I don't have a problem with the LGBT community. They can do their thing and I can do mine. It's their choice, anyway.
The only thing I have a problem with is homophobes. They bother me because they're so intolerant of other people.

I have no problem with the homosexual society but not a lot of people are open-minded, specially because society raises people are taught that it is either wrong or is a disease inherited from your forefathers before you.
Though I will and always will be straight, I believe everyone's entitled to their own sexual preference as they are entitled to choosing what to believe in.

I am for Gays/bi cause they actually can be happy. I mean seriously if one falls in love with someone of the same sex and actually will do anything to be with them doesn't that prove your worth to be with that person. Also, my friend is a bi and she's perfectly okay with it. She actually has better mortals than some of the straights at our school! I am for the record still straight but non-religous. Angonsic is what I am.

I don't really care if one is homo or bi. I, myself, am straight, but I don't see what the big deal is in likeing someone of the same gender. If the feelings are true, then it makes it all the better. There are sooo many straight couples that have a hard time with relationships, and probably do not truely love eachother. So as long as it's love, gender shouldn't matter.
peace.

BunbunMochi 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 agree with most of your statement. I am bisexual so of course I am absolutely FOR gay rights, and a proud Wiccan so I actually do believe in the God and Goddess. I actually converted from Christianity because it kept shunning away homosexuals and transgenders. But let me just say this: Didn't the Bible say that we are 'created in His image'? Wouldn't that mean He is gay too? And I thought 'He loved all His children'? Gays are human too ya know.... And lastly, (for those of you who use the King James Version) that version of the Bible is actually named after a homosexual king, so....... Sorry for writing so much, but my mom just riled me about being bi, since she found out five minutes ago. She's literally screaming Bible verses..... How close minded..... I don't even see the need for labels. We aren't bar codes. Gays are just as human as straights. Some religious people are seriously misinterpretting their scriptures and making homosexuality seem like a sin or an evil. I won't come crawling into your bed or something, sheesh

I dont under stand why gay/bisexual people get so much hassel about what thay do together. Im stright but I think what people do with each other is entirly up to them selves and other people shoud not get to have a say what thay can and cannot do.Im all for gay rights and I would like to think other stright people are too.

Whether you are gay or not, a good relationship is a gift and it shouldn't be spoiled at all. It wouldn't be such a problem if people kept their sexual live to themselves. Gay or not. I don't want to know what happens in your bedroom.
I am neither against nor for gay people. If they are honest, level headed, and share at least a few of my views, I won't have the slightest of problems befriending them.
I am Christian, and I am at boiling point with people blaming us for gay people not feeling excepted. Just shut your trap, don't go branding animals that aren't yours.

I've taken some time out of my reading of hard-core boys' love doujinshi to post in this thread.
I have to say: some of the things in this thread really and honestly piss me off.
Though, I am glad to see so much of Gaia is open-minded. I just have to remind myself I'm not in the Shonen-ai and Yaoi Guild right now. =/
I hate homophobia with a passion. How can you be so unaccepting of people?
I'm not homosexual or bisexual - I'm asexual/pan-romantic - but I am still accepting of them. Which may have something to do with my obssession with same-sex relationships - be it female/female or male/male.
Also, I believe homophobia is learned.
My family is strongly Catholic; my nan and grandad go to church literally everyday. Yet, they are some of the most open-minded people you could meet. Both my mum and older cousin have countless homosexual friends - my cousin has been dragged to gay bars before, and spent the entire time holding her best-friend's hand. And, presumably, similar things must have happened to my mother when she was a student. (I think she even had a lesbian flatmate as a student).
Though, quite a few people seem to be open-minded around here - that or they just don't voice their complaints. Guys walk around with their arms linked, girls spend most of their time hugging each other, one of the girls in my year admitted to being a lesbian - and she's still got loads of friends - when she was thirteen and one of the most popular guys in my year has an openly lesbian mother. We also live next-door to a lesbian couple, who are undoubtedly the nicest people in the neighbourhood.
I found this on Wikipedia a while ago:
"Perfectly respectable Victorian women wrote to each other in terms such as these: ‘I hope for you so much, and feel so eager for you… that the expectation once more to see your face again, makes me feel hot and feverish.’ They recorded the ‘furnace blast’ of their ‘passionate attachments’ to each other... They carved their initials into trees, set flowers in front of one another’s portraits, danced together, kissed, held hands, and endured intense jealousies over rivals or small slights... Today if a woman died and her son or husband found such diaries or letters in her effects, he would probably destroy them in rage or humiliation. In the nineteenth century, these sentiments were so respectable that surviving relatives often published them in elegies....
[In the 1920s] people’s interpretation of physical contact became extraordinarily ‘privatized and sexualized,’ so that all types of touching, kissing, and holding were seen as sexual foreplay rather than accepted as ordinary means of communication that carried different meanings in different contexts... It is not that homosexuality was acceptable before; but now a wider range of behavior opened a person up to being branded as a homosexual... The romantic friendships that had existed among many unmarried men in the nineteenth century were no longer compatible with heterosexual identity."
I know I was rambling, but I felt I had to prove thet there's no need to be so homophobic.
Because there isn't.

I must agree with the post above mine. I've never understood why there are such limits on the affections we can display towards our close friends...
I've never been much for words on this particular subject, but I have to ask one thing...
If you love someone, does their gender truly matter?
I'm not bisexual. I'm not heterosexual. I'm not homosexual. I'm not a-sexual.
I just look for someone to love who loves me in return. Is that so wrong?

LovetoCauseMayhem Gays... I adore them. Gay men, I love with a passion, because they're so amazing and fun to talk to. And they have a brilliant sense of fashion. And - this might be just teenage horomones talking - but I think men kissing is so HOT. 8D Sorry you guys. xd But if men are allowed to like lesbians, I'm allowed to like gay men. 'Nuff said. biggrin I wish I was where you are so I could give you a high-five. It's all so true! lol

I'm a Christian, and while I'm not gay, bisexual or any of that, I completely support gay pride. I believe in spreading the word, but not though discrimination and insults.
Homophobia is the dumbest s**t ever, just like racism. It's discrimination against a group of people for a way of life. In a way, it's similar to discriminating against a religion.
Sadly, my dad is either too devout or a plain homophobe. When I mentioned that I was taking part in my school's day of silence, he tried to forbid me to do it, as the Bible says that a relationship is to be between a man and a woman. Oh, yes, dad. You're right. I also forgot about the part of the Bible that says that we should discriminate against homosexuals and exclude them.

I'm a lesbian and it saddens me to see that people are granted the right to freedom of speech but get shunned for being the person they are. I mean, the LGBT community is JUST like the straight community; we all have a religion, we have pay taxes, we all have green money, we all are human, we all have blood, and we have the same organs. I don't think people are turned into gays or lesbians, I think they're BORN that way. I know i was. And the fact that we're in the 21st century, and people STILL don't accept gays??? What kind of world do we live in anyway? What if your best friend was gay or a lesbian, but didn't tell you because they were afraid of your reaction? What kind of person does that make you? You love your best friend like a sibling, and when they feel that they can share a secret with you because they think you'll still be there for them.. and you all of a sudden push them away and are disgusted with them? Human beings are such hypocrits when it comes to being gay! If God made every human in is own image-straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, whatever- then what does that make him? The LGBT community just want equal rights. Is that too much to ask for? Logo's "Commitment Ceremony"

i'm against those who gay and bi....
but i never yelling at them
I just dun like and dun understand....i know it's up to them...they want to b a bi or gay.....it's their own life....
BUT....if we know wat the right or true....why we must do the wrong way...
God made/create 1 woman with 1 man...He never made/created 1 woman with 1 woman or 1 man with 1 man....rite? wink
and remember...there r a friend's love (bestfriend), family's love, and true love (love that want to have each other).....
and i ever heard why people became bi or gay....it's because they have felt hurt from love or since they lil child their family or friend make or called he like a girl and she like a boy.....
1) then...people that got hurt from love...start to thinking i dun want to get hurt anymore....then she/he start to choose bi or gay's path....cuz they feel more comfortable becaming that path....(in this part my opinion is if ya dun want or not ready to get love's hurt...dun love somebody) it's ordinary if sometime we find something that not match with our gf/bf....if ya cant stand anymore leave them and take a time to find ur true love..or, if ya have a commitment and still love her/him....find the solution to solve the problem.....
2) then....people that since their child was being acted/called as a girl or boy....if they still not changed their attitude or their family and friend not make him/her as normal people.... they will became gay/bi...
thats my opinion..... rolleyes ...ya choose ur own life....and dun ever disappointed of wat ya choose even it'll hurt ya....try to solve it if ya a true survivor cool

orange_autumn thats my opinion..... rolleyes ...ya choose ur own life.... No, you don't. If that was true, no one would ever choose to become gay or lesbian, because they would just be making their own life more difficult. Sexual orientation is not a matter of choice. And the situations you described.... none of them can make you become gay, unless you already are. If everyone who got hurt in a relationship would turn gay, then 90% of the adult population would be gay now.
