Yeah, and I can respect that.

People are entitled to their opinions so long as they do not use it to abuse another person's rights as well.

I fully agree with you razaki. I can't say who is right or who is wrong in this argument, or tell someone what to believe. But when people start to get disrespectful or force their opinions on others, that I cannot agree with.

people thes days talk about weird subjects, but I guess everyone can make decisions and hope they make the right choices, but I still think it is personal

Well, warmech, that kind of thinking is backward.

What if we had allowed slavery to continue just to avoid the political dispute over it?

Or the inability for blacks or women to vote?

In cases like this, activism is the only way to get anything done.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the way our world operates, yes.

I believe that a lot of sheltered young folks are the ones that seem to be "against" homosexuality.

I will say this from an objective point of view. We are all individuals and we all make our own choices. There is no reason for anyone to tell a consenting adult what they can or cannot do. I have a problem with a lot of people, but what they do is there business. I just choose to not be around them.

Another thing to investigate is homosexuality in animals. We claim it to be unnatural, but I wouldn't call it artificial that I am gay. It is more natural to me being gay than when I was pretending to be straight.

And I am extremely disappointed that the word g.a.y. is starred out. THAT is offensive.

I have no idea what homosexuality is. Ive never heard it in my life. Its probably up to the people who do it

Homosexuality is just a part of life

Yeah, it is a bit strange that g-a-y is starred out, but I can see the reasoning behind it. It unfortunately has a very negative connotation behind it and seems to be used as an insult more often than a simple classification.

I live in a smallish town that, for being in Michigan, is a very redneck-y town. NRA, homophobia, racism, etc. Sometime around 2 weeks ago, a person that I know but am not too close with - an acquaintance, if you will - said in a myspace blog that he has come to the realization that he is at least bisexual if not gay.

You'd have thought he'd have threatened to blow up the school.

It was the talk of every class, I swear. Even the people that aren't overtly homophobic were saying that he shouldn't have come out. It's like the "don't ask, don't tell" crap, only school and not the military.

Homosexuality in the animal kingdom is something that is staggering in the fact that people simply don't know about it. I've had arguments with my family before - all Southern Baptists - about homosexual rights and brought up the fact that it is present among animals only to be looked at with blank stares and doubting faces.

*shrug*

That is true...and it's funny how many people use the word 'g.a.y' now.
