I think you'd get people who think that you are hurting yourself by sinning.
Not me, though! Love is one of the good things we have, there's no reasonable justification for outlawing it in whatever form it takes. :group:

I think it's a case that somehow straight people might be influenced to suddenly become gay and the world will come to an end.....I couldn't care less about homosexuality, but I do get a quiver in my stomach when I see guys kissing.....and what's with all the mincing about? Just me......

Well, if you don't stretch properly first....
KIDDING! I don't think it hurts anyone, even though the Torah says it should be punishable by death. I think this is one of those Biblical mandates that we must disregard in modern times.
For a lot of people it seems to be the idea that whenever a straight man sees an openly gay (male) couple, whether making out or just holding hands, they will be forced to imagine gay sex, which will probably turn them gay.
There was a hilarious article I read last week about a school in the U.S. where all items with rainbows on them were banned, including Lisa Frank and Reading Rainbow paraphenalia, because the principal or some higher-up in the school though that looking at a rainbow instantly caused boys to imagine gay sex. (Maybe it was true for him, I guess...)
I don't think there's anything wrong with that; I know gay guys who think straight people having sex is the grossest mental image ever. To each their own!

Nope, not sick at all. But then you knew that.

Puritanism.. the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
Well, I don't want to see ANYONE making out, straight or gay. (well... I don't mind "yuri"
)But if you ask me, not wanting to see couples making out is very different from being homophobic. I may not want to see two guys making out, and I certainly don't like the image, but I have nothing whatsoever against homosexuality.
Rather, I say to anyone who's gay, embrace your difference and do as you wish!

Call me weird, but on the occasion that I do get to see two males making out, I find it liberating, maybe its liberating for me in the social layer of my psych, that people can express their passion regardless of puritanical trends that may still float around in society at large. you know in the 'love conquers' kind of sense to it.
Last time that we saw guys making out, it was my ex who felt weird about it.

I don't want to see a man and a woman make out, either, but I don't get a sick feeling in my stomach if I do, and I don't worry that seeing it will turn gay children straight. What I mean is, many straight people have reactions to same-sex affection that cannot be explained by mere disinterest.

Exactly. Thumbs up.
I am perfectly happy with my (heterosexual) sexuality, and although homosexuality isn't exactly my cup o' tea, I see nothing wrong with it. I have friends and family members who are gay, and they're not half as sick as some of the fundamentalist anti-homosexuals.
It's just another form of elitism really. Fundementalists religions can say 'Homosexuality is wrong', 'Witchcraft is wrong', 'Lust is wrong', 'Fantasising is wrong', 'Atheism is wrong', 'Satanism is wrong', 'Eating blood is wrong' etc.
A religion wants to be all powerful so people who don't adhere to them is 'wrong'. I say let people do what they want. Why is it anyone elses concern but theirs?

PDAs of any kind often make people uncomfortable and some folks even consider holding hands PDA. Personally I think a couple can take PDA to far and it becomes tacky but it never grosses me out or makes me uncomfortable.

Every time somebody uses the expression PDA, I feel like I'm back at Fort Hill Christian Youth Camp.
I'm well aware that such people exist, but frankly, I think people who are uncomfortable with any kind of PDA, even holding hands, have a rather serious problem. I think that people who object to same-sex PDA but not to opposite-sex PDA have a problem, too.

Yep, me too. Growing up Baptist I ran into a lot of these people.

:rainbow1:What is sick is discrimination. I am hetero., married to bi. I am the donor for a lesbian couple, and the godfather of the resulting daughter.

I do believe you are awesome.

Homosexuality is as "sick" to heterosexuals as heterosexuality is to homosexuals. I know MANY homosexuals who think heterosexuality is gross beyond belief. It's all how you look at it
Get it? No side is able to "get" the attraction of one to another because THEY ARENT ATTRACTED TO WHAT YOU ARE. It's simple enough.

forget about religion, and forget about our ever changing morality. homosexuality is simply not natural. you dont see two alfa males of any species taking it in the you know what. sorry for that visual. but you get my point.
reproduction is only possible with masculine and feminine interaction(in a vast majority of cases in nature)
so if youre non religious, forget about god, just go with mother nature.
oh, forgot to mention, but i sure dont mind watching two pretty ladies make out.... i know, im a hypocrit, but only because in my masculinity id rather see a second pretty woman take the place of the dude doing the kissing.
