I am not ashamed to admit two things about my life. One, I am a Christian. Second, I am bisexual. I am a Libertarian at heart, and I believe in equal social rights for all.
I have heard church propaganda over and over again about how it is immoral to be gay, or to engage in any homosexual activity. The pastor at the Lutheran church that I used to go to has said, "Gays are immoral and will burn in hell." Most right-wing "Christians" will say the same thing. In high school, I fell into the same trap. I tried to repress those homosexual desires. I spoke out about immoral the gays were, and that the government should only be filled with Christians who would create a perfect Christian society.
It was my first year of college that I finally stopped fooling myself. I had repressed my desires for nearly 3 years. It is time for right-wing "Christian" politicians to accept that homosexuality is a biological function. There is no choice in sexuality. If sexuality is a choice, can straight people change to being gay? No! So why do anti-gay groups think gays can become straight? There is no 'on/off' switch that can be flipped to change sexuality.
What these anti-gay groups should be focusing on is not gays. I donât know the exact figures, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of references to helping the poor in the Bible, while there are a dozen or so references condemning homosexuality. A real Christian would not spend his/her time condemning homosexuals; instead they should help the poor, needy, and less-fortunate.
Anti gay groups are just proffessional bigots who hate gays because they arent allowed to hate blacks anymore
That might be a little bit off. Thats probalbly not entirly true but it is true that they have no real reason to hate gays and/or bi's. Christianity can exsit with homosexulism(I don't know/care if thats not a word I'm useing it so deal with it)in my opnion becuase the two people that we could be talking about still love each other and cherish their union, so I would hope at least..if they don't thats a whole other issue. Thats my opinion. You are entitled to yours and so am I.

You will burn in hell if you are gay and you dont repent because in the bible it says that Homosexuality is a pervision and blasphemy against God.
I think that's already been done, Doomkiller. I doubt we'll see his like in this thread again.
@ichibon:
Wow. Now that's courage. Now that I've thought on it, Christianity shows its true colors whenever believers are persecuted and/or in the minority.
When the Christian faith took the reins of power from the crumbling Roman Empire, it inherited the taint that comes with absolute power. Look to the Middle Ages. Interestingly enough, the so-called "Dark Ages" were not as dark as most history books paint them. More on that later.
Smart? Calling yourself smart tends to mean the opposite in practice, 'least that's what my experiences have taught me.

Hmm. ...and God spake unto them saying: "that is an exit hole. Thou shalt not introduce anything into it."
And speaking of Sodom, I think God laid waste to that city and Gomorrah because both were utter jerks to His emissary Lot rather than any sexual wickedness.
