<p>... that homosexuals are chemically different from non-homosexual people? Like is there scientific proof that they are "born" gay and that gay attraction is not learned? In any case, I have been taught that even if homosexuality is "born" into people, and not developed, that doesn't make homosexual behavior justified. </p>
<p>Some people are born predisposed to homosexuality, okay. But others are born predisposed towards alcohol and drugs, too. Just because people are born with an innate sense of homosexuality doesn't mean that it's justifiable. Just because it's an unchangeable facet of their personality and sexuality doesn't mean that it's a "good" and acceptable thing. </p>
<p>Also: someone mentioned that they loved gay people's "style" and that they're "fashionable." Oh. Wow. What's with stereotyping gay people as fashionable? </p>
<p>I know gay people that are completey "regular" or indistinguishable from straight people, and they don't primp or wear more stylish clothes or whatever. "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is sort of a funny show, but the guys seem like such caricatures, stereotypes for what straight people believe gays are like. It bugs me to see people think gay males have some sort of market on being "fashionable" or something. I know gay guys that act and dress just like straight guys, except they happen to like boys.</p>
<p>Its basically a good example of old america vs. the real world. People just want to live in the past.</p>

America should care becuse if we allow gay marriage what is to stop other detestable behavior?

I believe you must put into consideration why the behavior is bad. So far, nobody can tell you why gay is bad. But I can tell you why marrying your dog is bad. But really, I hate when anti-gay people say that. So they let gay people slide. So what? Why do you guys always have to bring in that stupid dog arguement? (Not that you have, but I feel that's where its headed)

We never label the "straight lifestyle" or the "fat man's lifestyle" or how about "the black woman's lifestyle". I do know gay people and they are all different and lead different lifestyles just like you and me. It is unfair to group them in such a negative connotation.
[/quote]
... I thought we there was an actual stereotypical fat man's lifestyle and black girl's lifestyle. I always assumed the gay lifestyle was to date gay people.

Shut up.</p>
<p>To the person who says its never justified. Let me ask you.
I am straight. I was born straight. And that's good.
He is gay. You're proposing he was born gay. And that's bad.
What is the difference?</p>
<p>if it is detestable to you, that is from a purely religious standpoint. to others, flushing a Koran down a toilet is detestable (not that its right).</p>
<p>To some people, slavery is not detestable. And I put partial blame on the bible.</p>
<p>But I really don't think getting into this discussion is neccessary. Atleast for me, all I want to know is why is being gay bad? Nobody has ever been able to enlighten me.</p>
<p>elisah you compare homosexuality to alcohol and drugs? Wow talk about not having an open mind. Assuming homosexuality is genetic(which recent tests prove), then why force someone to not be an individual and make them lead a miserable life. Once again it is not your right or anyone else's to oppress homosexuals(I know how badly you want to) because this country is not under "God's" law but rather it is under something called the United States Constitution and state control, which I am sorry does not prohibit homosexuals from coming out.</p>
<p>nobody can EXPLAIN to you why being gay is bad, just as you can't EXPLAIN to a serial killer why killing somebody is bad.</p>
<p>im not saying that homosexuality is akin to homocide, but that you can't explain morality.</p>
<p>No, no. Usually when you explain why a serial killer is bad you say "because they kill people." Someone being killed can affect you.</p>
<p>When you explain why being gay is bad. The only thing I have heard is "the bible..." and we're not to be using the bible as a defense.</p>

not true. there is no "gay" gene. homosexuality, i read, is determined the same way left/right-handedness is- the wiring of the brain early in development.</p>
<p>why being gay is bad? it's unnatural, promiscuous, and obscene. basically if you believe that homosexuality is wrong you hafta believe that premarital sex is wrong.</p>
<p>Oh, thanks for catching that. There are NO TESTS that link homosexuality to genetics except for the "may be more inclined to" thing. But if you'd notice, not everyone who is more inclined to being gay is actually gay.</p>

What the? I wasn't proposing he was born gay; I find that ridiculous. People choose to be gay because they like guys and don't like girls...they crave sex from their same sex..=>pretty much straight forward.</p>
<p>Thesloc, people choose to have GAY SEX because they are gay. Not the other way around! How can you prevent someone from being gay? As if all the negativity put on being gay is not enough.</p>

gay sex is not against the law either.</p>
<p>umm it has?? Ever taken AP bio? Or are you still enrolled in your "creation science" class at your local church with a stay at home mom with no degree as your teacher?</p>

<p>The media puts pressure on children...why just the other day, I was browsing through my T.V channels, and surprisingly: I found a particular cartoon/show to be more than gay: Spongebob Squarepants. </p>
<p>No offense or anything; but that specific character pretty much acts gay on "special" occasions. I seen males kiss males on that show. I seen pretty much the "gay" sterotype on that particular show.</p>
<p>That has to be the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard of. If anything most societal pressures are anti gay. Children do not learn to be gay from a show with no sexual references at all in spongebob squarepants.</p>
