Do you think homosexuality should be accepted?

[Starburst..x]

I never see hetro rights/hetro parades and equality ministers constantly catering to the needs of hetrosexuals, so I totally reject what you have just said.

Okay so there may not have parades, but you have to admit it's everywhere. In the media if a family is protrayed it will always be your nuclear family (ie Hetrosexual parents and 2 children) If i ever see anyone making out it's always a hetrosexual couple (and sometimes lets face it, when two people are going for it in public its disgusting whether their straight or not). On adverts if couples are shown it's always a hetrosexual couple.
So yeah okay it may not be displayed in the sense that there are parades and what not, but you can't reject the fact that hetrosexuality is splashed about everywhere. It's just because it's seen as a 'norm' that it comes across as not being in your face.

Everyone should be treated equal. Recently in california they took away prop 8 and in like a week gays can start marrying again depend on if its not repealed again before that time.

+1 at the above

Agreeing with the % of you, Homosexuality is just a normal thing, whether or not you are attracted to the same sex shouldnt impare peoples judgement upon you but should instead allow them to accept you for what you are rather than that they think you should be.

i can't even believe the question 'should homosexuality be accepted' is being asked. people see it as such a huge part of thier personality when it should be one of the smallest things. being gay is a sexual choice, and thats it. they shouldn't have to go on about it & neither should we. it's just what it is, other than that they're just the same as us. *REMOVED*

it's obv not natural, but i think it should be accepted because sexuality it can't be helped (i'm gay)

its debatable whether its "natural." firstly love itself (not sex) is an entirely human concept. animals indeed have emotions but they probably dont feel "love" the same way we do. they choose mates without means of real communication (imagine how hard it would be to marry someone without ever having said a word to them). nevertheless, there have been cases of homosexuality in animals, most notably penguins.

and anyway the "it isnt natural" argument is bogus, if you asked me to make a list of all the things us humans do that are "unnatural" i probably wouldnt even think "gay sex" at all.

of course. doesnt do anyone any harm, i dont see why anyone should go out of their way to rally against homosexuals when it doesnt effect their lives in the slightest.

Agreed.

I'll give my opinion in a minute, but my friend showed me this video she saw online of this guy giving an inspirational talk and he basically said why is it OK for straight people to flaunt it by snogging in public and touching and not letting go every two minutes, then why can't homosexuals do it?

Thas' true, why should people in homosexual relationships have to be worried about whether they are accepted or not on top of all the other relationship worries?

I feel that homosexuality was accepted by the majority of the population a long time ago - it really is no big deal anymore.

I disagree with that. I think it's getting there, more and more people at the moment are accepting it but not everyone, and I think it is still a bit of a big deal..


Yeah I think it should be accepted.

I disagree with that a lot too. I accept it's more accepted than previously but to say it's no big deal is ignorant, in my opinion. People kill themselves because they don't understand their homosexual feelings or because their family and friends don't accept them. It really isn't easy. Last week when I went to a gay club in a local town I saw people being verbally abused outside. I don't think a volley of abuse is "no big deal anymore". I don't think it's your ignorance by the way, it's a general thing. People accept homosexuality so they just assume everyone does and forget that it's still a 'sin' punished by death in some countries.

I don't think it's accepted in society. More so than it used to be, yeah. Accepted, no. A long way to go

this confuses me loads, tbh i think it should
