The gay people do not want you or your children to be gay (of course there ARE extremists in every group though). Most of them just want to live their lives and NOT to be discriminated against. They are people, human beings, and should not be judged solely by their "sex lives." Some of you seem to be under the impression that most gay people are like walking around half naked and having sex in public or something. Maybe you've attended too many gay pride parades, I don't know, but I've known several very nice gay people and couples who do not do those things. They just live their lives, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep and live like everyone else except for one little difference . . . they choose to have sex with the same sex. BFD. If they are nice people and are welcoming and friendly, nothing else really matters IMO. I certainly don't hate them and wouldn't treat them like crap because of their choice of a bed partner. Not my business.
>>The gay people do not want you or your children to be gay
I am not convinced that is true. It seems to me the educations system and the media and the government are in the business of almost encouraging any youngster who is confused to let go and go for it.
>>(of course there ARE extremists in every group though).
Of course. And it is those “extremist” and vocal militant Christians who are the only ones the promoters of gay freedoms point to --- as though that is the only voice or platform Christianity holds.
>>Most of them just want to live their lives and NOT to be discriminated against.
Discrimination covers a lot of ground. IOW, anything that we do not fall in line with, such as gay marriage or telling the world “gay is ok” is an act of militant discrimination. Not so. Many Christians are more worried about how this “sex is harmless, any sex” has no moral bearing on a culture or on the worth of the soul.
>>They are people, human beings, and should not be judged solely by their "sex lives." Some of you seem to be under the impression that most gay people are like walking around half naked and having sex in public or something.
Some may be under that impression, true, but not because the media and the culture and the gay voices does not seem to be saying that themselves. There are precious few monogamous gay relationships, even those who are “married,” that is, if you are to take their own word on it alone.
>>Maybe you've attended too many gay pride parades,
Those gay pride parades have gone mainstream. Nary a single politician or govt official dare say this open public demonstration celebrating a perverse kind of sex has the least bit thing wrong with it. I, personally, find them to be quite debauched and an affront to the Creator.
>>I don't know, but I've known several very nice gay people and couples who do not do those things. They just live their lives, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep and live like everyone else except for one little difference . . . they choose to have sex with the same sex. BFD.
If only it were that simple and harmless. Our world has made sexual freedom of whatever pleases the passions (child sex notwithstanding) to be the most sought after reason for living. Not much to admire in that.
>> I certainly don't hate them and wouldn't treat them like crap because of their choice of a bed partner.
Nor would I. But the issue of homosexuality and its acceptance as a harmless diversion can still be civilly debated on many levels.
>>Not my business.
Yes, if one does not take God seriously, then I imagine it would not be my business. But we are called to be in this world but not of this world. No doubt we will be vilified for such a brazen position. And no doubt, when we become hateful or sinful ourselves (as many enough Christians are) then it is those who will be the poster child for the voices who point to Christianity as nothing more than a mythology filled with bigots.
