I'm against gay marriage but I'm not really homophobic, I just hate queens, not because they're gay but the way they act.

I'll be honest I'm a bit prejudice about gay people. I tend to have a misty opinion of them but if I ever speak to them I actually find them alright.

[AlexBigBrother]

dunno ive never really hung around with gay people so its hard to know

I'd agree with that. =D
They're gay, but they flaunt it because they think they'll gain popularity by it, it's stupid.

Thats not homophobic haha thats just common sense. I cant stand them, the only time I can stand really camp guys is when they dress up as drag queens. Because I find it funny but guys jumping around screaming and acting like a girl does make me feel uneasy. Thats me being honest
I dont like sugar coating things lol.

I just thought I'd say that in case we have a member of the PC brigade on here who would accuse me of being homophobic from that phrase. I have other reasons, mainly religious, for that

I just think its a contradiction,the bible says that being gay is wrong (which i don`t agree with),so i don`t understand why gay people would want to make a christian commitment when the christian religion says that its wrong.Does that make sense?

The bible also says (I read this somewhere) that basically people can be in love people and that the only reason that homosexuality is only deemed wrong when a man or woman settles down with someone of the same sex because it defeats reporduction.

Obviously it's much deeper than that but thats the watered down version I got.

It's annoying when like my sister (who doesn't know I'm gay) says things like "Ooh thats an awful gay name!" (She pregnant) or describing something "As gay as christmas".

But theres a massive passage in the Bible (I can't quote it off the top of my head) which goes through every possibility of sleeping with someone/something, and they are all condemned except for if you're in marriage and if you're trying to have a baby, so I suppose thats fuel to throw on to the fire. How can people who claim to be religious be homophobic when they've had sex outside of marriage?

yeah which is still what i said really,there saying gay marriage is wrong becuase after marriage obviously your supposed to be monogamous and therefore if your gay you wont be able to reproduce.

However, marriage has been secularised and was originally not a Christian ceremony or sacrament. Marriage has been around almost as long as civilisation; the concept has yet to change despite having different names and entitlements around the world. The problem, especially in the US, is that marriage gives couples multitudes of legal benefits otherwise unavailable. If the state is to deny such couples the right, it not only violates numerous human rights treaties that the UK has signed but also creates a "separate but equal" (in the case of civil unions) and inferiority scale that is completely unnecessary.

Wait you don't approve of a minorty!?!?!? thats so unlike you!

[Ross]

I don't like really camp guys, or guys that flaunt being gay.

Me being bi, and slightly going towards the men side more I really don't like people flaunting it. I don't like straight people flaunting it either, like if their out and all over girls etc.

I like straight guys who play on gay/bi guys though. Just for a bit of fun. But hey, maybe that's just me being easy.

I wanna know why people hate homosexuals too, its annoying, they should just accept it

[AlexBigBrother]

i dont gettit, dont really have a problem with it, like with anything you get good people and you get bad people, sexuality realy isnt that much of a deal

Okay, I'm not homophobic in the slightest - but why should they just accept it?

I don't condone their beliefs at all, quite the opposite, but why would someone accept something they're against? They won't "stop" it, I know, but you wouldn't just sit back and accept something you're against.

That said, I do appreciate your point in that more often than not there's no reason for their beliefs at all other than ignorance.

There really isn't a **** load to "get". Gay people like members of the same sex and straight people like people of the opposite sex. It's hardly rocket science.

I am French-Canadian, I am a minority.

Homosexuals can't be described as a "minority" as they are not a visible minority... if homosexuals are a protected group than should any other group based on personal choice.

well.......i,m in a civil partnership ,and i think gay people should have the same rights as marrieds,you must remember that before civil partnerships ,if one partner died the remaining partner was most likely to lose their home because of the tax issues.! even if it was a lifelong partnership the remaining partner had no rights at all.

but a gay 'marriage' as opposed to a civil partnership,no no.!
dont get me started about religion.

[CallumJoshuaSturt]

I'm noy bovered by gay but I would NEVER EVER be one

[Sticks]

OK

First of all I do not like the word Homophobia, as it implies people are scared of men, if you look at the Greek origins of how the word breaks down.

Homo = Man (See Homo Sapien, Homo Erectus, Homo Hibilis)

Phobia = Fear (See Phobos the attendent of Mars)

What you are talking about are people who hate homosexuals and lesbians.

Incidentally the legislation we had was against only men and there never were any restrictions on women because when the laws were brought in, Queen Victoria refused to believe Lesbianism existed.

On another point, there are religions, notable the monotheistic religions that have laws against certain sexual practices, not just homosexual practice. The laws in Leviticus 18 come to mind.

I can not speak for Judaism and Islam, but we also see homosexual practice condemnned in the New Testament, notably Romans 1:24-27

There is no way arround it, the Bible labels Homosexual practice as sin, just as it labels other things as sin. What ever their feelings or inclination to "Live and let live", Christians are bound by that law.

That said, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 points out that people can repent from that, which is what haters over look. Biblically people can change, so hating people is still wrong.
