Am I the only one reminded of the "Goobacks" episode from South Park where all the men had a gay orgy?

But it's their prerogative to think so, just as your belief is your prerogative. You said "Homosexuality isn't wrong, not even in a religious context." and I simply pointed out that in a religious context, the one in which Christians take the Bible literally, it most certainly is wrong. You may think they're wrong, but that doesn't change the nature of their belief.

Well if you want to consider that a religious context, but it's a mistaken one.

Why sorry, it's not something of which who I am now, and as I said im not embarrased or anything but it's just something that if i had the power to change I would have, unfortunately was forced beyound my will.
Sorry I didn't know homosexuality could have just exist without having reasons, then I withdraw my opinion that it would harm society. But sexual identity is confirmed on small ages, so there might be reasons you didn't know about that made you gay! but if your sure that there isn't any reason then I completely stand to withdrawing my opinion.

Greeks were bisexual. Yes, there are things that may make you to like men, but they not necesarily need to be thraumatizing. I mean, basically greeks had a society that saw no problem with men on men action (women on women was different. You ask me they were boring fellas
) so if you were born there it was normal part of the enviroment, and as one learn from the enviroment well... the didn´t even have the definition of bisexual because it was just normal. something that few people tell you about heracles is that he had sex with as many if not more male partners as women partners.

I doubt my cousin would agree as he has been in relationship with his bf for 2 years. He grew up in a predominantly catholic family and lived with our family for a while because his family couldn't deal with him being in a relationship with another guy. It was one thing I guess to come out of the closet as they thought they could change him, but to be in a relationship, people tend to have their little narrow minded beliefs of such "abominations". Both his brothers and parents are straight (heterosexual) and staunchly against homosexuality so I doubt his upbringing had anything to do with it. As for myself, I'm glad he's happy. Heck he lives a much more positive life style than myself. He's going to college and working to get a degree in law.

Wow, this post is insane. Yes, it is a desire. I desire to have sexual relations with men. But it's also a lifestyle. I can't control the fact that I'm attracted to men and women, I simply am. Don't liken sexuality to your desire for burgers. Yeah, I could suppress my homosexual tendencies, seeing as how I'm bisexual and I could only be with women, but why? Homosexuality doesn't do me harm. You avoid burgers because they're greasy and unhealthy. Homosexuality isn't unhealthy. Well, it can be harmful, but that's a totally different story.

Hi Etherealascension!
I agree. An LGBT person who expresses their sexuality doesn't harm anyone, but an LGBT person who represses their sexuality can do themselves irrepairable harm. Sexuality is a big part of a human's identity.
Peace and blessings,

FWIW, there are therapies which homosexuals or bicurious people can go through. There are even religious camps for bicurious children. These teach them to suppress homosexual tendencies. Betcha can't guess the suicide rates of people in these kinds of programs. Hint: it's significantly higher than those who openly embrace their sexuality and are supported by friends and family.

The pope was to talk about the incorrectness of Gay marriage in spain (I beleive it was?), and his prepared speech was cut short due to elements.
sound to me like God is pro LGTB rights
if thats true (and there is a god) then God is AWSOME :rainbow1: :angel2:

What I find hilarious in this whole debate is the inability to interpret sarcasm from some of our members.
You did not answer anything. Why is homosexuality bad for people? Why is it harmful if these two girls are in love with each other?

Homosexuality is not a desire. It's a state of being.
