Homosexuality & Gay marriage - Your views

[Bun]

I think saying gays can't adopt because the child will be bullied is like saying it's okay and acceptable for a child to be bullied because they have gay parents. You're basically saying it's what's to be expected.

it is expected though, and surely the child's quality of life should be put first?

I don't know where you went to school. It's bound to happen, that doesn't mean I agree with it because I certainly don't. I would genuinely feel sorry for children who were adopted into a gay family. Until their class mates are older they won't fully understand and will be the victim of numerous taunts directed at the sexuality of their parents.

most people at my school are open minded and wouldn't give a **** tbh

Well they bully them because they think it's wrong or bad, an idea they must've got from somewhere. It's like when the gays kissed on eastenders and people complained that their children would see it... I think a bunch of gays would make better parents than someone who passes narrow-minded opinions to their children.

That's only according to one theory though - what's not to say God didn't put 'sin' in the system in the first place.

Maybe its the way you expressed your opinion. Dentafrice was polite, backed up his opinions with why he thought those things and gave examples. Then you just say "Agreed, it's vile". You haven't added anything and why you think that. You could have worded it better.

Also, not all gays go shouting about being gay. I certainly don't - it makes no difference to me. Being gay is 0.0001% of who I am, there is so much more to me before that than just being gay. I'm a guy who just like other guys, and that's it. That's how I live my life and I certainly don't live my life based around the fact I'm gay.

I think a lot of straight people just make out they dislike gays because they think they should, they have no genuine reason to. Also, I think some heterosexual people flatter themselves too much and think every gay is going to come onto them.

[Dentafrice]

I don't have a problem with gays, being gay. (the pun on that sounded awful).

Not every gay is going to come onto you, although I do not like it when they do. If they see me with my girlfriend, or any girl for that matter.. I don't really find it 'stable' (as it, not annoying) for a gay to be 'flirting' with me.

And again, I don't like it when they shout out that they are gay, I think that your sexuality is just a preference.. nothing more. I don't really think it's even a lifestyle.

It's simple.. you're choosing to like the same sex, instead of the opposite...

It's like choosing to drive a automatic, or manual.. it's your choice, and your preference.

We don't have stick shift pride festivals and parades.. so why should you have gay pride ones?

Or gay pride week? Why don't we have straight pride week.. or straight pride rainbows.

I just think that being "gay" and homosexuality is really a "rebel" social movement.. because I don't think you just wake up and decide "hey.. I'll be gay! I like looking at guys."

I think there are many many physiological reasons to why you may be attracted to the same sex, instead of the opposite.

Maybe you've had extremely bad relationships in the past with the opposite sex? Things like that can affect your decisions. "Well I can't find a decent girl.. maybe I can find a decent guy.." thinks like that.

I think it's sorta like the 70+80s rock scene.. where all teenagers were trying to be rebellious to their parents, and society in general.

But not exactly rebellious as in doing "bad things", but in a sense of they want to be different.. and not be like everyone else.. (as in being straight..).

That's just my opinion though, maybe you can get something out of that.

FlyingJesus and I agreed a while back in the thread about those views, so you're not alone

To what seems to be the majority of homosexuals, it's just an excuse to rebel. I find it incredibly frustrating talking to some of my gay friends, and indeed looking at how they feel on Facebook sometimes, when they say they "want a relationship" and get worked up about it, when we all are aware it's just for sex.

There is no commitment it seems in the majority of homosexual/same sex relationships. I was thinking about this earlier watching Coronation Street (lol). I heard on it "I want to be with you, I want to fulfill my dreams and live through them with you." I don't think I've ever heard anything remotely similar in gay relationships, there's no passion, no deep feelings. I have, however, heard something similar with heterosexual relationships and the ones that have lasted over a year.

It does make me wonder what causes this rebellious and hypocritical behaviour. Maybe it's society, but society cannot be blamed for the difficulties a gay guy has to find other gay guys and bond like straight couples bond, through time and interests. Looking at my friends, the only time they know about other gay guys is through going to gay nights at University and City Gay Nights. And as we all know, not everyone is confident enough to go find what they're looking for without alot to drink, and it does usually end up with kissing strangers or further, sleeping with them after one or two nights.

They seem to jump straight into the deep end. The relationship ends as fast as it was to get into it. I would like to see my friends do it the old fashioned way, which is get to know each other and see how it goes from there. It seems to be the only way that works, it's rare to hear that they end a long time when the relationship started with kissing and sex. But it depends if anyone else sees it that way I guess :/
