Welcome to Gaia! ::

While it is true that the purpose of intercourse is reproduction, our species is in absolutely no danger of dying out because of the lack of reproduction. In fact, many would say that our population is actually too large for our planet. With that in mind, it seems silly to condemn people who fulfill their desire for intercourse in a way that does not produce more mouths to feed. You might even say that, scientifically, homosexuality serves as population control for a species that has no natural predators.

I'm not gay, but I've never been against them. I've had quite a few lesbian freinds and never once been hit on or anything like that because they know I'm not a lesbian. I've had a few of them tell me I've got great t&a, but that's really just a compliment and I take it as such. And as for gay guys, who couldn't love a gay guy?! They dress me better than I do! And they're much more fun to be out with than my straight guy friends (even though I love them too). And as for bisexual, who cares, what ever floats your boat. I've got plenty of bi friends as well, and the running joke there is that they're just to greedy to settle for just one or the other xd .

Here's my take on it:

People don't like what's different. They're afraid of it. Also, homophobia is passed down from generation to generation. It's a bit like racism.

In fact, homophobia is only a learned behavior. There is no gene that makes people discriminate against homosexuality. People who are homophobic are taught to be so. This does not mean that all people who are taught to be homophobic will be homophobic. I was taught to be Catholic, but I'm not. Family is not the only influence in your life, so you have learned to be more accepting than some other members of your family, but that doesn't mean your family--or anyone else--is somehow genetically predisposed to be homophobic.

*cuts in*

There is nothing wrong with the way people are, not matter what gender they have taken to a liking.

It's rude, now a days guy's can't hug without because labeled "gay"
And now everyone is saying my friend is a lesbian, just for hugging her friends and tell them that she loves them [like a friend] meanwhile, the people that accuse her do the exact same thing.

It's frustrating when people just throw words and labels for people that do nothing! I mean, who cares. It's natural part of the mind, maybe they think it's cool to be rude against people. Well, it's not. It's down right rude!

I apologize for cutting in, I just want an excuse to rant and be annoying. =]

I don't get how religious people are mostly against homosexuals, just because their religion states that being homosexual and acting upon it is wrong and is a sin.
So what if some book with tiny writing says so? It doesn't mean it's true. neutral

I was raised as a Catholic, but I since being with my girlfriend, [she's always been judged and teased by people because she's gay and she lives in a place where homosexuals aren't openly accepted] I have seen how close-minded some people really are.
And I don't believe in God or Jesus because I believe that they're just made up entities by people from long ago, just so there could be a creator figure for the people.

Anyway, my point is, love is love, and you really don't choose who to love. Love also doesn't limit itself to physical gender. confused

I think it's fear. It's the human nature to fear the unknown. Most people aren't used to gays so when they dosee them they don't know how to act towards them. So to get rid of the uncertain feeling they try to get rid of the source by trying to convinve gays that their ways are wrong. I've had a gay friend for a little over five years now so it's nothing new to me. So I'm comfortable around other gays (As long as they don't try to flirt with me or anything like that.)

I personally don't believe you can be considered gay or Bi until your parents know, which mine do. Because if your parents don't know, then either you are ashamed of your sexuality, or you aren't really what you claim to be.
