Homosexuality

One point I cannot understand. Is it a trend in the groups of teenagers to say that they are gey? I know many girls about in the age of 13-15 that are saying that their sexual interest is towards women. They say that they had made their decisions long ago, which I can't just believe, since they still say that they would want to date a guy and so, even thought I mention this times and times over, they deny that they have said that and still say that they are gay. It's funny to see that the teenagers are really trying to gain respect when they say that they're gay.

 

I'm not sure if you were passing this to me, but I meant in my post that is it a trend nowadays for teenagers to say that they are geys.

 

hmm....by trend you're meaning that they just choose to be gay and it's a "big thing" right? I know some girls that act that way too and they're about the same age cept they havent said any "made their descision a long time ago" crap (which i cannot believe either). Well....as far as I know, it isnt an actual trend. Also, in general, it's not yet confirmed that gayness is affected by something wrong in someone's psychological being or something wrong in their brain or just something you choose to be.

 

I've noticed this too...it seems like it's becoming a fad to be 'different' these days, because 'acceptance' is supposed to be predominant in this society.

Things like being foreign are becoming fashionable...or being such and such religion, whichever is the 'flavour of the month' (a lot of girls are pagan, or wiccan these days...which is all fine and good if you actually believe it, but most of the people I bump into know nothing of it!)

I've seen boatloads of girls who claimed they were gay in highschool, and have 'known for years' as you've said...which I really doubt, I even knew two girls who were 'dating' in grade 3, but there wasn't actually anything physical about the relationship at all (how could there be at that age!). I even know 2 separate cases, of girls who claimed they were gay (to be popular perhaps), who got married...to men. Another I know of, has a child out of wedlock (with a man).

The question is, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Why say you're gay if you don't even know for sure? In what possible universe does the prospect of one's sexual orientation add to their popularity?

(This is one of my pet peeves...if you want to be gay, be gay but don't shove my face in it. If I don't like straight people telling me "Yo...I just boned this chick last night" then I have every right not to like gay people being flambuoyant in front of me either. Keep it in the bedroom please).

 

We shouldnt have to be pro gay rights, its ridiculous that in this day and age the stigma attached to homosexuality is still there.

 

I agree. With the freedom there is now it should be expected that homosexuals have the right to choose.

 

I know of guys who are married, but they yearn for another male. i.e. Discreet males who want to hook with guys and have sex or relationships, but they are married and have kids.

And a gay male who had sex with a woman to have a child of his own.

 

It isn't really about that that they can't have an option and we cannt really say that "you two shouldn't be together as you are of the same sex". Of course people have a right tochoose whether they're gays or not, but I still think that it's really just too early to say that you're a homosexual in the age of... 13 and so.

 

i agree.
i wouldnt deny someone there right to love someone of the same sex but personally i dont think i would choose that for myself. but i have many homosexual friends and i love them!

 

You deleted the relevant part of my post...it wasn't a challenge (ie. 'find me an example of a gay person who acts married).

It was in response to (or rather, supporting) nosecap's assertion that there are a whole bunch of young kids claiming to be gay without actually knowing...like it's some kind of fashion trend. My point was, these people said they were gay, while in school, and now sure enough, straight as an arrow.

Exactly what I'm trying to say.

 

Homosexuality is a sin. I still have friends that are gay and i have no problem with them, but the family unit is the most important social unit there ever will be. It was ordained of God and Homosexuality goes against that.

I'v seen it break up familys a guy I kno left his wife, a close friend, and kidds for another man and life was hell for her for a while, so that may also make me a bit bias.
And while i have no problem with those who are homosexual. I dont like Homosexuality.

It doesnt affect my friendship's I have with my homosexual friends and they they know my view on it.

Plus no one is purfect and we all have things we don't choose, which we have to deal with.

 

i would like to interject, gays people are sometimes just confused or don't think girls will like them so they go to guys. they tink they'll be happy.

 

A whole bunch of kids claiming they're gay... Sounds like this one episode of South Park. Everybody in town suddenly started saying they were metrosexuals. Never fully saw that episode, but I do remember Crab People.

 

To be technical, the "family unit" is defined in a very specific way...

So just to be pedantic, what you mean to say is "Homosexuality may go against the "Family Unit" but who cares? They can do just as good a job, so it's a stupid definition in the first place."

---------------

And also to be fair, homosexual adoption is a new process. It's unfortunate, but a fact of life that even things which shouldn't matter, such as race, do affect a child's mental health (ie. Americans adopting Chinese orphans, statistically speaking, the children will grow up with depression (I won't go into the details), while say, a Swiss couple adopts Chinese children, they are statistically less likely to have this problem).

It's too early to say a child will be perfectly fine in a homosexual parents' environment...we can't look at any such statistics yet, because as I mentioned it's too new.

My point is, your working hypothesis is, children raised by homosexual parents will not be (statistically) any worse off than children raised by straight parents.

Not saying it's a bad hypothesis or anything, but you don't have any grounds to say that yet (nor does anyone have the grounds to say the opposite). It's all speculative at this point.

 

I would have to say that being homosexual in itself is not a sin, but practicing homosexuality is.

 

Although i dont like the way/idea of homosexual sex. Its there choice, its a way to 'express there love'

 

Quite right, I agree but also I don't think Homosexual parents would be ideal because the first way a child learns is by mimicry and so i think that the child would be more likely to grow up as a homosexual and a child needs more than love they also need to know the difference between right and wrong so thinking that being gay is ok would maybe lead the child to thinking that lieing(sp?), stealing, ect. would be ok so i would have to disagree that they would be ideal parents.
