What do you think about the two girls that wanted to go to prom together in Mississippi? They wanted to go to prom together, but the school said no. The school stated that either they quite being persistent and didn't go to prom or prom is going to be canceled. The two girls are now suing the school.

My personal belief is that they should be able to go to prom together, everyone has the right to their own sexual preference, and others should be open minded enough to realize this.

The reason they weren't allowed to the prom together is for one simple reason I think. If they went to the prom together and made out they would get harrassed, sexual harrassed and a fight would probably start. Well anyways that's what would happen at my school...

A legitimate concern.

This is why schools, and the government for that matter, should express Sexual Orientational Freedom. If kids weren't raised to see that bashing gays was normal, then it would not happen.

This is ALSO why schools need better security. If people feel an oppressive force, they either lash out and get taken down or see this happening and stay subdued.

adios194, you are a complete genius and should be commended for everything you just did. I would never be brave enough to quote and slam all of those people, its amazing

lol
I noticed.

Is conceited a loose term for you?

Without any risk there is no gain.

What's with all these Homosexual topics, first it was God, now its homosexuality. Whatever, I can get involved in either topic.

Personally, I am lead to believe that the South is very prejudice against gays (Super Hard-Core Christians). There are plenty of cases like this, it's sad to see how blind some people are. People will believe what they will and you can do whatever you want to stop them but there will be more. At times I am inclined to say that I think the country would be better without the southern states, as a majority of the population seems to be insane down there.

I am from the south, and I think that this comment is very insulting and stereotyped. My father is from the Northeast and I think that his family is actually LESS accepting of homosexuals. So I would just like to clarify that this is completely wrong.

I'm from Alabama, your comment was very stereotypical. Multiple other states in the north, west, and east are less accepting than the south. It just counts on the person, not the area of residency.

To be fair, area will have an effect on your beliefs, as the people you're around shape what you think a lot. However, I'm not from America so I cannot comment on which particular areas think what (in general).

Back to homosexuality...

I am ashamed to say, as a Christian, that a lot of homophobia (in Britain in particular, cannot comment on USA) as there is one verse in the Bible:

"Man should not lie with man as with woman" Lev. chapter 15.

Copied from Yahoo answers:

He actually never said man should not lie with man as with woman. That's a mistranslation found in two verses in Leviticus: 18:22 and 20:13.

Both verses in Hebrew contain the phrase: "in a woman's bed," which is absent in the English translations, but instead mistranslated as "as with a woman." The Hebrew contains no comparison words ("as&quot, and simply contains rules about the proper use of a woman's bed, as does Lev. chapter 15.

But even if our translation was correct, it's the only verse in the Bible against it. 1, one, single, etc. There are more verses supporting a death sentence, and does the UK have one? Nope. Don't even get me started about the Government picking and choosing laws from religion...

Please, tell me why you're 'led to believe that the South is very prejudice against gays?

I would like to see some proof, you don't have to list them all but it would be appreciated if you included specific 'cases' from which state(s)?

Your last comment, 'there will be more.', what? Prejudice?

I find this line offensive. If you're referring to the ACW, then this is the wrong thread but there is a thread on this topic.

Happen to have a better source the yahoo answer for this?

So basically what is being said is the real translation reads: man should not lie with man in a woman's bed?

But even if our translation was correct, it's the only verse in the Bible against it.


No it's not.

For example
Romans 1:27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

There are several times the Bible speaks of homosexual acts all of which are done so negatively.

No it's not.

Agreed, there are multiple. Just because it's wrong in the bible doesn't mean it's wrong. The bible has multiple opinions.

Being gay is not "normal"
simply because the majority is not gay and other living things do not express "gayness" so being gay is different, not normal to the average statistic human population.

He said that kids shouldn't be raised to view gay bashing as normal. Not anything about whether or not it's normal to be gay.

Normality is a fairly abstract concept anyway.

Where are you getting this other living things don't show homosexual behavior from? We have documented over a thousand species displaying this tendency (wiki says close to 1500). In fact I'm not sure if there is a single mammalian species that we haven't found this tendency in. Also it's not so much that your either gay or not gay it's more like a spectrum going from only interested in the opposite sex to only interested in the same sex.

How do you know it isn't, maybe everyone is somewhat gay except you, but are hiding it due to the closed minded society we live in.
