Homosexuality

[mad scientist]

so I was just wondering what you guys here think about homosexuality.

I have a couple lesbian and homosexual friends and I think they are all awesome ppl.

I hope you don't think I'm weird coz I made this kind of topic here.
I just wanted to talk about something new.

[skon]

I don't have an issue with it at all. I think all the right wing prudes need to lighten up a little.

[Hale]

One of my best friends is gay and so is my cousin and both of them would do anything to help anyone. I don't have a problem with it at all.

[Jenneh]

i have no problem with it at all.

I think that that is one of the topic threads that aren't suppose to be talking about here hun. It is nice to have off the topic threads but some I think are just too political and start things that don't need to be started.
I am open minded about just about everything and love to talk about and get into chats, debates and so forth but it isn't a good thing here.
=D


WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME BTW and feel free to open any non ploitical threads and join in in any conversation and thread you find interesting. Hope you make some new friends and find some help and support.

[Melikasa]

Forgot to add though that I have a few friends that are or thought they were and accept all people for who they are. If they are good, caring people I don't care what their style of living, dress, ideas ect are.

[sunshine16]

I have no probs with homosexuality at all.


People should feel free to be who they want to be.

[rhinoseri]

I do not have any problems with people who are homosexual, I mean, it's not like they can decide who they are attracted to. And also, it's not hurting anyone else for them to be married, or just date. They should be able to do what they want to do, and not to be restricted to people of the opposite gender.

[izzybee]

I have no problem with it atall. We all have the right to do whatever we want and dont think we should be stoped.!

[Babydoll]

I have no problem with it also. I think almost everyone has experimented with it at some point in their lives, and I also read that no human is either 100% hetersexual, nor 100% homosexual. so even if certain people deny it, they're usually somehwre in bewteen those percentiles.


what would life be if we were all the same? BORING!!!!!!

[youngemet222]

I also do not think that this type of issue is supposed to be discussed here, but I have no problem with them. There are a lot of people that think that they just choose to be a homosexual, but most of them do not. It is true that homosexuality is a sin in religion, but people should really think: SHOULD YOU CARE WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR BEDROOM? NO!!!! Outside of their houses, they are just normal people. They are normal people anyways. By the way, in my opinion, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the TV show, rocks!


Peace. LiZZY

[sweetanya]

My mom is lesbian, so i have no problem about that, i'm really used to homosexual people.

[sarahx]

Whats wrong with this thread???? Its nice to be talking about soemthing other than emet!


I have no problem with homosexuality at all, i am bisexual myself so yay for gay ppl!

I have no problem with it whatsoever. I think anything that isn't hurting anyone else is not my or anyone else's business. Why shouldn't two people who are committed to each other be able to get the same rights as everyone else? I think it's a shame when people think they have the right to judge others about the lifestyle they choose.


I also have yet to see people on this board get pissy and nasty to each other about any topic where we state our opinions. I think on this board in general we all respect each other, and the opinions stated here. I like not talking about emet all the time.

[mad scientist]

I'm a bisexual myself and my sis is a transexual witch really isn't so weird as it may sound. I've always kept her as a sister.
And she's really nice person.
So I've been living sexually "wide" world my hole life.
I'm really used to this all.

[Melikasa]

I am not sure Maybe there isn't I just know someone posted something like this quite a while back and there were some heated discussions and I think it was Sage that said that it isn't a good thing to bring anything to the board that might stress people out, because they come here to talk and get support.
The same when someone posted about the war. EVeryone jumped on her and made her feel bad.
I just didn't want to see the same thing happen. I know I have a neighbour and my husband that doesn't agree with homosexuality or marriage of them. I know that not everyone is ok with it.

[mad scientist]

I think it's okey to disagree too.
And than we can discuss about it.
I've been circeling around with my sisi talking about these things.
We were in confirmation camp talking about this and there if somewhere are ppl who doesn't agree about homoselxual lifestyle.
But I think it's okey to discuss about this. and if somebody doesn't agree I gotta respect their opinion.

[hippychick]

Hey


Well as a lesbian myself (and having only recently mentioned it to you all) I looked in here feeling just a tad scared. But I'm reminded again what a loving and open minded bunch we have here and I'm so happy! At the same time, while I agree that its nice not to talk about emet SOMETIMES threads like these can get too heated. If someone had come on here and said they hate all gay people etc etc I know myself personally I would feel very unhappy and find it hard to be here for a while. So I think maybe some topics hold too much feeling to be "debated" as such. Thats just my opinion.

[Jenneh]

that was me , who posted about the war and got jumped on horrible lol. i didnt mean ne harm.


but, i think , as someone as already mentioned, we're very respectful people here, and able to respect each others feelings and opinions. anyone knows not, can be shown the door! lol [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]


Jen xxxx

[Melikasa]

well I think it is great that you were open enough hippychick and I hope that who lady you find is deserving of all that you are.
I have and know quite a few gay and lesbian people. LOL in fact the first guy I went out with turned out to be gay. I was his experiment I guess to see if he was or not. It was the first guy I ever went out with I guess since we got along so well we would try dating but that didn't work.


BIG HUGS

[kentuckygalrk]

I work in retail and have met and become great friends with so many gay men. The guy who I'd consider my best friend there is also gay and I love him to death! I guess I just don't see it as being a problem... never will. I just feel that anyone who actually got to know a homosexual as a human being, and not just a homosexual would see that there's SO much more to them then which gender they find sexually attractive. I surely don't introduce my friend by saying "This is my friend Mark, he's gay." His sexually doesn't define him.

No no no... I cannot believe this is still an issue, you would not make a thread asking what we think of black people, or chinese people, n yet God forbid someone percieves gay as normal. What were you expecting? Homophobic reactions so you could be all righteous and claim to be accepting n open minded? THIS is small minded.

[mad scientist]

It's sad if ppl are so small minded as Eternity said that they can't handle about this thread.
I can't say that if somebody would come here to say
"I hate all homosexual ppl" I wouldn't keep him/her a little bit stupid But as far there isn't any that kind of comments so why not to have this kind of thread.

I just can't see the point in refusing this

[Melikasa]

because this isn't what we come here to talk about. Why risk starting something between people? Then you split the group, maybe friends who knows.
when this is a site that people come to for comfort there is no point in making things bitter and awkward and an uncomfortable place to be.


Just because someone doesn't AGREE with you or a group doesn't make them small minded. Who knows what their religion, upbringing, beliefs are.


I don't think anyone would risk saying that either not knowing how other people Maybe friendsare going to react.

[woland]

Honestly, I don't know if it's a good idea to add anything to this
thread, but I had to say I agree completely with Eternity. It seems to
me like this is just a good opportunity for you all to impress each
other with how 'right on' and 'liberal' you all are. The fact that you
view this as an issue meriting discussing shows how petty-minded you
are.



In fact you all remind me of that old stereotypical 'anti'-racist
prattling on about how you're not racist, cos you've got black friends.
It just seems so... pathetic.



Of course, im also a great believer that anyone who shouts about how
insecure other people are, is definitely insecure themselves, so maybe
it's me with the prejudices - that could very easily be the case.

[youngemet222]

Well, I just thought this wouldn't be a good topic to chat about here because some people here are religious or homophobic and if they state that they hate homosexuals and do not accept them into the society, people here who are homosexual and bisexual might be a little offended. See, I just don't understand why people hate homosexuals. I mean, they are people to that just happen to have that sexuality. Whether someone should be seen as a bad person or not should not be based on their sexuality. But people think that way nowadays, that people should be defined by their sexuality.


Peace. LiZZy

[woland]

Nowadays? Hahaha.

[nat10]

i have no problem with homosexuals either, everyone to their own i say! i worked with a lesbian who i didnt really get on with but not because she was gay! she was just not my kind of person! all gay men i have met i have got on with better than straight men and a lot of them are so gorgeous!
i havent a problem with discussing this and it is nice to talk about something else, thats what emets need more i recon instead of hearing about v* all the time! it takes our minds off it for a second!
i can understand how it can cause arguments as this is a support network about being emet but i really dont think any harm has been done, just dont reply if you dont like the subject! xx

[party_boi3423]

youngemet222:


To some extent you are right. i dont have a problem with gay people because one of my friends is bisexual, but i find some people say that they are not okay with gays because they fear that they are gay themselves. there isn't anything wrong with gay people, its not like they're evil because they are still human and they deserve to be treated like humans. i dont wish to offend anyone on here if they are homophobic by the way. it is a subject which has been discussed by some people at school although my friend broadcasted that he was bisexual to everyone at school and everyone took themickey out of him. however he has stayed strong and everyone is bored of it now, so i think that todays society is beginning to accept gays. i do think it is unfair that gays are criticized. Im a christian and in my religion its considered wrong and im straight (not saying that i would be gay if i wasnt a christian) but most people i know who are christians dont have a problem with other people being gay. i just get irritated when people say "your gay" as a criticism. i know how that feels, especially when its not true. for years and years, people have said im gay because im well spoken and they say it sounds homosexual, which is the only reason why i find it unfair that gays a criticized for the way they want to live their life. plus they could easily say "your straight" right back.


Peace, Christof

[Babydoll]

what will this board come to if we can't have open dissusions with each other? I think everyone here respects each other enough to state their opinion in a respectful way. I think if an argument actually started because of this thread, it would be time to remove it. I can't see that happening.
