I have no problem with someone being homosexual.
I have no problem with them protesting their homosexuality to make people more aware.
I also have no problem with them making homosexual jokes toward me, or even advances.
What I DO take issue with, is the way, some homosexuals somehow think being gay gives them the right force a particular homosexual lifestyle down one's throat. Yes, I'm talking about "being camp". By all means, be romantically involved with someone of the same gender, by all means protest and try to make it more socially acceptable, but for the love of all that is holy, don't go around with your fucking lady-bags and talk in a terribly false and girly voice.
If you do that you may as well just get a fucking sex-change, which I also fully support. I just don't like femininity to the extreme in men. It find it horribly off-putting. Actually wait, I don't mind that either, just do it away from me.
I believe the "behind closed doors" line works well here.

I am fully in support of the intrinsic rights of homosexuals, but being in the precarious position of being heterosexual I really don't think I posses [or anyone else for that matter] the capacity to downplay the rights any other lifestyles or the people that surround it. Considering that I'm a poor, morally devoid student that subsists on the refuse stuck to the carpet, but...
'Do as you will but harm none' is the creed I typically suggest while trouncing around this sort of subject matter, because honestly when it comes right down to it someone is going to be offended by sexual variance.
You hear a lot of about the imminent collapse of values and morality, contrived in defense of depriving people of their inalienable human rights, yet in actuality it's some gormless gobshite's response to bedroom antics that they "don't approve of"

Stop referring to homosexuals as "they". Not every homosexual is the same and just because some choose to fling their sexuality into people's faces(gay pride parades for example)is not a reason to condemn an entire group of people.
This discussion reminded me of this. It pretty much sums up my feelings about bigots using an ancient text to justify their prejudice.
Fair warning, this song has foul language and might offend you if you're religious. I'm not even joking, if you can't take a joke don't watch this.

You're right about it being badly worded; I promise I won't go overboard on this. Besides, everyone seems to have gotten there before me. Anyways; my basic view is I really don't care what people do with their own time and space. I, personally, am heteroflexible. Not entirely sure whether I'm Bi or not. Anyways. What I was trying to say was that it's a person's own choice what they do to their bodies. It shouldn't matter what their orientation is. So, I don't "support" homosexuality, no more than I support heterosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality or any other particular orientation you care to mention. And don't point holes in my argument by saying bestiality. Just don't.
I suggest you do some studying before you quote Leviticus as your reasoning. Because if you quote one part of it, I expect you to hold fast to every part of it. I'm sure you also think slavery should be legalized, according to Lev 25:44 "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves". And also how eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev 11:10 "And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you") and that eating pig is also forbidden (Lev 11:7,8 "And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you." ).Relaver said:
Please tell me you also follow these rules.
This may come across as being waay to nosy, I'd like to ask a question, if I may?Rascarin said:
When you say that men repulse you, is that in a strictly sexual sense or do we just repulse you in general? If the first, well, that's understandable. If the second, then, how do you make that work?
I only ask because, as a straight dude myself, I can't say that guys repulse me. I'd not have sex with one, but I sure don't find us repulsive. So I just wonder in what sense you are repulsed.
And if this is none of my business, you have my sincere apologies for being so damn nosy.
Well said. I agree. And I'm for homosexuality. It is horrific that some people still discriminate these people for such a small thing.Sightless Wisdom said:
I am completely indifferent to homosexuality, as a concept.
I see nothing wrong with it, and as an asexual, I don't really like it either.
Regardless, I do support the freedom of any individual who is a homosexual to do whatever they want with their significant other, regardless of what bigots and homophobes say.
There is nothing inherently wrong with it, and it is overall neutral (so long as the more intimate acts of the involved parties are not performed in public, for any kind of illicit sexual act, straight or gay, should be kept private), so I see no reason for all the consistent and uneducated hatred that is commonly propagated by bigots, homophobes, and anyone else that can be brought under the classification of "a douche bag".

This is an extremely loaded question. I can promise you that anyone that comes in here and says they are against it, is going to get hammered by people, even if that is THEIR choice. Even though them being against it, by no means should imply they want to see anyone of that lifestyle hounded, persecuted, or anything else. Maybe they just dont agree with it.Sarpedon said:
I have nothing against anyone of that lifestyle. Its their choice. But MY feelings towards it are I am against it.
You, my dear, have officially won the internets. Congratulations!Rascarin said:
OT: I guess i'm indifferent. I don't have a problem with it, and may even be a tad bi myself, but I don't really know that I could call myself a supporter of it. What does that even mean? Love who you want, fuck who you want; it has absolutely no effect on me.
Eh, not mad; those were just fun facts. My main point was that being a homosexual isn't genetic but it's not a 'learned behavior' either. It falls into a third category of simply 'being' .AnkaraTheFallen said:
So many times Ive rewritten my reply, trying to keep my tone civil in the way you so epically failed to do.evilthecat said:
To your first point I say I guess just like I have to gay couples have to chin up and deal with it- its incredibly rude for couples to have a public make out session in any case.
And to your second point I have a hard time understanding why some homosexuals feel the need to turn their backs on their masculinity, if Im honest it reminds me of self-mutilation, which is undoubtedly gonna make you go all supercillious and indignant again.
