Lately a lot of people have been "coming out" and its being a kinda trend now, I've been seening a lot of people saying that they are, one person has came out and a lot of people have be discussing their points of views of LGBT couples and usually all the post against it get deleted due to it not really needed to the posts

So I've decided we can talk about your points of views of LGBT couples (within reason of course) if you are against or for it, but please for either side you're discussing please support it with your reasoning.
Being gay myself I say there is nothing wrong with it so I kindof want to see how other people view people in the LGBT community.​

Also just a request, please try not to quote another persons opinion and make them explain their point unless if its really necessary (I'm pretty sure you can tell the borderlines of this)

 

I think there is nothing wrong with LGBT couples.
I think its horrible where people in this society have to be "brave" and "ashamed" to 'come out', they shouldn't have to 'come out'. It should be socially acceptable. I'm going to cover different points. Marriage, Religion and Is it a choice or not.​

Marriage: ​

We've live in the world of change, lets start with our great grandmothers or around that time- Woman had no rights, no right to marry who they loved. Now, today women, your mothers, are in control their lives, getting to marry who they love. They get to go to work. They don't even need to play the stereotypical part anymore and stay in the kitchen, they can do whatever they damn want. In today's norms this is acceptable.

Dark skinned people had no rights either, they were considered to be dumb and only fitted to be slaves and had all rights striped of them. Now hardly anyone anymore gives a damn about the difference. A dark skinned man and a women of white skin can marry and no one gives a second thought. A norm that has changed giving more rights to the people of the world.

So what about gay people? We still don't have all our rights. There is still discrimination towards a community of people in the world. Where I live, Australia. We are the most open minded country in the world. We accept every race and everyone "Australia is the best place to be". The governments controls what is socially acceptable, if they keep rejecting this then how will society accept this? Well yet again, at least its legal to date the same sex... but what if you're going to work as a someone who is dating the same sex
Single, Married. Which one do we put? If I go to work and have to say my marriage status how would I reply. I love my boyfriend with all my heart and consider him as my soul-mate for life. But I'm not allowed to marry him... so I'd have to put single wouldn't I? This is so sicking and I can't stand it... ​

Religion:
Gonna quickly touch on this then leave. ​

I was raised catholic and later turned my back on it. But yes, gay is a sin which is stated in the bible. Marriage is a man and a women to reproduce. What about the people who just have sex for no reason and not thinking about reproduce. (pretty sure the bible says that being a whore is a sin too but I'm not sure and I'm not sure if thats still a huge deal about that, tell me if im wrong about that please XD).
​

Are you born it?:
I'm just going to quote what I said earlier in the thread:
​

That is the case for me, me trying to ignore it for years because of my religion broke me apart and made me into a erm... player. I started to become the sexist towards women and thought that they were only objects and I had no remorse for breaking a girls heart. That is when I decided that I don't want to change myself for my religion and God loves me for who I am regardless of who I love (And if not then I don't regret loving who I do) so I came to terms with myself, turned my back on my religion and as much as I wish I could control it at times, I can't help being gay. Don't get me wrong, I love who I'm inlove with and wouldn't do anything in the world to change that and I love Destiny with all my heart but even when the times are tough, rejection by the few friends I have in real life, the name teasing and the abuse people around me put upon me, being gay is a huge weight on my shoulders and being straight would be so much easier... If I could choose I would of choose to be straight ages ago and saved myself most of the trouble I've gone through. But I guess in the end I'm with my amazing boyfriend and future husband, so it isn't all that bad.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So yeah, I didn't choose it. I couldn't loose it. ​

 

You either adopt or have none in my view. It seems very unnatural. I know its love and all but withour its biologically impossible without science. There is plenty of kids in the uk that need adopting.

 

All the time spent on land and I can't understand this one thing... Land
I mean with us fish its just like we lay some eggs in a river and a male fertilizes them
Of course now with these fisheries we have to deal with disease and a lot of the salmon die before they have a chance to lay their eggs.

 

Well tbh, I dont really mind.

 

Myself being bisexual, have no problem with those couples. I'm happy being who I am, no matter how many people will disagree with it. Everyone should have the freedom to love who they want. If it makes them happy, then go for it.

 

I think you meant "your" in the title. Sorry, pet peeves 0:

Anyways, I dont technically support the idea of being gay, and I know just by saying that I could possibly get a ton of hate, but whatever.

I don't support it, but I don't discriminate against it either. I think everyone and anyone should do whatever makes them happy, so long as it's in reason. I, personally, wouldn't choose that lifestyle, but that doesn't mean other people shouldn't.

 

I am Gay, and I am in a relationship now. It feels right to me, I think who ever you want to be with is your right as a human. I am extremely happy and I think that happiness is important ^-^

 

I believe it is wrong. I believe that God created man for woman, and woman for man. I know that some people say: "What's so wrong? It's not like their trying to hurt anyone." And, I agree. Now, there are people who call themselves homophobes, because they either hate, or are just prejudice people, and I would just like to say, this is not the case for myself. Yes, I do believe in Jesus, and the Bible says it is wrong, and I believe it is.

Now, that being said, I want anyone who might find this post a jab at LGBT, to know that it is not. While I do believe it's wrong, I need everyone to understand that I love LGBT just as I do anyone else. I would never insult, or berate someone, just because they have different beliefs and/or lifestyles, then me.

While I will not support someone who chooses to be a LGBorT, I love them all. I will never mistreat them, nor hurt them in any way. I will love them for who they are, human beings with a heart and a soul.

There has been too much hate and pain over people's selfish desires and actions. In my opinion, the world needs more love, and I am going to show it every ounce I can.

 

The bible also says to murder your kid if they hit you. Do you support that?

Not hate, just a question. So many Christians are unaware of some things the bible says, like:

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)

All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

This is just a few examples. Yes, I realize this is somewhat unrelated. I'm just curious if you actually knew that things like this were in there.

 

I think you're taking things too literally from The Bible. It also depends on whether these quotes were from the new or old testament.

 

Oh, I have a story to tell, a story to tell! I'll edit it into this post. But I personally, have no problem with it. I'm not going to treat you or think of you differently because of your sexuality. Love who you want.

 

Tbh I don't mind; do what you want to do and love who you do,
I just prefer for others the same sex as me to not hit on me...

 

I understand how you must be confused, but... As Lime said, the Old Testament is different in some cases as it was meant for the time before Christ, essentially. The New Testament tells us how people after Christ were supposed to live, because some things changed after Christ came. Does that mean we are allowed to commit horrible acts? No.

And as for the verse in Ephesians, yes... We are too respect and fear our superiors, but it is a reverencial fear, not a "scared" kind of fear.


I hope this helped.

Thanks. This did help actually.

 

It's unnatural because 2 of the same sex cannot reproduce.

 

Moved to Off-Topic..

You cannot have this.. discussion without people being slightly mean, even more when you ask for opinions, you basically said for people to post their opinions but at the same time not to post if you're mean, and then anyone not agreeing with your beliefs on the matter could be seen as 'being mean'.

While the longer I look at the situation, I can see how two of the same gender dating is actually unnatural, and odd for others, but it's because of love that it happens, and love is natural, so therefore I see it as borderline, however the only thing I hate is the labeling, the LGBT groups that exclude others, you don't see straight groups it just feels like petty segregation. So really I don't care at all for the 'LGBT' group, no matter what you should just be yourself, nothing else. The only thing that annoys me is public displays of affection, whether it be from gay or straight, it annoys me as I don't want to see that, go somewhere secluded or into your bedroom to do it.. -.-
