@chemicalnoise I didn't say: why would God create sex if it's pleasurable. Just re-read this sentence and tell me if it even makes sense cuz that's what you said. I said: why would God give us the ability to enjoy sex if it was only meant for us to procreate? Sure having pleasure increases the chances of doing it more (This is awkward to write) but what happens when you're older, when chances to give birth are increasingly small. Why is the capability to experince pleasure still there.

@chemicalnoise No problem. The fact of the matter is that you can't stop homosexuality so why act like it's the end of the world when you can just ignore it?

@Robinn I'm just saying what my neighbor says. He's been in contact with Jesus before so maybe that gives him more credit.

@glittergirl True! I dislike when people try their hardest to change people. People won't change and they REALLY won't change when someone tries to force them to. XD

@chemicalnoise Yeah but people can't see that. I can see from both sides but really, is it worth leading a witch hunt for something that you can't doing anything about. Killing them is a sin, Excluding them is not right and overall it's wrong to force someone to do something they don't wanna do.

Why has this topic gone on to sex...? But anyway I believe that we all have the right to love whoever we want to. Plus its something you can't control so being hated and bullied for it seems so wrong in my head. I believe that your born homosexual because animals too can be homosexual and why would they CHOOSE to be that way? Just because you love the same gender, it doesn't make you a bad person. So I completely support LGBT.

But one thing I don't get is why do people hate and discriminate homosexuals, saying its a sin... And yet they don't stone woman who have committed adultery? So is it okay to ignore some sins and follow others? And actually it does say homosexuality is a sin in Lev. 18:22 , Lev. 20:13 , 1 Cor. 6:9-10 , Rom. 1:26-28 and many others. So you can't deny that it isn't in the bible. But I'm agnostic/atheist so it really doesn't matter to me.

I have nothing against homosexuals. I do not believe their rights should be taken away because of the fact that God gave us free will BUT I do believe it is sin. Here are some verses that may help. Matt. 19:4-6 1 Cor. 6:9-10 1 Cor. 7:1-2 Lev. 20:13 Rom. 1:26-28 and many, many, more. Also to any homosexual (or Atheists for that matter) who think Christians are haters, we're not. Lev. 19:18 Matt. 19:19 Matt. 22:39 Mark 12:31 Mark 12:33 Luke 10:27 Matt. 7:1-6 Etc. Etc. Etc. All those verses tell us to Love our neighbor as ourselves. Therefore if people are actually Christians they would love everyone no matter what their sin. We all sin. Just in different ways. We do not judge our neighbors because they sin differently than us. That is all I got. God Bless(:

I believe what the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches:

"Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection."

And what the youth catechism, Youcat, says:

"God created man as male and female and destined them for each other in a bodily way as well. The Church accepts without reservation those who experience homosexual feelings. They (persons who experience homosexual feelings) should not be unjustly discriminated against because of that. At the same time, the Church declares that all homosexual relations in any form are contrary to the order of creation." and

"The Church believes that, in the order of creation, man and woman are designed to need each other's complementary traits and to enter into a mutual relationship so as to give life to children. That is why homosexual practices cannot be approved by the Church. Christians owe all persons respect and love, however, regardless of their sexual orientation, because all people are respected and loved by God. There is no man on earth who is not descended from a union of a mother and a father. Therefore is is a painful experience for homosexually oriented people that they do not feel erotically attracted to the opposite s a lack, a loss, or a wound--if accepted and affirmed--can become a springboard for throwing oneself into the arms of God: the God who brings good out of everything and whose greatness can be discovered in redemption even more than in creation."

I feel no hatred, disgust, fear, or disdain for people of the GLBTQ community. I'm not weird or freaked out that a lesbian or bisexual girl will hit on me and, if that did happen, I would just say I wasn't gay and move on. I don't think it is immoral or wrong to have homosexual feelings and I don't think it is a choice. I don't think GLBTQ people need psychological help and feel opposed to centers that try to change them into being straight and cis-gender because it causes a lot of harm to many people in those facilities. I would feel comfortable having gay friends or co-workers or family members. In fact, I do have a sister who is a lesbian and I love her to pieces, she is my best friend, we need Traveling Pants. A person can be gay and be a honest, true, compassionate, benevolent, virtuous person who spends their life doing good deeds. GLBTQ people can go to Heaven and even become saints. I try to be open-minded, tolerant, and accepting. I just think homosexual actions are wrong and therefore don't support same-sex marriage.
