Word up.
A girl gave a speech in high school and called me out for being a male chauvinistic pig. But that was eons ago.

I don't really consider it a fear in the classic sense. Not like..."Boo! I'm gay! BE AFRAID!!"....... "Ahhhhhh!"......... but I think people are afraid to befriend gay people or just accept them as a reality of the way the world is. They're scared they'll be the 09 version of the 1940s "N-word lover". It's just a peer pressure thing, which I think is stupid. So what I don't hate gay people? No, I'm not gay. I just don't have time in my day to hate people that ain't did !@!+ to me. It's stupid and childish man. So many straight people spend way more time worrying about the next man than the guy who's actually attracted to the next man. What part of the game is THAT? Get a real hobby.
I'm not saying like it, but these cats log on to NT and type #+@@ they KNOW they shouldn't say. I do practice what I preach. I'm preachingindifference man. I'm not a gay supporter at all. I'm a people supporter. I'm pretty sure MOST gay people would rather just be seen an accepted as"cool people" not "cool gay people".
I got you ItsGettingHot... uh... that's why you still a virgin! You're not gay or straight, you're asexual. How was that?
Edit: It also seems as if you're saying it's ok to express hate and discrimination because that's how one feels. That's utterly incorrect mydude. It's ok to feel how you feel, but if you don't feel positively, don't create an alter-ego to hide behind in order to spew your negativity.The only thing worse than a hater is a closet hater.

So lets say I let my opinion be heard on gay marriage, a lot of my opinion comes from what I've learn with my spiritual walk. Would you saythat I'm wrong for stating my opinion or would I be wrong if I went beyond the call of duty to insure gays didn't marry? I have been in situations hereon NT where whatever I said was wrong based on my belief that homosexuality is wrong. Keep in mind I have never went to a anti-gay anything so I'm prettymuch just stating opinion and everybody wants to get butt hurt about it.
Some of these cats preach equality and open mindedness, but from what I've seen, you're only open minded when your thinking like they do. How do youfeel about that?

Some of these holier than thou types are just quick to pull the trigger. Ain't %$$% wrong with saying "I don't approve" and then stating why.And I'm certain a lot of us, myself included, were taught certain religious beliefs that may have something to do with our reasoning. Personally, idon't think being gay is "right" per say. I think it may even be wrong. But some of these dudes just go too far. They call people names, make funof dudes, etc. and they do it in the name of God and Christianity. The last time I checked, the God I read about loves ALL his children the same. AndHe'll be the one to judge us all. So he doesn't need a peanut gallery full of finger pointers who think they're doing God's work. It's justfoul IMO. so if being gay is a sin, so be it. Hell, I sin everyday and so d oyou and whoever else the shoe fits. We all "live in sin", as they sayabout gay people. So I won't put myself in any better of a light than the next man, gay OR straight. Those of us that have faith in a higher power are allpraying similar prayers of repentance. Sin is universal, regardless of what book you read and which acts get that label. Like I said, indifference is mylecture.

Yes we have holier than thou's out there. But so does the opposing side. I have seen many people here who do what some of us do but they are fighting forthe opposite cause.

Belief that homosexuality is going to corrupt the moral fibers of humanity is irrational. There is no proof of such a thing. A phobia is "a strong,irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger." There is no danger associated with homosexuality. FACT. Where it gets tricky is whenpeople use the bible as their main reasoning for their opposition of homosexuality. Now you can say 'it's not irrational if my reasons forhomosexuality being terrible is in the bible." I guess technically you'd be right. Your fear of homosexuality is based on something you believe to betrue. The problem is that those teachings in the bible don't hold water. Religious or not, you have to look at facts. There aren't any that supportthe bible's views on homosexuality. Please, I am not making this a religious thing. Just stating the obvious. You can also blame it on social upbringingsbut that doesn't hold water either. You are your own person, make your own educated opinions.
But here is another belief of mine. If homosexuality disgusts you, like you find it repulsive, I don't think that is homophobia. That feeling isn'tbased on fear or some weird anxiety. That is your attitude. This is closer to racism than it is a phobia.
Fear is "keep me away from that!" Disgust is "keep that away from me."

^Allow me to simplify
Just because you base your belief on what YOU hold as irrefutable truth, doesn't mean you have the right to force that belief on someone who may notbelieve in your basis. everyone is entitled to their on "truths" just as long as it doesn't affect another person's well being. No one hasthe right to take that away.
Right?

I don't believe any one person can rightfully tell another person where, how, and when to exist.
Pretty good, that.

So me thinking it is a act of sexual immorality/disgusting is close to racism?

I kinda see what he's saying. Yeah, it's sorta in the same lane. It's looking down on somebody and their ways w/o regard to relativityand cultural differences. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's JUST like racism though.Originally Posted by RKO2004

I don't look down on them. I just think "what the hell man?". As for marriage, its whatever. They will stand before God like I will. I'll hope and pray for the best.
