firmly. I don't support the whole gay thing but I can't change their minds nor am I going to try.
