Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think homosexuals are totally fine. I have some friends that are gay, and a friend that is bi. Gay guys great! They're so funny, and seem to be better understanding women, and clothing, and the like (like in queer eye for the straight guy!). Anyway, I think gay marriage is fine, but can't they be happy just living together? Some heterosexual couples do that too. A friend of mine has parents that are happily living together, but aren't married. Actually, it might just be simpler that way, especially if you want to divorce. You just move out! I don't think gays should be having those gay parades either. They are just asking for it. Critisism I mean. And why would they want that? Hm.. what else was I going to say..?. Ugh, I am so out of it today.

Homosexuality is not wrong. And I think that anybody who thinks it is, is just afraid. Isn't America the land of the Free? Then why can't gays and lesibians get married? Some people might be afraid that 'the population might decease rapidly if we allowed this' but wouldn't that just help with how our population has been growing?
There is nothing wrong with being gay, lesbian, or bi. I'm bi, and I wouldn't like it if I was walking down the street with my girlfriend (don't have one though, as I am dating a boy) and people were making remarks or just looking at me weird because of my likes and/or dislikes.

Well, to start, gay marriage in the secular world shouldn't even be a discussion. Within religions, it's up to the leaders and teachings of that religion to decide if gay marriage will be sanctioned. Homosexuals bugging the Christians or Jews for gay marriage doesn't make sense. In the destruction of sodom, gay sexual intimacy is not only shown as immoral and evil, but also as a weaponized evolution of excess.

There are some issues here though. Gay pride parades have reached a point of excess that's simply uncalled for. Homosexuals banding together is fine, however, parading through the streets in minimal or overly suggestive clothing and throwing condoms into crowds has nothing to do with pride. It is rather an embarassment, that makes all the teachings of the faith which see it as immoral seem true. Gay people should not claim that their relationships are any more intense than straight relationships, and thus should not display them as requiring some extra flamboyancy.

The problem is that homosexuality is sometimes simply a sexual orientation, in which case those who fall under this category should be treated the same as heterosexuals. However, if it is chosen as some kind of elevated fetish, then it should be as hidden as anyone would hide any strange fetish. Decadence is supressed in religion always for a reason. There is such thing as moral decay, and public indecency.

The people who are craving a full strength sexual revolution are often simply thinking on more animalistic terms, having not witnessed the consequences of a society defiled by excess. This can be compared to anti-war advocates who have never truly looked into all aspects of war. Had world war 2 not raged across the many lands which it did, than the furnaces of the holocaust would have continued to blaze. Though motives in warfare can always be questioned, there are truly just motives, where force was needed to combat corruption and evil. I'm using the word evil abit liberally here, but that's an entirely different debate all together.

Anyways, the trick, as always, is that equal rights DOES NOT mean special treatment, and some groups and individuals need to figure out which they are really grabbing for.
