I had an argument with one of my male friends a while back now because he said that lesbians were amazing but gays were disgusting.He's a ***.

People have different beliefs .... it makes us individuals! This may be cultural or spiritual or religion, there are hundreds to name, having your own beliefs does not make you a ***, as long as you do not try and enforce them on other people, you have to accept other people how they are, and respect they have their own beliefs!

Anyway this thread is pointless ... it should not be directed towards defending somebody because of their sexual orientation, most gays and lesbians do not want special treatment, should it not be about what is right and wrong? You should defend what is right, as long as it is not your personal view that makes it right! Discrimination in any context is wrong, live and let live!

I believe I've already said it before in this thread, but why do gays need specific protection? They aren't any less able to stand up for themselves than anyone else.

I would stand up for gays and lesbians. I would have rather died in the London Bombings than those people in the club!

I would stand up for anyone really, but especially Gays and Lesbians because it's not right to treat them any differently. They're humans with rights.

I've recently moved in with my Nan in Blackpool. My parents say it wont be long before my Nan throws me out with the druggies, p*ss heads, prostitutes, and gay freaks. So I turn around and shout at them saying that there's nothing wrong with gays and lesbians, they just rather take life in a different way. Okay, the drunks and drug-takers along with the prostitutes have the choice not to, but Gays and Lesbians just choose that they prefer their own sex to the opposite. It's like being a cat person or a dog person. You like one or the other. It's their choice, they chose, they're still human, they have rights... So an argument breaks out, they accuse me of being Gay so I go upstaris, because I'm not ready to admit I am Gay ..

I know loads of Gays, Just bacause they are Gay, mostly Born Gay, not there choice Why should you be nasty to them? They still have feelings like every single person.

Homophobia isn't a "sick and horrible" thing anyway, it's a genuine phobia just like any other. Sufferers just react to it differently than we do with other phobias because it's a state of being rather than an actual thing.

Ummm you see homophobia is not a state of feeling it is something that people live with, such as myself. It's not like I can stop being homophobic nor would I ever want to. Promoting homosexuality would be a sin and I attempt to not sin.

What does the term "Flying Jesus" mean anyways to you?

I try to. My best friend is kind of a homophobe even though she says she isn't and she just "disagrees with their lifestyle." Yesterday I was looking at one of my gay friends pictures on myspace and the girls he came with was telling my best friend to look at one of his picture captions, and even though the caption had nothing to do with being gay, she says "oh, he's gay" like it's supposed to drive everyone away from him. I get kind of tired of it but there's no point in even trying to argue with her cause she thinks she's right.
